A:AnswerTo get 4K images/video, you need a 4K capable device. Phones are not 4K. For best results, watch the videos on a 4K TV or monitor.

A:AnswerIt has 8 cameras total, so theoretically you can, but the included cables are only 60ft long so they may not reach your detached garage. You can get extensions for them though.
A:AnswerYou can turn that feature off, but can also turn on the privacy shield to turn off video and audio by using an actual physical filter. Or you can simply turn off the mic function and nothing will be recorded.

A:Answer8 cameras recording 24 hours continuous you will get about 6 days storage on a 2 TB HD. You can replace the existing HD with another HD up to the maximum allowed with your DVR.
