Cheap connector - had to re-solder the camera for the system to work!

The connection for the camera does not work. First, the plastic connector is difficult to insert into the pins because the connector doesn't have enough room in the port. Second, as others have pointed out, the connector's pins do not remain in the connector head. To get it working I had to remove each of the 4 pins from the connector, then use thermal tape as insulation (to keep them from shorting) and connect them individually. I then had to tie these little wires to the power connector to keep them from moving or coming out of the connector. The two-second connection to connect the camera took over an hour. I thought $80 for a basic camera system had some quality, but no. If you don't want to reconnect the camera connector, save yourself the time and hassle and buy another model.

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
