[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 2-Way Audio 12 Channel DVR Security System was a little daunting for the technologically challenged, but I followed the directions and highly recommend! It is easy to use and love the security and ease of mind. I’m also enjoying seeing the night life around me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice video security system

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This video camera security system has been pretty nice so far. Out of the box, it seemed like it should be pretty easy to set up once I determine how I'd place my cameras.
This is a wired system, meaning you must run wires to/from each camera to its main hub. I do wish there was a wireless option since I don't want to run wires all around my home. This limited me in where I'd place my cameras. It is nice that they provide the harnesses for the plugs so you can tie it all into one plug. I was able to network the main hub into my router. It was a little difficult getting things to connect and sync with the app on my phone. After a few tries I was connected.
I do feel the cameras are a little lacking in the viewing space. They should be more of a wide angle view because when you mount these, there are blind spots below and to the sides of the camera. This was a little disappointing as I couldn't get a full view of my driveway and garage. Other than that, the camera quality is good, picks up sound and motion like you want with a security system.
I'd recommend this to someone who was fine running wires, I feel it may be more suited for a business than a home but it is adequate for either. I'd like to see the option to add wireless cameras to reduce running wires thru walls and such. Overall it does the job and I have been happy with it since installing.

Positives of this product are that the color and picture clarity is good. Easy to install, connects to both monitor and phone app.
Negatives of this product is that video relay to screen is a little delayed and the wide angle distortion starts to far from the camera for our needs.

I bought this one in March of 2024. It was easy to set up and worked great till July of 2025. The hard Drive went out and was making a low tone noise. I thought I had upgraded but it went out way too soon.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

NOT A GOOD UPGRADE
on October 5, 2023
Posted by: Daabomb114
I upgraded this system from c20x version because of the audio aspect. I thought you would be able to export all 8 hours(for example) to a usb drive like the c20x version.. NOPE Its only by events. You cant even select multiple events at a time. Its just one at a time. THIS IS A HUGE SOFTWARE FLAW! FIX THIS!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Amazing features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had just moved into a new house and a new to us neighborhood where we don’t know our neighbors well or what goes on around here especially when we aren’t home. My husband and I decided to hook up this security system with 4 cameras. It was easy to install and easy to download onto our phones. It is easy to set up from your mobile device. I like that it has a 2 way radio for you to listen or talk. I also like the spotlight feature and that the video is in full color. Another good feature is that you get voice alerts or you can send out a warning to unwanted guests. Everything is nice and convenient and we feel a lot safer knowing who is on or near our property. I definitely recommend this product to others.

The DVR is working great. Only have one negative comment. The unit supports 10 cameras. I am using 6. I cannot find a way to disable the other 4 unused cameras and they fill one third of the TV screen with unused blank camera spaces. Other than that a good security system.
