I was looking for a security system beyond a simple doorbell camera and this one caught my attention. I liked the number of cameras, the amount of storage space on the harddrive, and the fact that installation didn't seem like it would be too tough. When I opened the box, there was a ton of stuff and I kind of wondered what I had gotten myself into, but once it was all out, it was easy to make make a plan and put it all in place. There is a fair amount of cable provided, but folks with longer runs may need to shop for a bit more. With a drill, a screwdriver and some expanding foam it was easy to get the cameras into place around the outside of my house to monitor the four main entry points. I haven't tried to watch the images on the TV, which is certainly and option, I'm happy enough to simply use the app to keep tabs on things. The spotlights are good, but out of consideration for my neighbors I haven't tested the alarm feature as it seems like it would be pretty loud. The DVR box isn't much bigger than a standard cable box and should blend in anywhere if it's sitting out like mine is. TLDR: Overall, I am very happy happy with this product. Installation is easy enough for anyone with some basic tools and the quality of the image is great!

This product was extremely easy for me to install. The one wire per camera makes install very simple. The wires in my box were very tangled and took quite a while to unwind. Once I straightened that out it was a breeze. The only hard part on my end was crawling around in the attic. This is not completely necessary thanks to the long cat5 cable. I just preferred a clean no visible wire install. The dvr setup was even easier than the camera install. I plugged everything in and hooked it to my modem. After a quick firmware update I created an account and was looking at my brand new cameras on my tv. I don’t have a 4K tv but the quality of the cameras were much better than expected. The optional light and siren is a great feature. They are a bit sensitive but I’ve tinkered with the settings enough that I think I have them to a reasonable setting. Overall I am very satisfied with this product and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a home camera system

I have this camera set up in a window on the second floor. It is not sensing any motion in my front yard. The only time it records is if I initiate the recording, or if something moves directly in front of the camera (very close). Attached is a picture of the camera view. Any suggestions as to why it isn't picking up motion in my yard or at the mailboxes?
