 Better than expectedJun 03, 2010
By Mark M. Tanner
I read the reviews for this card on this site and other sites. I wasn't anticipating good results but I want the high FPS rating.
Well I am very impressed. My previous card only had 30FPS total for 4 cameras. This card has 30 FPS for EACH camera. It installed prefectly. No Problems at all. The video is great. No jumping. Color is good and night vision is good. It is very well worth the money.
I highly recommend this card.

 Hardware Good, Software HorribleMar 01, 2010

Software sucks, constant interference trips software motion detection. Customer service is a joke. I got a quick response when e-mailed, It was infuriating it was like talking to a robot with bad English! I could get the remote monitoring working in IE8 in Windows 7 with problems, but works better in XP running IE8. I have an HTC Touch PRO (with a stock rom) the windows mobile software is incompatible I'm assuming because of the VGA screen, It might run on a QVGA screen I dont't know for sure (I Wouldn't be surprised if it didn't). The remote monitoring software works fine on an iphone. There is an unsupported (independent) app available for the android, but it crashes the SERVER every time you run the program. Bottom line this product works good for the money. But don't plan on doing any cell phone monitoring unless you have an iphone. Don't buy this unless you have set up a DVR before, and know your computers. Don't plan on contacting customer support. Well you can contact them but don't plan on it doing you any good. The product says the remote viewing software works with Windows Mobile Pro 6.1, which is the OS my phone runs. I'll include a copy of my mind numbing conversation with Q-SEE.
(ME) - I bought this card to be able to monitor my dvr from my cell phone. The software than installs on my phone does not run properly. It does not display correctly. I have an HTC Touch Pro. I'm sure there are other people having this problem as well. Thank you
(Q-SEE) - Is your phone running windows mobile pro 6.5? If so you are correct there probably many others having the same problem. The card will work with mobile pro 6.1 but the factory is still working on revisions that will allow the card to work with the changes that microsoft made in 6.5. They have not given us a time frame yet for these revisions.
(ME) - No i am running 6.1 I think its because I have a vga screen and the software is native to a qvga
(Q-SEE) - Yes you are correct, you need to change the screen resolution. So is it working now ?
(ME) - Any suggestions on how to change the screen resolution on a Windows Mobile Smartphone Running windows mobile 6.1?
(Q-SEE) - need to know exact make and model of your Phone.To my knowledge, there are no settings to change vga on the phones. On my HTC Mogul running 6.1 there are no settings.
(ME) - Sprint's HTC Touch Pro Win Mo Pro 6.1
... It's been over seven business day's and I've had no response... The software version was 6.3.1.1.
Good Luck

 CompatiblyMar 09, 2011

Q-See, like many manufactures today, are unwilling to correct issues that arise from the use of their older products. I bring this to everyone's attention so one may avoid another one of life's little inconveniences. Their site claims that a person can expand a QSPDVR04 to an eight-channel system by adding another QSPDVR04, a card of the identical model. After locating such a card at a slightly higher dollar amount than the original card, due to it's out of production status, I find that the upgrade is not possible, nada, no way, will not happen. What they should add to their compatibility information on their web site is the ROM version on the same model card must also be compatible. The sales and technical group offered me this simple resolution; I am welcome to purchase a newer model to replace the incompatible units. Does anyone think that event will take place? I decided to purchase USS808 8 Channel CH Security Surveillance Digital Video Recorder DVR Pc PCI Card;at least this company does not purport to support their products.
3/16/11- I recently replaced the Q-See DVR card with the USS808 unit. The new card offers a much smoother installation than Q-See with more options for less $'s. I will update this review if an unexpected issue crops up.

software needs workApr 13, 2010
By Joe
Updated 5/1/2012:
Good card, but the software is terrible...
1. Software hasn't been updated since August, 2010. Is this card still supported by Q-See? Sure doesn't seem like it.
2. Auto reboot doesn't always work, sometimes leaving the box hung to where you can't even remote into it.
3. Motion detection sensitivity doesn't work when camera goes into nighttime mode/infrared.
4. caption setting doesn't work in the activex control - doesn't turn off.
5. UI is not very intuitive.
6. Don't plan on easily using your local machine as an smtp server... the software has validation in the text box and only accepts names like smtp.????.???.
7 There's other issues. I've reported to Q-See, but obviously they don't plan on any more software updates.
All in all I can view the camera remotely and the motion detection works ok... the speed setting doesn't work very well either as it will snap the picture too fast, so you'll maybe get an arm that is coming into the picture. If the auto reboot worked all the time, I would up it to two stars.
Does it's job, but ?Jan 01, 2011

The card fits into a PC slot and has no adjustments. It requires a PC with some horsepower. Two of my older PC's could not run it. The only PC that came close was my HP Pavilion 762, found out my video card was failing. Had to buy a replacement, Radeon 9000 AGP with 256mb memory.
Once the hardware was stable, then the software was installed. It does run, but is not easy to work with. You have to dig thru the screens to find the correct adjustments. The screens do not allow for moving them, where they land is where the stay, top left corner. When a camera triggers a motion record, the map with the camera symbol over lays the image, so you cannot see the image during the record. The map is on top flashing yellow. Loading your own map is also painful, you have to be in the edit screen which is buried within the alarm screen, which is the fifth screen within the config screen. Also, found the system resolution is capable of 640 X 480 but the motion record only works at the lower resolution of 320 X 240. I am still trying to get the internet feed working, so I can review remotely, appears to be my router. In reviewing their website, I do not find a stronger more robust version of this software for purchase, nor do I find a update.
