Review on Tonton 2K Wireless Security Camera System With Dual WiFi, PIR Sensor, And Color Night Vision - 8 Bullet Floodlight Cameras, 10CH 5MP NVR With 2TB HDD, 2 Way Audio by Kevin Hernandez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So far - good quality for the price.

I read the reviews from some here and there were comments about the setup being difficult. While I did have to read through the instructions I can understand why some would say setup is a little challenging. Fortunately I have had some experience setting up a DVR camera security system for our HOA clubhouse and pool so everything went OK. You need to determine where to set up your DVR so it has hardwire Internet access and proximity to a HDTV monitor or VGA monitor. HDMI works best. The location of the DVR needs to be in central location in your house/building so the wireless cameras all are in range. There is a hardwire option (Ethernet) or you can configure one of the remote cameras to act as a repeater for those cameras that are out of range. I am taking my time setting up 2 cameras per day at each location on my house and so far I have had no range issues. The instructions mention that two walls can cause difficulties but I have put two cameras three walls between my cameras and the DVR and the signal is good. The only minor complaints I have is the cameras come preprogrammed and are assigned specific camera numbers and they are not marked. So I had to plug in each camera and when they booted I had to mark the camera number on the label on each camera so I could determine placement. I also had one camera missing the mounting hardware. The cameras were a little bigger than I expected and are very noticeable. I guess in a way that is a good thing as it would deter a crook from approaching the property. Night vision works a lot better than I expected. The IsmKit online app I loaded on my phone works well. I can hear activity outside when enabling the microphone on a camera. I did have a connection issue when I tried using the app away from my house but there may have been a cloud server outage - will try again later and may need to update my review if I have additional problems. There are a lot of nice features with the DVR sending alarms when motion is detected and the technology mentions it is smart enough to eliminate false swarms (rain, bugs, spider webs). I will test this later. Overall I am impressed with the quality and think the cost is reasonable for what you get. UPDATE: a few days after I installed the last pair of cameras, the last camera I installed failed. The audio worked but no video. All I could get on video were some vertical lines. I did all the troubleshooting I could and reached out to revain. They went through their checklist but could not help. They gave me a credit and I ordered a replacement. Synching the replacement camera was easy. One feature about these cameras is i can speak to anyone within 10 feet of the camera. There is a slight delay but I understand this since the cameras are set up for Wi-Fi. The only feature I would like to see added is the ability to slow remote users access to one camera i choose. Currently there is no way to restrict remote access to each camera for read only and playback. It is all cameras or none. One of my cameras in our back yard also covers our HOA clubhouse and our HOA could benefit from the ability to review videos recorded from that camera. So far i am pleased with the performance of the system. I did work with the manufacturer tech support when I had problems with the failed camera and they provided the camera firmware I needed to reinstall the firmware on the camera. I will add another update as time goes on.
