I found out that my neighbor enjoys my garden as much as I do.ġ. Sleek high quality printed cardboard packaging, that my cat loves to play in.Ħ. It appears to have a fairly responsive support team (I have not contacted them yet.)ĥ. Once you have your cameras set, hook it up to a monitor connect the mouse and power supplies and voila! It works!Ĥ. I insisted on running all of my wires through the attic and into the basement without cutting drywall, so I made it fairly challenging. A complete all inclusive security system with an app for live monitoring.Ģ.
This review is from Night Owl - C20X Series 8-Channel, 4-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wired 1080p 1TB DVR Surveillance System - White/Blackġ. I would not want my grandmother trying to figure this thing out. Maybe too quirky for "I'm not good with technology" people. One is available ? The BNC connections on the back of the device are pretty close together, a little tricky to use adjacent inputs without very small fingers.
The system did not include a manual beyond the very basic "plug this in here" directions. The odd quirks.the format of navigating the screens and reviewing recorded files is a little clunky - at least if using direct from DVR to a monitor (I haven't tried the app yet, it may be more user friendly). (In my case I am trying to catch someone, not scare them away, so I like this). Can be set to record 24/7, or motion based initiation. if you only want them running from 11pm to 5 am, etc).
Software allows you to tailor scheduled recording, to make efficient use of storage space (i.e. Size of hard drive is perfectly adequate for residential, or light commercial needs.
Includes 60' power/signal cable and (very) basic mounting hardware for camera baseplate. With that being said you will either have to run a Ethernet cable to the router or place the dvr in the same room as the router.
Also, keep in mind that this system is hard wired to your network through a Ethernet cable. However if you would like a system that allows you to have 2 way conversation this is not the system for you. This system for the price is well work the money. I am a certified security installer and I have installed hundreds of systems. You will not need to buy BNC connectors due to the system coming with them. I personally recommend the insignia 100ft extension cables. It is your responsibility to purchase additional wires to reach the length of your home or business. Also keep in mind that when you read the product description it tells you the length of the words that are included. Also, when you are pulling the cables through you will need to make sure that you use a glow rod to snake it properly, and electrical tape to tape the cable to the rod to ensure that it does not pull on the ends of the wire. This app has a large x in the middle with an eye on each side of the letter. Be sure that plying download the night owl x app to monitor the cameras. I have read the other reviews and I am not sure what the issues are that they are having.
