Aposonic Convertible AHD 1080P / Analog 960H Weather-Proof Surveillance Bullet IR Camera (White)

System works alright. I'm sure there's better units that are easier to use but this was a good one for the value.

One of my cameras has moisture in it and is now unusable.

No product manual.... You better have some idea of what you are doing because there is no manual.Edit: I found a video on you tube and had no trouble getting things set up.

This system works great! Even with no lights turned on in my shop the cameras pick up light from somewhere. I can view the inside of the shop at night via my phone or I-pad and I can see whats happening.I feel this was a good purchase.Crazy-Hungarian

It took us a couple months from the time I ordered this until we were moved into our new space and started hooking it up. We installed everything yesterday and found out there is no hard drive of any type inside the DVR recorder. You cannot record. The customer support said sometimes they do not come with hard drives...WHAT?! HUH?! What is the point of buying a security system and the security DVR recorder - key word there- RECORDER- if it cannot record? That's like buying golf clubs but not buying golf balls. Like ordering a salad and saying hold the lettuce, what is the point. The only reason I do not give this 1 star is there customer service is quick to respond, and I have still not decided if I am, returning this whole system yet or not, that will depend on what they do to make it right.Another issue I found is very poor instructions on everything the DVR recorder can do. I still have no idea how to watch the cameras from my phone, even though it is plugged into our router. I see nothing explaining this to us. There was no mention of the unit not having a hard drive until I emailed them. The instructions are small, and there are a lot of settings and options on the settings once you power everything up. I have no idea what 95% of these settings and parameters are or how to set them. I wish I just kept using my old system, but I needed a DVR recorder that could handle more cameras than I had been using.

this is so nice its worth every thing and we feel so safe with it think evey one should have one

My family and friends have bought Aposonic "E" series DVRs (similar to what is shown here) with very good results. Everything works. Tech support by telephone is excellent. These DVRs are rare in their provision for external alarm inputs, a reliable avenue for intrusion detection; most competitors have nothing here at all. I even tested audio input and output... there was some undesirable feedback from output to input channel 1 ... apparently a design flaw in the "E" series printed circuit board... so I simply voided one channel of audio input. I am EECS and very thorough...I recommend that you install freebie surveillance App in your smartphone, before you buy anything... from anybody. There are various Aposonic DVRs here that use various Apps. Yes, I inspect from a distance, by desktop computers (Windows and Apple) and smartphones (Android and Apple).It's tricky for layperson to get remote access, over the internet; he must know how to configure router at the site where the DVR exists.I bought one DVR of the non-E series... it used TapCMS app on Android... but I found that DVR to be undesirable so I exchanged it for an "E" series, with satisfactory results. "Non-E" had e-mail erraticisms... and user's interface (through IE) was less refined than that for the "E" series.

Based on the nice feedback on Newegg, I chose to buy the system on Amazon due to the tax issue...Anyway, no complaint! The CCD sensor cameras faithfully deliver video quality crystally clear!The control graphic design is easily understandable.After did the portforwarding, set the network configuration, and install the app on app store, I now can live view on my iPhone.I noticed that I had to run a batch file in my computer and then I can have full remote control under Firefox or Chrome.If you are a fan of Firefox or Chrome like me, this system should currently be the best choice in the market.If you use IE browser, you don't need to install anything as the system's optimal default is for IE.
