PLUGGED IN CAMERA #1 RIGHT OUT OF BOX AND HAD PICTURE. NOTHING TO IT. (STILL HAVE NOT INSTALLED #2). GREAT PICTURE AND RANGE TO CAMERA, (HAD A HARD TIME ADJUSTING CAMERA SO AS NOT TO PICK UP TRAFFIC 100 FT. AWAY). CAMERA BRACKET NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE LONGER SO ANTENA DOES NOT HIT WALL.
Had no trouble on installation or programing.Wish they had include printed instructions in box...not good at following instructions after download... Had to print them,35 pages...Maybe they could condense them to 15 pages
Picture quality, for a VGA system, is excellent, way beyond everything I've seen on similar system. Set-up was a breeze, 15 minutes (give or take). The recordings are sharp, sharp enough to make up faces. One of the features that I really appreciate (and one that I didn't have on my earlier system) is that you can adjust the alert sensitivity for each camera independently. I have one camera 2 facing the front yard (and the street); and camera 1 facing the front entrance. Camera 2, with my previous system, used to give me tons of recordings every time it picked up the sound or movement of a vehicle. By adjusting the sensitivity to LOW on that camera, I am now getting a fraction of the alerts/recording I used to get on the old system. Overall, I am extremely happy with this system. All the buttons are properly placed on the front and top of the display, so it's a breeze to use. The only small criticism I have is that the labels on the buttons are hard to read, even in day light. So that would be a nice improvement to make in a future release.
