  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Work great.

    I originally purchased the wireless cameras but that didn't work for me because the constant monitoring and recording of the traffic flow in front of the house killed the batteries in four days. I switched to the hard-wired cameras and the problem has been resolved. The cameras look great, even at night, and they sound great as well.
