I just got the cameras installed a few weeks ago. I'm very happy with my purchase. I love the HD clarity and how easily I can go back to see the recordings. I highly recommend them. My house has a nice, big lot so I love having all 8 cameras!

I downloaded the users manual from their website which is helpful in navigating through the DVR set up. I installed 4 cameras and had the entire system up and running within a day. Day time video quality is excellent and the night time IR video quality is decent.

I purchased this for my son and his family for a Christmas gift. They just set it up and the picture quality is great! He is pretty handy with set-up so that wasn't an issue for him. We have had extremely cold weather lately 5 below zero and it still functions in the cold weather.

I can see everything clearly. Only issue is it said it was 1TB but does not seem that way it looks it can only record 3 days then it will delete all.

Would give it 5 stars but can't get it to connect to my phone. And recording time need to be larger than 1 Tb. Have to reset every 2-3 days.

The cameras are good but the fact that they don’t swivel makes them harder to mount in the exact places you want them in. I have bought other cameras before and the swivel feature was very helpful.

Love the fact that 8 cameras are included. It allows you to cover your entire house and have no blind spots. The encryption is great and gives you peace of mind. Crystal clear picture in daytime and nighttime

I received these about 3 weeks age and they are a very well built set of cameras. Came with everything I needed for setup. I looked at several different brands and this brand has a great rating. I am happy!

Only reason I have not given a 5 is they have yet to be hung outside. Cameras and system have been hooked up internally and clarity is great on the playback. Will see how they are once winter breaks and we can get them hooked up outside

Awesome camera for the price. Picture quality is awesome, especially at night. Modifying the parameters for the DVR is not so user friendly

They work well, only one camera failed and they did not replace only one, they wanted to change the entire system.

System playback online is crap. Live video is ok. Power cycles itself about once a week, which is annoying.

After purchasing these cameras, the installation went well and camera resolution was good. However, we could not get it to work on any of our android or apple devices. Had to return camera for another system.
