Floodlight Camera System with 4 Cameras and 1TB

After doing hours of research and reading through endless reviews I finally opted to go for this kit as an all round conclusion based on quality vs price and ease of installation based on others reviews.Depending on how you choose to set up the install will depending on any additional purchases you would require. I chose to drill the power cable through the wall and fit a small junction box on the exterior of the house next to each camera to house all the cables. Each IP rated external junction box is only a couple of quid (Screwfix) and I finished off by using some silicone as a precautionary measure to ensure they were fully waterproof.Once each camera was installed and plugged in the hard work is done. As soon as you turn the NVR on they all seamlessly connected and displayed a great picture. At this point its just a case of adjusting the camera angles as desired.The night vision is pretty good and the added bonus of getting sound is another plus for the money you pay for this kit, especially when compared to other units with similar capability.Motion detection is fantastic and gives you brilliant 30 second alerts to view once you have the mobile app set up.The mobile app itself is fairly easy to set up on any device and allows you to playback and record any footage desired.There are many settings that can be played about with to get this unit as desired for the more technically minded individual, but again as a novice the basic set up is perfect and will work fine for someone who does not need to do so.I had a technical issue with the playback on the NVR and contacted customer support through the Whatsapp option.This is where you really get a sense of joy/confidence from the purchase made. Milly was extremely helpful and was constantly in contact until the issue was resolved for me with step by step instruction to help problem solve (a simple software update was required to fix with some setting tweaks).To concludeI have now had this system just coming up to 2 months and can honestly say that its one of the best decisions I have made for additional security in my house. Others who have also seen the set up (friends/family) in full working order have now purchased the same kit.The customer service from Tonton is fantasticOnce again thanks Milly for all your support to get the system up and running.

++ Good picture quality, sharp clear images, reasonable view angle, has clear audio recording and pir feature (i could not find any other camera with both these features), fast recording playback over mobile.+ Extreamly good customer service. Very understanding and helpful. Can be contacted over email or whatsapp and very quick response.+ Repeater feature and extra anttena makes wireless connection better. Else can be difficult through multiple walls.* Not easy to install outside. Have to be competent with DIY. The thin adaptor cable does not appear to be weather proofed.. the cable connected to camera is too thick to pass through any walls. This makes safe installation a bit difficult.*Not an issue with the camera.. buy there is no option to adjust night vision sensitivity. It changes to grey IR vision well before it gets dark and even a 10000 lumen flood lamp does not help revert it to full colour vision!5yr update: unfortunately the NVR has stopped working. The unit is not powering up.. Not power supply issue. Assume something in the board has failed.

I installed this Tonton system (1080P, NVR, 1TB, 4 x PCS) just under a year ago, so I am in a reasonable position to provide a review of this product.The original reasons for purchasing this product were:1. The need for a strong wifi signal to carry over a reasonable distance, so I could position a camera at least 150 feet (45 metres), approximately from the NVR in the house. I thought the “repeat” function from one camera to another might be useful in trying to achieve this.2. I required a system that had its own internal wifi system that would not take up bandwidth from my own internal home wifi.3. Something that was easy to install, “plug and play”4. The ability to view the cameras from a number of devices; mobiles, desktop, etc..My experience has been that all these requirements have been met.Firstly, it was, as stated in the promotional literature, very easy to set up. Just following the instructions, I had the first camera installed and displaying images on my mobile within one hour. I had not really expected it to go that well! It was then a matter of locating the optimum siting for coverage that would also give the necessary wifi signal strength, then installing them. One particular camera (as stated in my requirements) needed to cover access to our fields from the stable block. I was really pleased that I was able to achieve this without using the repeater function. The camera was installed at the end of the stable block, which is about 150 feet from the middle of our house. Bearing in mind our house is very old, circa 1400AD, with very thick walls, it does show that the Tonton system does have very good signal strength.I have installed the monitor app (ismKit) on Windows 10 desktop, Apple iPads and mobiles (Android). I also bought a 10” monitor to connect directly to the NVR. I do think this is worthwhile as you have access to more detailed options, especially when it comes to “playback”. It is much easier to select past dates and times for viewing, also a lot quicker than using the ismKit app on the other devices. It is really useful being able to view the cameras in real time from the other devices, especially when away from home or on holiday. In our situation it is not just the security that matters but being able to keep a check on our horses is very reassuring.My only criticism of the ismKit is that each app on the individual devices (iPad, Android, etc.) has a different user interface, but this is only a minor irritation.The only other criticism I have, but I do not believe is unique to the Tonton system, is that I would have liked to have plugged the external cameras into 13 amp weatherproof sockets (IP66), but unfortunately the shape of the plug does allow one to close the cover. I still used weatherproof sockets but ensured that they were not exposed to the elements.Overall, I think it is an excellent product, it does what it says, and it has been reliably running now for the last eleven months.
