I have had this system for a new months now and it has been exposed to the British weather where I live in quite an exposed location. All working absolutely fine.
I had decided to invest in a CCTV system due to harassment we have experienced from a particular neighbour, and also a general security enhancement. My house is a terrace so I only actually needed two cameras, and have ended up now with two spare. After some research I decided to go for a POE system and I am all round very impressed with it, and regardless of the two spare cameras this has been a worth while investment as the kit comes with everything you need.
I have installed two cameras one at the front the other at the back of the house. At the front I drilled a 20mm hole through the wall above my front door at the first floor level. This comes through in a bedroom in a fitted wardrobe which was a good place to pull up a floorboard to do this. It was fairly easy to then run the ethernet cable through to where I have the NVR without too much upheaval in the house. Due to the shape of the done shaped cameras and no wires showing I feel this looks quite neat, noticeable but not imposing on the house.
At the back however the place I wanted the cameras is right where the incoming electric service line is. After some thought I decided it was not a great place to drill through the wall. I did have a spare junction box and as there is already another junction box for my outside light I've manage to make it look quite neat, the ethernet cable then runs behind a pipe to the basement which was a more suitable place to drill through the wall. After this one does the set up was simply a case of plugging in and turning on.
The footage from the cameras is excellent HD quality. I was slightly concerned with them being close to the outside light but this has not been a problem. If the light is off they are on night mode, when it comes on they switch to day mode. I have it set to record at all times however the detection seems to be very good, so I may review and change the settings. I have the NVR plugged into my PC screen, and I also have the app set up. The cameras have been a success in terms of deterring the harassing neighbours, and it feels good to have increased security in general. None of the other neighbours have raised any concerns. I get a good view of my own gardens and onto the street at the front where the are parked cars.
This system is highly recommended and I would recommended to household users.
