This unit really was too good to be true. I wanted to use it to record 4 cameras onto my home computer. The software requires a Pentium chip to work and then works only marginally. The software seems windows 3.1 vintage at best. It crashes and cannot maintain an adequate frame rate for serving as a reliable DVR. In fact, I couldn't get it to work with 2 video sources for more than an hour. This is truly a junk product that would only work as a video quad server, but not any good for capturing and storing video. It has the features advertised but so poorly implemented and unreliable that this ended up being $200 flushed for me. I had even called Grandtec before buying and asked about the software and when they said it was the same version they had been using for years, I should have known then it would be crap. Maybe if you only want to use this to combine video sources and then put it on a video server, maybe it would be ok ... but don't think the software is going to work for you ... only the hardware is. But I think a quad combiner would be a cheaper alternite. Get and Axis 2400 instead.
