this unit was very easy to setup was as simple as plug in, power on, connect to tv. The unit needs no "setup" walk thru before use, it automatically detects camera input and will show it on the corresponding channel it is connected to. By default it is set to record all channels all the time which for 16 channels means you will fill up the 1tb drive in less than 2 weeks.
Pros;
came with everything needed for install, all the cable for cameras, mounting hardware and power sources.
very simple initial setup if all you do is plug in and power on then you are automatically recording.
unit has 2 usb inputs in front and 2 in back great for backup drives
cameras included are weatherproof, infrared and have a microphone these cameras are surprisingly good quality for a "kit" camera.
you can access from the internet however it requires a little more than just plug and play, we needed to get a static ip address from the internet provider
You can set to record when camera senses motion, there is a delay of about 1 sec.
camera sensitivity can be adjusted for motion detection, you need to test this after instal, it is set to level 2 by default which was not sensitive enough we moved to a 1 which was good.
Cons;
cannot change the recording quality to maximize recording space
unit only sizes to a certain resolution which means if using a hdtv there may be black spaces on each side of the screen
so far i cannot find how to have the cameras scroll on screen at certain intervals, i am manually using the remote to view 4 cameras at a time.
in closing:
i do recommend this kit as it was easy to install, setup and record, just make sure you measure out distance ahead of time so you have correct cable lengths ready for your installThe quality of the product is comparable with the price, its simple to install and configure, has an easy interface to interact with the software.The system is a good quality system. It was easy to set up, the dvr works fantastic, and 15 of the 16 cameras work great. The only shortfall was straight out of the box, one camera did not work. However, I would still recommend it, and am planning to buy another one for my home.this was a very good buy price was reasonable and shipment took about three to five days to arrive and it works perfectI could not use it at all, return time is too short, just 1 month. How can you know whether it will work after day 31
