Great budget camera system
I guess my outdated digital camera doesn't have a mic..
Anyway, I am giving this system 5 stars because it is inexpensive, simple to setup, and couldn't be easier to navigate the menu's once you're completely setup.
Since the audio on my digital camera doesn't work:
The first half of the video was live footage of what was being recorded at that moment. Then you'll see me easily and quickly navigate the menu to go back to midnight of the night before and show the nightvision capabilities. The camera(3) I zoom in on shows a dark corner that would appear completely black to people looking at it. The nightvision capability of this system is awesome. Camera 2 shows a car in the street, that area has no light around it and you can still clearly see the car and surrounding area.
All in all I'm happy with my purchase. I did a LOT of research before making this purchase and it payed off. I'd definitely recommend this product to a friend.
UPDATE::: The system is working great still with the exception of one camera. The night vision is blurry on one camera and there is obviously something wrong with that specific camera since the problem followed the camera to the four mount points. I contacted SVAT customer service and they told me to send the camera back. I did and two months later I received an email from them saying the camera works fine and they're sending back the original. I received the original back and it still has the problem. They must not have read what I wrote was the actual problem. I'm disappointed with their customer service this time and I guess I'll just buy another camera to replace the broken one.
UPDATE 2::: I uploaded another video real fast to show the system again. The file was too large so I used a free file converter to change the format to make the file smaller. I guess they watermark the video and limit it to 3 minutes. Not a big deal cause it was only 3:09 so the entire video is essentially there. Sorry for the watermark though.
