We bought this a year ago for my husband's gallery. He is a technophobe and refused to install it. I was intimidated as well. Then we found that if was not necessary for the gallery, but I wanted it as a cat cam :)
The system really is plug and play. I plugged in one camera (not using both right now), popped the memory card in, and then plugged in the monitor. Instant clear picture! I then downloaded the manual from the website and spent about an hour reading it and exploring the features. The manual offers super clear, easy to follow instructions. Within that hour I had figured out how to set today's date and time, how to record with motion activation or at specific days/times of day, alarm (if a cat, or anyone), walks in front of it, automatic reuse of storage area when tape is full, and how to review and delete recordings.
It is super user-friendly, and I'm extremely happy I finally got the guts to install it. I should have done this a year ago :)
Just got this unit installed, it was a gift for Christmas and was easy to install and easy to set up and use. Thought it would be hard for me(SENIOR CITIZEN) but was easy to do. Very happy so far with my gift.........
I've been using this for about two weeks now, and am very pleased. It was easy to set up, and works well. I was replacing an older Defender system that lasted more than fifteen years, so I am very familiar with the product. I was happy to see the new one seems to be even better quality. I miss not having the remote, but the buttons are almost as easy to use. I have the cameras outside, at quite some distance, and they work great. I've tested all the features now, and everything works as stated. Great purchase.
Just bought this and very pleased. Worked perfect right out of the box. Wanted a stand alone model with recording capabilities at an economical price. This does it all! Monitor can be moved from room to room, great pics and video! Thanks!
Hooked this up today and finally got the the picture I wanted. Seems to have a good picture in day light, hope it is this good at night. Found that the control button for up,down was very loose and touchy. Instructions were very sparse
I bought this yesterday and we already set it up. So easy! My husband and I are not overly savvy when it comes to this kind of thing, we are really impressed and would recommend this to anyone. Thank you for a great product.
