I believe there is a lot of room for improvement, concentrating more on the camera quality and more detailed adjustments for the cameras. sensitivity and recording are near flawless, though I have had issues with the hardrive being undetected a time or two. the wireless cameras lose wifi connection often, more than other cameras we use. night/day vision also fails rather quickly after installation. im not impressed with the zoom quality as it is very pixelated. it can better. much better.

when I first got it, it was great. but lately, nothing but problems. "There are no events today" is what I find most times on my cameras. I used to have to unplug them to get them to record events again, but now that won't even fix it. and a new problem just started when the spot lights won't come on at night when it does decide to record. They boast 4k but not likely. I'll be changing these out very soon for anything different. I had Arlo before, and they were great. too bad šŸ‘Ž

i was hoping this camera system would be much better than it is. the picture is very high quality, but the software is so very slow and glitchy. half the time, it will not even load up, and when you do get in to look at the video, there are lots of missing segments where you needed it most. most of the time when i get it to start loading up, it will all of a sudden say "oops something went wrong" and then not do anything. if they could fix the glitches and speed it up then it might be good.
