Q: QuestionWho makes the cameras? Are they Sony based?

Asked 7 years ago by JasonJ.

• A:Answer FWIW, I was wondering that myself and decided to just go ahead and buy the system. But if you really want or need to know, you'll have to contact the manufacturer directly and ask them to know for sure. But to be honest, whatever brand it is, the picture/video quality is great. So, in my honest opinion, there's nothing to worry about. Hope that helps!
