I had tried a wireless system before this, but wasn’t impressed with the quality. With a wired system the quality is much better and there aren’t as many sync issues.

There is a quick start 1-pager but there us NO user manual. I've had it a month and am still guessing how to use it. I run it as a stand alone system (no internet, no app so perhaps I'm not their target customer. Also, the motion sensor triggers on snow flakes and bugs but does not catch the animals that leave footprints in the snow in front of it. Perhaps there is an adjustment that I'll stumble on someday through trial and error.

I upgraded my system to a 5Mp system - little did I know that I would be sacrificing video speed. You have two choices slow (10 FPS) or slower (8 FPS). You will note that frame speed is not included in their advertised specifications. The system is great if you need to record a snail.

5MP Super HD with HDMI cable
The kit also includes an HDMI cable for generating up to 5MP Super HD video to your flat screen TV including LCD, LED TVs or monitors. The DVR also has a VGA connection for viewing up to 1080p Full HD on your LCD monitor or compatible TV with VGA input. VGA cable not included.
Record only what matters with Motion Detection
Motion Detection lets you select specific areas of each camera's image you want to trigger automatic recording and alerts. This reduces the unnecessary false trigger recordings, such as cars driving in the street, birds & falling leaves, while boosting the HDD's storage capacity.
Smart Search easily finds recorded incidents by searching a specific image area
With Smart Search you can select a specific area of the image to search for movement within the recordings. For example, if something was stolen during a particular hour's footage, you can highlight the position of the stolen object - for example, a laptop, bike or bag - and Smart Search will mark the timeline where it detected motion around that specific area.
Intrusion Detection auto records & alerts you
Intrusion Detection enables you to identify a potential intrusion and prevent it. You identify a particular area, draw a rectangle on the image and if someone stays within that area for a given amount of time, the DVR will start recording and will alert you. Ideal for using on parked cars, doors and business entrances. Usually, intruders have to spend time trying to break into a door or a car and this feature enables you to be proactive in preventing it from happening.
Camera Tampering Detection
Any security system can be vulnerable to attacks or vandalism. Tampering Detection will alert you if someone covers up the camera's field of view or tamper with the video signal, this way you can catch intruders in the act before something bad happens.
Line Crossing Detection
Apply a rule on which direction your DVR detects motion to record and alert you. For example, you can draw a line on the door of a store and set up the DVR to only record people entering the store from 5pm, but not leaving the store. This convenient feature enhances accuracy for your security and is also useful for restricted areas, garage entrances and driveways, such as someone walking towards your house or jumping a fence.
