Review on 📸 101AV 8CH Security Camera System: Full HD 1080P DVR/NVR with 1TB HDD, HDMI/VGA/BNC Video Out, Mobile Apps, Analog & Network Cam Compatibility by Luis Thompson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

convenient remote viewing on mobile phone

I ordered this from Revain to replace the difficult to use DVR that came with my camera system. The previous DVR used remote viewing software that was difficult to set up. I didn't know enough about ports and IPs to get it working without professional IT help every time it crashed. This new DVR arrived yesterday. Took me about an hour to put it into action. My existing cameras were recognized immediately. I then downloaded a cell phone viewing app (Guarding Vision) and had remote access. I then added it to my spouse's phone and my iPad. (using the same login for everyone, so we can probably only remotely view one device at a time). I was able to do everything myself by following the quick start guide that came with the dashcam. Well, to be honest there are many options and settings that I haven't looked into. And probably never will be. I just programmed mine to record on the go. So far, playing back recorded events in the mobile application has worked well. I'm giving this 5 stars because I was able to set everything up in about an hour while I spent many days trying unsuccessfully to reconfigure my old dash cam to allow remote viewing. UPDATE: I just downloaded the viewing software on my desktop computer at work and we now have remote viewing on our phones, tablets and work computers. It was very easy to set up. I simply followed the setup instructions for the "CMS" software that came with the disk. Very impressed so far. i give 5 stars because i was able to set everything up in about an hour while i spent many days trying unsuccessfully, reconfiguring my old dvr to allow remote viewing.
