Question 1

How dose this record can it be played back through a computer or can u put a hard drive in it?

Accepted Answer

You need to buy a separate hard drive for it to record to, which will need to be installed inside the DVR unit. The hard drive needs to be a SATA interface and run at 7200 rpm. The larger the hard drive you put in there, more recording time you will have available before it starts erasing older footage.

The manufacturer also created an app to use in conjunction with the security system that will allow you to remotely view the live feed as well as playback/record directly on your mobile device.

Question 2

Can I order Longer cables for the camera systems?

Accepted Answer

The system I ordered only came with 60 feet of cable for each camera and my Florida home, where the system is installed is longer than 60 feet end to end. So I have the same problem. When I checked this issue out the web site it shows a roll of cable the are not ready to use unless you are handy and can install the connectors yourself. Therefore, this seems to defeat the do-it-yourself feature if your are not handy. PS: If you did not purchase your unit a hard drive, you best bet is to speak to tech support first so that they can tell you which Hard Drive to purchase as I went through three (3) HD before realizing that there was limitations on which hard drive I could use. I purchase a 3TB SATA, 2TB SATA and after speaking with tech support I was informed that I need to use a Maximum 2TB l or ll nothing higher @ 7200 rpm, 32 cache. Imagine my surprise.

Question 3

Does it have streaming audio support?

Accepted Answer

I bought this for a gift and have not looked at everything yet.  Will be able to give a review after we set it up.

Question 4

What is the recording resolution and how many images per second will it record?

Accepted Answer

600 TV Lines.  This is an analog system and 600 TV lines is good as far as analog security cameras go. Note that even "720P" video is 1280 lines so this is roughly 1/2 of that. The cameras say they record at 120 frames per second but they don't look like that to me.  I would say its usually more like 30 fps
