Complete 16 Channel Elite Mini Economy Security Camera Surveillance System
Review by Van Planckard on Apr 30, 2013
This is quite an extensive package and if you need some serious security camera coverage this system is good deal. We "custom fitted" this package a little to fit our specific purpose and that was also a good advantage. We upgraded the cameras, included the DVD burner, and purchased additional hard drives. I think the hard drives should work for us just fine (as far as total storage capacity is concerned) and if our total storage is sufficient, I'll be highly surprised. In addition to the 16 cameras we also make use of more than one monitor ouput that comes with the DVR. We record CIF on 30 channels and D1 on two cameras, both resolutions at 30 frames per second. We really don't have the need for audio recording or any type of audio communication with the cameras so that isn't even a concern for us. The HDMI video output is a nice feature because not only do we get high definition display on our large LCD monitor but we can also our older VGA computer monitor for an additional monitor as well. The DVR has many great features that really enhance the use of the system and contributes to making the package system what I call "total security camera coverage." I'll rate this system at five stars without any doubts!
What a great Mini Economy system. I agree with the "Economy" description but I wouldn't exactly call this a "Mini" although I understand what Security Camera King means when they say that. Sixteen cameras is a lot of cameras to keep track of so it seems a little odd to me to refer to this as a "Mini" system, but compared to its big 2U brother the 16 Channel Elite, I understand why they call it that. This is kind of like the no fuss no muss version of the 16 channel Elite system. The DVR used in this system doesn't have the capability for audio on every channel, HDMI video, nor room for a DVD burner but if you don't need those things why pay for them? The VGA video port works fine for us as well as the BNC. We had no problems with the installation of the cameras or the DVR. We did use the 1500 foot Siamese cable with connectors and power box and it worked out fine. We cut everything to length so we didn't have any excess cable lying around and we still had a little left over in the box. We don't need to record sound and here at the shop the noise level is high enough anyway it probably wouldn't do much good if we tried. Our main concern for using this system is for the sake of protecting the business in the evening hours when we are closed and it is doing a fine job of that. The security personnel also like the remote access functions so they can access the system via their smartphones when they make rounds. The CIF resolution may be a little small for some, but it works well for us. We would recommend this system to others.
Sixteen cameras are a lot of camera to keep track of, at least to me. For that reason, I can see where this system may not be for the average user because there are only two video options, VGA and BNC. Of course with today's large screen LCD 1080p display TVs and monitors this helps, as long as they still include a VGA connection. Although there are no options for spot monitors or video matrixing (something that I think would come in very handy for a 16 camera system) the DVR allows you to display from all 16 cameras at once to lower combinations while still recording all 16 channels. I realize that the DVR will record at D1 resolution but that is at a drastically reduced rate of 7 frames per second which in many ways, defeats my purpose for recording video. So for me, the D1 option here is very useful. This unit does not do audio recording or monitoring either so if you need that, it won't work for you. The features under the "Description" tab is incorrect also in that it shows an Icon with a 3 year warranty but the Elite only comes with a 1 year warranty on the DVR. Back up options are limited on this DVR to FTP (if you have that ability) directly to a PC or to a USB device (like a thumb drive). That isn't much of an issue though if you own a personal computer with a CD or DVD burner because you can transfer your files from the DVR to the computer via USB thumb drives for example, and burn the DVD using your computer's burner. The DVR's On Screen Display or Graphical User Interface is fairly intuitive to use, but it does take a while to get familiar with where everything is at. It's nice to see that the DVR comes with its own USB mouse and remote control. To me, the most impressive feature of the DVR at this price is the Internet remote access and e-mail notifications. You can access your system from just about anywhere as long as you have a smartphone and Internet coverage. The cameras are ok; they produce a good quality 600 TVL resolution video picture. They all are the same and have a fixed 3.6mm wide angle lens so you may want to consider upgrading or customizing if you need varifocal lens application.

Review by Ted Lawson, Ted's Thrift Stores on Feb 20, 2013
Great system, especially if you add a few upgrades. I own two stores and this is my second system that I have purchased. I didn't bother to write a review the first time around but I figure after two purchases and installations and no problems, the product was worthy of a positive review. One of the nicest features about a Security Camera King 16 Channel Elite system, is that all the cameras don't have to be 600 TVL fixed lens dome cameras. Not that there is anything wrong with that if it works for you, but I'm betting that if you use a 16 or more camera system, you'll want a couple of special use cameras in there somewhere, at least some with varifocal lenses. To me the benefit of the Security Camera King Complete 16 channel Elite Mini Economy System is that you sacrifice case size for internal storage at a savings rate of almost $500 over the "full size" Elite system. Although recording an event is important, we use our system more for monitoring than recording so we really don't have the need for the extra internal storage that is lacking in the "Mini." Furthermore, the way we have set up our cameras, the CIF resolution is adequate enough for our needs. Granted, the D1 is much larger overall, but then again, that really only comes into play for recording and we haven't had to rely heavily on recorded events as much as we have just simply identifying them when they occur. I am satisfied with the VGA and BNC outputs as well; I don't really need the HDMI as we don't record any sound and the 1080p potential for the monitor isn't really important. I can say the DVR works great (as well as the cameras) and it seems to handle the work load without any difficulty. I really like the remote access feature using the Internet and that has been another big selling point for me. I installed both systems in both of my stores. Back about a year and a half ago when I only had my first store, I had to contact Security Camera King support for help with installing the system (more like setting it up). They were very helpful and courteous so I have no doubts about quality performance and support for the product.

Review by Terry Bartlett on Feb 08, 2013
I've owned the Security Camera King Complete 16 Channel Elite Mini Economy Security Camera Surveillance System for almost 6 months now. I thought I would wait a while before I commented on my review and I also was returning to make another purchase today so I thought I would also take the time to write my review. I manage my own independent hobby and crafts store and installed the security camera system mainly for the purpose of hoping to prevent shop lifting and documenting it when it does occur. I also have a camera at the cashier's counter to monitor our transactions and be available in case there are ever any problems up there. I keep the DVR in the back office and after today's order it will be stored in a mounted Security Camera King lockbox to prevent any of the employees from accessing it. I installed the system myself and saved myself approximately $5,000. I got a few estimates from some local installation companies and decided that I would try to install the system myself. The funny thing about it is, and no offense to Security Camera King or other professional security camera installers, but that was probably the easiest part to do, was installing. Anyway, I got all the cameras mounted aimed and set and then set up the entire system on the DVR. I borrowed the LCD VGA monitor from my desk computer to set the system up because I also connected the DVR to the Internet and it has the capability of being remotely accessed from Internet devices like computers, smartphones, and tablets. Everything works great and continues to work great. The only problem I have had is that some of the employees have apparently pushed the buttons on the front of the DVR so to prevent that it is going in a lockbox. This is a nice system and a nice package deal. The best thing about it is that you can save $500 off the price of the full size Elite unit. The worst thing about it for me is that the CIF resolution is ok, but now that I have seen the difference between CIF and D1 I think I would rather own a D1 real-time recorder.

Review by Holmes, Mike (Ohio) on Jan 24, 2013
I own a fairly large bar that features many different rock and roll bands. Needless to say, we are pretty popular her in the metro area and usually have a jam packed house every night on the weekend. On occasion we get a "not so great" occurrence wither outside in the parking lot, around the back of the club, or even inside. Keeping this in mind and the increase in local merchant after-hours break ins, I decided to purchase the Security Camera King 16 Channel Elite Mini Economy Security Camera Surveillance System. I went with the "Mini Economy" because I didn't want to spend a tremendous amount of money and recording audio isn't an issue for me (especially inside with the loud band music) nor did I need a bunch of monitors. At first, I was going to put the monitor in my office, but then I thought it would be better at the bar where the employees could keep an eye on it. That wouldn't work because it would be broken or splashed upon too many times. So then I decided to mount in at the bar, up in the air where no one could touch it but where both the employees and the customers could see it. Now that it is there, I think it has actually cut down some of the rowdiness. As you can tell by now I installed the system myself and it only took a couple of days. The only pain in the butt was running back and forth to the cameras during set up to fine tune the aiming adjustments. (I understand the pros use portable monitors for that.) Everything works great now and the video monitoring and recording pictures are very clear and sharp. After about 4 weeks, I also added another BNC monitor and put that in my office...lol. I've got a personal computer and plenty of USB thumb drives so if I ever need a DVD of some footage I can use them both to make them. I'm very satisfied with my system!
I'm the maintenance supervisor for a major law firm. Recently, a former client (who, after being released from incarceration and on probation) decided to spray paint two of our attorneys cars in our parking lot. I mean he really did some major damage by the time it was discovered. Afterwards, the members decided that they would purchase a security and surveillance system and asked me for advice and if I could install it. I friend of mine has a Security Camera System that he likes so I made the suggestion we check you out. They decided on the Security Camera King Complete 16 Channel Elite Mini Economy Security Camera Surveillance System. They wanted a camera for every office, entryway, and complete coverage of the parking area. We also purchased the DVR with 3 Terabytes of hard drive storage. The system was easy to install, with the exception of not having a portable monitor. (Each time I mounted a camera, I had to hook up the wires to it, the DVR, and the power supply, then go back and forth between the camera and DVR to adjust the camera. I didn't realize Security Camera King had a relatively cheap portable LCD wrist monitor that I could use for this purpose.) The 3 Terabytes of storage is adequate enough for us, it gives us about 2 weeks of recordings of all 16 cameras working continuously before we have to overwrite the drive again. The attorneys seem very happy with it. I set up the DVR and main monitor in my office and each attorney can access it using their smartphone. I've got to give this one 5 stars because it was a perfect fit for us and it performs very well!
I've owned the Security Camera King Complete 16 Channel Elite Mini Economy Security Camera Surveillance System for about 2 years now. I have no complaints at all and really enjoy the system. I recently returned to upgrade the cameras on my system because when I purchased my original system the cameras were only 420 TVL resolution cameras, not bad but certainly not as good as 700 TVL. So I have upgraded all of my older cameras to 700 TVL cameras and in addition, I have replaced my hard drive with a much higher capacity hard drive. I use this system to protect my business and not my home and in the past two years have been able to successfully record 6 different attacks of vandalism to my property and one attempted break in. (Boy was the guy surprised when the police caught him, since he didn't get in I think he thought he would get away with it). Anyway, my hat goes off to Security Camera King for automatically upgrading the cameras now to the 600 TVL model, I'm sure they are much better. This is a great system if you need more than 8 channels (preferably the full 16) but can't afford to pay the price of larger more elaborate systems. If you install the system yourself, depending on your location, you could save up to a few thousand dollars more.

Review by Davin Douglas on Dec 27, 2012
Unlike many of your patrons of the Security Camera King complete 16 channel Elite mini economy security camera surveillance system I am not a store or business owner. In fact I purchased this package system for my home. I have use for just about all 16 cameras for the exterior of my home, the perimeter of my property, my front gate and garage, as well as inside my house. The 16 channel Elite mini is an economical solution to possessing a 16 channel system without paying several thousand dollars for it. I don't need a lot of fancy stuff on my system but I do need the camera coverage. I found the system relatively easy to install (I had a couple of challenging cable runs but that was my situation not the package's fault). Once installed I must admit it was a bit tedious for me to run around to 16 cameras to adjust them and get them set correctly but it wasn't a daunting task. The DVR works well, and it was relatively easy to set up as well. Once I got used to the menu system of the OSD things went quickly. I don't need a tremendous amount of storage like you may find attainable on the full size Elite version so this ones suits me perfectly. Unlike my personal computer, I haven't had one crash or reboot problem yet and everything is running smoothly. I've recommended the exact same package to my neighbor.

Review by R. Timmons, Around The Corner Store on Dec 13, 2012
It's nice to have a security camera system. It may not always prevent theft or vandalism but it sure does deter a good bit of it. It's ironic -- the only way you know if your security camera system is working to prevent theft is if nothing happens! I'm sure that there some of your customers that use this system our residential and therefore the price is very economical for them. Likewise, I'm also sure that many to most of your customers for a 16 channel system are commercial or industrial and the price is very economical for them as well. I like this system because it is complete, has all 16 cameras, and the DVR does an excellent job at recording a high quality video and it doesn't cost two thousand dollars or more even if you mad out the storage capacity of the hard drive. The DVR records 30 frames per second CIF (352 by 240 pixel) resolution size video and that is satisfactory for my needs as is the 600 TVL resolution cameras. This mini economy version of the Elite DVR only has two video outputs, VGA and BNC, but that is actually good enough. Most TV/Monitors today have inputs for VGA and if not you can always find a VGA monitor to purchase at a reduced price. You can playback all 16 channels on your DVR all at the same time too, so if you choose to do that, you may want to consider a monitor that is fairly large. The DVR can be connected to a broadband Internet connection using and Ethernet CAT5 cable. Once connected you can download free apps from Security Camera King to use your computer or smartphone to remotely access your system and view your cameras --talk about convenience! I am very happy with my system and would gladly recommend it to others.
