Aawesome Camer

Expensive, but excellent technology

Clunky

Not consistent. Wouldn’t recommend. Loading time is horrible.

THIS NVR HAS THE BEST SETUP πŸ‘πŸ‘

This is truly plug & play. Then options are so easy to set up if desired‼️

Phenomenal

Phenomenal camera system. Always on, great pictures, I feel safe.

Sam Hanna

Good system - but unfortunately, there’s not a way to easily toggle cameras on and off if you don’t want them working. You have to go into every individual camera and it is not very intuitive or easy. So for example, if you have people over your house and you want to turn off certain cameras and leave other ones on you have to go through each camera individually. With all their technology they haven’t figured out a way to create a menu to just let you toggle things on and off.
