Review on 📹 Amcrest 1080-Lite 8CH DVR Video Security Digital Recorder: Pentabrid & IP Camera Support, HDD & Cameras NOT Included - AMDVTENL8-H5 by Brian Rivenbark

After dealing with a bad Zmodo DVR and two absolutely crappy Zosi units, I began to doubt that I could find a working DVR in this price range. I was wrong. Amcrest has proven itself from day one, with a very easy setup, a user-friendly interface, and a fast and stable Android app. Unlike Zosi devices, the DVR hasn't crashed or frozen yet, and the picture quality is more than adequate for light to medium commercial applications. Update: After updating some of my older cameras I found image quality on all channels. degrade heavily. After some research, I found this to be a common problem for people who have upgraded to 1080p and other high-resolution cameras. The resolution of this DVR is not 1080p but 1080n, so using cameras with higher resolution than 720p or 960h will result in poor video quality on all channels. I am very surprised that amcrest is misleading and am now beyond disappointed with this product. Amcrest Support blames the new cameras, although all cameras, both new and old, are affected, indicating a problem with the DVR.
