2013-11-06 I found the Night Owl TL-DVR8 H960<\/a> for $127 shipped, use the old hard drive and already mounted cameras. Came out great.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

2013-10-03 The DVR box died after 19 months of service – The box replacement alone costs $279 – I think it’s time to try different company because $279 for every 19 months is not very economical. \u00a0I thought Costco gives 2 years warranty but they don’t. They helped by contacting Qsee – Qsee said they fix for free up to 18 months, and mine was 19 months old, it might died a long time ago but I just noticed it last week.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

2013-04-28 The Plugin doesn’t work with Firefox 20+. Until the fix is in, don’t use Firefox browser 20.+. Uninstall Firefox and use any other Firefox 19 or earlier. Firefox browser is getting worse on every new version. The cameras are still working great<\/a>, the recording drive is still alive.<\/em><\/p>\n

2012-03-04 So after installing the system, here are the features that work with my Q-see <\/em>QT428-440-5<\/em>.<\/p>\n

1. All cameras work day and night (wish wide angle and 600 TVL instead of 480 45% angle).<\/em><\/p>\n

2. DVR records with motion sensors very well, all videos files can be backed up locally for viewing (AVI) format with time stamps.<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Internet remote monitoring (view, backup, modify config, everything with dvr) is working with windows firewall and NOT with antivirus firewall. Windows Xp & 7, Mac OS X, Android Tablets work.<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Email works, if we enter email address and configure the server, set the motion alarm to email with attachment, it will send pictures to the email when motion is detected. This only works with GMAIL (GOOGLE) mail, Yahoo mail doesn’t work. Make sure to have gmail account created if we want to use this feature.<\/em><\/p>\n

Again, after the house had been broken into, I installed home alarm<\/a>, then IP internet camera surveillance system to feel a little more comfortable when we’re out of the house. After checking all the surveillance systems on the internet, I found an 8 channels IP internet camera system from Q-see on sale at Costco for $279 with 4 day\/night cameras. I ordered one to see if it’s good, with the great return policy at Costco, it’s worth to try. Before I ordered the package, I read about the ir led cameras, some customers complain a certain night vision cameras don’t work well, it’s due to the design and the number of ir LEDs on the cameras. The basic design is 2 ft for each LED, so, the more ir LEDs, the farther away it can see at night. This Q-see system came with 4 – 480 lines of resolution and 24 – ir LEDs built in, they do work well in total darkness. The reason we want to get the 8 channels is in case we want to mount more cameras, we can. <\/em><\/p>\n
