Not fully 1080p! on Video Surveillance Equipment

I never write reviews for Revain but after purchasing this camera system I felt like I was misled and should warn others. The camera system is advertised as having 8 cameras and 1080p resolution. Unfortunately, you can really only operate 4 cameras with 1080p! With more than 4 cameras, it only records in 1080n, which is about half the quality of 1080p. NOBODY in the product description even mentions 1080n as an option. I switched from an old 960h system to what I thought was 1080p, but the video quality didn't really improve after switching to 1080n. Let me tell you how excited I was that I had to remove all the cameras and cables I had installed when I realized it wasn't 1080p. Likewise. The mobile app was terrible. And no. I am not technically illiterate. I've been using the mobile app for my old system for 3 years and this app blew me away.

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Protection
