I know nothing about, just happened to see in a deal search that I do. Looks like less than half normal price. Maybe someone here who knows these better can say whether it's worth it.

Saw this yesterday and since no one commented I am going to add a few comments.

It is a good price but you will have no OEM support as you are not purchasing from an authorized reseller.

One of the comments on the Amazon review confirms what I suspect, firmware update is a problem, won't work to possibly bricking your NVR.
