I saw a low product review here because the buyer says you MUST use the Google Chrome web browser to access the UI. Is this true??

No, you do not have to use the Google Chrome browser, but AirVision will warn you that Chrome is the better browser as some features might not work properly in other browsers. Therefore Google Chrome is the recommended browser but not a MUST use.

With the new GUI, it is now required. You can access it with FF, but the streams don't work right- or at all depending on settings and version. Chrome, on the hand, works perfectly. I wouldn't let the need for chrome deter your interest in this NVR- they really work awesome!

The products is improving every new software release, the web interfase is intuitive, and the hardware is stable. The current release have some issue with zafari web browser and https comection

While the UI does show a popup indicating Google Chrome is the recommended browser, you are not required to use it. I personally use Firefox on the latest AirVision firmware with no issues other than the annoying popup first thing saying Chrome is recommended.

Hi Egana you would need to read the features of the device (i.e the compactibility devices) however if your Chrome is wifi enabled then you should be able to use it..hope this helps

I bought mine on ebay, for a reduced price. It was new, but for me still a waste of money. I have not been able to use it, as the bottom of the UI screen ends up below my physical screen, and there is no scroll bar to remedy this, at least not in my version, I have Quickbooks Accountant 2013. I tried for a long time to fix this, and though it was I who was doing something wrong, until I finally found several reports on Google regarding the same issue! No scroll bars, so I cannot scroll down to the bottom of the screen, where there are buttons that I need to use. So for me at least, this is a white elephant. You may want to research this before buying, or buy a different version. I would check a different version too first, to make sure this bug/issue is not there as well.

It's tiny and has a learning/adapt curve to it. The system settings are already set high, and still tiny. The problem i have is hitting the tiny tab x in chrome browser. You can scale up the browsers settings but you lose the default website integrity.

No it doesn't, also be aware it doesn't run a OS like win or mac. Chrome isn't compatible with a lot of programs I found out after the fact

Chrome OS is amazing but I heard it is free from Google. Then why the hell should I be paying $449 for a LCD screen and a Key board. It is damn expensive. I would pay around $110 for that piece and another $49 for Chrome OS. (As I will have to pay for Apps Separately). I know that the concept is different but apart from an Online source for your data, This product doesn't make any sense for $449 when you can get a new Win-7 laptop for $299.

Yes, it has a web interface. I find the Easy Config utility UI to be much better.

This comes with an Android browser. Because this is an open source product you can install many other apps and browsers to help you personalize your experience

It comes with a driver for linux. Chrome-books are linux based but may not allow installation of drivers. You need to find someone that owns one and has tried it.

It does not have a web browser, as far as I know, but it gives you "one-click" access to Netflix, m-go, and amazon. I never read directions so it may just have a web browser but I am 95% sure it does not.

Agree it's not a full full web browser. And i dont see option to install other browser.

Yes, but my first step is to always install chrome from the play store. Matter of preference though.

yes you will be able to do that. The browser isnt actually half bad for a built in tv web browser. That being said it is still browsing the internet without a dedicated keyboard and the magic remote. Meaning you will have to point at each and every letter when you type in the web page. A little annoying and time consuming but like I said one of the better built in tv browsers.

Not sure if you mean if you can access the internet? Yes you can. It comes with a generic browser which works just fine and you can download others like chrome, safari, or opera from the google play store.

It's a Chromebox. It comes with Google's Chrome OS. I suggest more research on your part before you purchase.
