Pretty good system for the price
on February 19, 2016
Posted by: Greystroke
from Spring Hill, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This system has 8 1080P cameras so I had to manually run a lot of wires in the attic. Each of the 8 cables has a BNC cable and a power cable. Resolution is pretty good and I was surprised that the night vision was pretty good.
The setup sheets are enough to get the system running but to fully learn the system, you will have to study the manuals which are available on the Web.
The IOS software for my iPhone is not very good. Not much capability and no chance to monitor all 8 cameras at the same time. The remote PC software is very good and for the most part mirrors the DVR software which is viewed on an external TV.
Here is what I wanted in a system. When my ADT alarm goes off the monitoring station calls me and I want to see if a break in occurred before calling the Police. Even the IOS software fulfils that goal.
As a bonus when I leave on a trip I can set some or all of the cameras motion detectors to send me an e-mail automatically with still pictures of the intruders. More than likely the pictures will arrive on my iPhone before the ADT monitors notify me. It is very fast.
I installed the DVR in a closet near the ceiling so it would be out of the way and hard for intruders to find it. It is also in a locked room.
I am still learning about the system. I did not have to call the help lines
The DVR makes a noise that is probably from an internal fan. It would bother me except I have it tucked away in a closet so I can barely hear it now. The noise is much greater than my Dish DVR.

Ok so Far

This over the range microwave was special ordered for my Motor Home. I had a recessed space of 30 inches to install it but I had two problems. 1. not only would it have to be installed in a 30 inch space but the door would also have to open in the 30 inch recession. 2 The vent would have to vent straight out(horizontal) the front since there was no outside venting. Most will vent out the front but only "UP." This is the only model I could find to fulfill the two requirements.
The oven arrived with a broken fan housing(very thin plastic). So I re-enforced it with JB Weld to increase it's strength. Also I had to hold in place with Gorilla tape to stop movement since only 2 small screws hold it in place.
It replaced a Sharp Convection that worked but had broken plastic parts that were discontinued. The current replacement convection that I thought about also had discontinued parts. The selection of this oven was because it is the only one that will work and still get parts for it.
Sharp customer service seems hard to deal with. I prefer Whirlpool.
My recommendation is for motorhomes/trailers only in recessed areas.

Great Bedroom TV

Can't think of anything negative about this purchase. I didn't really need a smart TV but I guess you get a better processor and it shows in Pix quality. Depending on what you like it has quite a few Pix adjustments to satisfy you. Very happy with this purchase.

Included was a Digital download but I haven't tried it yet. Like having both a Blue Ray and Standard Copy.
Great story line although it may offend some people. Just like a great movie. I only buy the great ones.

Shows next turn even if it hundreds of miles away.
Extremely fast startup using new technology.
Shows both speed limit and speed and a red warning if you exceed the limit.

Good voice reproduction
