CCTVINSTALLER 0 Posted December 30, 2004 Anyone tried out the dvr on speco tech's website? http://www.specotech.com/cart/products/productDetails.asp?prodID=687 Any feedback? Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted December 30, 2004 one word, POS! Actually, its okay as a local DVR, its darn large though, main problem it has no remote software, just a built in web server which is horrible quality on line, and I would not even consider it as remote video device. Any of the other software they give you does nothing, so ignore it. Its made by someone else cant remember the name off hand. just branded under Provideo.

CCTVINSTALLER 0 Posted December 31, 2004 Rory, is there any kalatel DVRs which offer POS? Just interested because you're right, Norbain rebadge the Kalatel DVRs as Vista. I had a norbain rep over the other week and was demonstrating the "columbus" dvr, i very impressed with the remote view quality. I think the speco DVR is actually made by dynacolor in Taiwan. Its not a bad standalone, but you're right again about the webserver, poor quality at its best! I was trying to avoid using it but my customer wanted a remote keyboard to control it so i used it in preference to the new argus DVRwith built in CDRW.

rory 0 Posted December 31, 2004 ..when i said POS i didnt mean Point of Sale!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted December 31, 2004 Yes, all of their DVRs do Point of Sale, except the EZ versions. They require an add on module however called ProBridge. Rory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CCTVINSTALLER 0 Posted January 5, 2005 Lol, yea i was wondering why you put down POS! Im guessing you meant Piece of S***! Whats so bad about it apart from the webserver, im interested because i installed my first one the other week and didn't get time to test all the features. My supplier said the dvr was similar to the DM sprite DVR and was in competition with it! Yea right ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted January 5, 2005 its ok, except i wouldnt sell the network part of it! but no, doesnt compare to DM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FredB 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Installed one a couple a weeks ago and is really regretting it. Its a good DVR if you do not need remote viewing, but the built in web server is such a pice of junk. Worst I've ever seen. Doesn't even work correctly if you are on the same LAN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heloder 0 Posted January 6, 2005 rory, have you looked at the kodicom 516? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted January 6, 2005 the portable one? I imagine kodicom will cost alot more though, the Uriel one is under $500 with lan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
