What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Camera capacity claims differ: the title says up to 24 IP cameras, while feature details describe 16 analogue plus 2 IP cameras simultaneously and an IP-only configuration of up to 10 cameras. The listed 6 TB storage also conflicts with the product description stating no HDD is included and feature text describing support for up to 10 TB. Confirm the selected configuration and storage details before purchase.

The available aggregate ratings are sharply divided, with ratings at both ends of the scale and no middle ratings shown. The sample is very small, so it cannot establish why customers were satisfied or dissatisfied. For buyers, the practical priorities are confirming camera compatibility and resolving the listing's camera-capacity and storage inconsistencies before relying on this recorder for a particular setup.

Frequently asked questions

Does this recorder include a hard drive?

No. The title says no HDD, and the package list also identifies the DVR as supplied without one. The listing separately gives a 6 TB storage specification and mentions support for up to 10 TB, so confirm the storage details for the selected listing.

How many cameras can it support?

The listing describes up to 16 analogue cameras plus 2 IP cameras simultaneously. It also describes an IP-only configuration supporting up to 10 IP cameras. These details differ from the title's claim of support for 24 IP cameras, so verify the intended configuration.

Can I view recordings without an internet connection?

The product description says local recording and live viewing work when connected to a monitor or TV without internet. Internet access is required for remote control and motion push notifications.

What connections are listed?

The listed connections are Ethernet, HDMI, USB and VGA. The specifications also list two USB ports and RCA audio input.
