I used to work as an Operation Manager for a CCTV project with a Korean boss. I can say that I've learned a lot in terms of how their system work when it comes to CCTV installation. But since their device is quite expensive and our local client cannot afford that high price and it requires some skills in order to view it online, I was able to find ways to resolve this issue. DVR from China is my solution because of its cheap price and plug and play features.
There were 3 types of DVR, N_eye, Xmye and Nvsip. All of them are compatible with any internet provider since all you need is its device id and a dedicated apps for smartphone and PC software. :
Please see guidelines below:
1. You will be asked to scan its QR code in order to download apps either your using IOS or Android.
2. You can download QR scanner from iTunes or Play store in order to proceed.
3. Once your finished installing the apps, you have the option to scan device id instead of typing it manually then save.
4. Open the apps and select the DVR id and view your CCTV at home or office where ever you go as long as you have internet. I tried it with mobile data using 3G signal and it works well. Higher signal is recommended but not required.
5. All 3 DVR have the same procedure of installation but they use different apps.
For PC Software here is how:
1. Download software from the DVR server(see manual for the website).
2. Install application with admin access.
3. You will be asked to type device id and then save.
4. Run the application and double click the DVR name on the upper left corner.
5. All camera list will appear once connected. If nothing happens, it means DVR is offline. Make sure DVR status is connected or online.
6. You can choose how many camera you wish to view from your screen.
I hope the above instruction will be helpful to those who are planning to try China made DVR. Please also note that before buying it, make sure your hard disk is compatible since this is a common issue.
I've watched video from youtube comparing 3 kinds of cloned Samsung S8 VS the original one. The latest version of clone was priced at $99 USD only compared to $800. It shows in the video that even antutu benchmark apps was showing higher specs of the cloned device which is too good to be true. The only way to check with antutu is the device score or rating. Usually, its getting only 24,000+ compare to the real Samsung S8 with 125,000 score. Physically, the real one is much thinner but larger in size. I got nothing against clone and original but from my point of view, cheap or expensive items will always have a knock-off.
