    BB ran a good sale on this system. It gets a good picture. It takes a little time to learn the software on your portable device but after a few attempts to log in it gets much easier.

    power supply too small

    The cameras are great during the day, even with the PIR, but as soon as the night vision comes on I would either lose the night vision or I would get a "Video Loss" on a random camera. I hooked up two power supplies to two cameras each and turned off the PIR and that solved the problem.

    Difficult to set up on your own, however, these cameras work great! And it’s easy to use with the app. You can view right from your phone when you’re not even at home!
