Some useful tips to avoid problems.

They recommend testing the system prior to installation. This is a very important step for several reasons. The 60 foot cables have a camera end and a DVR end. He is not marked. With everything connected and working on the workbench, be sure to tag the camera base, camera end cable, and DVR end with the appropriate connector it plugs into on the DVR. Also, mark the cable at the end of the camera with an easily recognizable identifier. I used GREEN tape. If you hide the wires like me, you don't want to run 60 feet of wire through the attic etc. only to find out you pulled the wrong end. I've completed the installation but haven't delved into the manual yet (I'm scared of that part). As a general rule, what I consider FAQs is not what the manufacturer thinks I want to know first. This system's cameras have a built-in light that can be turned on and off with the app, but I want it to turn on when I move. Adjusting the amount of movement to trigger recording and notification should be easy to find. I haven't come across that yet. I currently have a web and blower blades running the system.

Pros
  • Ball chambers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
