Everything needed for a solid security camera system was included in the box. Setting up was easy, the most difficult thing being laying the cables throughout the house. The software is easy to use and intuitive. Remote access, on the same network using PC app HomeSafe View, is great because the Swann controller box is in a secure position and not easily accessible. This also makes reviewing recorded footage easy. I would buy again and I do consider this wired setup to be considerably more secure than a wireless system.
