    These cameras were easy to instal. The image is great. At night it's like looking at them like it's daylight. The only problem is the app. I can't get the app to work properly on my iPhone. Cameras overal are a great investment.

    Easy to install, and easy to get set up. We use ours at a business. Perfect picture quality with long recording time for play back. We are opening a 2nd business and will be purchasing this product to use at our new location.

    This is a really excellent camera system the only problem i got with is is that the fan is a little bit loud on the DVR so it gives away it's hiding spot when the place it quiet that all. Other than that, it's great video quality. Material quality could have been better on the cameras but not really a problem to me.

    I bought it for my business to replace a older system that had horrible night vision once I had this one installed it had more views with excellent picture so next day I did a playback to check on the night vision and was very happy with it only reason it gets a 4 instead of 5 is the difficulty we are having getting it connected to the Internet but we have not checked with manufacturer yet to see what we are doing wrong but the view was worth the upgrade

    Bought this for a client. Easy to install and setup. With the QR code, you don't need static IP or DDNS. App sometime is quirky, especially on remote playback.

    this system was a great bang for the buck, the cameras are nice and clear and it was easy to set up. it will even take 4 additional cameras if we decide to add more later on.

    Was in the market for a new camera system and went with this one and glad I did! Easy setup on mobile devices and amazing camera quality. Only downfall is they don't have sound capabilities.

    I always use Swann products when installing cameras. This system was the largest I've bought so far, I usually get the 4 or 8ch systems. The only problem I had with the system is running the cables out over 1/2 mile. They still work and the picture is clear but it lower the power supply to the cameras on the end of the runs.

    I like the ease of the setting it up. Hardest part is running wire to each camera. The corner eave of the house is harder than just the eave. So I suggest staying a couple of feet away from the corners. Im not very good with the technology part of it, but I hooked it up and its working. I bought a monitor for now but eventually my son will have it go to the family computer. I do think if it will take 16 cameras it should come with 16 cameras. It came with 12 and I added 1 at a cost of about 80 to 100 not sure but it works fine.

    For the price and easy installation, you can't get a better image. You can get a higher grade camera and system, but this one will suffice for my use.
