HDE EasyCap Model 002 - 4 Channel USB 2.0 DVR Video Audio CCTV Capture Adapter

Satisfactory product, hardware is great, software is weak. Would be nice if clearer to explain only records on one channel at a time, even though you can view all 4 channels. Attempted third party software solutions, but can only get other programs to recognize channel 2 as a record input. For the price, makes an excellent one channel video capture. If they redesigned the software for 4 cam capture I would be 5 stars satisfied! Compatible with both my XP and Vista 2.0USB computers, not compatible with 1.0 USB.

[It never worked the seller was unable to communicate and i don't have the time to file a claim against every rip off con-artist here. BUYER BEWARE! DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM.]

Ok i have recently discovered that this is not as bad as i thought. With no help from the manufacturer i gave up originally, i put it in my drawer and forgot about it, and then I'm like lets try it again. I hooked it up to my usb 2.0 hub and then i tried the Multiviewer software and no luck. Read the steps below if you use vista or windows 7.

If you are looking for $400 software driven DVR system, this item is not for you. If you are looking for something basic to record up to 4 channels, look no further! I see a lot of reviews about this item where the person is demanding/expecting all sorts of features,its a $10 product! It installed with no hitches at all, within 3 minutes up and running and recording (Win XP). Mine came set to PAL, so be sure to check your settings. I recorded over 8hrs last night and it came out to a 2 gig avi file. During the day recording, it seems the files will be smaller. The software is very basic, you have your 4 channels and a few options off to the side mostly snapshot/picture stuff. I got this for under $15, and it does the most important thing....record with great quality(camera permitting).

As others have said, s/w is weak. I bought this to upload my four outside cameras to a website. In order to do this, I need a constant filename. I had been using an ancient snappy w. snapcap s/w with a video switcher to upload to my website but the snappy started having problems. This device lets you view all four channels at once, and will save a jpg of the channels at a timed interval. However, you can't name this jpg what you want, it defaults to date/time format, no matter what. You can manually name a shot, but since I wanted a jpg at five minute intervals, this is too much manual for me. It will also not ftp automatically, but there's other free s/w to do that. Computer is a 1.2ghz pentium running XP. No other s/w except my weather station s/w runs on this so there appears to be lots of computing power for the app. Three *'s for this.

Update: Worked with limitations as stated above for two months, then suddenly died. Will not get recognized by XP anymore, another computer will not see it either. Because of the limited lifetime I lowered my review *'s.

I purchased this DVR with great intentions and was absolutely dissapointed with the lack of instruction and customer support. It states that windows 7 is compatible do not be fooled it will not work with windows 7. I have made numerous attempts to locate and install drivers from both their website and the internet and still no luck installing the software on my computer. There is nobody to talk to if you need help with the installation or if you just have basic questions regarding the product. There is a forum on there website that is suppossed to help, I couldn't find any thing that helped. I cannot speak for other systems I am using a Dell Inspirion 17R with windows 7. This might be the perfect product for someone using an older operating system. The actual device itself seemed to be ok and I recieved my item in about 2 days however good luck trying to figure out the installation and software. If there is something I can say that would help the seller is that they must create a better website that is more user freindly and establish some sort of customer service to assist people with software and installation. And for the buyers, if you are running windows 7 probably will not install correctly. I hope this helps.
