Anyone have expereince with this? It's a GE product and going for
about $799 for 4 channels. It uses MPEG-4 which it states is for small
applications. I plan to purchase 2 IP cameras and use 1 existing
analog camera.

thanks

I haven't had any luck with GE DVRs.
I have only used about a dozen or so, but they all have been problem units.
Most issues involve some aspect of the PTZ control element.

I went through two of these one one site. Both failed within a couple
months. GE support was almost impossible to reach and of practically no
help either time.

They don't support IP cameras, either.

Don't walk away... run.

Thanks. Any thoughts on an IP camera solution for two cameras? Axis
offers software that can be loaded onto a PC to handle this for a
small site.
