This is a very competitively priced security DVR and there is a reason for that, it is stripped down to only the very fundamental features.  The unit ships without a hard drive and an underpowered AC adapter.  Once set up, the unit is capable of high quality H.264 recording of up to 4 cameras, one with audio.  H.264 is the best possible choice for video codecs.  The problem begins with configuring the unit.  The remote control is limited and confusing.  A mouse needs to be connected to do anything more useful.  There is no sensible “rewind” built into the remote control.  The playback search feature is barely functional.  There is no way to manually delete a particular recording from the list.  Audio / Video sync problems are present on long playback of recordings from a camera with a microphone. 
 +
 +
Some positive points to this product include the ability to remotely program it from a web browser.  It is also possible to monitor live camera feed over a network connection from within MSIE, with camera audio.  Timer record configuration and audio monitoring is only possible using Microsoft Internet Explorer on a PC.  Only basic viewing of camera video can be done from other browsers or mobile apps (Android and iPhone.)
 +
 +
Due to the unrefined nature of this Chinese product, which seems as though the software just was never “finished,” as well as it being shipped with an underpowered AC adapter, it is difficult to recommend purchasing it.  Unless you are really limited in budget, spend more money and get a finished DVR product.

The Vonnic DVR (DVR-C1104SEFD) is a Standalone CCTV DVR System. As a Standalone, Surveillance DVR System it requires no additional computer and can operate headless. This particular model can use a VGA computer display, or any television or video monitor with a simple composite connection as a display. It can also operate without a display, and be controlled via remote network connection. The local display will only be necessary during setup.

Review

15star.png This is a very competitively priced security DVR and there is a reason for that, it is stripped down to only the very fundamental features. The unit ships without a hard drive and an underpowered AC adapter. Once set up, the unit is capable of high quality H.264 recording of up to 4 cameras, one with audio. H.264 is the best possible choice for video codecs. The problem begins with configuring the unit. The remote control is limited and confusing. A mouse needs to be connected to do anything more useful. There is no sensible “rewind” built into the remote control. The playback search feature is barely functional. There is no way to manually delete a particular recording from the list. Audio / Video sync problems are present on long playback of recordings from a camera with a microphone.

Some positive points to this product include the ability to remotely program it from a web browser. It is also possible to monitor live camera feed over a network connection from within MSIE, with camera audio. Timer record configuration and audio monitoring is only possible using Microsoft Internet Explorer on a PC. Only basic viewing of camera video can be done from other browsers or mobile apps (Android and iPhone.)

Due to the unrefined nature of this Chinese product, which seems as though the software just was never “finished,” as well as it being shipped with an underpowered AC adapter, it is difficult to recommend purchasing it. Unless you are really limited in budget, spend more money and get a finished DVR product.

hard drive installation

The unit is not typically sold with a hard drive. The customer has to obtain a hard drive and install it. The manufacturer recommends using a SATA drive at least 500gb in size or larger. The illustration shows the unit with the hard drive installed.

There are four screw holes on the bottom of the unit case that should be used to secure the hard drive in place. The holes match with those on the bottom of a 3.5" SATA PC hard drive mounting receivers.

Hacking

This device is a CCTV DVR that is designed for that purpose. Although it can be used for other purposes, there are likely better alternatives for those other purposes. There are actually better alternatives for the purpose of being a CCTV DVR also, however, that is discussed in the review. If you have one of these Vonnic units laying around, and you like to tinker, then by all means see what hacking you can do with this little Linux based embedded solid state system.

Unsupported by the Manufacturer Uses - There are things that you can do with the Vonnic DVR-C1104SEFD which are beyond the manufacturer intended functionality. Two possible uses of interest to hackers are:

Product Support

Troubleshoot

Problem: System will not detect my standard SATA 3.5" hard drive.

Solution 1: The system often ships with an underpowered AC adapter. Often, it ships with the model MT20-21120-A00F which fails to provide enough amps for the hard drive. The drive will fail to spin up so it will not be detected by the unit. 750mA is not enough. Substitute another 12v power supply of the correct connector type 2.5 x 5.5 x 9.5 mm positive tip. Recommend using a power supply around 2 amps or more.

MT20-21120-A00F.png
Illustration: Model MT20-21120-A00F AC Adapter.

Solution 2: The manufacturer recommends Seagate SATA drives of 500GB or larger. It is known to work with the Western Digital WD6400AAKS drive as long as a large enough AC adapter is used. Make sure you are using a known to be functional SATA drive. The system may not detect the drive if the drive is defective. A defective drive or incompatible drive will not be detected. Another possible cause is a faulty SATA controller on the DVR, which means the DVR would need to be serviced or replaced.

Problem: No audio on system monitor. Audio not captured.

Solution 1: There is a single audio input, so only one camera with a microphone may be used, other cameras are video only. Audio is disabled by default. Open the menu:

  • Menu -> Encode

There are two columns of options in this menu. At the bottom, the last row is labeled "Video/Audio". Check both boxes in the row. It is confusing that it appears there are 4 boxes and 2 are checked. Two of the boxes are not functional, they are graphic representations of a checked box. If all boxes are checked in the last row, audio will be enabled.

Secondly, on the camera view of the main display there is a speaker symbol with a red line though it. Click the symbol, in the bottom left of the camera view, to unmute the volume. It is set to mute by default.

Finally, ensure that all audio connections in back are correct. There is one RCA type mono audio in connector for the camera and one out for running to the monitor.

Manufacturer Responses

Q: How do I enable audio monitoring for my camera with a microphone?

A: To enable the audio for your DVR unit please make sure you enable the audio under the Encode section in the Main Menu/Setup. Once that is done on the lower left hand corner of each channel there is an speaker icon, click on that icon to enable the audio.

Q: How do I unmute the audio using only the provided remote control?

A: Only with mouse.

Q: How do I delete individual recordings without waiting for it to auto delete or reformatting?

A: Will need to format or overwrite.

Q: Given that it based on a tiny linux kernel, is there a way to remotely access the machine by SSH or telnet?

A: There maybe be a way but we do not have that info.

Q: Can I remotely access it via CIFS as a Windows share, or FTP?
