    One of the cameras went out in less than 3 weeks. Such a hassle to return the whole system, just to replace one camera.

    The playback only shows 2 channels at a time. The older version i had, showed all channels. Also trying to ensure capatible wired ptz cam is difficult.

    Wired cameras are labor intensive. The cost is a little high but the added features like the 2 way voice and spotlight make up for it.

    Basic camera's only issue i have is you can not swivel at the head part if at an agle. You can swivle the body to an angle, but head part No, which makes no sense, so you can straighten the head part correct. Loser's theirs better camera's don't waste your money like I did

      Posted .

      Thank you for the feedback and sorry to hear that you not happy with the ranges of adjustment with our camera mounts. We have passed this feedback on to our engineering team. We do offer multiple camera types to allow for flexible positioning. It sounds like a dome camera might work better for this application. Please let us know if we may be of any further assistance. Thanks, Night Owl SP Digital Support Team
