How hard is it to set up?

Not too bad. You need to adults or three kids. It takes about 15-20 mins. It is huge!

very easy just make sure you have room to stretch it out fully and someone to help hold it up

Not to hard. It took me and my husband about 10-15 minutes to set up the first time. Considering it's size, it's not bad at all.

Yes, it's fairly easy. Give yourself an hour the first time you set it up, putting the pole together is a little tricky, but once you've done it once, it's easy, I'd suggest practicing at home first. I set it up alone, but I'm tall, so I'd recommend at least one other person to help out.

It can be difficult if you don't know much about your network settings. I've found Hikvision is one the easier ones to set up. So come back and ask if you have questions while installing. -Victor

Not easily. I did it once out of necessity but wouldn't plan to do it on a regular basis. I haven't encountered any styles that are easy for one person to set up yet though...

Yes. However, I found that it was very difficult to set up. Directions are precise, but ask you to do too many things before it times out. Very frustrating.!

The term "easy" is relative. I would recommend downloading the manual to obtain a good understanding of the install and setup procedures. But, the average person shouldn't have that much of a problem if instructions are read and followed carefully. Rule of thumb: just don't connect and reconnect while any of the components are on! Turn them off and check connections before turning anything on. If in doubt, hire a professional.

One person can set this up/down but it just takes more time. I've done it by myself. You just have to be patient and pull out each corner a bit at a time. It's a bit heavy to drag around but the carrying case has wheels to help with that.

I have not been able to figure out how to set it up yet. Once I do, I will respond back.

It's like setting up a tent... It's a little tricky, but can be done by one person. Definitely easier with two!

Yes. Just download the program to your computer. If you have trouble setting it up, customer service will help you.

I found them extremely hard to set up since there were no instructions provided.

You can do either. It's not hard to set up at all. Just follow the instructions and you're good to go

I guess it depends on your idea of hard. It's about 25 or 30 pieces of wood that are screwed together. It didn't take long to set up (about 4 hours).

I think you can do it either way. Initial set up would be easiest through your computer.

It took two of us about 20 minutes to set it up the first time. We have used it a few times, and now it takes us about 10 minutes tops.

It was not hard to set up. I have older kids so we all set it up together. It is tall, so two people would be ideal. The hardest part to me was the guide lines. The instructions were not clear on how to set these up.
