Did my research online and YouTube which prompted me to buy this NEW item from Lorex at BestBuy, took me awhile to make a decision in store and so I finally purchased this product due to that I will be leaving home for three months and I wanted to monitor and keep my home safe. There was just too much wiring and devices that got me all confused but managed to assemble the DVR and cameras, I first tested the cameras a couple of feet away from the DVR and extender, looked clear and crisp but when you manually zoom in, the picture quality gets distorted and blurry to the point where you can't read license plates or even house numbers on my block. Keep in mind that the product stated 500 feet range between the camera and DVR/extender, after setting three cameras downstairs (1 front door, 1 back door and 1 garage door) and upstairs (1 front door), I was able to view remotely the downstairs front and garage doors and upstairs front door but was unable to view downstairs back door, I was getting camera off line or no connection on my iPhone app via the Lorex app, I tried moving the camera up and down, side to side and even rotated the antenna in all sorts of directions to try and get connection but failed to do so. I live in Hawaii, so my house and most houses are wood framed, I don't see any reason why or how the connection could have been blocked off, especially for a 500 feet range, anyways - back to BBuy to return this product and do more extensive research for other reliable cameras to monitor my home before I leave, aloha and have a blessed day.
My Best Buy number: 0537614459
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does this system have audio and are cameras weatherproof?
There are weatherproof, as far as audio - no where on the website or box does it say audio but in the settings there is an option for audio which doesn't work as I have tested this option out.
