Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I searched around a lot for a system that would record onto portable media for a decent price. I found this item on Amazon and it looked to be a fair deal: 4 color cameras with motion detection and night vision capabilities.
The system does as it describes, it records video either through a scheduled recording or motion activation. Setting up was easy enough, but the manual is FAR from being descriptive enough and the software in the recorder is somewhat cumbersome. The manual is written in broken English, my favorite line being "The cameras incidental with was built in with motion sensor and the
recommended setting for this function is Off."
In order to review recordings, one must go through the entire list of recordings, one by one. There is no delete option, as the only way to remove recordings is to format the entire card or insert into a computer (which I tried and could not get the computer to recognize the card ??)
The manufacturer's website, [...] is no longer available as of this writing (6/12/09) and the only way I could access any manuals or information about the system I bought was to utilize Google's cache of the site.
The motion detection certainly does detect motion and records video according to how you have the system configured, but when I tested my recorder it ended up taking up the entire memory card with five second videos of absolutely no activity (despite attempting to adjust the sensitivity of the detection.)
If you are looking for a RELATIVELY cheap system that will record video as it is described to do, then this might be alright. Be forewarned that the software is barely adequate in terms of ease of use and functionality.
I certainly hope that the manufacturer's website reappears and that I can get some technical support for this system.
