Very good product - recommended

Very good device and easy setup. One complaint is that the BNC connectors are too close together, making connecting cables a little tricky. There is plenty of space; I wish Amcrest had a little more distance between them.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Infinitely slow

Good DVR, app has problems

The only issue I have with the system as a whole is the mobile app, it really needs some bug fixes.

Pros
  • PLUG AND PLAY - This Amcrest DVR transmits video, audio and control over a single coaxial cable. Uses existing coaxial cable networks and reduces the need for new cabling for your security system. Additional cameras can be purchased under ASIN: B07NVXSP8Q.
Cons

As good or better than expected

I bought this DVR to replace a Zosi I bought 6 months ago that stopped working properly. I installed 4 1080P cameras, 1 960H camera, 960H PTZ camera and another poor quality camera (D1?). They all work perfectly. Image and motion look as expected, even the 1080p cameras don't twitch. The PTZ camera has worked flawlessly so far. I'm using one of the 1080p cameras as the weather cam. I have a script that captures an image every minute using ffmpeg and then uploads it to Weather Underground. I was

Pros
  • VERSATILITY - This Pentabrid DVR supports analog cameras and Amcrest IP cameras with limited compatibility with 3rd party IP cameras. Supports analog HDCVI, AHD TVI and CVBS cameras.
Cons
  • No Automatic
