    A fine DVR which you can without difficulty stream from and FTP from (to your server)

    This is a very good low end DVR. It fixes the big issues I had with my XXXX DVR (brand deleted but you know who they are).With this DVR you can stream without exposing your DVR and your images to their "cloud".It has all the usual functions so I won't waste your time describing them. They are fine and all work.The big bonus is the ability to set up RTSP streams from the DVR from each of your cameras. Here is how in the manufacturer's techie's own words (it only took two days to get a response on Memorial Day weekend, just WOW).HelloThank you for your reply.The ftp setting path is: main menu - system - NetService. Double-click ftp with the mouse to set the ftp upload server information.The snapshot setting path is: main menu - record - snapshot conf. You can set snapshot and enable the ftp upload function here.In main menu - alarm, Intelligent Alert and Human Detect can enable the ftp upload function.RTSP streaming address:Channel 1: rtsp://:554/user=&password=&channel=1Channel 2: rtsp://:554/user=&password=&channel=2 needs to be modified to the specific information of the DVR.Thank youBest wishesI have not tried the FTP yet but the RTSP worked like a tater using VLC. I had originally tried it without knowing anything and it worked but the tech person filled in the part about addressing the individual cameras. I only tried one stream at time because I did not want to heat up the processor on the DVR. It gets plenty hot just doing it's DVR thing, so to hopefully help it and the hard drive last a lot longer I cut a hole in the top and mounted an 80 mm fan blowing down onto the hard drive and the heat sink on the processor. My other DVR's have suffered heat death and I like this one a whole lot better so the 30 minutes it took to mount the fan was worth it.I hope this helps you to decide and honestly I hope it helps you to select this DVR, because this manufacturer built a good product and they support it. They should be rewarded with good reviews and good sales. I wish you and them the best. I have already ordered my second unit in less than two weeks.Steve

    Wonderful, chiefly for the cost!

    Promptly delivered and well packaged. The system is amazing, especially for its price. It come with 4 cameras! It can accommodate 8 cameras total, which is amazing. I installed the cameras, ran the wires, hooked them into the box with no problems. I had to buy a display separately, but I got one at Walmart for $80 and it works perfectly. This system is terrific, again for the amazing price. Highly recommended. I also like that it does not *require* an internet connection to work or even a WiFi system.I really wanted something hard-wired and this is it. (I hate seeing "network error. Contact manufacturer" or "incorrect password" when I know it's correct. None of that frustrating BS with this system (important for a security system). So far, very happy with this purchase.
