Review on ๐Ÿ“ท JideTech Home Security Camera System Outdoor: 8 Channel Wireless WiFi Surveillance Cameras - 1080P HD Bullet Camera NVR with Night Owl, Motion Activated - 4 Camera (No Hard Drive) by Ashwin Worlds

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to install and great night vision

The product was packaged neatly and when I took it out I found the cameras to be quite sturdy. It includes mounting screws but it seems to me that the anchors are for concrete/brick and not drywall, but you can get drywall anchors, they're pretty cheap and easy to find anyway, all is good enough to mount the camera on the wall to keep it as it is. Not hard. I didn't buy the hard drive version, so I need to install a hard drive. It has mounting holes for a 2.5" or 3.5" drive. My disc hasn't arrived yet, but the NVR works without a disc - as long as you don't need to record. The NVR and cameras are preconfigured to work together, so it's pretty much plug and play. Set up the cameras, connect the power and you have video (almost) immediately. It's a lot easier than wired cameras and installing an Ethernet cable from a PoE switch, which is a lot harder than just finding the nearest outlet. The power supply cords (appears to be 3ft) are short, but an extension cord (for 12v) is cheap and readily available. I installed one of the cameras in front of my bedroom to see which of my cats are scratching the door at night. The video (ignore the stripe patterns as I'm recording my cheap monitor with my phone, the patterns aren't from a camera/DVR) is shot at night and shows exactly what I expect to see - my cat trying to open the door like this open as clearly as possible. The four giant IR LEDs on the camera make night scenes very clear without actually illuminating the area. This is one of the clearest night vision cameras I have ever used. You can also watch videos with the app, making it convenient. Definitely recommended for excellent night vision and easy installation.
