" ... You can also just connect some of the cameras as wired and some as wireless. ... However, one of the reasons that I bought this system over another wireless system was because of a review that stated that this system has little if any interference with other WiFi systems. ... "

" ... You can use the cameras as a signal repeater, however, I would be great a little more of signal coverage. ... "
" ... Great range and clear pic of who is coming and going and walking on the sidewalk . ... "
" ... This set only came with 2 Booster Antennas, I think I might need to purchase more. ... "
" ... It has built in wifi for cameras connected to nvr device automatically. ... "
" ... You can also just connect some of the cameras as wired and some as wireless. ... If you can find locations where the signals from the NVR and cameras can easily pass, then this system is the one for you. ... In some cases, I had to order some extended range antennas from Amazon (9db) to help boost the signal, but I was able to get this system to work and provide good pictures. ... where my cameras and NVR were too far away from each other for a clear signal, I was able to use the Dreamliner feature to extend my range. ... And as I mentioned earlier, I found that using some extended range antennas was also helpful. ... However, not only do the extended range antennas boost the signal, they also have a cable attached to them that allow you to mount the camera at one location and mount your antennas a short distance away (14 inches), which in my case could move the antenna around a corner to avoid an obstruction. ... "
" ... Wifi Coverage ----> 5 Star ( 4 cameras are covering my whole home without any issues, yes it's a bit slow than real time but it's wifi) ... "
" ... Turning on Dreamliner is a hunt, but for our roughly 5,000 square foot yard, the reception is great. ... "
" ... I also mounted one of the cameras out back on my shed, (about 300ft away) and it still has a very strong signal but my receiver is also on the back side of the house directly in front of a window, not a wall. ... The cameras on the front side of the house have a much weaker signal but still operate ok, I am hopeful to increase their signal using a repeater or a low loss antenna extension cable. ... "

" ... I purchased this unit because the NVR provides it's own isolated wi-fi network. ... I've tried other brands/setups where the cameras use the existing wi-fi network in my home and as you can imagine, 8 cameras transmitting HD video simultaneously hogs all of the wi-fi bandwidth making it impossible to use the wi-fi for general internet/email/streaming/etc. ... Having all 8 cameras on their own self-contained wi-fi network solves this completely and makes the system as reliable and consistent as a wired system would be. ... "
" ... The phone app worked once the NVR was connected to my router. ... "
" ... Even cheaper and older wifi cameras I have owned in the past worked better than these, although inside next to the NVR the picture is crystal clear and wonderful, but it does me no good outside. ... "
" ... It has built in wifi for cameras connected to nvr device automatically. ... One camera has built in wifi problem. ... "
" ... I love that it's wireless and has it's own WiFi to communicate with the box and cameras. ... "
" ... Secondly, I liked that the system doesn’t bog down your Wi-Fi. ... "
" ... It is only as secure as your network, so make sure you know how to set up secure wifi. ... "
" ... When you add NVR to app, please use Cloud ID, instead of IP Address. ... Cloud ID allows for remote access, while IP address allows for local access only. ... "

" ... It's hard to complain about this because they've actually provided MORE wiring than necessary at more expense to them, but I'm OCD about visible wires and I would have preferred wiring that was more compact and less cumbersome. ... "
" ... The difference between a wired and a wireless system is that for the wired system, you have to string wire from the master station to each of your cameras and for the wireless system you have to string wire from the nearest power source to each of your cameras. ... And while I am on the subject of multiple buildings, if you directly string wire between equipment in multiple buildings and the power for each of the buildings is not from the same service transformer, the ground plane for each of the buildings could be different and you could fry your equipment. ... So that is an advantage of a wireless system in that the equipment is connected by way of radio waves instead of wires. ... Their ends were compatible with those of the antennas, but the signal appeared to get lost in the 30ft cable. ... I am also happy that I did not have to string wire all over our facility to make this work. ... "
" ... The reason is that I cant stand to even TRY to route cables all over the house. ... "
" ... Best thing is no wires ... "
" ... It was very easy to pair the camera's with the NVR by connecting them with a network cable. ... "
