I have viewed it on a laptop but was connected to my network and the quality was not that bad

It depends on your needs. I've been using mine with Android for almost a year. When viewing the cameras over the Internet, the picture is not smooth -- I probably get less than one frame per second. It's fine for checking in to see what's going on at the house, but if you're expecting to see something like a streaming HD movie, then you'll be disappointed.

Hi, I installed this system about 2 weeks ago. It's great but no, you can only view the live stream from an iPhone. To review recorded footage, you will need to do it on the DVR connected to a tv/monitor. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I can't offer any feedback, but I found it funny that someone else is having the same dilemna with the same 2 cameras. So I will also be intersted in hearing any input as well. Is the video capability really worth it?

Hi Scott, Well, after installing several of the cameras, I have found the picture quality lacking in general. I installed with both the cables they supplied as well as serpentine POC coaxial cable in some areas rather than what they supplied due to distances I needed to run lines, and both are not good pictures. These are being used in a church environment, and we have a lot of interference from wireless devices and networks, so possibly affecting things here. May be a component/driver strength issue or an interference issue...not sure If using for home/smaller office, it may perform better. As for our environment, I am migrating to network based POE box cameras since DVR's have just not worked that well, and we've had numerous. I have had to replace them pretty much annually...hard drive crashes, firmware problems, power/fan problems, etc. Have only had this one a few months, so no problems thus far. Long range costs are just not worth replacing DVRs so often for our purposes any more. Sorry don't have better answer for your specific question.

Yes, if you can download "SuperLive Pro" app on your iphone. And, of course, your Q-See DVR needs to be online.

The Android app is pretty bad. Although it works at times, using the Android app is frustrating to say the least. After the last update, our preset scenes would only appear 25% of the time leaving us to manual controls the other times. Android seems to be the redheaded step child as the iOS side has been flawless for us and the updates on the iOS are promptly pushed out.

David, you can only view recorded clips through a pc, the app only allows you to view Live footage. I would also recommend the NC-229 HD 1080P, I have both and the 1080P seems to have a better mic and much better night vision.

Can you post your impression of image quality, movie quality and gps accuracy?I'm very curious on time for gps lock and if you have another source to compare it to for accuracy.

I have it set up and love it! I got the app on my iPhone free and I can live stream any time-- and record with no subscription. I like the motion detection notification because in the email it sends you 2 photographs. I hope this helps!

I do apologize for the inconvenience but it seem like the dash cam is not functioning correctly. I recommend sending the unit back to us by logging into your Amazon account and requesting an exchange for a new DVR 207.

It depends on the DVR system your using and not the camera. If you have this camera you would need a DVR recorder with capable iPhone app. I use a defender DVR with the ASee app and mine works great. Your probably looking for a complete system.

My first DVR from Security Man worked great for about 3 months. Then, nothing. Would not playback, erase, nothing. I purchased anouther one due to the price, it has been working great for about 2 months. I'm selling the house now, I hope it lasts til closing.

I still havent figured out how to work it, although other brands are working this one remains a mystery maybe someone should do a yoooouuutubbbeee and help us out...You said recorded right you need a dvr

Absolutely not. Q-See has software for Android and iPhone that can be downloaded from the app-store or GooglePlay so you can view your live footage as well as recording from the application. You can even change settings remotely and save them back to the system. Of course all of this is only possible if your system is connected to your internal network. you will however initially need a monitor to set up the DVR and after that you do not need a keyboard, mouse or monitor.

The night vision is very good. As far as the playback, I haven't tried that yet. We had to send back the original DVR because one of the channels didn't work. We just got the new one back. Hope that helps!

I was JUST reading through some of the reviews and one of the folks seemed to list this exact problem - though they were using a Tivo. It seems too similar an issue to be an anomaly: sadly the reviewer determined that after unplugging the drive and starting his DVR back up again, all of the problems vanished, leading him to the conclusion that it was the drive and NOT the DVR. Your best bet is to do the same - remove the drive and see if the DVR functions normally. If so, then you know the drive is faulty. Good luck!
