Excellent once set up

I purchased in USA and took system to Europe - had trouble with my own plasma TV recognising the DVR (TV was from 2008), so purchased a new small security only dedicated HD TV and have the perfect security area set up now. Resolution is great, App works well, alerts almost too well - takes some time to figure out all the options within the menu. Selected wired rather than wireless due to hack vulnerbility (wifi signals can easily be jammed) and possible interference in a multi-residence building - keep that in mind when choosing systems. Difficult to cut wires of all cameras at once if the central location is difficult to reach without being filmed. It's set up with local and remote data backup with backup battery source to ensure continuous coverage even in power failures. Only vulnerability is in the event of theft of DVR when DSL is not working to send out signal, hopefully a minimal risk. If it had a way to back up directly to an external device without the internet that would be perfect. Good luck, and remember if you are going to install a system like this one, do it end to end for full peace of mind.

Very pleased with this security system. The wiring took a little work but well worth the time to get higher resolution and no batteries to replace. Well priced, for the amount of cameras you get. App for phone was easy to set up. So glad we bought this system.

We purchased this unit for our school. We are very pleased with the cameras wide angle view. By mounting the camera in the corners we get a look down 2 hallways with one camera. Picture is crystal clear. Remote viewing on a network with a firewall takes some set up but not to bad.

Just got this security system and I now have six cams (3-dome & 3- bullet) installed. Video resolution is super clear. Installation went fairly quick especially accessing the DVR from my smart devices and away from home. I asked my buddy to help me with the cabling because I wanted to get it done properly. I would recommend this system to anybody looking for a security system for their home.

Straightforward connections, cameras and monitor immediately operational. Some uncertainty about username-would not accept new name, did continue with entry of 'admin'.
