A huge waste of money and risk to your privacy

If you like wasting money then this product is for you! I'm going to tell you step by step how terrible this product really is. First, the delivery was on time and on time (thanks Amazon!). When you opened the Amazon box, you noticed that the product box itself had no model or serial numbers at all. which have about 8 other boxes in two big ones. Each of the boxes contains cameras and charging cables as well as a base station. As soon as you open the box and get everything ready to be plugged in, you'll find that the cables are so short that you'll need an extension cord to connect each individual cable. This applies to all cameras as well as the main unit. Then, with everything hooked up and you've spent about $80 on extension cords, you'll finally connect the cameras and boot up the receiver (which conveniently has a mouse but no HDMI cable at all, so you'll need to buy one of those.) All the cameras are associated with a home screen with rather annoying and old menus. You download the smartphone app only to be greeted by Chinese people. A few clicks and he installs another application in horrible English. After trying to set everything up so that you can view the cameras from your smartphone and enable the remote recording capabilities, you'll find that this device doesn't even come with Wi-Fi and you're expected to connect it to one Connect an Ethernet port to access your cameras wirelessly. Although the menu says there is a Wi-Fi feature, there actually isn't, except for the Wi-Fi connection from the cameras to the main receiver. Finally, by registering on the app, you agree to porting all your data, including IP addresses, MAC addresses, IMEI numbers, and even videos from the security cameras that are going to record you. Huge red flags and definitely nothing I would like to plant anywhere near me, around my home or business. All in all, this is the worst $200 + $80 (extension cord) + $22 (HDMI cable) I've ever spent. I am returning it today and never want to do business with this company again. I recommend saving your money and looking elsewhere for a different security configuration. Preferably a trusted person or from your country of residence.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • so far so good
