VGMan 0 Posted January 21, 2008 Theoretically the specs are good but the single weakest link for the Q-See DVRs is the remote access software which is the most unreliable and weakest I have encountered. Additionally, when it comes time to get recorded video off the internal hard drive and converted into a format (e.g. AVI) that can be used more widely you are also up the creek.

Grimgrak 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Well what are some other systems you recommened that have these features? Theoretically the specs are good but the single weakest link for the Q-See DVRs is the remote access software which is the most unreliable and weakest I have encountered. Additionally, when it comes time to get recorded video off the internal hard drive and converted into a format (e.g. AVI) that can be used more widely you are also up the creek.
