This product is absolutely AWESOME!
I purchased one of these systems for my home, about 4 weeks ago. The installation took a little bit of time, but was well worth it. After I install this system, my house keeper was cleaning my house, while I was at work. I logged-in to my house to see what the house keeper was doing. To my surprise the housekeeper was stealing my money from by bedroom. Of course they don't work for me any more. Plus I was able to save the video and forward it to all there customers, to warn them too. Trust me, the investment was worth it. This product really is great, I fully recommend buying this. Here's why:
1) You get 4 Color camera's that auto adjust to the light, also provide night vision (It really works)
2) The cameras provide motion detection. The wired setup provides both video and power to the each camera.
3) The DVR stores more than 1 week of stored video on a 500 gig hard drive. It can store more if you setup the DVR to motion detection only.
4) The DVR has TONS of settings and features to adjust the camera's recording, network and much more for your custom needs.
5) It will notify you if there is activity.
6) You can login with the special secure software that is provided.
7) You can remotely control the DVR from your computer ANYWHERE.
8) You can login to see all 4 zones from your Android and IPHONE.
9) You also can record audio from all 4 zones.
10) You get everything you need to setup this product. There is no gotchas or extra things to buy, everything is included.
This is a high quality professional setup for home and business. Plus it's affordable. These folks put together truly awesome!

I picked up this system after doing some research on what was out there. The features all lined up with what I was looking for.

The only thing I had to buy additional was extended cables as 2 of my cam ocations were far away.

The power is routed back to the DVR wihich simplifies the camera instal. If the cams were wireless each cam would need a power source or batteries. Much easier to route all the wires back to the DVR.

The camera quality was great. Very crips. The user interface and set-up was surprisingly easy. I did not expect that refined of software in a product at this pricepoint.

The only thing I wasnt real happy with was the lack of audio. They ad never said directly that the camers had audio, although it noted the audio inputs on the back of the DVR. I would hav e upgraded to one with sound. Now I am struggling with a way to addd audio.

All in all a good product.

I purchased this 4 camera system for my new retail business, as I live 50 miles away and needed a way to monitor remotely. My contractor installed the cameras (all of them upside down :-) and ran the wires to my office, where the DVR is located (note: you will need to buy your own monitor). The first unit I received was defective, but Peter at USA Security exchanged the unit immediately and the second one worked like a charm. The in store set-up could not have been easier - plug it all together and turn the unit on. The system includes a remote control, but between the front panel & mouse, it's rather redundant. The remote set-up is a bit trickier (for both my home PC & iPhone), but with some guidance from an IT friend of mine, we got it up and running in less than an hour. The images are crystal-clear and it gives me an immense sense of secuirty to be able to monitor from anywhere I may be. This is a very good system, and I would highly recommend purchasing from USA Security.

I have installed this product. Everything is good untill I want to set up network installation. Uptill now, I have not figured out how to set up the network.The manual is not great and I was not able to obtain customer service phone number yet.

Can't really review this one since it came without any documentation. It might be a wonderful system, and it might be neat to be able to watch your stuff from the web while your at work, and it might be neat to be able to record video to a separate PC. But I digress.

Let me start by saying that their shipping was supper fast and I was surprized the get it couple of days befor the date. now to the system, the dvr seem to be disently made, the casing of the cameras seem to be made of aluminum and feels pretty solid. The whole system is plug and play until you get to networking, it doesnt come with a single instruction on how to conect to the dvt over the internet, but that shouldnt hold you back, because no matter how good it is wriiten seeng is better and with a little search on youtube you will get all the instructions you need and more. It took me about 4 hours (It wasmy very first time doing anything like that) to figure it out but I did it and now can brows my dvr over the internet or on my iphone.I would recomend it to anybody who needs a cctv system and doesnt wnat to pay an arm and a leg. BTW you also gonna need a router if you want to conect it to internet.

The item was shipped to me in very little time. I was happy to see that the setup on all the equipment was very simple. Never having installed a camera system before I had mine running in about an hour. I was pleased with the picture quality being the price was so cheap. U think this is a good system for the money. The negative is that each camera has it's own ac adapter. Which means that's a lot of outlet strips and wire hiding that needs to be done. Although I will have to say that probably most systems have the same setup.

I purchased this system thinking I would be up and running in NO tome. Boy was I wrong. DOES NOT come with a manual for instalation but rather a disc that you have to try and use-GOOD LUCK. I have had this about 3 0r 4 weeks now. Still cany figure out how to install it and YES I got broken into LAST Saturday night. They didnt steal the surveilancr system though. Guess they couldnt figure it out either, So It;s still sitting in the poor JUNKIE cardboard box it was shipped in. Anybody want a bargain?? If so contact me. VERY DISSATISFIED. Ron

This listing implied there was audio capability... but there is not. Also, the package does not include a monitor cable or LAN cable... you'll have to buy those on your own. I tried to contact the seller regarding these issues, but they did not respond.

Don't even get me started on how hard it is to setup email and mobile access... I hope you have masters degree in computer science.

Dear Amazon I hooked up the USA Security Store...cctv The system worked very well for the first day and then I am not getting any visual on the television I dont want to interfere with the item I would like to know the procedure of how I can return this iteam and get back another just like it If I had to rate this item for the first day I would give a five star rating thank you very much and awaiting your reply
