Good kit, easy basic setup, but poor detailed detailed documentation

This is a comprehensive kit. The cameras and base station are easy to set up and get working quickly. Think about where you mount the cameras outside though, through-the-wall installation needs a HUGE hole to accommodate the Ethernet cable connection cable, which is stupid given this is primary sold as a wireless set up!!!. Also the reset button is on the end of the cable too, so its beyond me how to reset the camera unless you unscrew it from the wall and pull out the wire and three pigtails to expose the reset button. To make it tamper proof the wires should not be exposed - whoever thought this one up has limited exposure to the practical world outside the lab! Of course as you would expect from Swann, the picture quality both night and day are top quality. The set-up to use a mobile device (my case an and iphone5s ) to view streaming is very simple and works well. To view recorded material either remotely on the iphone or via the app for a OSX for Mac, does not seem to work. Given that's the point of a CCTV system I find it odd that the simplicity with which you can view live streaming is not mirrored by the ability to view captured video via the iphone or the MacOSX app. I will follow the instructions next to use a TV screen with HDMI connection so see if all the screens which are in the 4 leaflets actually exist because they certainly are not on the iphone or Mac!

A comprehensive product

I like the product for what it gives in the kit. I only problem I had was trying to work the sequence of setting up the system and doing the configuration. It took some time to try and follow the instructions, but my son and I did manage to have it working after about five hours of installing all the components.
