set up was fairtly simple but if your using a desktop set up its VERY limited on what you can do or adjust. they make you use the App.. fine but its VERY SLOW. video on day one as 10s slower then real time.. that's a LONG time when somebody is waiting at the door. or breaking it down. looking at past footage is clunky. not easy to select times, to view, and again its all on your tiny phone so cant see much.. you cant access the past footage on the desktop application. only phone... that should not be a hard fix for them. so what's the prob? and you have to pay for a advanced version of the app to access footage from ANYWHERE. or you can only use it when your in WIfi range.

Signal is poor and you cant loop through cameras to increase the signal like you could in the previous version I had. Looking for an antenna to boost signal with no luck. not sure why yall removed the option to loop through cameras to help with signal but it not a good idea.

Best part of the camera, it's simple. Nothing complicated to do other than putting the batteries in an mounting it where you want. The whole system was really easy to put together and make everything work. I suggest put all the cameras and base together on your tv hdmi connection and router your network is on.This way you can insure everything works, pairs, adjusts, records, and scare people who don't know you have it on and hidden. The only thing I don't like, it's not 4k like the ones with my NVR. Didn't think I would complain about HD camera resolution, but 4k is blow'n 1080p away. Once you get everything paired, and it all works doing the items like brightness, recording, activating by movement, points where it should, then wait a day before using the cameras in the location you've picked.. . You can install and run the app while the system is connected to the tv. And let it run for 24 hours, for a on test to see what happens to everything before mounting it. Once the app is installed, and the phone is going to be used for controlling the system, you will have to reboot the box, for it to have the phone as primary controller. I put my cameras on a 2-3' wide board 10-12 inches long. This lets you aim the camera when holding the phone and aiming the camera for the best coverage.. Leave the cameras in place an go look using the tv. I did this with one screw holding the board to temp mount it. after watching it for hours, 3 of the 4 were moved several feet. Don't forget the power supply can't be left out in the weather, so get a 12v power cord that can reach it and tape up the connections. Put all your cables under cover to stay dry, then use a power strip or 2-6 way plug adapter. It was harder to place the 4k cameras than the add on. It came several days later. Install the batterys, it turns on itself, install to system with app, make sure everything works and camera starts recording and adjusts like it should, then go find a place to put it. I painted mine a camo brown, then put outside were no one would notice high up to get coverage of yard and house. It's been a week, still over 70% battery using 4 of them. This system, a bluetooth NVR with 1 TB drive and 4 cameras @4k resolution is really simple to use. The add on cameral, with batteries is idiot proof. If they were 4k, and used batteries like the one I have, it could be a kickass super simple setup to use and move around where ever you wanted.

I've only had both cameras for about 2 weeks now, but they are working well. I have both at a corner location of my garage and the receiver is about 100 ft away. I purchase the external charger with extra batteries so I just have to swap them out as needed.

Product easy to install. Set up was simple. Clarity is top notch. Over all very very happy with system. One minor issue, they go off non stop at first. This took a fair amount of time getting the settings right. Only other thing I would ask for is a way to shut them down for the work day easy. Meaning unlock, open app, disarm. at night the reverse

It fulfills it purpose of being a completely wire free camera that you can place anywhere within the range of the wireless recorder. Good features and sensitivity, and the ability to "Speak" through the Camera speaker and "Listen" using the Mobile Application. One Caveat though is that while they say "Up to 6months of Battery life" that must have been in an empty room with zero "Triggers" on the camera, since I have this configure to only trigger on "Human" and "Face" and with 10-12 Triggers per day, the batteries only last 2 weeks before needing a recharge. However, knowing that was likely, I also bought the wall charger that comes with a spare set of batteries so that you can just swap the dead ones with the fresh ones and put the others back on the charger for the next time.

I was excited to buy this and I had electrical outlets installed in anticipation of this purchase. I wanted this system because it did not require an internet connection and the system was to be private. However during set up the system kept giving messages that manual set up was not recommended (as opposed to automatic set up using the internet). There was also a warning about lack of support and even voiding the warranty. It seemed as though the manufacturer really did not want me to set this up without giving them access to my wifi. During set up I had a problem with one of the cameras. It would pair but never showed video. After multiple attempts and NO support from the manufacturer, I eventually figured out that there is a reset button in the camera where the SD card can be added. Resetting and going through the set up again corrected the camera issue. And lastly the cameras were to be installed outside. While the cameras seem built for this (well insulted cords) the power supplies for the camera do not appear to be made for the outside. Very thin wire. I doubt the power supplies will hold up very long in the temperature extremes of the northeast US. One other note about the power supplies. They have a moderately sized black plug. I wanted to install two cameras on the same electrical outlet.and get an outlet cover to protect the power supplies. However it seems there are no outlet covers large enough to enclose two of these power supplies (I spent hours looking). Because of this I do not have all cameras in use as there is no way to plug them in and fit them inside an outlet cover. I may have to call an electrician to have my outdoor single gang outlets changed to double gang because of the shape of the power supplies. This has been quite frustrating. I would only recommend for those who plan to use this indoors only and are willing to connect the system to the internet. I am a disappointed buyer.

Good quality picture

I thought this system and was told the system would be able to send text to Phone when someone is at the camera un less I have missed it it does not . So if it does not I’m not very happy with the system most other security camera systems do
