Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Q-See QSD004-160 4 Channel Motion Detection DVR with Pre-installed 160GB Hard Drive
Customer Review: DVR works, but has some annoying quirks
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this same DVR (QSD004) separately with better cameras. DVR has very basic features. Neighbor got one with DOA remote, been trying to get new one from Q-See for a month. Here's the CONS:
1) Motion detection is a complete failure. At sens 2 it only records large vehicles, not people. At sens 1 (highest..make sense?) it records almost non-stop. Sens 9 would probably only record a nuclear blast.
2) Can't delete recordings...auto deletes old when full.
3) With less than 4 cameras, it cycles to unused camera screens even when disabled in options.
4) It resets to Quad view every time you exit menu, very annoying with 1-2 cameras.
5) FF and RW very slow when scanning hours of video.
6) Recording is disabled when playing back video.
7) No audio.
8) Scheduler is for ALL cameras, not each.
9) The 30fps is divided between ALL cameras. 4 camers=7fps each.
10) Changing date/time filter to find a certain day's recording is very unintuitive.
11) Menu navigation is very unintuitive.
That said, everything works except the motion detection which is totally unreliable and virtually useless. Q-See refuses to respond to me about a possible firmware upgrade or future update. Since both my neighbor and I haven't yet had success dealing with Q-See I'm starting to wonder if anyone works there.
