Review on 📹 D-Link Network Video Recorder (DNR-312L) - Black, HDMI Output, Single Bay SATA HDD Interface, Supports 9 Network Cameras, Standalone Storage Device by Joshua Flame

Bought 2 of these units. The first came and struggled with all web browsers to set up the system. Since D-Link released Microsoft's trusted certificates in 2015, IE, Edge, Chrome, and Firefox prevented the program from running on all browsers. I had to contact support and change my security settings so Firefox wouldn't check Java security and then I could install the latest firmware. I was then able to set up the system to work with my D-Link cameras. A fan error has occurred. The temperature of the block was not hot and it stood on my table outdoors. And I know the fan was running because it was the loudest fan I've ever heard. Before the fan failure, I was thinking about where to store the device so it wouldn't bother me. I emailed D-Link again but after 2 days with no response they sent the Revain unit back for a replacement. The second device arrived and I went through all the steps to work around issues with trusted certificates and update the firmware. I then set up all my D-Link cameras again. The fan error has occurred again. Since I didn't want to send any more data, I contacted D-Link support and they had no idea why both devices were having fan failures. They had no help for me so I returned the device to Revane. Save your money and look elsewhere for a ready-made, easy-to-use video surveillance system.
