Clover 4 channel IP Addressable Standalone Digital Video Recorder.

Clover 4 channel IP Addressable Standalone Digital Video Recorder.I bought the no hard drive version of this recorder and added my own HDs. Replaced my analog time lapse VCRs which were a pain to maintain. The IP addressable feature is handy if you want to keep sight on your premises through the Internet. We recently traveled overseas and I was able to log in and see the views. Setting up the IP accessing from the Net is almost only for the geeks. Two options are mentioned in the manual for setting up the DDNS access, via dyndns.org and cloverdvr.com. The latter does not even exist (rechecked at the time of this writing) so I have to take a point off. Another thing to note is that while it takes video input from four cameras there is only one audio source input.

Update: My recorder lasted only 9 months. Poor electronics quality. Supposedly, has a 2-year warranty but I have to spend $30 to ship it to them and to include $30 for return and have no idea how long they will keep it. Instead, for $89 I can get another brand recorder of same type right here from Amazon.

(Wanted to change the stars to one, but was not able to do that.)
