LYD Wireless Security System DVR Infrared Surveillance

I bought this system on March 24, 2010; did not receive it until April 9 due to a "problem" with the receiver and replacement systems were shipped from Homg Kong. Initially, the system was fine, very easy to install the software, although the color was a bit washed out even at close range. Camera 2 failed after 2 weeks having an audio noise issue (loud buzzing & pops) no matter where it was placed. Emailed the seller on 05/10/2010 about the lack of warranty information and phone number for customer service. No response (Chowaka LLC). On 05/20, camera 4 stopped transmitting video either wireless or cable and was very hot to the touch. I assume the circuit board had a power issue or compenant failure; the audio is still functioning.

Do not buy this system; no warranty, no phone numbers, no customer service from Chowaka. We have filed a claim with Amazon and will purchase a different system.

Had problems installing the drivers on 4 different computers, there's next to no tech support. The "Built in DVR" requires a computer to be on 24/7 to record. For the same amount of money you can buy a Q-See DVR with a 320GB hard drive built in.

The only thing worse than this product is the seller selling it. Its a complete waste of money and they will not honer any returns. Flush your money, you will get more satisfaction.

Do not be fooled by the picture of the unit. There are wires galore and electrical plugs required for every camera. So much for hidden security.

The directions are vague and sparse. I have pretty good computer skills but I can't get anything to work. After hooking it up as directed, the software doesn't load and freezes my computer. The unit is not recognized by my computer. I think I may need a USB video capture card but I'm not sure and after days of searching the Web for answers I am more confused than ever at which one would work if that is the problem.

I would not buy this product.

This is the most terrible product i have ever purchased online, EVER. The pictures in the description are phony, COMPLETELY, the "IR" camera night vision is hilarious, its just some low level led's that put out just enough light to get a slight out line on the fuzzy and completely distorted screen. You have to option of wiring the camera right to the hub and even if they are wired, it is completely distorted and you arent able to see anything anyway. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, IT WILL BE THE WORST DECISION YOU MAKE IN YOUR CAREER OF ONLINE PURCHASING, I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE REVIEWS, AND YOU SHOULD TOO... LAME LAME LAME!!!
