They sound false alarms Dogs, however,… Read moreIt’s only natural to feel like your safety is compromised while your home is being gutted for renovations.

Support for 4MP cameras is impressive at this price level, but note that it cannot simultaneously play back more than 4 channels. The hardware is not powerful enough to simultaneously playback 16x4MP streams. Its a great option if you are on a budget but I would encourage you to look at our best value recommendation below.

You can even specify which cameras should be recorded on each disk – that is a degree of fine tuning that you cannot get in lesser models.
