Not a lot one can say, these type expenders are basic and simply. Run one Ethernet Cable to it and connect up to four more devices. No set-up, programing - UPNP.

Simply Coverage

Good all around system for inside or out, 720HD gives good pictures and with night vision and some planning, vision of the comings and going will be covered. I placed them out side for coverage around the house, garage, driveway and entry doors. They are hardwired camera's, in my book are best over wireless, only way to take these out is cut the wire so, concealment of the wire is a must. Once connected and you start up the DVR everything is automatic, just set-up a user password and the defaults are set to record by motion, you can have all 8 views up as the same size or a few choices, like one bigger view of the camera of choice with the rest around the sides. You can even set it the every few seconds to minutes the change between the view as a full screen view. To change, click and hold the view, drag to the bigger view and the two views switch, double click for full screen, easy as that. Lot's of other features.....

Strange this is a new item and it is highly discounted. Think you would discount a older item. And no reviews on the net. I bought one anyway. Can always take it back. Im curious if they will still carry it at the normal price when sale ends.

They do bring new items in like this and basically it just like most of there other unit's just difference hard drive size, 720HD camera's not 1080HD so fourth. Good around system at a good price, even if it's not a Black Friday price.

The system comes with 60 foot cables (1) Is the distance limited to 60 feet or can extension cables be added in order to increase distance? (2) if so is there a maximum distance?

I think it is 300 feet for each channel, I add 100 feet to five of the channels, 25ft to one and the last two are the 60 feet...... works great..... shop for the extension cables....

Motion is for recording, the camera DRV comes default to record motion, you can record 24/7 to not at all for each channel......

How long will it record for before it runs out of memory

Depends, but they listed up to 14 days, you only record when something passes in found of a camera and you can set each one for live view only to times frame, so it depends...

Do you need a monthly service with this device? Can the Geek Squad install this?

No service I found needed, you can have the DVR sent emails/texts of event to you, there's an app for most cell phones. As far as install, there's a slip the comes with it for install, not free I believe, I did not check it out that deeply. I did not see anything for the GEEk Sq to install.....
