   Very Good System at this Price Point
   I did a ton of research and read many reviews for a good camera system. My first try was Hiseeu and I was not impressed at all. Reolink on the other hand is a super solid all around system for the best price without a doubt. This particular system had some bad reviews, but I have no clue what they were talking about.The Good: 5mp offers pretty darn good clarity even when you use the digital zoom.The DVR is 2 TB and I’ve been recording 4 cameras with the highest definition for 12 days and still have 60 GB left before it starts overwriting. (You can go a lot longer with lower quality recording if you want- I prefer high def playback)The DVR software is pretty easy and functional unlike my last system.The iPhone app is sweet and I haven’t found anything it can’t do that I needed.Playback is easy and quick.The cameras and components are sturdy.Overall I’m very happy- already added a Reolink ptz to the system and it is awesome.One bad thing which isn’t necessarily bad is that motion detection is very sensitive(it does have a setting which I’m still playing with) Although I’d way rather have it pickup too much than miss something like my last system did all the time.The only other inconvenience is the cable has a POE port, aux power port( not used) and a rest button dangling altogether. This is common for some reason on other systems as well, but it makes the cabling harder to look clean and hidden. Not a deal breaker as I was able to push the extra pieces behind the corner trim of the vinyl siding. They do offer a weather proof mounting box which I think would hide all of this, but I’m too cheap to worry that much about it.Word of caution: I’ve tried to use cheaper systems and they don’t have the features or quality of this one. If you can’t record and view quality video easily when needed, then what’s the point?

   A great security system for anyone!
   I’ve waited 4 months to review this system, making sure I was comfortable enough with the different features and interfaces, and can honestly say I couldn’t be happier with a camera security system!I began hunting after a few things had been stolen off my porch and driveway (including my daughter’s bike), but the last straw was a few packages that had gone missing with gifts for Christmas. I searched through a few different bundles and brands, and for the price couldn’t pass up this one, as it had everything I wanted – at a great price – from a reputable company.Starting with installation: I’ll mention that I’m by no means a professional, but it went as smoothly as I’d hoped and I had everything up and running in two days (it would’ve been one, but the temperature being in the teens and short daylight made it difficult to work on for long). The PoE is a perfect solution for a lack of outlets where I needed them, and thanks to the placement of my NVR only a single hole was needed to route all of the cabling.Speaking of the cables, the cords included were plenty long enough for my usage – and then some! Only the cable between the router and NVR was a bit too short, and again that was down to the placement and where I wanted the system installed. Mounting the cameras was simple, and I didn’t even need the guides included for screws. The only thing not included in the kit that i needed were some zip ties and hammer-in cable guides, which may not be neccessary for everyone depending on your set up. Using the app, it was easy to adjust the cameras to where I wanted while looking at the feeds in one hand on my phone… By the time everything was put together, you wouldn’t be able to tell it wasn’t done by a professional!Initial Setup: I had already tested the NVR and cameras before installing, just to avoid issues later on, and following the full install everything went just as smoothly. The PoE makes everything plug-and-play, and the on screen set up guide is both streamlined for beginners while allowing for more advanced options to those familiar with NVR security systems.The Android app and PC applications are just as simple to install and use – once connected to the internet the camera streams instantly connect with no set up needed, and can then be customized a ridiculous amount from either PC, phone, or the NVR itself (connected to a monitor).The motion sensing and notification settings are super easy to figure out, and there are constantly new updates that provide even more settings. I haven’t used the SD card features of the cameras since everything I need is already included in the apps, but it’s nice to know the other options are available if needed.Usage: With those same apps, it’s just as easy to pull clips either from a specific time, or sorted by motion triggered alarm. The images themselves are as clear as I could hope for – with a steady framerate and impressive zoom quality – and faces are easy to make out. The built in microphone is top-notch, and was a nice surprise included with the 5mp bullet cams.Like the rest of the features, clips and playback can be accessed from the NVR, PC, or mobile device; and can be saved for later playback if needed. I was nervous at first with purchasing an NVR that’s locked to a single manufacturer, but with all of the use I’ve had and support available I don’t think I’ll be purchasing another companies cameras any time soon!The only issue I’ve had throughout the time I’ve had the system is the waterproof ethernet covers, which I’m not sure I installed correctly, and the articles provided show something slightly different than what I was provided. There’ve been no problems despite this, and since the cameras are installed under a porch I don’t foresee any problems with water on the horizon.My biggest complaint would be the fact that not even a week after installing the system I had another package go missing… Once I reviewed the footage, furious and hoping to finally catch the porch pirate that prompted my protective purchase, I found the mail woman had actually stuck it between my side doors. That in itself wasn’t a problem, but since I rarely use that entrance I had overlooked the delivery.Imagine my surprise when I opened the door to find not only the missing package, but the packages from a week before that I had thought stolen before I got the cameras!I’ve included a screenshot of the mobile app to show some of the interface and quality, as well as a video I clipped after a snowman in my yard had fallen (and I was curious to see its time of death).Overall, I’m more than satisfied – and will go thorugh Reolink in the future for more security!
