Q-see 4CH Dvr with Motion Detection & USB 2.0 Port

I bought one of these along with my neighbor from another site about a year ago. The motion detection is absolutely useless, so if you really want that feature buy another DVR. The remote control isn't intuitive at all so it makes it a little annoying to navigate the menus. If you have less than 4 cameras, you can disable the unused video inputs but when you set it to auto cycle through all the cameras, it still shows the blank blue screen for those inputs. Since this is an entry level CCTV DVR, it doesn't multitask, which means you have to stop recording to playback recordings. Other than those complaints the DVR works fairly well. Once in a while when the power goes out, when the DVR starts up it prompts to recover the HD where it left off, I'm not real sure what that means but it will stay at that prompt forever until you answer the question, which means if it happens while you're on vacation there goes your security system until you get back to say YES. This sounds like a negative review but for the price this isn't too bad of a choice. If you can find a DVR with functional motion detection for around this price, I'd get that one instead.

Despite having to install and format the hard drive, I found this recorder to be easy to operate and set up. The directions could use a little work.

This DVR looks good but what i didn't realize was that it's not designed for recording TV shows; it's made to record from security cameras. That's not the main problem, though.

What it should say in big letters in the product description is that YOU NEED TO PLUG A HARDDRIVE INTO IT BEFORE YOU CAN USE THIS DVR AT ALL!

(The company's website says an IDE harddrive but i didn't see where it said what minimum or maximum size you should or could use.)

I bought this thing and it doesn't even come with a hard drive. Now I am stuck with it becaused I scratched it up a little. I don't know if it was scratched by me or somebody else. I'm not the kind of person to send damaged goods back to the seller. Anyway I've been trying to find out what kind of hard drive that works in this thing for four days now so I can order one. Nobody has gotten back in touch with me. So make sure this is what you want.
