I wanted an inexpensive wireless surveillance system to cover limited ground and use indoors where I had plenty of outlets. Unfortunately, this system does not work. Only one of the cameras worked when the DVR was connected to my TV and I could not install the software on my compatible computer. Unfortunately, the seller refused to acknowledge that the product was defective. Only after I filed an Amazon claim did they agree to accept a return less 20% -unless they determined the product was defective upon receipt. I've shopped on Amazon for years and am usually quite satisfied. I'm surprised they're doing business with this company.You will not be able to use this system outdoors unless you have electrical outlets close by. The reception to my receiver is spottie at best with cameras in 40 foot range of the receiver. The color yeild only B&W thus far. Reception fade away at night.
The connections on the cameras to power supply should be much longer to keep out of weather for outdoor use.
Receiver has four antenna that have limited movement that may contribute to issues--can only go left or right.
Camera do not seem to be geared to any one channel
I purcased a new receiver from another vendor that has eight channels that rove or stay static color is great, reception is more constant.
I can not use the usb and record to PC as desired.
Will try to find a work around to solve this issue.
Do not wait as I did to have outlets & cameras installed by an electrician before testing out cameras--my mistake and loss.
I'm sure this my be a good system in doors with limited distance and interferance.Shipped 3/31/2010 Got here 4/7/2010. So There's the 7 day refund period. Should have read the reviews like I usually do, instead of being rushed to order it based on 98% positive feedback???? Totally agree with E. Taylor, Steven & James. Product received did not match the pictures here or at eLoofaimports website. Cameras had RCA 3 Wire connections (red, white, yellow)--not the single black DC12V. Cameras don't even match the pictures on box or in the box. Without power to the cameras, they will not work. The 4Ch DVR is different than picture. No warranty card in box. Had previously been opened--so it is not NEW. Can't open the User Manual on the enclosed software because it is in Word 97 and even XP Professional couldn't convert the graphics. Spent 4 hours trying just to hook up receiver to DVR to computer. And it can't be hooked up to new flat screen LCD monitors if you don't have RCA cable hook-up. Ours is a completely digital monitor. As the sayings go "BUYER BEWARE" & "IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, etc." So the product is a total a waste of our money.i have bought this system .....n it was a waste of time n money.....it was late on shipping, n it was the faster shipping.....then i tryed to install the programs....it wasnt installing ....then i emailed the seller about the problem.... i never got an email back from them or have heard anything....also the their web site isnt a real site... its a fake...DO NOT buy anything from this company....ur better off going to radio shack n spending the few extra $100's for something u know u want .....like i said this company is a rip off!!!This just proves that you shouldn't use a computer if you a very tired. You can see that the other reviews say it is junk, mine didn't even have all the parts so it didn't work at all! The company takes no responsibility after you get through their phone system. Thank God Amazon let me return it. On a positive note, the packaging was fairly glossy
