Just installed the GW Security 5MP PoE system and wow – the video quality is crisp! The 4K NVR handles all 16 cameras smoothly, and the color night vision actually works (unlike my old system).

The PIR heat sensing is no joke – it ignores squirrels but alerts when humans approach. Though sometimes it gets triggered by my neighbor's black SUV baking in the sun...

Two-way audio? Meh. You basically need to scream into your phone app to be heard outside. Wind turns conversations into static soup. Great in theory, frustrating in practice.

Here's the real MVP – GW's support team. When I had HD issues, Alejandro walked me through diagnostics like a patient saint. Their warranty actually means something – rare these days!

Motion blur is real though – license plates become unreadable unless vehicles are parked. And after 18 months, two cameras mysteriously died (ports were fine).

Final verdict? Solid hardware with some quirks, backed by exceptional service. Would I buy again? Maybe – but only because I know support has my back.
