This is a pretty solid system. The cameras are really nice. I mean they are only 3mp so don't expect some really high quality picture and video. Make sure the supplied 60ft (maybe 50?)cables are going to be enough,if not, buy extra.
I appreciate the supplied mouse but I needed wireless. I purchased one of those Bluetooth trackpad/keyboard with backlight….it works but constantly registers a key press even if you don't touch it. Same thing happens with any wireless keyboard. I ended up buying a trackball Logitech mouse and this works fine with the onscreen keyboard. You don't need to type much anyway.
For the most part the night vision works really well. The infared light attracts just as much bugs as a standard multi ir camera. I found fine tuning it in the PTZ option can give you the best clarity. There is documentation supplied with the camera on how to change these settings. Yes the white flashing light can be turned off.
I can't say much about the quality of motion detection because I have it set to continuously record. However there is an option in playback called smart playback that basically jumps the recording to where motion was detected. It's really nice not to have to click through hours of video to see if anything happened. On the playback bar are green little tick marks that indicate there was motion there.
The app called annkevision is great. I am able to view my live feed from work and playback as well. Don't remember the difficulty of setting it up. I believe there was a QR code you had to have your phone read and it pretty much syncs up with your system. If you're the least bit tech savvy, you should have no trouble.
With that, I'm overall really pleased with it. It gives me an extra piece of mind knowing I can watch over my family and belongings. Pair this with a security system and your choice of in home self defense and keep your family safe.
Godbless
