    Very simple . Hook it up it starts recording after you enter time/date/password/etc it auto records like I want . I ran a hdmi to my living room tv and a wireless mouse so I can switch to input at any giving time to check around my home or on my kids . I haven't set up to Internet to do the phone and alert view . So I can't comment on that yet . That doesn't interest me really . Maybe one day I just want a simple long recording if for any reason I question thing around my home I can find out what happened . So far all 8 running on middle motion I'm on 3rd week without recording over yet . Clear for the money and the night vision is like all the others . But with in 10 ft at a door it's good beyond that it's worthless

    This was a pretty good camera system. The main unit was quiet, even with the little fan in it. The caremas gave a decent wide angle view with minimal fisheye effect when placed close to a ceiling. The motion sensing was great and picked up the smallest movements in the areas I designated. Remote view was okay but had no audio even with an audio input set up. I liked that all connected cameras showed up when first opening the remote view software even if it was a bit slow to load, afterwhich switching between cameras was pretty quick. I've owned this unit just under 3 years and am pretty upset that the mainboard died so quickly. Even with the unit being in an open, cool place the board still died before the low quality Toshiba hard drive did. I like the Swann units but am pretty sure I'm going to go with another brand for the next security camera system I get.

    Wish it had more features and better night vision but this is OK for a simple camera

    Easy set up but overall the compatibility is horrible. App is hard to function and manage.

    Product works but it doesn't have sound which we asked store clerk about b4 buying and guess he didn't hear that request. Anyways the other main issue is not user friendly to get setup. We also were not happy with app. We took back to store and purchased a different brand

    I was looking for Poe. Power over Ethernet. I was disappointed with that. One of the wires were bad had to go back for that. The app works fast but a bit complicated. Setting alerts is complicated. This has a lot of complicated features

    If your not too worried about seeing all the details, this is okay. I was not able to export video. Adobe premier pro does not recognize the format. Had to return for something with a easier to use interface.
