(More customer reviews)I purchased this security setup after trying a wireless device setup. One, the wireless setups are not secure and can be picked up by other receivers and is OK if you want other looking at your personal property. Two, the wireless are only good for up to about 8-10 ft inside the home. Three, you have to replace batteries or have to worry about having a power source close by for hard wire. I then bought the Swann single wired cam to test the clarity and was impressed. Next, purchased the Swann (2 cams and DVR) wired system which took a little planning with where to run the wires(about 50-60ft ea) so not out in the open but I have the reliablity of never losing power or picture unless a break in the connection(obviously). The day quality pictures(above 40 degrees F) look just like the image of the security cameras you see yourself on when you walk in a Target store. The night pictures are better than what I expected and can reach to what the product states(30ft) in a dark outdoor area. I did have problems getting the image up on TV screen because I didn't read instructions(so read the 6th GRD reading level instructions). I've had my three camera security setup up for a month now through a Nor'Easter storm which the government listed as a state a emergency. Rain, wind, and light debris did not stop the function of the cameras(good weather-resist housing). One camera was slightly moved(indirect hit) by a 35ft tree falling on the side of the house but no worries. I can review (greater reviewing control when utilizing the computer) anything that went on around my house while I was at work for that day or past days. I can record and keep on record by linking the DVR up to my computer(Windows 2000; wouldn't work with my Vista). I wish I would have had these cameras up with my ADT system because a theif still has about 8-10 minutes before the cops show but I'd still have an image of the perp(which is still at large). I'm getting ready to purchase the fourth camera for more coverage and so my four in one TV screen will be filled.
My ideal setup would allow me to go online and review my security cameras from anywhere but this is the next best thing. I can go away on vacation and have less worry with these cameras(and a 24hr monitored home security system). And I'm able to view all means of entry from one room. Being a married man with a wife and daughter after already being burglarized (handful of snacks and wife's engagement ring that was out in the open on the bedroom dresser) and two more attempts (unsuccessful) 7 months later in the same week. I believe we're now prepared from the doors we've choosen to add and harder means of entry but we are not naive to say that no one can get into our home(but we'll have pictures of those who try). I am a more than one gun owner and it probably would have been a different story if me or my wife were home. But, I ask that YOU BE RESPONSIBLE AND PROPERLY LOCK UP YOUR FIREARMS AND KEEP THEM OUT OF SOMEONE ELSE'S HANDS. Thank you and may God keep you and your home.
