I have used lots of IP security cameras individually and bought a wireless NVR, but this is my first wired NVR system. The NVR system can record up to 8 cameras and comes with 4 cameras, power supplies and cabling, as well as a 1TB hard drive built into the NVR. The cameras are 720p indoor/outdoor cameras with
built in IR for continuous viewing at night. The system was very easy to get working, I just plugged everything

in and it worked. The 720p cameras seem to be very clear during the day and fine at night with their built in IR illuminators. The one problem that I had was I couldn’t get the hdmi port to work with my monitor, so I had to use the VGA port to get my display to recognize the input. That was probably an issue with my old monitor though. The CMS software that works with the NVR system is a fairly easy to set up to record from a schedule or from motion detection. It’s very easy to scroll through what you have recorded to play back pre-recorded videos from the point you select. I have lots of drop-outs with my other wireless cameras and NVR so even though it’s more difficult to install wired cameras I would recommend wired cameras over wireless any time you are able to install the cabling so that you never get connectivity or drop-out problems.
