Was looking for a system that wouldn't record audio as my clients talk about personal matters and share sensitive information about retirement and investments. Did want video for security and as a deterent from break-ins though. This is a great balance. If I need audio in reception or other area I can always add it with Wi-Fi camera per Night Owl.
I am disappointed that FTD4-81-8L does not support single channel viewing sequentially through active channels. Not being able to view channels sequentially on FTD4-81-8L is a letdown. I wish FTD4-81-8L had a function that allowed for single channel viewing in a sequential order.
Positives of this product are that the color and picture clarity is good. Easy to install, connects to both monitor and phone app. Negatives of this product is that video relay to screen is a little delayed and the wide angle distortion starts to far from the camera for our needs.
Machine is great and easy to setup. The app is not easy to setup also would like to see the app available for smart tv so the view is large. When interface the phone to tgg by e tv the pi’s is small like on the phone
I upgraded this system from c20x version because of the audio aspect. I thought you would be able to export all 8 hours(for example) to a usb drive like the c20x version.. NOPE Its only by events. You cant even select multiple events at a time. Its just one at a time. THIS IS A HUGE SOFTWARE FLAW! FIX THIS!
The cameras are good quality but the app has a bunch of bugs, for one I turn off human detection and it keeps turning it back on. I get way too many notifications and can't shut the ones off I need
