Store security

When I started to look on the market for a home security camera system this one was not on any of the top 10 list. A coworker told me about it and said they loved it. I looked online and started to look at the base model to save money. After doing hours on hours of research I found out that you can not buy a camera system on a budget. Once I came to that conclusion I went big. I started watching YouTube videos on different types of camera quality like 1080p-light. Its a joke don't buy that. Its less then 720p at 4fps. But I'm not going to get into all that. The 8-4k camera setup is perfect for my property. The cameras have a much wider angle the i anticipated and therefore only needed two in the actual house. The living room and kitchen. I did finally place one in the pantry to catch my teenager from eating all the junk food. Over all the install and set up are pretty easy. I do recommend printing out the 85 page full system user guide for the tips and tricks on picking the location of each camera. I have two that I need to move a few inches due to the inferred reflecting off the eves and washing out the night vision. And the 60 foot cables were plenty long enough to go from the center on my home and out to the edges. I went into the wall and up to the attic and out. One mistake I made was running the cables before attaching them to the camera first. This created two problems. The first: I could reach the cameras that were under the eves on the out side of the house from the very short attic. The second: I ran 6 of the 8 cables the wrong direction. A simple tip, connect the cables to the cameras and fish them in the attic and use a loge pole with a hook at the end to aid in retrieval. A few other problems I had had nothing going to do with product it self. Just not knowing how to do this and not having adequate help was a stresser. For the hub, its about the size of a large Blu-ray player and it is a bit loud. It won't interfere with day to day life but in a quiet room you will notice the hum. The Program: it is at first complicated. So much to see and click on and so many options for your unique situation. Again, I can't stress enough to read the full user manual before you start anything. And a few more things to say before I'm done. The App is good. I wish that I could do a few more system adjustments with the app but for the most part I like it. I can see the live feed just fine and see recordings when ever I need to. The app only plays back recordings in a lower video quality. And the pest part for me is being able to see all 8 cameras at once on 60in TV in 4k quality. Its almost better then actually going outside to see my yard. The photos are screen shots from the app on my phone. I am very pleased with this perches and definitely will recommend it.

I bought this system to replace my old swann system that I got in 2013. Thankfully Swann didn't change the wiring so I was able to just swap out the old cameras and DVR and leave the cables alone. The picture is amazing, especially at night. I got it connected to the LAN and downloaded the app and it all went together seamlessly. I may have to adjust the push notifications on the app, I get notified every time a car drives down the street.

My mom purchased these for her building a few months ago and kept saying how happy she was with these cameras. I went ahead and purchased them for our home, after the cameras I purchased at Sam's club went out. I was hoping these would be better and they definitely were. My husband said they were easy to install. The quality is really nice and I love all the features. I like that you can turn on the light on each camera or sound the alarm. I am very happy with this purchase. I highly recommend them!

The system has a good picture and works well. The playback on it however is not as good as other brands. There is no way way to go to a certain time on the playback and play it from the app. I personally would get a different brand next time
