Astak CM-04LCU 4-Channel Digital Video Recorder

Cheapest system in the market in terms of both price and quality. no graphical user interface like other brand. makes user-friendly impossible.

Very good product. Easy to set up. Had some questions about motion dection and online service is awesome. Will purachse anothe set for another house. Love it.

I bought this for a Christmas gift for my husband. He was thrilled when he received this gift. It was very easy to set up and worked with some of the other security items he already had in the house.

You get what you pay for I guess. The DVR is great and loaded with awesome features including network/internet viewing. Also, I was missing parts in the box (the BNC/RCA adapters) but I called the manufacturer and I had them in the mail in a few days. The cameras are junk. They are low quality with horrible color. During the day, they flicker horribly and have bad green and purple tints to them. Also, they are not wide angle cameras and can't capture much. I have decided that the DVR was worth the purchase price alone, and this is how I convince myself I wasnt ripped off. I am slowly going to purchase new cameras to replace these. Overall, for home security it is nice only because of the DVR.

This unit work well until you try to back it up as an AVI file. The image is very blocky and not clear at all.
