    Highly Recommend Surveillance System

    This security camera system is great! The quality of the picture is great during the day and the night vision. These are wired cameras, so you will have to have someone who can run the wires to install the cameras where you want them if you can’t do it yourself. The set up of the DVR is easy. It’s super easy to install and setup the app on your phone. There isn’t a month fee or anything that cost extra unlike some other products. You can view live streaming video from anywhere your at. You can set up the system to record continuously or only record certain activity. So not only can it record continuously but You have the option to have it record only human activity, vehicles or you can have it record when any movement is detected. The quality of these cameras are great! These have an option you can set up for the spotlight to come on when motion is detected. It also has an option to have audio alerts or sirens to make sounds upon motion being detected. One of the things I also like is that by using the phone app, you can speak to someone through the cameras via two way audio. You can not get a better quality system for the price! I highly recommend this product!

    Started out good, went downhill quickly

    These cameras have given us some very clear images in the past that we were very happy with. But before we knew it (less than a year), we started experiencing major issues. Heavy blur or distortion in one camera that came from nowhere and seems to be unfixable. Another stopped working completely one day. Another has a faulty wire and flashes the flash light and beeps if plugged in (essentially also rendering it completely unusable too). We are not expecting a long lifespan for these cameras after the issues we’ve already experienced. In short: Started out good, went downhill quickly.
