Basic but does the job
os:
Not ApplicableI bought one of these a couple of weeks ago.
This unit seems to be based on the Swann Advantage advertised on the Swann site with a free camera that's obviously not included though this unit does have a removable HDD caddy.

First impression are mixed.
-ve
The interfaced is limited and clunky though it does work.
The 60mm cooling fan is very noisey and potentially not needed as the unit seems to run cool. I think I'll modify this to 7V.
Fast forwarding to look for events on the box is hit and miss, at the faster speed it sutters in 15 sec jumps.
Record can be set in one of three modes Timed, Motion, Alarm (sensor) however individual cameras cannot be configured and the settings apply to hour chunks.
I would have liked to have some cameras on motion and some on permanent.
The maximum record time for Alarm or motion is 30 seconds and it seems limited to 64 events giving a total record time of 32 minutes. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place but I couldn't find any more events in either the PC interface or with the box and it had overwritten earlier events. - This is a major limitation in my opinion especially when couple with the above inability to configure different modes for different cameras.
When the USB PC interface is connected the unit will not record so you cannot leave it connected all the time.
Recording format unknown but compression is low therefore you need a large HDD. I get around 4 days with an 80GB drive recording 2 cameras @ 6FPS in high quality.

Record quality is good, equal when compared with a the Geovision PCI card I was using.
Dual outputs is useful if you want to monitor from 2 locations
PC interface works very well, fast fwd works great for searching for events though it records some very big files.
Supports motion dection with a 12x 12 grid which can exclude areas, though the number of events is very limited.
The monitoring functions and remote work well, quick to change between cameras
Overall, if you just want a cheap box to record a few cameras then this will do the job. I have mine hidden away and use a PC to review images if I need to.
Considering the price, as a standalone I'd give this 3 stars, the PC interface boosts it to 4.
which cables required ?
I purchased the DVR installed a 320gb hard drive.
But I can't seem to tune it into my Tv through the video out (ariel leed).Do I need to buy a monitor ?
Any comments would help me out...
Questions
1. Does it come with any HDD? If not, what sort does it take? IDE / SCSI
2. Can you record 4 seperate camera's at the same time?
3. Can the video be downloaded and saved via PC?
Cheers.
Video ouput
you can not connect the video output from this DVR through your TV aerial.Connect it to your TV using Your tv scart socket. will will need to make a bnc - scart cable.For scart connections just do a search on google.
