Mixed results with setup and features

This 4K system offers clear images, long-range visibility, continuous recording, and decent night vision. However, setup is difficult due to nearly nonexistent instructions, requiring a monitor and often tech support. Many advertised features are missing or nonfunctional, and the included software was incompatible, needing remote installation. Connectivity issues with computers and phones occurred. The four dome cameras had to be exchanged because infrared reflections ruined night vision, low-light color doesn't work, and fans are noisy. Recording required tech support to start.

Pros
  • + clear picture
  • + long-range visibility
  • + continuous recording
  • + decent night vision
Cons
  • − almost nonexistent instructions
  • − missing or nonfunctional features
  • − incompatible software
  • − connectivity problems
  • − infrared reflections ruining night vision
  • − no low-light color
  • − noisy fans
  • − recording required tech support
