Disappointed with network interface

Sad to say I didn't realize the network interface was 10/100 Meg and not a 1 gig. Disappointed new of a technology and these are configured with such a slow interface.

Good product with big potentials

So far so good

Looking For a Q-See Replacement? Look No Further! Replaced My QC8832 32 channel NVR With Amcrest NV5232E-16P

By Jim S.

When Q-See went out of business in January 2021 I needed to get a replacement NVR for my QC8832 32 channel NVR to deal with the inevitable loss of their Q-See App due to future iOS upgrades that would eventually render the app non-functional. As soon as the QC View DDNS server was shut down (stopping all Q-See customers remote viewing capabilities) I was able to get my two systems back easily by using a new DDNS with the QC View app but I knew the App?s days were numbered. Not wanting my site...

4K Quality
The DVR finally brings 4K UHD quality to a NVR that can be viewed on vivid, crystal-clear 8-Megapixel resolution. Experience true High Definition video unlike any other system as your monitor brings everything to life. Whether you are recording, taking snapshots, or checking Motion Detection alerts, no detail will make it past you even if it tried.

Amcrest 32-Channel NVR 16-Port PoE
Connect up to 32 cameras at once that you can control at the same time through the NVRs on-screen display! You can record up to 32CH 8MP Recording @ 30 and 4CH Playback @ 4K, 32CH 8MP Recording @30fps and 2CH Playback @ 30fps, 32CH 5MP Recording @30fps and 3CH Playback @30fps, 32CH 4MP Recording @30fps and 4CH Playback @30fps, 32CH 3MP Recording @30fps and 4CH Playback @30fps, and 32CH 2MP Recording @30fps and 8CH Playback @30fps onto on any hard drive size. Supports up to 2 x 10TB (Hard drive Not Included) and utilizes motion detection and scheduled recordings to record for a lot longer than continuous recording would allow.

Real-Time, No Latency Viewing
The HD NVR's closed-circuit design allows you to watch things happen as they happen. With a high-speed, dedicated, dual-core embedded processor, you can be ensured that your recorded footage will have virtually no latency which allows for real-time, highly reliable video security streams without loss or delay. You may as well be standing right there!

Remote Viewing and Storage
When you bring your NVR online, you can tap into your system and check on all your cameras at any time from anywhere in the world! You can do this through the Amcrest View smartphone/tablet app as well as through the web interface once it has been setup for remote viewing. This allows you to always keep in touch with what's going on no matter where you are and even features alert notifications on the go!

Amcrest View App for iPhone or Android
Free yourself from having to sit at a computer to check on your cameras! Now, you can take them with you on the go by pulling up live feeds with the new Amcrest View app. It is free to download and available on the App Store and Play Store. The HD NVR comes with a QR-code for a quick and painless plug-and-play setup for remote viewing on your smartphone. Just scan it into the app and start viewing right away!

More Secure Than IP
Instead of having multiple devices independently accessible through the network, with the HD NVR, you only have one device. This NVR will be the hub for all your cameras at once. It's not only easier to set-up, but easier to manage, troubleshoot, access and control. And because you only have one device online, as opposed to multiple, you can also feel more secure.

Backwards Compatible
NVR is backwards compatible with VGA, 720p and 960p, IP Cameras. Fully compatible with Amcrest IP cameras.

Intelligent Timeline Playback
Amcrest NVRs come equipped with an intelligent timeline playback feature which allows you to view all of your recordings on a beautiful, intuitive interface. Scroll seamlessly through different days, hours, or minutes and stream your recorded videos easily.

Plug-and-Play Set-up with Intuitive On Screen Display
No confusing configuration necessary. With the HD NVR, you just connect your Ethernet cable, and enjoy your vibrant HD stream. At last, no more messy computer software downloading or configuration necessary. No need to worry about IP configuration, subnetting, or port forwarding for each and every single camera independently. Instead, configure all your IP cameras into one location, the NVR, to gain access to all of your cameras at once! Enjoy viewing, controlling, and managing all your cameras on the NVR's built-in OSD. You can even use your own mouse!

USB for Data Transfers and HDMI or VGA Output
20 full Terabytes of storage space not enough? You don't have to delete old recordings to make room. Now you can pop in a USB drive or cable and backup your most important videos to an external storage device! And you can choose between standard and high definition output to any monitor or TV of your choice. Imagine showing off your cameras on the big screen!
