Decent deal for sure, but my only reservation about that system is the fact that it's using coax instead of ethernet for the cameras. You end up with lower overall camera performance (hence only 15 FPS @ 4MP) and you can't manage cameras individually through their IP.

But for the price, which is the advantage of BNC cameras, you really can't complain. You're getting four cameras and a DVR, you'd pay more than that for a single Netgear Arlo Pro 2 with its base station. You also don't have to worry about the possibility of Chinese cameras calling home (though a separate, restricted VLAN takes care of that).

Are you running the coax yourself?
