Qsee Mix 4K NVR Kit, Hestia 2MP + 3T Review

This kit mixes two kinds of Qsee (formerly Q-See, relaunched in 2023) camera in one box: a wired 8-channel PoE NVR system with a built-in 2TB drive and four 5MP IP cameras, plus two basic Wi-Fi pan-tilt cameras, a Hestia 2MP and a Hestia 3T. The store lists it at $589.99 as of 18 October 2026, with a crossed-out price of $609.99.

The wired part

The recorder is the QP08045YC: 8 channels, eight 10/100 Mbps PoE ports (IEEE 802.3af/at), one SATA bay for disks of up to 10 TB, H.265/H.264 recording up to 3840×2160 and a 48V/2A supply. The four IP cameras use a 5MP 1/2.7-inch sensor recording 2880×1620 at 25 fps with a fixed 3.6 mm lens and two 3500K warm LEDs; the spec table gives a night range of 20 m, while the marketing copy says up to 82 feet. Housings are aluminum with an IP67 rating, and each camera has a built-in microphone and runs from PoE or a 12V/2A adapter.

The two Wi-Fi cameras

The Hestia (2MP) records 1080p video, pans 355° and tilts 75° with motion tracking and two-way talk. The Hestia 3T is a 3MP indoor camera (2304×1296) that pans 355° and tilts 35°, with eight invisible IR LEDs and a call button. Both join 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, record to a microSD card of up to 128 GB (sold separately) or to Qsee cloud, and are set up in the Qsee Smart Home app. See the Hestia 2MP review for the single-camera details.

A title that doesn't match the spec table

The product title calls both cameras '1080P PT' Wi-Fi cameras, but the page's spec table lists the Hestia 3T as a 3MP camera with a maximum of 2304×1296. The page also doesn't say whether the NVR can record the Hestia cameras; its storage text describes a microSD card or Qsee cloud for them, so treat them as separate from the recorder until Qsee confirms otherwise.

How it compares with the rest of the range

At $589.99 this kit costs the same as the 4K bullet kit, so the choice is four 8MP cameras or four 5MP cameras plus two basic indoor Wi-Fi cameras. The Hestia 3T and 4T kit costs $10 more and swaps the 2MP camera for the 4MP, dual-band Hestia 4T.

Before you buy

Qsee Technology is a California company founded in 2022 that bought the Q-See trademark, and it says it doesn't support old Q-See products, servers, apps or warranties. The store warns that some older Q-See models don't match its new NVRs because of ONVIF differences, so check compatibility before mixing old and new gear. This product page showed no buyer reviews on 18 October 2026, so there is nothing from buyers to cross-check the specs against. Remote viewing runs through Qsee's app, and a company notice dated 17 December 2024 says app and cloud services were disrupted while data moved to a new cloud server. Buy from Qsee's own site or its official Amazon store to keep the 2-year warranty valid, check the box against the contents list as soon as it arrives, and test every camera inside the return window.
