ANTONLINE ARE CHEATERS DON'T BUY FROM THIS COMPANY, THEY WILL NOT DELIVER THE PRODUCT AS DESCRIBED AND WILL GIVE YOU HARD TIME AND AMAZON WILL SUPPORT THE SELLER AND NOT YOU THE BUYER AND YOU WILL END UP FRUSTATED AND WILL BE FORCED TO KEEP THE ITEM AS IT WAS SENT WITHOUT ANY REGARD AT THE MONEY YOU PAID AND THE UNDER PRODUCT YOU WILL RECEIVE, TAKE MY ADVICE, ANTONLINE WILL NOT DELIVER THE PRODUCT AS IT WAS DESCRIBED.
The main reason is that the device will sometimes randomly stop recording. The mounting brackets for the cameras are top-notch. The fix is easy, however, just turn it off and back on. You can split up the total of 60 fps anyway you want among the 4 cameras.
I have to say that the DVR is feature-rich. The DVR is the expensive part. Thankfully, I do not use the remote very often. Any IR light will reflect off glass, so the manufacturer is not to blame.
So you need to put the cameras outside, or cover the IR lights, or just not record in the dark. I was worried the wires would not be long enough for me to put cameras at each end of my house and still hook it up to the TV, but I had plenty of wire.My two complaints are (1) the remote control sometimes has problems. What it does is sometimes activates the controls of a nearby button. For example, pressing play will sometimes make the video fast forward instead. This is pricey, but compared to other products in this category it is not that bad.
However, I wish there were a way to turn off the IR lights. Instead I put electrical tape over the lights, and it works fine (with no IR of course). In daylight the picture is excellent. I have two cameras recording at 20 fps, and two recording at 10 fps. (2) This isn't specific to this item, but just a word of caution that I put some of the cameras indoors, looking outside through a window. Everything was plug-and-play. Even though it records up to 60 fps, the real-time video is better than 20 fps in all cameras.I have my settings set to the highest quality video, recording day and night, and I get about a week of history before it starts writing over the oldest video.
It seems to be ok if you press the buttons slowly and hard, but you shouldn't have to do that. At night, the infrared lights come on and reflect off the window so that there is no picture. Not bad.Edit after owning it for a few months:I should lower the rating to three stars. The other thing is that the DVR is also pretty loud (just an annoyance).
This product is advertised with 4 Sony Brand Cameras Yet is shipped with Q-see Brand Cameras to some it might not matter but I expect what I pay for all attempts to contact anyone to complain has failed.THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT JIPPING THERE CUSTOMERS Camera price difference is A considerable $150.00 Difference
