First time buying a home security system. So I don't have much to compare this system with. However, from the packaging (extremely well protected and organized), to the very intuitive set up procedures when connecting your cams to the NVR before installation, to the immediate recognition of the cams on the Eufy App once the cams are plugged into the NVR with the provided cat5 cables, to the user friendly settings and functions the system and cams offer including the easy to navigate App, I am totally blown away with everything so far. I mean everything. Night vision, ability to pick up and track movements automatically, very fast almost instant notifications, ease of use for the app, I mean I can go on and on. Absolutely incredible in my opinion. I would most definitely buy again. I do hope the system withstands time/weather elements, etc. If it does, 5 stars in my opinion is simply not enough stars.
