I am a big fan of Amcrest products. This latest 1080p system replaces another Amcrest system I had. I tried another manufacturer's system and was very disappointed. Amcrest has been reliable, easy to use, and accessible from anywhere, without failure. I also like the fact that it is compatible with 720P and 960h cameras; I didn't have to purchase 16 high-resolution cameras all at once . The only downside, if you can really call it that, is that you need to ensure that you are using a compatible hard drive, one that is intended for video or surveillance use. One that is designed for desktop computing may not work. Check Amcrest's compatible hard drive list before you purchase a hard drive for this system. I am using a Seagate Skyhawk 6 TB unit, and am very pleased.I have no trouble heartily recommending the Amcrest surveillance products

Bottom line: easy to setup without even reading the manual. Available Windows (64bit), Android and Apple software means I can monitor my cameras remotely and locally from my PC, phone or tablet. Went for the 16 channels because it helps cover my whole house outside and inside and it gives me plenty of extra channels for expansion. Motion detection wasn't as intuitive to setup but a quick read in the manual got it where I want it to be. One thing to consider is that the default sensitivity out of the box for motion is maximum so don't set the email notification on until the sensitivity is changed to whatever works for the zone. I learned this the hard way with hundreds of emails in my inbox after only a few hours.Software has tons of options and it has prompted me now to read the manual in more detail. Face detection is something I have yet to try but it is an interesting feature. I recently added an Amcrest PTZ wifi camera and it integrated seamlessly with the system. Now I want to change all my outside cameras to PTZ.I hope this unit lasts me as long (or longer) as the working unit it replaces. Had to retire the old one due to my email provider who increased security and the old one couldn't send emails anymore.

Used Qsee for years but they went out of business and I've become a fan of Amcrest products after purchasing this. System auto detects type of cameras so I was able to use my old Qsee cameras, with new Amcrest BNC cameras and with Amcrest $40 Wifi PTZ cameras all at the same time.What really impressed me is that I could use 16 BNC Cameras with up to 16 IP cameras at the same time. Its a hybrid both DVR & NVR so why not get this. Was able to easily add Hard Drive internally as well as external usb drive (one caveat is there is only one usb port for a mouse & external drive so you'll need a usb splitter) The software has tons of options like Face detection thou I have yet to try. I love that I can listen to the audio live, talk through the cameras and control the movement PTZ.Only con is its only 5mp but for my use 1080p resolution was enough. With only 12 cameras recording at 1080p 265 recording 24/7 I had to get a 10TB hard drive to record 30 days.

*** UPDATE *** Got my replacement, IT had everything, a user guide, the mouse was sealed, had screws for the hard drive, had the hard drive cables separate from the unit, meaning the on the old one someone installed them already.The unit was somewhat easy to set up, I did cut my finger on the thin metal chassis. Set up was really simple. Has lots of controls for the camera and display modes. I have an HDMI monitor and a regular VGA monitor but running 1080p resolution. The BNC cables on the unit were hard to screw down because they were so close but I got it done. The phone app works very smooth compared to the older units software. I can't hold getting a used unit against the product so I raised it to 4 star's. My only real gripe is setting up the Tour mode is not as customizable as I would like.One note - I did find out that a wireless mouse works with the unit, makes setting it up so much easier!!! What I can access on it is not too bad. Problem is my NEW DVR came in, I put a hard drive in the unit, spend time hooking it up to the cameras and turned it on. It came right up, all my camera were working.. Everything was good. It warned me of resolution changes for the cameras, no problem. Well I clicked to log in to the menu system, I wanted to check out the quality of the recording, check the encoding, etc. It asked me for the Admin Password, I entered a blank at first, then the word password, then I got online to look up the default password. Seems It sets this up when you first install it, so I went in to do a password reset and it was going to send the password to someone elses email a T****@gmail.com which was not mine.. Seems this person had it before me and ran the setup. I got on with Amazon support and they are sending me a new one, and hopefully, this one will be a new one. From what I was able to see I liked the unit. One thing I like is that it has a built-in cooling fan. My complaint with the old one from antoher company was it was a hard drive killer because it got too hot.

Beeping sound would come randomly and wouldn't go away. Jason from Amcrest was able to help me resolve this through remote support. I'm glad Jason was able to help me!

Device worked well and was easily configured. Sadly after one (1) day in use, the device stopped detecting the SATA drive. Took the drive out of the unit and attached to SATA to USB adapter and plugged into PC, drive detected and functioned normally. Tried two (2) more hard drive in the unit, it would not detect either of those drives. Contacted Amcrest support via email, took over a week for an initial reply. Thereafter support suggested simple changes which I informed them had already been done.Support agent(s) continued reading their script and being less than useful. Threw the unit away and went with another vendor. Not a bad product perse, but the support after the sale is a joke...
