    Easy setup with sound and 1080p. Great night vision. Best of all you can hook it to your router, view live video and get alerts real time for FREE. FedEx cane in the afternoon and the other is leaving for work at 430a. WORTH IT!

    Great picture quality but it doesn't do continuous recording 24/7. You need to add an internal hard drive to do so. This is the only issue a found but is a good product for the price.

    Just opened my package and the cameras are white. All the pictures in the advertisement show the cameras as black. That was the main reason i went with this setup, it was suppose to be all black.
