Great price for 4 cameras and a hub, even if it's a no name brand.
That said, I upgraded a 2K camera to a 4K and now plan to upgrade them all to 4K. If I ever need to pull footage the clarity justifies the increased price to me.
I see several brands having a similar price point with identical cameras. Solium in point, I think they are all the same with different brand names slapped on them.
Just some general feedback for those interested in pursuing this (and similar) products. You are always free to choose and pursue what makes sense to you.
With an off-brand, you are not likely to get any firmware upgrades for security patching. To some, it may not be a concern. For me, it is. In addition, most Chinese brands cameras are well known to send more data, possibly personal data so best that you don't connect these cameras to the internet. Create a separate network that is isolated. If you need to see the video clips and you are not home, configure a VPN on your router then use that to access your home network.
