Decent quality cameras, but the interface can be challenging to use. The app can be unreliable, and the PC program is different than either the app or the direct view. However it does well for the price.

Notification and sensors do not work correctly. Cameras sensitivity setting sets off cameras every minute even on the lowest settings. They also claim to detect cars and people that are not there. Apparently cars drive through my enclosed backyard. So if something were to happen you would have to search hours of video to find what you're looking for. This also creates over 200 unnecessary notifications. Phone will ring few times a minute until you shut off notifications or unplug system. Customer service is also no help.

DVR AND CAMERAS were plug and play. Installing the cameras wasn’t bad. Running the lines was the difficult part, especially from getting inside to outside. I now understand the install fee that was offered lol.
I chose wired over wireless to ensure a stable video feed. I also wanted a DVR unit so I wouldn’t have to pay for a sub and rely on cloud services. This unit does support up to 4 additional wireless devices (that record to DVR) if you choose.
I didn’t appreciate the to camera feed and to dvr tags until I had to run them and sleeve them in conduit. It would have been a real pain to have to reverse the feed.
Cameras are nice. I wasn’t impressed with how you can angle them initially until I found the small screw collar, and things made a lot more sense. You can wall or ceiling mount them.
60ft wires that came with the package weren’t bad. I used two cameras and from feed to DVR has very little slack, so I had to double up on those. That being said, it wouldn’t have hurt to include some bnc couplers. Cameras can run fine with up to a maximum of 150’. Did not test this theory, but I know they operate fine with a 120’ run.
The DVR is small. Hooking in with the BNC adapters made it a little difficult. I had to install the BNC’s bottom first, then the top.
The app allows you to look at your feeds in realtime and even download what was recorded, provided you network in the DVR. You can adjust camera color and contrast, name them and so on. Looking at previous days feeds can get a little confusing and complicated, but tapping the right tabs helps.
