Review on CasaCam Wireless 4X1296P Cameras Installed by Elmito Yeager

1. This wireless camera system from Casa Cam is very professional. This is a complete system with four wireless cameras and a 10 inch monitor. It can be expanded to eight chambers.3. Three cameras are night vision cameras.4. A camera is a "floodlight" camera.5. All four cameras have excellent video quality for both day and night vision.6. This system differs from previous CasaCam.7 systems. If you are familiar with CasaCam VS1002 or CasaCam VS802 systems, you will be amazed at the improvement in video quality.8. The interface of this system is completely different. This system does not have a touch screen but is entirely mouse controlled. Mouse included.9. the recording, Playback and alarm time options are very high quality. ten. You can schedule a recording time or an alarm notification time from the calendar menu, which allows you to easily drag and drop your selected days and times. This can be done for each individual camera. You can also easily copy information to one or more cameras.11. This system has a 1 terabyte Western Digital hard drive installed in the monitor. This will give you around three weeks of uninterrupted 24/7 recording.12. The playback menu is great and uses two different color schemes, yellow for motion alerts and green for continuous recording. You can play either motion alerts, continuous recordings, or both.13. The playback menu shows the calendar and the recording event log. You can search by specific date and time or select from event log to view entries.14. In playback mode, you can easily find a specific time by switching playback from day to hour. With the slider, you can drag the mouse to find the exact time.15. The 10-inch monitor features a very stable, adjustable stand that can be placed on a tabletop or mounted on a wall.16. The monitor has an HDMI port, so you can add an external monitor for a larger view.17. Each camera has a speaker and a microphone. So you can hear what's going on or talk to someone.18. There are many advanced menu options that can confuse you. Most of these options are not required to take full advantage of this camera system.19. If you already have a CasaCam VS1002 or CassCam VS802 and want to upgrade to this system, the power supplies and mounting brackets are the same so you can easily swap out the camera.20. Customer service is excellent. The CasaCam team was very helpful and always answered all my questions.21. Conclusion: This is a very advanced camera system. Once you get the hang of using the mouse and know the basic menu items, you can enjoy this system to the fullest. This is a wireless system. This means that the cameras do not have to be connected directly to the monitor. The cameras must be connected to the power supply and the monitor must be connected to an electrical outlet. Keep in mind that just like a radio or TV, sometimes the signal drops out, resulting in video loss. This happens with all wireless systems. MY TIP: 1. Always adjust the volume before playing. You cannot change the volume in the playback menu.2. Always note the date and time of your playback in the playback menu. If you right-click, you exit the playback menu. Memorizing the time helps you go back to what you were watching if you accidentally press "Right".3. In the "Camera and Display" menu, go to the "Display" submenu and set the "Resolution" to 1024x768. Other resolution settings will change the aspect ratio and some menu items will be cut off or not fully visible.4. If you don't have access to the attic or don't know how or don't want to drill the wall to route the camera cable, you can install the camera outside the window and run the cable through the top of the attic window. The wire is thin enough and strong enough, so you can close and latch the window with just a small portion of wire crimped through the window. Run the cord inside to the nearest outlet and you're done. Memorizing the time helps you go back to what you were watching if you accidentally press "Right".3.
