This is a great camera system

We bought this system to replace an older wireless defender system. The cameras are great and so much clearer and the night vision is so easy to see everything. I also like that the color comes on when the lights are activated. Playback is very easy to use. Set up was very easy. I highly recommend this system.

Install and set up was easy. Running wires in the attic is a challenge but would be for any brand. Recommend that you test all equipment and then pull wires and mount cameras. Note for possible improvement would be to use a better quality adjustment screws. They strip out very easily. Suggest using a high quality torx head screw. Had a problem with a couple of the cameras going offline, not sure why. I rebooted the NVR and they all reconnected. I had Lorex cameras for many years and I believe these are better quality and set up was much easier.

Great Security Camera with great features

This is a great security camera with great features. The hardware is pretty good and easy to connect. The setting up the devices app is very smooth. The instructions are pretty accurate. The features of camera like setting up the color of the video recording and images is outstanding. Motion detection and night vision which are the main best features of the security camera is excellent. The only downside of this, is that this is wired camera therefore installing this by yourself is not that easy. If you want to run the wires clean in the house you have to do it in the ceiling along with electrical wirings and it may require professionals. For DIYers can still be done with a careful consideration of the aesthetic of the house. Other than that this security camera is perfect for the price and its features.

Love the security, yes you can view on a computer

Installed in a day and very happy with the video quality. I don't use any detections, it's something I'm still on the fence about but I'll probably work on setting it up soon. Also, there is a way to use the app on the computer though using the software Bluestacks, it's a phone emulator for your computer and it's free.

Best Image we ever had

The daytime images are crystal clear and detailed. The night vision is very good close to the house but a bit blurry farther away. That's the same as most other systems. The motion detectors are very sensitive. We had a good laugh because the alarm would go off for our backyard saying a human was detected. It ended up being our smoker with the cover flapping in the wind. After moving it a little, everything was fine. The app works well and you can handle most of the NVR functionality from it. The only thing we miss is 2-way sound cameras. We would have used those in place of the 2 pointing at our doors. We would recommend this system to anyone wanting good day & night coverage for your home or business.

Simple, good quality video system

The video quality on this system is great and setup is a breeze. Motion detection is somewhat hit-and-miss so as part of a security system you would still want more precise intrusion sensors, however, this works great to provide recordings of past/event activity for future reference.

24/7 recording with very clear images

I bought this system 3 months ago and have enjoyed using it. The image is very clear and the 24/7 recording is great to capture any activities. The ability to zoom and audio are great features.

Good system, needs some upgrades

Have had the system for a month or so and has done a good job recording. It is supposed to have sound, but I have not been able to hear any on video playback (may have missed a setting tho) Perfect for my outbuildings.
