Everything is in the box to get started. Front and rear power/camera cables are long enough to get where they need to go. Set up is mostly straight forward for the basics but it is frustrating trying to decipher and apply anything more complicated, like adjusting resolution, time/date (which ended up correcting itself, whew) and length of time for each video capture. Ringing the product manufacturer to sort out how to download their app to allow enhanced display when viewing the files on a laptop was responded with “the app is not available for iOS”. Overall so far the actual product does exactly what I wanted - clearly records front and rear to verify facts of any incidents.
