Simple, easy installation
Customer Rating

The box includes absolutely everything needed for an installation, except for drill and screwdriver. The kit includes pre-made cables that appear to be are at least 45 feet long for each of the 4 cameras. The cables carry power and signal, so no need for separate power at the camera location. Also included are HDMI cable for the monitor and CAT5 cable to connect to internet for remote monitoring. (Many police departments allow you to enable protected camera access for them, which helps secure your neighborhood.)
Picture quality is excellent, and at least one neighbor told me "make sure our driveway is in your picture" after seeing the quality.
I would recommend this to a friend!

When checking with credit card companies, I discovered that I could be liable for a data breach. I switched to a reader supplied by my bank that encrypts to FIS standards.

This device allows you to use your Android phone as a viewfinder for the camera, and to take pictures with the Nikon cameras (D3200, D3300, others).
I would like it NOT to download the photo to the phone immediately after the picture is taken, as I really might wish to shoot another pix immediately.

The 17" Dual Fan Chill Mat with Hub is the ideal solution for owners looking to get the most out of their laptop.
Noisy, not nice

The first one I got had dragging fan blades from day one. The second has a habit of starting out dragging. The trick is to move the laptop around with the cooler unplugged from the USB port, and try plugging it in until the dragging goes away.
Poorly designed, poorly constructed, but it does work once you get it to play somewhat nicely.....

What's great about it: Simple, works with U-Verse box
Purchased for my 92 year-old father-in-law. I removed (and saved) the "TV" button, the "input" button, and one other that proved easy to hit and put the system into a mode that was difficult to recover. Now, we rarely have an issue -- and if we do (usually AT&T box turned off), we can walk Dad through the recovery by phone in a couple of minutes.
Saves frustration for Dad, and for us!

THINKWARE - X330 1080p Full HD Dash Cam - Black
Share high-quality video of your road-trip adventures or have another set of eyes in an incident with this Thinkware dashcam. The 2.7-inch LCD screen offers easy viewing of the camera's angle, and an integrated super capacitator provides dependable use in all temperatures. This Thinkware dashcam takes microSD cards up to 64GB for saving your film.
Can I mount the camera pointing towards the driver and passenger? Will it capture the two including audio? I can then download the digital film for editing? This is for a training video.
Yes to Q1 and Q2, BUT.....
As an Instructional Designer, I would recommend using two cameras, and not to use a wide angle lens (they tend to make people look really bad when close to the camera).
To answer Q3, I have pulled video from the camera (power off, pull SD card, plug to computer, transfer, reinstall card, power on). It is good quality.

How close do you need to be before the dash cam starts recording? How long does it record each time it's activated?
The camera detects motion when the vehicle is parked, such as a person walking by or a car driving by -- and detects shaking of the vehicle by touch or impact -- and records 10 seconds before the motion and 50 seconds after. Continued motion means additional recording time.

I need four cameras for a field the distance of the cameras to the central is of 40 meters each and also I need that a camera is to a height of 20 meters and it is seen with good sharpness
Your question failed to give the important details -- width of the field, distance from (each) camera location to nearest point on the perimeter of the field, and "depth" (i.e., distance from front to back) of the field. The sharpness of the image is not a measure -- rather, the resolution of the camera and the ***effective*** focal length of the lens determine the field of view -- and determine the smallest object that is detectable / smallest identifiable image.
Effective focal length is related to the height and width of the sensor in the camera versus the intended sensor size for which the lens was built. Thus, a 16mm lense may be either a wide angle or a telephoto depending upon the camera onto which it is mounted.
This camera has a 75 degree field of view with a 3.6mm lens.
You can learn to calculate the required lens (for cameras that allow lens changes) or the required Field of View (allowing you to match a camera to your requirement) here: https://www.edmundoptics.com/resources/application-notes/imaging/understanding-focal-length-and-field-of-view/

Will this work with Verizon FIOS?
Most probably. It works with AT&T UVERSE, to control UVERSE box and TV.
