Mission Accomplished

Bought another system on Ebay for $115 that lasted 12 hours before the monitor quit syncing...junk.
So I researched for awhile to buy another system because my cars were vandalized in my condo's garage, making it a mandatory purchase. I didn't want to spend a lot of money as I only need to surveil a small area, and there are very many systems out there (as you know). I settled on this package because 1. reputable company 2. features I needed 3. Good quality 4. detailed on-line user manual.
Set-up is simply plug in the cameras, and plug in the monitor (do this right out of the package to make sure everything works). You can dial-in each camera for brightness and quality of recording, as well as individual motion detection once you have positioned them where you want. I brought the monitor out to where I was, to get each camera exactly right. Power cords are long, but I had to add extension cords. Once up and running, this is a very good surveillance system. The features are: recording sounds at the camera (with microphone in the monitor to talk thru the cameras if you like), an alarm sounds at the monitor if motion is detected, variable camera views of back and forth or both at once, and an effective WiFi range. At night, I push the 'motion' button on the top of the monitor to turn on automatic recording when motion is detected by each camera. I set them both on the least amount of sensitivity, and they are very sensitive (almost too sensitive) then go to bed. In the morning, if there was any recordings done overnight, each camera on the monitor will have an icon indicator showing... you can view on the monitor, or take out the SD Card, slip it into a PC and view what was recorded. Each camera has its own record. For an inexpensive unit, the quality of the recordings are good enough to identify any perps, thus, mission accomplished. For my need, this unit is great, and I would recommend buying it.

Needed to monitor two entrances to the property and didn't want to buy more than needed. This two camera system was ideal. From the set-up to learning operation it was straight forward and easy. The quality is very good. They have several great features

This is a great security camera system if your technology challenged like me. It was basically plug it in and your ready to go. Just put the setting to were you want them and your ready.

I just installed this system. I have installed 3 other security systems in the past and this was as easy to install as the best of them. The picture quality is great and an additional (unanticipated) benefit is an audible motion alarm that lets you know when someone is in the field of view of the camera. The camera has a "zoom" feature that lets you get a close-up picture, and the volume of the speaker is adjustable. The only negative is that there is a slight delay in the audio transmission but this simply requires learning to adapt to it.
