    I swapped out my Arlo system for this 8-channel, 8 camera wired system. Am overall pleased with the system. Installation was a bit of a pain, but that is true with any wired system. The 60-feet cables are not that long, so I had to purchase the 100-foot extension cables for 2 of my cameras. The nighttime pictures are a bit grainy (not sure I will get a good license plate number), but the daytime pics are great. Use my phone app to check in at times, with no problems. 4-5 stars!

    This is our 1st security camera system. It fit our needs, and we installed it ourselves in less than 16 hours. We saved over $1600 in installation fees!! Yay!!

    Had to originally return due to a bad channel but best buy made the exchange super easy. Once swapped, all is ok. I love being able to monitor while I'm on the road and record at will when I want. I love it.

    This was recommended by my son who installed it for me. It took a little while to run the cables but they were long enough for my application. I am happy with the quality and function overall. I am still figuring out everything it will do but it is easy to use. It saves me time in wondering what is going on outside of my door and I think it was money well spent for security around the perimeter of my home. I am able to view while at work through my phone which is great feature.

    My only gripe is that when you add an an extension, the video quality drops dramatically. Otherwise it's fine.

    Great - but only 8 channels

    I bought this after reading reviews and speaking with Best Buy workers. There arent too many choices out there. I debated between this one and the Lorex. Only thing is, you get 8 channels and can't ever add. So I exchanged it for the 16 channel one for a minimal price difference because I bought it on sale and did a price match.
