4K PoE Security Camera System Hornbill 8MP Security Camera System Outdoor 4K Home Security System 8CH 4Pcs Wired IP Cameras with Night Vision 2TB Hard Drive

Purchased this last year during Amazon’s sale. Just now getting home to install it. It has absolutely no way to power any of the cameras. There is no way to mount any of the cameras. There is no cable ties or hold downs for the ethernet cables. There is nothing but the DVR box, a mouse, a cable for the DVR, and 4 cameras. Save your money. Have a security company install their own cameras.

I never had a surveillance system before and trying to make a decision was very unnerving (especially buying it blindly online). I needed to buy a few extra things for setup.Pros:*Cameras seen durable and well made*picture is pretty clear*simple to set up and operate*no problems with the app from my android*night vision was not great but average*packaging was pretty protective*price was descent for what you getCons:*the pictures are misleading, I was under the impression that there would not be any red lights on the camera at night. I understand it needs something to light up the screen but the pictures showed no lights at all in the description.*the 65 ft ethernet cables sound long enough but I found that I needed about 20 ft more on 2 cameras so I had to go buy more. The equipped cable was adequate but the store bought cable was a little thicker and stronger*the peices to make this waterproof did not go together well at all and make me question how well it would protect from weather* the instructions require silica gel but it's not included* they place other reviews with this one. One of the reviews claimed this was corded and/or wireless as well. This is not a true statement.Overall, the system itself is not bad at all For the price, I dont think I went wrong. Picture is good, quality is good. Great choice for first surveillance system for the price. Only other option that may have been nice was the cameras that could rotate any direction but those cost alot more.

I bought this system and flailed thru setting it up. The book it included was not for the version of software that is out now. Not great. Apparently one of the cameras was set to some unknown password. I can't see it now thru the NVR and have tried to contact them several times to help me to fix it to no avail. And it beeps annoyingly for a while whenever I try to do anything in the software. I just hooked up another camera and the software doesn't see it. Useless. The one camera looked nice when I momentarily had it working. I can't recommend this. I am an IT person, by the way and by no means technically challenged. Wasted $

The ports on the DVR box do allow for POE, however, only 4 ports are fully POE capable. The remaining ports on it allow for the remaining 4 IP Cameras, but, you must have a source of power nearby ran to the Camera using the power port provided on the IP camera.Also : You can capture video on the Cameras with a resolution of 3840x2160 but at ONLY 20 FPS.To get 30 FPS you have to drop to a resolution of 2592x1944.Other than those details that I found out by owning the system, this thing is amazing. Great Clarity and the Night vision is absolutely wonderful. Navigation of the system is easy. Note: if one of your cameras goes blank and is not functional, do a system settings factory reset. I spent 2 hours trying different ways to get it running again but found out i changed a setting which the camera did not like.Enjoy this product, it is great.

Cons It said 153 degrees viewing angle in pictures, 112.7 in the details line but it’s more like 85 degrees. 60 feet of cat5e cable per camera was kinda sad. Should have come with 100+ feet of cat6.Pros good video. Easy install and setup.

I really like this security camera system. It just works out the box. I really like that it works with network cables. I had a couple of cameras that were about 100 feet from the box. Just ran cat 5 cables and they worked. After a month of using this system, I like it even better. Its recordings are clear and you can tell of any movement in an easy-to-use timeline. I will be buying another one for my 2nd store.

I have purchased two of these systems because when the first system developed a rather specific, unique problem I was unable to get a customer service response to a simple request. Now that I know what to test for I checked the new unit and it had the same problem out of the box. Back it went!

One of the cameras night vision did not work. Frustrated because the cameras are very high up and I have to go back up there to remove and replace.
