Westshine 16 Channel 1080N DVR, H.265 CCTV Home Surveillance System Recorder, 16ch Hybrid 5-in-1 DVR for TVI/CVI/AHD/CVBS/IP Security Cameras, Remote Viewing, Motion Detection(NO Hard Disk Included)

I got this DVR as a replacement to my old Swannview DVR. This DVR works perfectly as it's described. Setup was a breeze following the setup guide that came with the unit. The mobile app works well and that was a huge plus for me. The picture quality looks allot better than my old DVR. If your looking to replace a broken or old DVR, this is the best bang for your buck.

If you're expecting this DVR to come with a remote control, you'll be disappointed. The description clearly stated a remote was included, however mine came without one. Amazon switched out the unit for a brand new one, and what do you know. No remote included with the replacement either. Not surprising, the remote has been scrubbed from the description. I took a screenshot of the description knowing this would likely happen, just in case I'd be later told the remote was never advertised.This DVR is worthless unless you only want to control it with your phone, problem is that's not always feasible. Again, if you need a DVR with a remote, look elsewhere.

I purchased this item to replace my broken Q-see dvr. At the time of purchase I failed to see that this item did not include a HDD (won’t record from the cameras). Luckily I was able to use the one from the broken dvr.It also does not come with a remote control, just a wired mouse to do the set up. The supplier was kind enough to refund some money to purchase a wireless mouse for the unit.I was able to remotely view live camera shots from out of state using cellular LTE. This is something I could not do with my old Q-see dvr.

This unit actually works as advertised. Easy to set up. I already had the cameras in place. I installed the hard drive and plugged in the cameras, turned it on and followed the on screen instructions and was set in less than 30 min.

The first one lasted 10 months got a nother and it lasted about the same time and it just went out this week Sunday

Good product.At the present time working fine.

This product is bad, it just keep burning the hard drive is waste of money

this replaced old dvr which has problems. it's very easy to install and works great from the app i can monitor my business

This is a great deal

I like this product as it was an exact change up from my old hard drive and easy to install

This unit does not come with a hard drive so I installed and after market one. It has mounting holes for the drive but requires a longer than standard SATA cable to mount the drive so I have it just sitting in the box without mounting it. The video quality was an improvement from my previous system using the same cameras. There is an app you can use for remote viewing but it would be better if you could use a PC to connect as well. The playback for multi channel is a bit bulky as it is difficult to sync the streams if you fast forward (only the channel you have highlighted will ffwd). Not bad for the price range but some features could be better.

worked really well sadly it didn't last long buyed it in june 2021 by january 2022 it was not working anymore

Absolute garbage. The unit keeps trying to update but never actually updates so it gets stuck on a black screen. We restart it and runs for a little then tries to update and gets stuck. I even tried to manually update it and it won't take. Emailed the company and no answer. Go with another option.
