add on cameras are ridiculously expensive. Way more expensive than it should be.
I find that 35% of the time i go to check the cameras they are not working and take a while to get up again. I am not getting good range on the cameras either.
The product was very easy to set up, but is not reliable. I do NOT recommend this product.
30' at the most. I might be doing something wrong, but i have read the instructions many times.
doesn't work well. not reliable at all
I have installed these on several households now. Works in low light but not the best. Plug and play pretty much.
I used my older desktop I don't use for anything else. Seem to work fine that way without any issues. If you have a computer that is fast enough to support them and your normal use then it's great.
In older houses or older wiring use only one camera per breaker circuit. Works great on all the households. On older houses you have take special consideration on where you plug them in and how many are on the same circuit.
If you always have unsteady power to your house they might lag when your power level shifts. Best thing for households and small businesses.
Overall I think its a poorly engineered device, and more importantly it is completely unreliable. This lasted about two months and the camera and/or powerline adapter completely died.
I had the USB powerline adapter on the exact same circuit breaker line on a computer in my house that I used to monitor the camera, record images, etc. The device is completely unreliable, it will drop the feed and you have no idea anything is wrong until you check on it.
I bought this camera for an external view of my driveway, the fact that it would send the signal across the power line really appealed to me as I did not want to run cable for a camera. I put a computer in my garage which defeated the entire purpose of using this product to begin with.
I had to reboot the camera and/or powerline adapter once every couple of days. I bought another computer specifically for the camera thinking a closer range might help.
The camera can no longer be identified, I suppose after reading similar comments the camera burned out.For 250 dollars this is a complete waste of money, they also mislead you with the 'advanced features' in the software that should be part of the entire suite but they don't tell you that until after you buy it. Obviously it was hit and miss for about a year and I am out of my warranty, the support people are also completely clueless as to how their own product works, I had to manually edit the configuration file to get mine to work.Overall, its an interesting novelty but the picture is jerky, by the time it takes a snapshot the activity has long since passed.I would highly recommend another product, I wasted 250 dollars, the components themselves are made in China and are worth maybe 20 dollars tops.
This outdoor camera works very well and the program installation is very easy. I plan on adding another outdoor camera to the system soon. Works well in low light conditions too.
I was satisfied with the purchase but did not like that you had to pay for an additional fee if you wanted to get an arial / zoom view. This was not stated in the description of the product. Furthermore, I thought is was on the pricey side with having to spend the same amount for additional cameras. For the price, it would have been nice for night vision.
