I bought this at Sam's club based on the easy setup. I didn't realize it does not have a built in recorder, but that is not a major issue since it can be hooked up to a computer or recorder. I currently have mine hooked up to a spare 20" tv with built in VHS recorder. I really like the features like scan, zoom, low light, and voice. The main defect for me is that the picture quality is pretty low definition for example, you can tell that someone is standing at your gate, but you can't make out their features(zooming in actually makes it worse). I understand that this is a trade-off for the cameras being wireless; the video image is converted to mpeg format for transmission, and is low resolution to save bandwith. I'm hoping to find a compatible higher resolution camera, or may end up returning it and going to a highher resolution hard wired solution.
USB video capture card that I ordered for 8.99
Video capture recording with motion detection (you can find these free google search)
Dropbox to upload files to cloud
Teamviewer
I now can record all 4 cameras in quad view with motion detection and when the software detects motion, it sends me a email with 4 pictures 1 second apart. I also have the software setup to record 5 seconds prior to motion detection and 20 seconds after motion stops and these are saved in my dropbox which I can watch on my smartphone or pc while at work. If I want to watch live streams, I log on to teamviewer (not the best quality but it works).
This system now works perfect for my needs. I purchased this system from Sam's Club. Their price is $260.00 I had never used a security system before and I found this one to be ideal for my home and experience. It was extremely easy to set up and works great! I have one camera set up at least 100! from my house and the monitor picks up just fine. I had no problem installing the software, very user friendly. I would like to purchase a good DVR, but know nothing about them. If anyone can help me with that, would appreciate it. I was given this set almost 2 years ago as a gift (I love it). Because of my age I don't get out much. This allows me to enjoy/see the outdoors and hear the birds and animals. I purchased this as a gift for one of my daughters. We live on acreage and this allows us to see who/what is approaching our homes.I was looking for a video baby monitor and the uniden system is the best option for the money. I had looked at most video baby monitors and even the pricey ones could not compare to this system.. we keep the monitor in our bedroom and one camera over each crib the other camera over looking where our dogs sleep. We use a separate sound monitor for the babies because the sound is not the best when monitoring multiple cameras. Set up was easy, night vision works great and it was the best thing we ever bought for our babies. We are looking to add a fourth camera but the are a little pricey at 75.99 without shipping.......hope this helps
