Review on XVIM 8CH 1080P Security Camera System with 1TB Hard Drive - 4pcs HD 1920TVL Cameras for Home Surveillance with Night Vision & Remote Access by Patrick Hamman

Really impressed with the price I paid for it, Shipping was not what was promised but I think that was on UPS not amazon or this seller, I thought I saw something about metal housing for the cameras but I could be mistaken but just a FYI these are plastic, Also no weather proof connections for the cameras outside, Havent had an issue yet with that but we will see, Make sure you have a backup monitor if you plan on hooking this up to a tv, my 55 inch tv would not support the resolution out the box but was able to fix it on another tv, tech support via email was kinda slow and broken english but I had already figured it out. Good for the moneyEdit: Dropped a star, Less than 3 months now I am starting to have the system reboot on its own, The video files are sometimes corrupted. I did add 2 of the Zoshi (I think thats how you spell it) Cameras and the difference is Apples to oranges, metal frame cameras and the level of detail is off the charts compared to the ones that came with the system, 1 of which the Infrared lights are already out on, Have till the end of the month to return it thanks to the christmas return policy, trying to decide if that is what I want to do and get a system from the Zoshi (or however you spell it) Will add some screenshot recordings laterUpdate 2: Have lost 2 of the cameras that came with the system, (replaced with other ones off amazon) Now DVR starts power cycling throughout the day, This was a 8 channel system and the only way to keep it from cycling is to drop 2 of the channels, so can run only 6, there is no fan on the internal workings of it and it does get warm wondering if that is what could be the problem.Also, the UI is a pain in the rear, you can only access it either through the box itself, or have to use internet explorer and use settings that cause microsoft to basically yell you are an idiot just to get into the workings of a box and im pretty sure im seeing someone trying to come behind my firewall to see my system. not the biggest expert on that kind of thing but something isnt right in that dept.You get what you pay for so be careful. much like the broken English you get in anything related to this company, its also the standard for the stuff they sell, will be replacing the whole unit before long
