Review on ๐Ÿ“ท Expandable 1080P Wireless Security Camera System - Full HD CCTV NVR Surveillance with 2.0MP IP Cameras, Night Vision, Weatherproof, Motion Detection, Remote Monitoring by Vincent Lott

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I like the system in Security & Surveillance

I gave it 5 stars for hardware and installation in the following areas:1. Hardware Installation: It comes with a quick installation guide and is very easy to get started. I bought one without a hard drive because I have a spare 1TB SATA hard drive. After formatting, the hard drive works fine.2. Network Configuration: No network setup or device pairing required. As long as the device is connected to the router, I can use IP Pro to add the NVR device with a QR code and control the cameras online.3. Email Notification: This is the number one feature I look for when choosing an NVR. The motion sensor and email notification are very easy to set up. The image I've attached is an email notification. It would be nice to be able to get at least a couple of snaps for each event: one before motion detection, one in the middle of motion, and one after motion detection. However, this appears to be a feature of the 3rd party IP Pro software and requires a separate review of the IP Pro software. I am happy with the SmartSF hardware so far.4. Image quality: 2 MP quality, day resolution is good. For nighttime images, since it depends on the amount of heat of the object, it would be unfair to evaluate them based on the nighttime image. I need to experiment more and continue working on this feature later. Quiet: I used to have an 8 channel Swan DVR and it is very noisy because it generates a lot of heat and has a noisy fan to keep it cool. The SmartSF NVR unit is very quiet and you will not hear any noise during operation. I like it! I intend to write the following review: 1. Customer / Technical Service. The information provided by the seller in their product description on Revain states that we can get free lifetime technical support. I will have to try it.2. IP Pro software. This is third-party software and requires a separate review on how to better serve the SmartSF system.
