Nice idea but you get what you pay for February 9, 2010 Wildcat (USA) I purchases this for the sole purpose of residential security. Amazon did a great job at getting the product to me extremely quickly. The setup for this system is really simple based on the fact of siamese cable (BNC & power) being bundled with the package. In other words you have everything you need to get going. However after everything was setup was where I started to see issues. The main problems I experienced were:
1) Cam resolution is very low
2) DVR kept shutting down without warning or reason
3) DVR resolution is low (352x which is then interpolated to full screen)
4) 2 cameras died after a day or two
Needless to say you unfortunately seem to get what you pay for. To put it in perspective a full D1 (720x resolution) DVR would set you back at least $500 by itself with individual cameras (decent quality like CNB etc) being $200 each plus cables etc. So with that said as long as you don't expect high quality capture, great night vision then you may be okay with this. Similarly you can always by this as a starter set then switch out the cams however my major concerns were with the quality of the product after some of the issues seen which is what forced me to return this (bad DVR and 2 cams).
Would recommend looking elsewhere unless your needs are very basic.
Also of note finally is the Mobile Phone view and remote view. You can watch the cams remotely via iPhone as long as you use a 3rd party Apple Store App and have remote access to your DVR (use Dynamic DNS to set this up). For remote view (using an Internet browser) you must have one that supports ActiveX so anyone using a MAC you will either need you use Parallels or Fusion with Windows and IE or move to a PC to accomplish this.
Useless January 30, 2010 R. S. Jones (St. Louis, MO) No support.
No answer on phone...
Total frustration getting the internet view going.
I made the mistake of buying 5 of them at once.
Can't see from internet. January 27, 2010 John V (Cleveland., OH United States) Can anyone help?. Some say tech support was great. Where can I find a phone number or e-mail?
I can see the cameras local LAN. But when I try outside, from work, I get the log in screen that only ask for a password. when I put it in it says 'Log in failed"
What am I doing wrong. This manual is not very helpful.
Gets the job done January 26, 2010 B. Harty (Northern California) I got this security system for my store that I'm opening and needed a system that fit the rest of my budget. I'm not one that has super high expectations for a $400 security system, but you truly get what you pay for.
It seems that I got the only system in the bunch that has some defects. For instance, one of the cameras keeps flickering out and the night vision doesn't work after 10 or so minutes, resulting in the DVR resetting/freezing. Speaking of which, the DVR randomly restarts and takes a few minutes to boot back up. I'm not sure if I just got a lemon, or the quality of the product is poor, but the DVR definitely doesn't feel very durable.
Also, the manual and BIOS seem to be written by a kid who just learned to speak English, and after applying some of the limited options, you are greeted with just one button to select --> which says "Sure" instead of "OK" or "Exit". <-- That might be a little trivial, but it just feels unprofessional on top of navigating the clunky BIOS.
I've tried looking for the contact details for the manufacturer regarding warranty information, but the best I could find was an email address.
Some of the things that I DO like, however, are that the cameras themselves feel heavy enough to throw through a window and still be okay (Even though one of my cameras is defective).
The night vision is indeed more than I expected and the video resolution seems to be good too.
All in all, I would probably not recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable solution, especially since you have to buy some extra parts (flash drive, monitor) if you ever need to put an incident onto a computer to be burned to disk. The DVR keeps resetting and freezing at random intervals, and you just never know if when it decides to do that you're risking the loss of any video evidence you might of otherwise obtained from a different unit.
It gets the job done, but don't expect something that will last forever.
Don't buy this January 14, 2010 L T 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Picture quality is so so, when playback the review, one of the 4 cameras take turn to be blackout without seeing images for few minutes.
System had been installed, I don't want to waste money again to hired a tech guy to uninstall for return.
