1.) Great choice for home system.

When our brand new privacy fence was vandalized just 2 days after completion we decided an out door camera system was a wise choice. After reviewing several different options and schooling myself on home security cameras I choose the ClearVU1 for many reasons. The main reasons for my choice were the monitor/dvr combo and the price compared to other systems. Except for the task of running the wires through the walls to create a cleaner look, the system was very easy to set up. The picture is very clear, and I'm able to access the unit through my computer when we are away from home. The only flaw we found with the product is that it's not expandable. It only has enough connections for 4 cameras.

Given the ease of set up and accessibility options I would recommend this product for anyone looking for a basic home security camera system.

2.) Pretty good, great package

The thing that I like about this system is that everything is included in the kit. I also liked that it can be viewed over the internet. The software that runs the system is pretty basic, but it does everything that I need it to, so It doesn't bother me at all. The only issue that I have had is that I wish the images were a little clearer (it may actually record clearer than the 7" lcd displays). I have had one minor issue with this kit and that has to do with the mounting hardware for only one of the cameras. It uses a ball and socket design, but didn't tighten enough to hold the camera in place. It's an odd design but has worked with all the other cameras. It may have just been a little off in size...who knows, but I eventually jerry rigged it enough to get it stable. One thing that I was concerned about was the distance of the night vision and that ended up being just over 15 feet.

I would buy this kit again and would recommend it to others because it has so many features at such a great price. From my research, other comparable kits would have ended up being much more than I was prepared to spend.


3.) Defective DVR

We received a defective DVR unit with the order. We returned the product for replacement. SVAT determined that the product was defective & sent us another one. However, we were required to pay $24.03 to return the original defective unit. Seems pretty unethical to require a customer to pay for shipping a defective unit back to the company. Will never buy from them again!
