I just bought the Q-see (QS458) 8 channel DVR system. It works great. The cameras have a clear picture, with easy to use interface. The set up was easy to understand and configure. The Android aps for Q-See QS work great. The remote viewing also work great. If you run into any trouble, there Tech Support will work with you to resolve any issues. Q-see also offers a free DYNDNS service for remote viewing. www.myq-see.com You can down load any Q-See aps from Google Play Store.
How ever, It does not work on Google Chrom.

Special thanks to Manuel for the great customer service.

If Remote Viewing is not working.
It is possible that a port is being blocked. This sometimes happens with 80. In this case you would use a different port in the same range such as 83, 85, 89, etc. You would need to change the port in the network setup, forward the new port to the IP address of the dvr, and add the new port to the end of the IP address or URL in the browser. For example, if you use 83 instead of 80 you would add :83 to the end of the address in the browser. You can check to see if the ports are open by going to www.canyouseeme.org and verifying they are open.
After you configured your remote viewing and it does not work, Try adding :85 after your domain name.
Example
http;//example.myq-see.com
http://example.myq-see.com:85
http://example.myq-see.com:83
Step 1) Make sure you have the correct ip address.
You
only use the IP address of the DVR to access it from a computer on the
same network. To access from a remote computer you need to use a
different IP address then you use to access locally, you need to use the
public IP address of the router that the DVR is connected to.
You can get this address by going to:
You can get this address by going to:
from a computer that is connected to the same router as the DVR.
While you are on that site you can also verify that the ports you forwarded from the router to the IP address of the DVR are open.

Step 8) Log in to windows as an Administrator level, not the user level.
Step 9) Anti-Virus programs such as Norton and Kaspersky might block the ActiveX download from
the DVR; most of these internet security programs give you the option of disabling them for a
short period of time.

to view the cameras. You can download the software here

using the correct mobile app and the firmware on the DVR is up to date.
Step 13) If you are able to log into the DVR but unable to see the live feed; check your video card driver

not enabled, update the DirectX and video card drivers by updating your video drivers.
