Bought it 1 month ago. Installation and configuration is simple. Quality of picture is great and camera is really sensitive. At one point it stop recording completely...I had to reset to factory default and it restarted correctly. The only concern that I have with the product is that it will not restart by itself after a power failure. I had to buy a battery UPS and plug it in. Now it monitor at all time.
This is my third camera set and I love it. I bought this to add to the other two sets. I am a female over 65 years and i set this up myself. I have seen deer, racoon, possom, and even a coyote at night in my back yard. I can see who's at my door without having to look out the window. I can see most of my yard. We have had a lot of thief in the neighborhood so if they come around here i can show the police who it is. I really like that I don't need the internet to use it. Just plug and play.
Our old systems was blurry and not very good reception. This camera has excellent pictures, the sound works really well and we are very pleased since our building is very old and there is a lot of concrete and brick to work around.
I bought this about a week or so ago. Overall I'm happy with this system. It was not that expensive with easy set up. I was quite impressed with daytime picture quality along with decent night time vision. Viewing range is good. The monitor fits well on my night stand although wish it was a touch screen. Mobile viewing would've also been a great feature but overall a good product. Will definitely add 2 more cameras to complete the system.
Pros; easy to set up, literally plug and play, the price, camera is clear, intercom is clear when listening, the monitor is the perfect size, the motion detection is good, I like the recording options; timer, motion or continuous, SD card viewing is easy to find and convenient. It works for what we need it so I am happy with this purchase. Cons: cant mount from the ceiling, monitor goes out of range from a short distance if too far away from cameras, night vision is good but movement isnt clear and its delayed, cameras are not waterproof and the intercom is mutes if the other person speaks immediately after you, paper manual not included.
