So far the system works great. It did take a while to figure out why I could not see it on the IP address. The network cable connection is very badly built. Customer service was efficient and very attentive trying to help me figure out what was happening. I have had the system about a month and I am very happy

If you are the type of person who likes to save money by doing things yourself (instead of spending big bucks on pro installation), this cam system is for you. It’s easy to install and setup. The only hard part for us was configuring the router to forward to the cam system. Fortunately, they have excellent tech support. Their tech guy walked us through and made sure we were all setup properly. The quality of the cams is good, not great, but it gives us what we need to view (over the Internet) what’s going on at our place of business. We’re glad we purchased this system. You get a lot of bang for your buck.

Hard drive stopped working after 3 months. Camera connections are sloppy and as a result the unit often loses the video signal. Likewise the ac input is sloppy and if bumped the unit loses power. The cameras work fine but the DVR function is apparently very cheaply made with an inferior hard drive. I do not advise buying and I would not buy again.

I am just installing this system. The basic function is pretty easy to set up. I have one camera installed and it works pretty well in bright light, but is a little disappointing in the dark.
The mount for the cameras is a definite drawback to this system. I had to mess around with the mount on the first camera for it to work. Even so, I am not sure the camera will hold position for any length of time. The mount is poorly engineered and machined. I was also disappointed to find no instructions regarding camera mounting. I have no idea of how secure this camera will be in adverse weather. I had considered covering the point where the wire enters the camera with a silicone seal, since it does not look waterproof. At this point, I have just mounted it under my soffitt, hoping it will not be subject to driving rain.
Once I get all the cameras installed,I will work on getting the system hooked up to the internet. At that time, I plan to modify my review.

I thought this would be a wonderful system until my home was burglarized and they deleted the recordings off my system. It was my fault that i did not change the default password but the system is so sluggish and hard to use that it’s difficult to do so. There is no backup of your recordings and the cameras are easily pulled off the wall by criminals. Look for a better system if you’re hoping for safety and security after a robbery!
