Bought this system on a recommendation from son the tech. Un pack and plugged all in. Everything worked well. Ordered a doorbell to go with. Only problem is a missing security set screw that holds the frame secure over the unit.
Maybe 1080p but definitely NOT producing 4K resolution. The lens inside the camera might be 4K but what you see on your monitor/app/phone is definitely not 4K resolution. It’s easy enough to blame that on your WIFI connection but I have 4K going to and from my router to 3 different streaming devices and 3 times the distance from the router than what the camera was. And even with all streaming devices off except the camera, it still doesn’t stream 4K. Bought two and returning them both. I really wanted to like these at this price point but so far I haven’t found an IP camera capable of streaming 4K. I’m guessing it’s downgraded at the sever end. Going back to a hard wired system for now.
I bought an 8-channel NVR / 4-camera package (wired power, wifi image streaming) for my parents in 2017. They have worked flawlessly for 5 years now though I recall the setup was frustrating. I bought the same package (but 2022 version) recently - having same experience. But when setup I'm confident they will work reliably and as good as the system I had purchased for my parents 5 years ago.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I received my system a couple weeks ago and got it installed. The cameras are nice, images are clear and crisp, and there are many things that can be configured with the system giving a lot of flexibility. Out of the box my cameras were not pre-paired to the receiver, so nothing worked. The install guide and online videos didn't help. I did an online chat with Support and they walked me through the pairing process. The Support team was great and the pairing process was easy but it was frustrating that I had to go that step. My other ding on the system is that the configuration interface is very old school. At this point, I would have expected to be able to use a web browser on a laptop to configure the system.
