Good camera system suitable for CCTV

Dude that's a lot of cameras. So far I have only installed a few. Take your time and check all viewing angles before assembly. Something must be left. The system comes with a 16-channel DVR and 4 sets of 4 cameras. Each set of 4 cameras comes as a set of 4 cameras with all cables, power supplies and mounting screws. PSUs are bulky connectors and you may need additional power strips or even better Y-split cables to power all 5 PSUs. The field cables to the cameras are listed as 60 feet, and in fact they are all at least 60 feet long. However, to my surprise and delight, the first and third boxes had much longer cables. Longer cables are probably around 100 feet long. Therefore, before installation, check the length of the cables and use longer cables if necessary. The cameras have a wide field of view, which is great. However, night vision LEDs are not wide angle. Although the scene is fairly well lit at night, there is a bright spot in the center of the field of view. You must block the field of view as needed. Another issue I have with using night vision, which I fortunately found during pre-mount testing, is that eyeball socket cameras can be angled so far that some of the plastic is visible, causing the LEDs blur the entire scene. Therefore, be careful when mounting at steep/acute angles. The DVR software is intuitive. A few right clicks and double clicks will find what you are looking for. Ethernet was easy to set up. The ethernet setup allowed me to stand next to the cameras with my tablet and line them up. Very happy with this system so far. It was great to keep track of my pets, see why my dog is barking and check on package delivery.
