Tonton 8-Channel Wireless Security Camera System with 1TB Hard Drive Storage

Shopper JAC: I bought the Tonton 1080P Security Camera System Wireless, 8CH NVR Recorder with 2TB HDD and 4PCS 2.0 MP Outdoor Indoor Bullet Wireless IP Cameras with PIR Sensor
I knew from researching and checking out other peoples, mostly my friends systems that motion detection isn’t a solution where I live. Were in the high foothills where there are a lot of trees, shadows, etc. Get a little breeze and every camera comes alive trying to tell you about it.
Through my research, this is the only system I found that has PIR (Passive Infrared) which detects heat, at an affordable price. It’s very similar to the detection system used on trail cameras so it just detects animals, people, cars etc. The bottom line is with PIR, your false alerts and event recordings will be greatly minimized as compared to just the motion detection systems.
I hooked everything like its shows in the quick user’s guide and very limited manual that it comes with. I just set up everything up on my desk where my computer is and everything came on. It was truly plug and play. I actually use my computer monitor and just switch back and forth between video inputs. So knowing this all worked, I...

Retired-Tech: The cameras give a clear image. The features are better than most other products. The nighttime LEDs are visible red light which can be seen by intruders and attracts bugs and therefore spiders. The pir function helps a bit with eliminating false alarms but does not work that well. Customer service was good at first but when they couldn't help me with firefox browser issues replies to my questions stopped.

BenBen: Product came obviously used and returned as there was damage noticed on the modem station as well as the camera lights or sensors were pushed completely inside the camera housing. The antenna was stretched so far only the plastic molding was in tact but the wire was stripped. I will be returning. This was a waste of time now, I really needed these operational this week. Having a dislike for a product is one thing but shipping out a defective or returned unit that cost $500 is a joke. The packaging was completely intact and no signs of damage upon delivery. Do not take a chance and waste time and money like I did. Going to have to try another route now. Hopefully I can find some other options.

Ed in Colo: I recently purchased a Tonton 1080P Full HD Wireless Security Camera System, 8CH NVR Recorder with 2TB HDD and 4PCS 1080P 2.0 MP Waterproof Outdoor Indoor Bullet Cameras. This is my first impression review as I have only had the system a few weeks.

First, I purchased a very similar security camera system on October of 2017. That system also came with 4 cameras and with a 2TB hard drive purchased separately was right around $300. That system was decent for what I consider a budget system. But my biggest issue with the system is that it’s motion sensing function was just too sensitive. I set the system up to send me an email whenever it sensed motion from one of the cameras. I would get between 400 to over 1000 emails a day. 90% of those were simply due to the shadows moving in the wind or a similar circumstance. I believe the way the system works is it uses software to compare pixels or groups of pixels to look for changes in intensity (i.e. dark to light or light to dark). I tried many things from lowering the intensity and only selecting an area of the image to trigger on and still got the 400+ emails a day.

Otherwise, the rest of that...

TrevorTrevor: I would definitely recommend these cameras. 4 cameras, 8 channel NVR, and 2tb hardrive are certainly more than most offers come with. The 4 cameras are solidly built and seem watertight. They are metal, not plastic. My house has white trim so the white cameras blend in well but are still noticeable. I’ve mounted 2 outside already and have the other 2 sitting in windows until my backyard is fenced so I can determine the positioning I want.

Setup was as easy as plugging everything in and running an HDMI cable to my TV. The cameras connect as soon as they’re plugged into the wall socket (important to note, wireless refers to the camera feed, not power! So many negative reviews on wifi security are because people didn’t realize the cameras would need to be plugged in). The hard drive was formatted and ready to record onto.

I mounted one camera at my front door and one over my driveway. For both, I put a 7/8” hole into the framing of my house (had to be that big for the optional network cord to go into the wall) and ran the power cable into the interior to a 110v plug. In my garage I needed a longer power cable so I purchased some 22AWG speaker...
