After installed and turn it on. The pictures are very good , better than Sance DVR , that, I had before. The set up it ok with standard basic. With the computer desktop , I need download the amcrest client software. Try to install from web browsers, but not succesful. And set up with smtp is the same, too. Maybe I need the amcrest technician help to solve these set up. Otherwise, Amcrest 960H is perfect for home or small office.

Fairly priced for a good front door/back door system. Limited however in handling distances over 25 feet in terms of picture clarity/focus. It will work fine as an indoor surveillance system as well. But as an outside surveillance system having to cover an area greater than 25 feet away from the camera, picture clarity/focus isn't good enough. Clarity is best when in multi window mode but when you double click on any given screen, your clarity/picture quality is gone. Its plain and simple to get up and running. Unless you can hide the wiring when installing outside, you will need to run schedule 40 as I doubt the cable will hold up to the weather. System requires a large extention/power strip to handle the multiple power supplies and the space they take up. Figure in $30 for a quality power strip. The mouse supplied with the system has too short a cable if you intend to install the DVR in a cabinet to hide it. You supply the mouse pad for say $2.50. Screws provided to fasten cameras to hard surfaces are prone to strip if you need to crank them down to get a snug fit. A trip to your local hardware store and $6.00 for better screws will be needed. Screws provided will not hold up to power drill putting them in. Unless you already have a monitor, figure in another $200 for a 1080P. Don't go overboard on the quality of the monitor as it will be wasted due to the systems level of picture quality. I recommend for indoor use for the price, but I would look at a much higher level platform to get the picture clarity you would need to be able to ID the intruder.

I went to the website to get a question answered, was planning a purchase on amazon. The online chat popped up and answered the question in a timely/easy manner. They offered a discounted price from what I was going to pay. The only issue was the number of power adapters. I ordered 5 cameras, and will need to place a separate order for another power adapter because it did not have enough plug ins for the number of cameras ordered

Nice system. Nice app to view on android phone, but nearly impossible to set this up to view on a remote desktop. I don't understand how it can be made so easy on a phone app, and yet so darn difficult for a PC....

As a suggestion on the email alert; Would be nice if future update would allow you to limit the number of times an alert was sent after motion detection, and maybe a space of time before it restarts, As an option per channel. Alert works really well, just seem in my case that after alert I log into cams and view what is going on. If motion continues I have no way to stop emails. Just a suggestion so far great product. Thanks

800+ TVL Cameras & 960H DVR
This 960H DVR brings you the latest and most powerful iteration of one of the first additions into the high resolution CCTV industry. The 960H DVR is capable of handling the incredible density of detail provided by the 800+ TVL cameras. Until these were released, 700 TVL was thought to be the highest TVL resolution. Now you can enjoy a crisp, detailed image like no other TVL platform has done before and all for a cost that's hard to beat!
Remote/Wireless Access
In today's internet age, it's not enough to have top-notch picture quality anymore; it's also necessary to be able to get online. For generations, CCTV technology has been accepted as truly closed-circuit. But with this latest addition to TVL CCTV technology, you can use their new Amcrest Link app to keep an eye over your investments no matter where you are or what you're doing!
Backwards Compatible
This DVR and camera set does a lot more than raise the bar against D1 resolution, its predecessor technology, it is also compatible with it. This makes upgrading to 960H that much easier and more practical. All you need to do is switch out the camera units and DVR and keep the same old coaxial cabling that was there before. Add ease of installation to the numerous benefits and strengths of 960H technology and it's simple to understand why it makes so much sense for your home or business.
24 IR LEDs for Night Vision
Each bullet camera contains 24 IR LEDs that automatically activate when they detect low lighting conditions, like at night or in a dark room. They can see up to 20 meters (about 65 feet) away so nothing will go unnoticed. Make sure to take advantage of Motion Detection and Scheduled recordings in conjunction with Night Vision to have complete control over the protection of all that you care about.
8-Channel DVR with 1TB Hard Drive
View 4 cameras simultaneously on the DVR's On-Screen Display so nothing can slip past you. At the highest setting, 960H, it is possible to record for 6 days non-stop, that's 144 hours! And make sure you make good use of features like Motion Detection and Scheduled Recordings in order to record much more!
IP66 Weatherproof Rating
In addition to raising the bar with HD picture quality, these cameras also come pre-built to withstand intense weather conditions. The IP66 rating standard specifies that these units are totally dust tight as well as being able to endure any kind of wind and rain. When weather conditions outside are working against you, you can rest easy knowing these cameras are working for you.
USB Backup and External Storage Transfer
A 1TB hard drive comes included with every 960H DVR. If that's not enough, you have the ability to expand the internal HDD to a bigger one (up to 3TB). Not only that, but if you plug in a USB drive or external hard drive with a USB cable, you can organize and sort your snapshots and recordings however you like. Don't forget to consider an FTP server or cloud storage to make backing up even easier!
