Some of you may remember that my mom died in April of this year. I inherited her house, (along with my brothers and sisters)... but since I live the closest to it, I get to do all the maintenance, lawn mowing, etc. Got to thinking about security since the house is not far from a major college and an empty house is always an invitation to kids and parties... Anyways, because of that I bought this system about 2 months ago.

Been nothing by happy with it. 8 cameras, color, IR for night as well as daytime viewing. SUPER EASY to set up. And most importantly, I can view the house from my computer (or my smartphone with a free downloadable app from them) from my own house. Plus you can set the system to transmit an alarm or email to you if certain cameras detect motion. So the ones inside the house are set to do just that. Much better piece of mind knowing that the house is secure just by looking at it.
Oh, and to set it up, you just go to their site, enter the serial number of your system, and their cloud does all the set up and everything. All you have to do is watch the pics.. No DHCP setup, no internet addresses, etc. SIMPLE!!!
(And most importantly, no bullet holes and a trash can for the system)
Truthfully, the cameras lack a little in sharpness during nighttime viewing, but other than that they work just fine. I can easily watch and tell which neighbors cats and raccoons are in the back yard both day and night. 65 foot range on the cameras, and 65 foot wire from the camera to the DVR. 1 TB hard drive in the system, and you can set it to automatically delete data after x amount of days, or just save the data, or you can transfer it to an external hard drive or DVD.. all by USB ports on the unit. Comes with ererything you need. Only thing I found that I didn't really like was you HAVE to use Internet Explorer to contact their site.. Google Chrome and FireFox don't seem to work right on their system.. other than that it's a no brainer.
