Price : Too low to display
The answer to expensive, outdated, analog CCTV surveillance systems has arrived. When coupled with D-Link or other compatible network cameras, the DNS-726-4 Network Video Recorder (NVR) offers a comprehensive video display, storage, and management solution. The DNS-726-4 provides reliable high-quality remote monitoring functionality at a fraction of the cost of conventional surveillance systems.

Good but lacking for the Price . The D-Link DNS-726-4 is a Network Video Recorder for Security systems. This NVR is suitable for small business and home security needs and has some good features. In fact it meets all of the needs of most users but falls short in several areas. With a top storage capacity of only 3 TB and 4CH of video you run out of storage space after 7 days, this might be OK for a small business that is open 5 days a week but not for a home system that might need to continue surveillance for a 2 week vacation. This unit needs 4 bays with a 2TB each capacity. Then there is the D1 video limitation, with megapixel IP cameras becoming available on the market I would have thought D-Link would have gone with a higher resolution. D1 is 720X480 (480i), while this is OK for general surveillance, facial recognition and/or License plate capture requires at least 1 megapixel, which is 1280X720 (720P) resolution. There are many 8ch 1 megapixel NVR's hitting the market for this price point, and 1.3 megapixel IP cameras can be had for less than $200. I see no point in restricting myself to a 4ch D1 NVR when for the same price I can get a 720P HD 8ch one with much better video clarity.
