The CV0204DVR is a complete recording system that allows you to view your security cameras online from any Internet enabled PC, anywhere in the world! This complete system comes with four outdoor cameras and can display all four (quad view) at the same time. Customize the recording and set a 24 hour recording schedule based on your preferences. You can choose to have the DVR record continuously during the day, then record only when motion is detected at night. And since each camera is equipped with night vision, you can view and record in total darkness!

This DVR can record four different camera views (quad view) simultaneously and play it back at a smooth 30 frames per second. During playback you can even display each camera in full screen or view all four without losing quality. Finding your recorded footage is a breeze.

Customer Reviews:

Not Mac compatible!

Nice product, but after getting the product, I noticed that the software files were all .exe files. I went to the SVAT website and after digging deep, there was a warning that said " Not MAC compatible". So if you are all Mac like me, look elsewhere. I'm going to purchase a monitor for the system, but will not be able to access from the internet. And while you are here, be sure and get additional extension cables for the cameras, because you'll eat up 60' before you know it.

Nice system, but could use some improvements

SVAT CV0204DVR Web-Ready DVR Security System with 4 High-Resolution Indoor/Outdoor Night Vision Surveillance Cameras


I've been using this item for approx one month now and although I think some changes need made I do not regret the purchase.

Pros:
Easy installation, good picture, night vision does a good job, being able to view online from any pc is an excellent feature

Cons:
The adjustment on the camera mounts are my main complaint. They are not made so one can easily be precise with the aiming of the cameras. After fooling with them for a while you can get them aimed exactly where you want them, but it is aggrevating. I would never have put these cameras on the market with these kind of mounts.
Depending on the locations of the dvr and monitor a remote control would be a nice addition.
Online viewing is good for the current action, but if you need to back up and check an earlier event it is really slow getting it to the time you want to view

For the money this is a good system. I have recommended this item to others.

Good, but not great

I am just installing this system. The basic function is pretty easy to set up. I have one camera installed and it works pretty well in bright light, but is a little disappointing in the dark.

The mount for the cameras is a definite drawback to this system. I had to mess around with the mount on the first camera for it to work. Even so, I am not sure the camera will hold position for any length of time. The mount is poorly engineered and machined. I was also disappointed to find no instructions regarding camera mounting. I have no idea of how secure this camera will be in adverse weather. I had considered covering the point where the wire enters the camera with a silicone seal, since it does not look waterproof. At this point, I have just mounted it under my soffitt, hoping it will not be subject to driving rain.

Once I get all the cameras installed,I will work on getting the system hooked up to the internet. At that time, I plan to modify my review.

SVAT CV0204DVR Web Ready DVR Security System

I recently bought this system it arrived on time and well packed. This being my first system that was not so complicated to set up. I really liked the power supply / cable connection set up SVAT has with this model. I get only B & W picture on my LCD TV not a big issue maybe needs adjustments and color off my computer.Day time camera pictures are very good and clear to 50 ft Night 25 ft and clear maybe more with outside lights. The best thing is to check the operation of the system prior to running the cables.Do a dry run with the cameras and check your angles set up was quick and simple after that.Up and running a week without any issues well worth the price so far. If not this model I recommend a security video system no matter what the perp says the tapes don't lie busted is busted Better security software & Remote would be a nice upgrade all in all I'm pleased

night vision camera

the camera is easy to set up, pictures is fine,but It has 2 big draw-back:
1)The hard-drive was not too stable, it failed alot(may be twice a week)
when it fail, all function disable, you need to unplug the power then
reconnect to made it work again, you may lost some important time when
you need it.
2)The unit only support single function, if you want to play(watch) the
record in the hard-drive, you must stop the report first, it is not very
good because you miss all the time while you view, you never know what
may happen on those time.
