Just a monitor, doing monitor things with its monitor buddies. Would not not recommend to a friend. Great for viewing "things" with your "friends". Or just watching cat videos with your cats.

These are a pretty decent pair of speakers. If you are in the market for some after markets, and don't want to add an amp for them, these are great. You definitely will want a sub woofer in conjunction with these, but they sound great either way. Can't go too wrong with Alpine.

I have set up and used about 10 of these systems now, the last 2 have been the 1080p versions. They are great cameras, easy to use and set up, and the video quality is fantastic. Highly recommend.

I was comparing the DJI3 Standard with this one, and they both seemed to be fantastic drones. I went with this one, because for one, the Camera was a 4k, and also, you could remove the camera and put your own on there. I didn't like the idea of my phone being the controller, but it is user friendly and really responsive. Great job on this one. Very happy with it so far. I have probably only flown it for about 5 hours maybe.

When the success of your next quest hangs in the balance, or only one more hairpin turn stands between you and first place. When the clock is running out and your team must defend that flag at all costs, or the next combo attack could either be your greatest or your last. When the on-screen action is intense, nothing matters more to the success of your game than the relationship you have with the controller in your hands. The DualShock family of controllers has always brought you innovative features and precise control. The DualShock 4 is no different and brings an exciting array of additional features that are designed to usher your gaming experience into the next generation. With these additions, the DualShock 4 Controller becomes an extension of your brain, turning every move of your fingers into an accurate performance in the game — and in your hands, accurate performance can only mean victory.How gamers use a controller is being redefined right before our very eyes as the next generation of consoles also redefines many other aspects of gaming. The DualShock 4 controller is equipped with a multitouch touch pad on the face of the controller, opening up a new world of gameplay. The integrated light bar generates a rainbow of colors and works with your favorite games to enable innovative gaming experiences. The DualShock 4's share button lets you upload screenshots and video of epic gaming moments or live-stream sessions with your pals — with the press of a button. Besides all of the new innovations, the DualShock 4 controller improves features from past controllers, such as the feel, shape and sensitivity of the dual analog sticks and trigger buttons for enhanced control and a built-in speaker and stereo headset jack for flexible audio options. The future of gaming is now, and the features of this controller live up to the hype.

I had to buy another controller because mine went out on me. I bought the play station the first month it was out, and that was the original controller. That thing has been through countless long games of zombies and what not. Needless to say, this thing has been beat up over the years. It is just barely having issues. That says a lot for Sony. Great job making an awesome system with great components!

Spot unusual activity in your home or business with this eight-channel Night Owl video security system. It comes with four 1080p cameras with motion-activated recording and 100-foot night vision to provide clear footage in Full HD. This Night Owl video security system has 1TB of hard drive storage and is expandable up to 4TB.
 

What equipment and services do i need to already have for these cameras to work?

You really just need an internet connection for it via Ethernet. A general knowledge of how to plug things in and the ability to download a free app! It is really simple and easy to use. I have set up about 20 of these systems and they are really easy. You just have to plug in the DVR to power, connect it to your router via ethernet cable (does not have WiFi) and then plug all the cameras into the DVR. The camera wires also need power, so it will use 2 power plugs. One for the cameras and one for the DVR. Gets tricky when you are trying to get clever on trying to hid everything. I believe in you though! Best thing about this system is there is no monthly subscription or anything like that. Once you buy the system you can access them anywhere anytime for free. Great cameras. High quality, great picture, and easy set up.

Can I connect a microphone to the DVR

There are 4 audio inputs on the DVR itself along with one audio output.

Is the system battery operated

No it is not. It needs to be plugged into an outlet. There are 2 plugs for it, one for the 4 cameras (will need to add another if adding more than the 4 cameras) and one for the DVR itself. You can add a back up battery for it in case the power goes out, but that will last you maybe a half hour without power going to it. The camera wire and power for the camera run in the same cable.

only need three cameras. need 100 foot cable for one of them, so can I connect two of the 60 foot cables together?

Yes, you need an adapter for it. BNC to BNC adapter. It can only go so far, so don't try connecting more than 2. You can also buy a BNC cable that will be that long too. if you are going to the hassle of setting up cameras, you might as well utilize the 4 it comes with and get a longer cable to run for the one. You are going to have to buy that adapter anyways. Plus I am sure you can think of another place for that camera.

Does the system has any type of alarm?

closest to an alarm you would get on this is if you set up the notifications. It is called an alarm, but it basically a feature on the app that will notify you if a camera detects motion and starts recording. This is a nice feature to turn on if you are expecting a package or something, but I normally don't use it. It is not connected to a security panel or anything, so no alarm noises or anything. I would recommend getting a smart home system for that, or have a company that monitors and will notify the police / fire station.

These speakers feature 6-1/2" poly-mica woofer cones and 1" silk swivel soft-dome tweeters that deliver powerful, smooth sound. The high-strength motor structure and high-excursion design provide accurate bass performance
 

How much does car speaker installation typically cost?

Looking to purchase 2 sets of car speakers (front and rear) for my '04 Chevy Monte Carlo SS...my stock speakers went out about a month so I've been relying on an external source for my sound....i need to know how much installation cost and will i need to purchase additional equipment for the speakers?
tooooo much, do it yourself and save some dough. It is easy. Hardest part is taking the doors off, which is usually only a couple of bolts and some clips. Youtube it.

Is an amplifier required for these speakers? I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota with the Infinity speaker system

Not required, but it wouldn't hurt them either. Coax speakers never need anything more than the head unit to power them. Of course, anything sounds better when you pump more juice to them via amp.

How much Mb does the internet velocity has to be for it to function properly? (For cable wired cameras) can a 8mb internet velocity be okay so that I may see it from any mobile device? Will it affect the quality of the image?

It should work, but it will be incredibly slow. The faster the connection on both ends ( DVR & remote viewing device) the better it will be. There are 2 settings for the quality, low quality but smoother video, and higher quality but choppier viewing. This is only for the remote viewing. When downloading video it should all be the same quality. Also, downloading video from remote device will be slow if not possible on that slow of a connection. I would just not count on being able to remotely view them if you're on a connection that slow. Great cameras though.

what is the difference between a 4-channel system and a 8 Channel system

One is only 4 cameras, and the 8 you can put up to 8 cameras. Always get more channels than you think you need. Room to upgrade. I started with 4, and added 2 more. I could add 2 more even, but I don't really have anywhere that isn't covered on the outside of my house.

Does this have the option to download an app to be able to view your footage from it?

yes sir. The app is actually pretty legit. Can't make changes to the DVR with it, like the time etc. You can easily view your cameras as long as you can coverage, and there is no monthly fee like some apps require. I would highly recommend these. Easy to use, and great app.
