Customer Reviews
Installed this 8-camera kit in our warehouse. The 1080p clarity is excellent, and the night vision easily covers the entire yard. The mobile app setup was straightforward. Highly recommended for business security.
Bought this for my family home. The motion detection alerts give me peace of mind when I'm traveling. BuildMate's delivery was fast, and the cameras have survived the coastal rain perfectly. Great value for money.
Very comprehensive kit. The 1TB hard drive stores about two weeks of continuous footage, which is perfect for my shop. The only minor issue was routing the cables, but the BuildMate support team guided me through it over the phone.
