The hardware is technically okay, you can monitor up to 4 cameras in round-robin mode (at about 2 frames per second on each camera) or 1 camera on it's own (at about 20 frames per second). The software however is very poor. In round-robin mode where you can see all 4 cameras at once only IE is supported using a rather clumsy active-x control. Firefox or other browsers work okay if you have it set on 1 camera only. There are reports that it crashes rather a lot also, I have mine plugged through a power switch timer so it restarts every day.
