Question: Does this record for playback viewing?
Document: The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is because there is no hookup to record for sound just video. Easy to use.My cameras have RCA plugs on them but a adapter to BNc was used and very easy to use and has many functions.
great product for those who don't want or can not afford dvr multi-plexer (those typically offer audio for the playback).
The output of the Color Quad System is feed via one Siamese RG59 coax to a video capture adaptor that plugs into a USB 2 port on a PC. The two wires on the Siamese cable control the power to the Color Quad System. This allows the system to be powered up only when needed from my computer location to view the image which always comes up as all four cameras on screen. This set up also allows you to record the images on the PC. Some one who breaks in and could get to the PC and figure out how to see the images would think that the PC is the recorder and not realize that this was not the case.
Got The Video Quad Splitter On Jan 8 2014 .Work Great. The User Manual Was A Little Fuzzy .Hook Up The Processor To My CCTV Single Camera VHS Recorder Work Good Recording 3 Camera At Once. Is Nice. Have Not Try The VCR Hook Up . But Im Sure It Will Be Nice Ad On For Back Up. Every Thing The Seller Said About The Splitter Is Sweet. Hook Up Was A Little Corn Fuse But Went Well .Took The Montor Out On The Processor And Feed The Line Into The Single Camera CCTV Recorder Use The Montor Out To View All Three Camera .Only Record One Channel At One Time .Or You Can Record Four At Once .The Side By Side And The PIP Work Great Also.
Just received this today. Reading the reviews I was somewhat skeptical, because you never know which review you can relate to. But, mine worked perfectly. Unboxed it, connected the 2 cams I needed it for and works just fine. It's annoying when people complain about quality and whatnot. You get what you pay for, it's a $40 unit - if you want HD spend some real cash. I just needed something simple to split 2-4 cams I have around my house for live constant viewing. I'm fairly electronically advanced so setting the menu, date/time was quite simple.
You Can View One Pip Or Two .The Side By Side View Is Nice .The Picture A Little Long But Good. Once You Get It Up And Running And Hook Up The Way You Like . You Should Have No Trouble Fig Out The Rest .The Remote Is Nice It Took Awhile To Fig It Out Every Thing Went Well The Zoom Works Too Good If ou Got A Good Camaera You Can Read The Plates Numbers On Your Car Nice And Clear .The Auto Sequence Is Nice For Viewing All The Camera One At A Time .The Motion Setup Is A Must And Work With What I Have Running On The Quad Splitter .
For the money, I wasn't expecting much, But Size can fool you & in this case, It Did.First, It was simple to hook up & the adapters that came with it were Great. The fact that it only supports 4 Cameras, was what was needed at the time & the choices of your Viewing Patterns are great as well. It even has controls on the remote to ZOOM in-out as you wish. and the Automatic Timed switching setting is a Plus, making it easy to see all cameras in sequence.I'll be ordering more units as budget allows.One word of advice, If your Handy with a Soldiering Iron, You might want to check fore Loose Connections inside, THIS WILL VOID your Warranty, But for the LOW Price, I'll risk it.
unit is good so far for operating video cams, but there should be better instructions as to connecting this device. other then that it's ok
You aren't paying hundreds of dollars, so don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed.
Wow, what a cheap piece of junk. Didn't even work when it came - something rattled when I shook it, so I opened it up and a coil had fallen off the circuit board. Soldered it back on myself to save time and trouble, but the device itself is awful. It overdrives the video; setting up motion detection is unbelievably cumbersome; the audible alert on motion doesn't work at all.Save your money.
Answer: NO, It connects to your RCA-Video IN, Jack, on a TV, Or VCR, But in all honesty, I have mine plugged into a 7 inch Portable TV/MONITOR, for viewing & Haven't Tried Recording by using an VCR?Digital Recorder yetBut for the LOW COST of this, It's worth the price for just viewing. Word of Caution, The Connectors are all B.N.C., You may want to invest the $5 or $6 dollars & get a 5Pk. of RCA/BNC Adapters, It's still a great Bargain.By the way, This unit has some great features like P.I.P., Auto Scrolling, ZOOM, And Take your time to learn Setting up your Camera, The Color settings are a bit tricky, Each Camera is slightly different, But once set, I got Great Picture Quality out of $25 - $50.00 Cameras. So don't let these little things put you off, They Work Great & may need an IR Spotlight source at Night only.P/S, It Voids the Warranty, But these units may Flicker from loose connections, If you Know your way around a Soldering Iron  , A Few EASY reheating of some connections, Removed all Flickering Problems. By the way, These Units & Cameras & Monitors all work on 12VDC x 500ma. In other words, You can set them up in your car, If you know how!.
