Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Sentinel 3 system works very well. Purchased in February 2009 after a December 2008 burglary at my house. Hooked all eight cameras up and tested views/angles first, before finalizing camera/DVR locations. Found out that you don't want the camera behind glass or facing each other in order to prevent nighttime "bounces" or hot spots.) I have an L-shaped rancher with lots of windows and 3 exterior doors, plus garage door and am trying to cover all the doors and most of the windows. Was fairly easy to install, except worst part was crawling around in my attic pulling wires. A couple of the camera "ball" mounts had to be tightened with pliers. DVR cooling fan runs continuously and makes noise. Recommend getting a UPS and plug strip to power all the cameras and monitor. The 8.5 inch monitor is small when viewing all cameras on split screen. I have added a video splitter so that I can view the display on a regular size screen in another room. Would be nice to have a DVR remote so that you can change viewing/settings from another room. I can view it remotely on my home network, but need to change router settings so that I can view from my office at work all the time. Might add a few more cameras since DVR will handle eight more. Also installed a GE Simon XT in addition to the cameras.
