Economical DVR suggestions?

[JW]

What low-end/high-end DVRs have you found to be reliable with
customer-friendly applications? What manufacturers have you been
disappointed with?
Who has the best technical support?

We've used Ever-Focus and Integral (First Line) with mixed results. Looking
for something that's simple enough to allow customers to capture video on
their own when needed. (So far, Integral's 500 looks like a good solution
for high-end).

Thanks for any feedback!

Are you looking at a standalone, or PC-based system? How many cameras?

Something like this makes a decent starter PC-based system:

Genie do a 4 channel DVR around the £400 mark. I can't remember the
model of it, and its not on their website. I remember thinking it was
excellent value for money as it included ethernet and other features
you wouldn't come to expect at that price. I have sold a few of these
in the past and had very good feedback from installers. May be worth a
call to Genie??
