 Expensive Junk July 7, 2008

In the 14 months I have owned this system, I have had to have all 4 cameras replaced. For some reason they all quit working 1 by 1 in a single day. They had power, and the microphones worked, just no video. SVAT replaced them under warranty without a problem, but when I asked what would cause the cameras to fail, they didn't have an answer. My suspicion was a problem with the DVR. Well, 2 months out of warranty, the DVR would no longer send a video signal to either a TV or a computer through the network jack. It showed it was recording, and the computer screen controls would display, just no video. Now mind you, this DVR was on a dresser in my bedroom, and all the cameras and DVR were plugged into a surge protector. Not an environmentally hostile environment. SVAT told me the video processor was probably shot, and basically you're SOL. They did offer to sell me another DVR for $400. NO THANKS!! So now I'm off to buy a new DVR, and you can bet it won't be SVAT!!
Other problems with this system:
Camera's have a very limited viewing range, will defintely look into variable focus cameras.
Contrast is very poor if the area being monitored moves from sun to shade. Unless you constantly adjust the contrast, the video is usually too bright or too dark.
No remote for the DVR...what a pain
 Once you have a problem June 18, 2008
I purchased this item based on others reviews. Set up was simple and had in working in about 4 hours. 5 weeks after I had installed the system I got a "HDD Failure" notice on screen. I contacted SVAT and they said to reset the system and see if it restarts. I was at 56% of hard drive capacity after 4 weeks. I said this will take another 4 weeks to get to this point. So they said to return it and they would replace the unit. Now this is a MFG. defect, they don't pay the shipping back to them. YOU HAVE TO. They absolutely refused to pay the shipping of defective merchandise back for replacement. So after 2 1/2 weeks and about $30 of additional money out of MY pocket I received the replacement had plugged it back in. Now I have to re-establish internet connection, so we will see how long it lasts. In the meantime I purchased a 9 camera Q-See system from Costco for $100 more. I am going to replace the 4 camera system and sell off this SVAT for what ever I can get for it. The system is good and easy to install, the company sucks. Other companies pay shipping both ways on defective merchandise. So be aware.

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

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.
