Side by Side Comparison of: Funlux vs VideoSecu vs Masione vs EastVita

I have the system installed with only 3 cameras so far and it works well. I had some difficulty getting smart phone app to work, but after much research I found Meshare to install on smart phones and am now able to view cameras from nearly anywhere.

I purchased this system to help watch over my elderly mother, who wants to stay in her home instead of being placed in a nursing home.

I bought this system and installed it over a few weeks, a little at a time just to see how everything worked......and I loved it. I was a little apprehensive when I saw all of the parts and such but its not hard at all. Also, this company worked with me 100% on all issues. They were courteous and very fair about things. A GREAT experience and I highly recommend this system and this company!

Not full 1080p but in good lighting it has pretty great resolution, in darker areas it also see's pretty well, when it's too dark it switches to night vision/black and white, and can see pretty well in the dark. I think this is a pretty solid purchase, very easy to set up and use. For the price you get a lot of bang.

As advertised. Please be aware the cameras do not move. Where you point tgem is where you see. Night vision works great. No issues working with my Android phone.

All parts received were as advertised and shipped in a timely manner. 100% Satisfied with purchase.
I would have liked for the dome cameras to have been white, but other than that no issues.

This camera system is easy to install, it was just right for a small place in a house. But it works fine and its incorporated with my television so especially at night its easy tot switch for me

This system is very good!!! The only problem I have is that we bought it in Oct 2015 for $215 and now it is $109!!!!!! Disappointed with that!!

good

Great produc! Easy to install...

I purchased this as a gift for my Grandma. So far it has been great. I did have to buy longer cables to reach the far ends of her house.

Pros:
* Easy to setup
* The video quality is decent and the night vision is also pretty good.
* You can access the camera feed from a smartphone
* The DVR unit is compact and relatively easy to use.

Cons:
* The Android app wouldn't register the device via the barcode. Luckily I have an iPhone the iOS version registered the device perfectly, and the android version was ok after that.
* Smartphone app can't can't playback DVR recordings, unless you are on the same local network.
* You must use the mouse, there is no remote. I am going to see if I can get a remote that has mouse functionality for her later (USB receiver). Not sure if it would work on something like this.

Well, it work good but the cam is very low resolution! i can see in my phone, work good in phone but another system is better, sorry. bye

Cameras are good, DVR did no less more than few month. It maybe badluck ?

Product works great but as description explained below, 4 dome and 4 bullet cameras come in package, well I got all bullet. I needed the dome cameras . Way state dome when they give you bullets

Funlux KS-Y88ZUH-1T-N 8 Channel Full 960H DVR Surveillance System with 1TB HDD HDMI Output 4 Dome & 4 Bullet High Resolution IR-Cut Night Vision Security Cameras QR Code & Push Alerts on Cell Phones

It's okay one of the camera did not work. When night you cannot really see clear you can't see very far and make out if anyone walks by unless you know the person .

These cameras work fairly good but the mobile application that is needed to monitor away from home does not work very well away from my home. I may and try to get a third party application for mobility. You get what you pay for.

I purchased this system in Jan. 2016, and wanted to allow ample time using it before posting a review. 8 months later, I can say with confidence that it's a crappy system with SUPER crappy customer service. You get what you pay for. Connecting 8 cameras from different parts of our house, to one location where the DVR/hard drive would be located, was a royal pain - so much so, that we had to enlist the help of my partner's brother who is a master electrician by trade (and my partner is a very savvy handyman in his own right, so for him to be stumped is a real testament to the difficulty in rigging this up). Beyond that, we followed the instructions to download the Zsight app for remote viewing on our phones. It didn't work no matter what we did. After calling customer service and being on hold for a solid 30 minutes before speaking to a real person, we learned that there was a different app (MeShare) that we should download - absolutely nowhere in the instructions or documentation was this other app mentioned. We literally never would have figured this out on our own. The MeShare app does work, and it has been great to use while we are out of town and away from our home. The system operates fine when it's actually operating - the cameras are generally reliable and provide relatively clear footage. We went back to review footage on a few occasions and discovered quickly that it is best to download the footage to a USB and then plug into our computer to review - the system allows you to fast forward at a maximum 8x speed, but I actually timed it and did the math and it is NOT 8x speed. Much, much slower. Making footage playback a miserable experience if you're just using the system. We are now 8 months into using the system and have hit what might be our final straw. The system spontaneously stopped recording footage four days ago. Since installing the system we have had the hard drive set to "overwrite" as it became full - meaning it would overwrite the earliest data on the system with new data. So we constantly have the last ~15 days of footage available to us. Suddenly this is not the case. I have tried 6 times now to format the hard drive on the system, and although a dialogue box appears saying it is being formatted, upon completion our hard drive storage has not been wiped clean and remains full. We have unplugged, reset, shut down, restarted, refreshed, formatted, OVER AND OVER AGAIN, and the hard drive absolutely will not wipe clean. As I type this, I am also chatting with a clueless customer service rep about this, which is what prompted me to leave a review. She has been completely useless. See for yourselves:

Me - Aug 7, 2016 4:40pm: I have a Funlux 8-ch DVR camera system, and it has spontaneously stopped recording. It is set to "overwrite" when the hard drive is full. (has been set to overwrite since we purchased the system in January of this year). I have tried 5+ times to format the hard drive, and although a dialogue box appears saying that it is being formatted, nothing happens and my hard drive remains full. I have also pressed the reset button on the back of the system, and nothing happens beyond asking me for login credentials, date/time/region, etc.

Rep - Aug 8, 2016 12:41am: Hi

Rep - Aug 8, 2016 12:42am: You can uncover the DVR, take the HDD out and connect with your PC, then format in your PC

Me - Aug 7, 2016 4:43pm: Okay, that's a temporary solution, but then what happens when it fills up again and once again does not follow the "overwrite" command?

Rep - Aug 8, 2016 12:45am: Sometimes, it will have such problem, but not everytime

Me - Aug 7, 2016 4:46pm: If we have this issue again, we will have no choice but to stop using this system. I assume this issue should be covered under warranty since it is a product defect?
[11 minutes elapse without response]
Me - Aug 7, 2016 4:57pm: Please confirm - If there is a device defect, is it covered under warrant?

Rep - Aug 8, 201612:58 am: is this problem happened often?

Me - Aug 7, 2016 5:00pm: This is the first time. My point is, if it happens again I need to know that we will be refunded or allowed an exchange of the system. You said "sometimes, it will have such a problem, but not every time" - which sounds to me like it could happen again.

Me - Aug 7, 2016 5:00pm: It shouldn't even be happening this time. I should be able to send it back right now for a refund or exchange. But I am willing to give it another chance.
[another 11 minutes have currently elapsed and she has not responded yet]

So... there you have it folks. Don't bother. Even if the system was somewhat difficult and crappy, the customer support reps are TERRIBLE.

Camras work amazing but the dvr its self froze after 3 days of working tryed to reset but the button on the back doesn't even work

I am only giving 2 stars because the picture quality isn't too bad. HOWEVER, This product came in with no type of manuals or anything to give guidance on how to operate and or navigate the system. Then my cameras stopped and after calling tech support I was advised it was cause the memory was full and wasn't set to rewrite after it got full and it can't be deleted by the owner if the full point has already been reached. Also, pertaining to the memory they do not tell you you can only get about a week on the full memory if operating all cameras. Lastly I just found out when i called tech support that what i paid for the system on amazon was actually more then they sell it for themselves. Do yourself a favor and find something better. I was cheated by Amazon on price and not given materials to full know what to do or how to do anything with this system.

They told my that It's not compatible with my 60hz tvs so it sits in the box tull I buy a new 120hz tv

product is crap. can't keep the camera still. i had to jerry rig it. the cable went out on me. had a few died on me. what a waste of money. pay for what i get. wouldn't recommend it to anyone. buying it is a waste of money

Hooked it all up and the system overall works good but there is no manual for operating it, have played around and figured out a few functions.
Cameras have good picture and the night vision works well but the sound doesn't work for any of the camera's and the app for your phone has been riddled with problems, it has been over a month and they still haven't fixed the phone app so you can not view the snapshots.
I would not purchase this system again if I had it to do over!
Update 03/01/2017
This camera system is the worst, the ap for viewing on your phone will not even work any more and I have contacted the manufacturer and they are not any help, it worked up until they had an update on the ap and every since it has not worked and that has been six months ago.
I'm currently shopping for a new DVR to hook all my cameras to.
Do yourself a favor and don't buy this brand!

The system worked good and I couldn't have been happier.... for 3 days!!! After that the mobile viewing on the app quit working (unless I was connected to my home WiFi), and about 10 days after install the whole system would just turn on and off every 45 seconds. Good luck reaching anyone through their customer support, that's like finding a talking M&M riding a unicorn down the street. The company and their product are complete junk.

I took about 3 hours to install the system and it worked great, 10 minutes later the DVR flashed 'loading' on the screen and never stopped. I unplugged the unit, pressed the restart button and nothing. I went on the Funlux website and it said if you bought this item from Amazon, you have to call them for returns or help. I called amazon and they said i couldnt just return the DVR for exchange, and offered me a 20% discount if I kept the unit and went for outside help to have it repaired, i said no, the manufacture is responcible, amazon then said the whole system would have to be returned,so i had to remove the cameras and ALL the wiring and sent the whole thing back. I wasted 8 hours on my day off

cannot connect to see out of the home network. paid a tech. to come and see if he could fix it in case I was doing something wrong.. but unfortunately it wont work.
