Excellent replacement

This was a replacement for another unit purchased from a local company. Ten times better. Sends notifications straight to your phone. Universal. Excellent unit. Technical support has been a hit with me, but overall a great product.

Pros

Cons
  • Some minor issues

Good DVR and easy to use.

It was easy for me to connect and set up this DVR for my four cameras. Cameras with coaxial connectors are not easy to find. The DVR has determined whether the camera is CVI, AHD, etc. The three cameras are 4 MP and the DVR can easily handle it.

Pros
  • PLUG & 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. With H.265 compression technology, you can compress video files with no discernible difference in quality. Additional cameras can be purchased under ASIN: B07NVXSP8Q.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

As a test, I set channel 4 to IP mode, but couldn't figure out how to add an IP camera. The interface is similar to IP DVRs but none of my Amcrest IP cameras are showing. This was not a…

Pros
  • USING ULTRAHD 4K - Amcrest 8MP Surveillance DVR supports uncompressed, zero-latency point-to-point raw, 4K UltraHD video transmission at resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 at 7 fps. Supports resolutions of 1080p and below at 30 fps.
