   First let me say I have this system running for about a month now with no problems, I bought it here on Amazon for about $320.
   After comparing other 720 HD systems .. this one had the lowest price ,
   There are many other ones out there for about the same price, but none with 4 HD cameras ...
   So after a small research choose that I would got with this system...
   My main reasons for the choice was the description on the 720p HD Cameras and ability to reach 130ft at night.

   Installation was very simple, basically plug and play with minimum setup on the menus...
   The toughest part was running the cables ...I spent all day doing it.
   Cameras are plastic , not metal like others , the camera mounts seem a lil fragile, and mounting screws are really terrible quality , will get stripped really simple, I recomend buying diferent screws at your local hardware store.
   The DVR have bright blue lights in front , so you might need to cover them if you planing to set it in your bedroom, you can also hear the hard drive spinning if your room is quite.
   The FLIR app was simple to setup in my IPads iOS , but could not get it to work on my androids so I had to call tech support for help, the tech was very helpful and solved my problem in the first call, he connected remotely to my PC and setup the router properly for me , I didn't had to do much...
   I can now see live video from my phone and I don't have to use wifi necessarily .

   Now quality of the view of the DVR in my home TV is not as excellent as I expected but is ok during the day..
   Don't expect to be able to read tags or any small details .
   At night it gets terrible ,the IR concentrates on the center of the view , so when is dark you can only see what's on the center of the screen
   Also night vision is excellent for about 50 ft , I don't know why the say 130 ft, unless is a bright light or a car driving by
   You won't be able to recognize anyone unless they are close to the camera . Can't even tell what model of a car drives by at night.
   Motion sensor only works at about 70 ft, so anything that moves farther in the background won't be detected by the motion sensor.
   Over all is an ok system , I don't believe you can get much better for that price.
   Reason I give it 2 stars is because the IR night vision does not work as described and 720 HD is not all that
   This might be excellent enough for some uses or locations ...but If You looking for a quality system I would wait and save some more money.
   I hope this review helps

   I have 16 of these systems (the 8-camera version...same/same), installed in stores, monitored by guards, throughout Southern California. While there is room for improvement in the advanced software tools (time-based selection of which movement grid settings to use would be nice, as would selecting how many beeps the system makes upon sensing movement), but for the price, this system can't be beat and does a very excellent job of providing a high quality image, both day and night, as well excellent movement sensing, simple enough menus and click/double click options for changing views quickly. both servers and cameras have been very reliable... I've had a few cameras go to to B&W only, but they seem to switch back to color after a while so no huge deal. The reasonably decent remote viewing and control app (FLIR), quickly available from both the android and apple stores, makes it very simple to provide your management staff (or family members) the ability to remote view and control the cameras from a smartphone... along with selectable access per user, based upon accounts you allow them to log into. Overall, a very excellent system that could use some software feature enhancement, but at the price, I'm giving it 5 Stars!

   Sure, I'd like to outfit my stores with higher-end IP Cameras and servers like I run at home, but it would be well over twice the price, and 4 times the setup,maintenance/troubleshooting time... just not worth it unless you want to make IP Cameras/Servers your new leisure activity.

   I highly reccomend the Lorex 720 systems for both home and business use

   Like the product for the price/ Don't reckon the non HD system compare. The only thing that I have seen in this box as well as another I had bought first is the lack of a manual to help you set it up. Right out of the box it records all the time. If you want to setup special times and dates for it to record that seems a bit more of a task. Other than that the quality compared to my other non hd system is a total difference. Include more manuals and it would be perfect.
