DVR ok, Cameras...useless

The system is OK, not the best interface, however, the cameras, when used at night, are useless. If you have them looking at your fron door, the graininess of the picture sets motion detection off right all night. Qsee has no fix. Having to buy all new cameras to see if that fixes the problem. Also, one of the 4 cameras included was defective. Have been waiting 5 days for an RMA

Great Price, but...

Hard to install unless you are completely network-savvy. We had to hire someone since we have just basic home computer skills.

You get what you paay for

Setup was very easy if you can get around some language issues in the documentation and on screen display. Mobile access works with few glitches and so does internet access. The cameras are adequate for interior but not great at night vision. All in all there are better products out there, it all depends what you want to spend.

Performs great, software & setup directions don't

This is my 2nd Q-See DVR. For the price point you cannot do better. However, as with my previous system, the setup instructions for advanced features are not included and after many emails to customer service (Q-See) I finally figured out myself how to activate the trigger for an external alarm. The software interface sucks and has poor english grammar and errors (cheap Chinese programming). I have one area set to record and email on motion, I have the sensitivity set to the least and I will get an email every 10 seconds all night long. My ISP loves me. You cannot have more than 2 cameras on hidef, and the picture quality is not the greatest... do not think you will ever see green grass or clothing, it is not there. But for the price it is a deal.

Good deal, Bad Night Vision

Everything worked out of the box. Easy setup, except the internet viewing took a little time to get it right. The cameras are not good at all for night viewing, very grainy picture. Daytime is not bad. I like the features, can view from cell phone and the internet.If you have a home network, you can view from all computers. If your looking for good quality and clear picture at night, you may want something else. For the price, its a great system. I purchased another camera for 150.00 and the night vision was clear and you could see 100 feet plus. Its hard to identify a face at over 50 feet with this system.

Awesome System

This product is great easy to set up, works great.

great product

This product worked right out of the box. And has a good picture quality for low end cameras. Setting up emai,internet and phone app was very hard. calling Q see for help was no help. If you have a computer friend thats the person to call. Works great on internet and phone also sends emails with snap shot photos. We even put one up for the police department.

Not Bad Price, Bad Resolution Cameras

I installed the system and got online to view just fine. The resolution and picture quality of the cameras is very poor. They seem out of focus. Not for a business set-up, get a better camera.

??

Everything installed well. Cameras look great, even in complete darkness. But I can not get it to remote access. I will be calling in an expert soon.

Great price

The unit doesn't have the same user interface as the other smaller units and isn't that simple to use , they should have let the user interface alone, the network part doesn't work tried 2 units and both had the same issue, other then that it's okay product
