poor instructions and junk

This is the most disappointing purchase I have made in the past couple years. The instructions were worthless. They said if I had any problems just call them. There was no number or e-mail address anywhere in the instructions. I found a manual on line and got the system set up. I would not recomend this system to anyone.

Good tech support-easy 2 setup

All of the cameras worked the second we plugged them in. It took a bit to get the pic right side up in some places. The color is off-sort of a green tinge, but U can tell who's being videoed. Have sneak thief in family. One camera is in back of large storage cabinet-can't be seen, very dark, but it captures the front door about 25 ft away. Will replace that with quality dome camera, it's good enough to take to police to get restraining and trespass order. I have xtra electricity in me-I make blue sparks and DVR flipped to Chinese and funny screen-not an unusual thing for me. Tech stayed online for 2 hours finding Chinese manual and collating it with English- I will be buying more First Alert products. I'm thinking that I should wear rubber gloves when near the DVR.

Pretty Decent for the Money you Spend

The software is a little slow when you are doing certain things like looking up past days or hours for review. But other than that it works just like the specs said it all should, decent enough. Nothing special in this deal other than the price and the 8 channel box. Cameras are decent.

Good starter kit

Excellent starter kit for home. Price is good for quality and get the jod done!

Not Great!

The night vision is horrible maybe 15ft at best. I found the wide angle not to be up to par. The color was of by far, well at least the trees and grass were off. I would look for something better!
