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.
worth the money ,and easy to install . in the night time the picture look good , i am glad i got it . i been want to get this for long time .i put one inside and one for outside .
I promised a review, so here it is. I didn't want a Ring, but I do use this for a front door camera. I like almost everything about this system. The ONLY thing that's a little annoying is the time lag between camera and monitor. It's really not that bad, just a little annoying. Controls are simple and easy. I was worried about the joystick, but it's very positive and no problems. Picture quality is very good. All around, I REALLY like it, and have actually gotten compliments on it, too. And you bet, I'd recommend it and buy another one, too !!
Bought this and have had it going for about a week. Cameras are good, night vision is really good. Price was good, installation was easy. Very plug and play. The monitor is a little small for old eyes but totally acceptable. Zoom feature very nice. The speaking feature is the bomb. None of the other systems I checked out had this. Actually didn’t realize this had this till installation. Highly recommended.
