THE MARS HOME SERIES MH-4140

For this kit KGUARD has used a brand new network video recorder model made out of hard plastic and measuring 208mm in width, 193mm in length and 90mm in height.

At the top we see the company logo along with two perforated sections and the 2D barcode (QR) right next to the user name and password used to access the NVR.

Two activity LEDs are placed at the front of the device right next to a USB 2.0 port and the IR receiver.

At the rear of the device we find the VGA and HDMI video outputs, USB 2.0 port, WAN port, 4 Ethernet ports and the DC in.

The NVR can also be positioned vertically with the help of the bundled stand.

You can open the housing by removing the 3 screws at the rear and as you can see there's room inside for either a 3.5" or an 2.5" HDD.

Both the remote control and the mouse are nothing special yet they are ok for the task of controlling the basic functions of the NVR.

As mentioned earlier the MH-4140 kit features two IP camera models, the ICB-100 and ICB-200.

The ICB-200 models can record 720p HD video with a horizontal viewing angle of 45 degrees, have a night vision LED range of up to 30m and connectivity-wise they just have an RJ45 Ethernet port and an DC in (power from the Ethernet port is valid up to 30m maximum, after that it will need to be powered externally).

On the other hand the ICB-100 models can also record 720p HD video but their horizontal viewing angle is set at 75 degrees, have a night vision LED range of up to 20m and connectivity-wise they have an Ethernet RJ45 port, DC power in and a microphone.

Both models weigh 420g and feature IP66 certified aluminum housings which fully protect the interior components against dust and water.
