Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Since we moved into our home several years ago we always thought that having an alarm system (Vivint) was all we'd ever need to protect our home. We also put up several yard signs indicating that our home was indeed protected by an alarm system and that would be burglars should find another home to plunder. Nevertheless, our home was burglarized and when the police arrived the very first thing they asked us was if we had a video camera that possibly got a picture of the bad guys or their vehicle. That's when it hit me, if you don't have a camera system keeping an eye on your home when you are away then you are blind to anything that happens at your home when you're away. The next day I ordered the Amcrest 720P HD 4CH system. The most difficult part of the installation by FAR having to run the cabling through my attic. Dripping in sweat, covered in insulation, and working in very confined spaces almost got the best of me, but I knew that in the end that it would be worth it. When the cabling was finished and I started up the system and saw the HD quality video feed I was immediately impressed. For a little background on myself, I'm a network engineer and I'm used to working with Cisco routers, switches, etc that cost tens of thousands of dollars. The thought of purchasing a complete home video surveillance system (minus monitor) for $325 had me initially thinking that this wasn't going to be a quality product and I must say that I was wrong. What an excellent product this is and a great investment for only several hundred bucks! Take it from me and buy an Amcrest system to supplement your existing home security system. You will be glad that you did!
