Pros: I found it pretty easy to install. was almost plug n pkay. was a bargin in my opinion

Cons: none really, wish I would have gotten better resolution cameras....these are ok.

Pros: Good value, but I guess you get what you pay for...

Cons: I'm not sure if I would buy this again. The documentation is a joke. The interface seems like it's capable of a lot, but there is literally, NO documentation for the GUIs. Taking one star away for that, and another star for lackluster camera performance.

Pros: Works a described. Nice features for the price. Good overall value.

Cons: Cameras not up to the specs of the DVR. Terrible documentation. I would not recommend this for the inexperienced DIYer.

Other Thoughts: This is a nice little system for the price. I had the basic operations up and running quickly. Unfortunately, the owner's manual is one of the worst I've ever seen. Many of the advanced features are not even mentioned. I had to search through other manufacturer's online manuals to help me figure out how to set some things up. I've got a fair amount of computer/electronics experience and it took me a lot longer than expected to figure out how to get all the features up and running properly. I'm also not sure why you would include cameras that are not able to take full advantage of the available DVR resolution. Don't expect to get good recognizable facial pics except under the most ideal conditions with the stock cameras. Within a week I'm already thinking I should start shopping for better cameras. I'd give the DVR itself five stars, but I'm deducting one star for the lack of documentation and deducting another star for bundling it with insufficient resolution cameras. Newegg, as always, performed flawlessly.

Pros: This is a fantastic system. It has many features including motion recording and email notification. The cameras are very good quality and easy to aim. Easy to remotely view as long as you pay close attention to the videos directions

Cons: For the price I don't see any cons

Other Thoughts: Excellent tech service and fast response

Pros: Easy to set up and get running in no time. ( running cable through the attic is another issue altogether, though )
I plugged in all four cameras and verified that everything worked before deciding on exact placement locations. Pretty much plug and play.

Cons: Setting up the phone app did require a call to customer support. ( AT&T U-verse support is worthless ). Problem was worked out quickly though and remote viewing works great.
Don't expect high resolution from these cameras, it's standard 'convenience store' video quality.

Other Thoughts: This is a good basic system for the price. Don't expect 'Dropcam' video quality but, on the plus side, I don't have to pay a fee to record timeline video from my home security system. I can always upgrade the cameras later if I need higher quality video.

Pros: Clear Picture, good phone app, easy playback

Cons: Time format is confusing

Other Thoughts: Overall a very good product for me.
