   I bought mine thru Costco but it's the same unit, I checked out the Amazon price and wanted to counter the other (oddly unfair) review. Overall this is a pretty impressive unit, especially for the price, I got it for $699 (net) after Costco one hundred rebate.
   PROs:
   - Much improved interface over my 3 yr ancient DVR, this is a very huge improvement over my other 2 brands
   - Live viewing worked on an Ipad 2 and an Android phone in just minutes by scanning the QR code on the DVR
   - The 1080P cameras are certainly much clearer than my ancient 480 or 700 TVL cameras
   - Status lights on the front of the DVR were helpful, showing power and network were OK and hard drive was not...
   - Packing on all parts was very well done
   - Customer service took 15 minutes in the queue on a Saturday, but then they were very helpful (I registered the unit and uploaded my receipt before calling);
   CONs:
   - DVR is noisier than any other electronic device in my house
   - Arrived with a dead hard drive, constant beeping clued me in to this straight away
   - Cameras are not adjustable for focal length, so some don't really show more detail than my older lower-resolution cameras that could be zoomed in
   - Cameras not adjustable side to side more than 10 degrees or so without loosening all three joints.
   - The 16 BNC connectors on DVR are absurdly close together.
   Very excellent value at the price I paid.
   Lorex shipped a new DVR very quickly, the swap-out of all the cables only took about 20 mins, including getting 2 Android phones to view by wi-fi!
   The camera aiming is also more adjustable than I thought: just loosen all ALL THE JOINTS, aim where you want and tighten one joint at a time.
   This DVR and cameras have very impressive picture and much improved interface over any system I have used before.

   I had one lorex system three years ago. Such model is no longer on the market. They make low end product. the cameras that I had was not very clear. The metal hardware started rust in less than one year. I finished up replacing all the cameras. The customer service was not excellent either. They claimed to help the client on web view but I finished up giving it up as the customer service on the phone was pathetic. This is not a brand you want to choose if you have relative high expectation.
