Advice On Dvr Please

[G0HWC]

Hi all,

 

I would like some advice on buying a DVR to setup up a home security system.

I have been hunting the MINEFIELD of DVR's and just want to make sure I don't

end up buying a box of junk.

I have been looking at the Procom 8 ch DVR with 1 TB HD

Here is a link to it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320921369058

 

I would like to have access to it via the net and also allow limited

access to it via my website and use both PTZ and fixed cams.

 

So is this a good buy or is there something else members think would sute my needs better ?

 

Paul

Can you think of any high end anything you would go to eBay for?

There are a lot of junk dvrs around. The one you have looked at is by far from the most spectacular in the world but there are plenty of them and similar from a number of suppliers. What is the most you are prepared to pay for one?

What PTZ's and protocols?

[G0HWC]

Only looking to pay up to around £200

 The PTZ is: PELCO-D,PELCO-P  Compatible with saved Presets and Camera Cruise Control

 

What made me pick this one out was the quote:

D1 recording on every channel

Tbh at £200 mark all products in that price range aren't going to be staggeringly different in terms of quality. They are built to a price. I wouldn't expect the earth. Someone here might have a particular favourite but it is a case that you get what you pay for and £200 is at the very low end of the scale in dvr terms. Better than a VHS tape though.
