The cameras are 960P HD cameras with wide screen aspect ratio. Which in reality isn’t much of a difference (120 pixels) when it comes to definition and detail in stored footage. The clarity will be just as stunning as a true 1080 file. The price can’t be beat for the value. Great for mid-sized homes or even use it in your RV!#3

Smonet is new to the Top 5
Outdoor Cameras Go Wireless
#2
Smonet has risen to the challenge. They have created this smart and feature driven package for home security. It has 8 wireless outdoor cameras and only needs power wires for cameras and the NVR. Great for fence lines or property easements where cable routing can’t be done. Think of getting an alert and the camera at the west fence set it off. This is nearly doubling as a trail camera if you think about it. Minus the power connection. Stunning 960P HD picture quality. Sadly this is the only one of the top 5 security cameras that does not include a hard drive. We’ve got you covered cause we offer hard drives…so sad it doesn’t come with that but it just means you can build it large or small as your needs see fit…When you order thru CameraSecurityReviews.com Satisfaction is 100% Guaranteed!#2
