Just bought

Looks great. Do I have to have the router attached to the dvr or can WiFi be used.

Quality product with a bit of effort

I had tried a wireless system before this, but wasn’t impressed with the quality. With a wired system the quality is much better and there aren’t as many sync issues.

Very poor picture quality

I set mine up yesterday and what a disappointment. The picture quality is terrible. Either buy a £99 system off Ebay because it will probably be better than this or buy a 5mp hikvision system.

Good but no support

The system works well however I have 2 outdoor cameras with water in them and are useless now. I was still suggesting to many people to go with Swann but not anymore. Swann has not replied to any of my emails regarding my faulty cameras, no support at all. Maybe a poor review will get their attention.

Good unit but cameras fail - good luck with support....

Good unit but cameras fail - good luck with support... Did all the standard troubleshooting, switch cables, cameras, port, reboot system Spent over 50 mins with a "tech" person that was reading from a script and had absolutely no clue how to figure out that my camera was actually bad. Very frustrating experience

Easy to install and setup

Just installed this system and very happy with how easy it was to install - essentially plu and play. Hardest part was climbing through the ceiling to run the wires but once these are installed it was simply a matter of plugging everything in then completing the simple setup following the quick install guide. Apps downloaded on both android phone and iPad work well and were simple to install and get working.

Happy with my purchase till now!!

Bought & installed 18 months ago & has been brilliant until last month when one of the cameras just stopped working. Trying to discuss with Swann to resolve this hence only 4 stars

Better than expected

SO I have four cameras running at the moment - will deploy the other four later. Setup was pretty easy and largely didn't need the manual. Getting connected on the smartphone was as simple as installing the app then snapping a picture of the quickcode thingy. You need to be a bit nimble to get the BNCs connected at the back of the unit but that's a product of a compact box. The cables are long and should suit most homes. I found the actual cameras not so easy to mount but that was a combination of rubbish plasterboard, poor wall plugs and a desire to small the wall in with a sledge hammer (which I resisted). The adjustment screws are very tight initially but once loosened, the cameras could be manipulated quite easily. The plastic wrap round the extension wires was a pain as all plastic wrap IS. A pair of scissors would have worked better than trying to find the end and unwrap it all.... but that's just me. Overall, after about 4 hours use, I am pretty impressed. The D-LINK system they replaced was wireless but a continuous pain... These look to be very good.

Great Pkg Deal!

Just set this up and it works perfectly. Now I have a visual on my building and my home. Connected this to a monitor and am very impressed with the quality of the camera's video. Wide enough angle to catch both doors on a 50ft span, reducing my need for 2 cameras to just 1 across the front of my building. Would definitely recommend this high quality product.

Resolution
You'll always know what's happening with Swann's surveillance technology. The 1080p live and recorded video is 4.5x better than the DVD quality (960H or 480p) used in most DIY CCTV systems. Peace of mind comes from being able to see activity in Full HD, with easy identification of facial detail, license plates and clothing patterns.

Cameras
This surveillance system comes with a massive 1TB hard drive & 4 weatherproof PRO-T853 security cameras built tough for the outdoors or indoors. See in the dark up to 100' (30m) with the camera's powerful infrared night vision.

The cameras come with BNC cables. If your property has existing BNC cables, we advise you to test your new system for 2 days with the existing cables before full installation. For optimum performance, we recommend you use the new cables supplied.

Expand your kit by adding up to 4 more cameras for a complete 8 channel home security system, suitable for medium-sized businesses & detached homes for monitoring indoors & outdoors.

Convenience
The HomeSafe Views app ensures you'll always be connected to your home or business, allowing you to see the cameras on your phone or tablet. You can even search the recordings to play them back, wherever you are in the world.

Keep an eye on your kids, babysitter, tradespeople, pets and everything else that matters to you and your family. If you have a business, you can always see the cashier, storeroom, warehouse and check in on your staff's safety and performance. And of course, in case anything happens, you'll have video evidence in 1080p Full HD.

Features

The right security kit for your property
An 8-channel kit suits medium businesses & detached houses, which will need outdoor & indoor monitoring. The included 4 cameras can be installed on the most vulnerable points. You can still add up to 4 more cameras for a total of 8 to cover blind spots you may identify later. Try to imagine yourself as a burglar & think about which weak points of your property you would use to break in & what you want to monitor to know how many cameras you'll need.

Instantly link your phone to the DVR
Once your DVR is connected to the internet, simply install the HomeSafe View app on your smartphone or tablet. Then scan the QR code sticker on the DVR to instantly start viewing the cameras on your device with Swann's peer-to-peer SwannLink technology.

View your home on your phone
You have peace of mind at your fingertips with our easy-to-install, free, HomeSafe View app. You can see the cameras live and play back recordings on your smartphone or tablet, no matter where you are in the world. Keep an eye on your kids or babysitter at home, and monitor your staff and business for productivity and protection.

Massive surveillance grade hard drive
The massive 1TB HDD is designed especially for continuous surveillance recording. Easily transfer incident video files to a USB stick or to a computer on your network. Boost storage by setting up Motion Detection Recording. With such massive storage, you can come back from your long vacation and still find recordings from a while back.

Weatherproof cameras built for any climate
Use them as outdoor cameras or indoor cameras as they are built tough to withstand whatever the weather throws at them: rain, snow, dust and hot days. With IP66 weatherproof rating and cables threaded through the stand for extra protection ensure you can rely on their performance, day in, day out.

See everything day or night
No matter if it's day or night, you'll be able to see everything up to 100' (30m) with the powerful infrared Night Vision. The cameras will automatically switch to Night Vision and record in black and white as the night falls.

Full HD 1080p with HDMI cable
The kit also includes an HDMI cable for generating up to Full HD 1080p video to your flat screen TV including LCD, LED TVs or monitors. The DVR also has a VGA connection for viewing up to 1080p Full HD on your LCD monitor or compatible TV with VGA input. VGA cable not included.

Record only what matters with Motion Detection
Motion Detection lets you select specific areas of each camera's image you want to trigger automatic recording and alerts. This reduces the unnecessary false trigger recordings, such as cars driving in the street, birds & falling leaves, while boosting the HDD's storage capacity.

Smart Search easily finds recorded incidents by searching a specific image area
With Smart Search you can select a specific area of the image to search for movement within the recordings. For example, if something was stolen during a particular hour's footage, you can highlight the position of the stolen object - for example, a laptop, bike or bag - and Smart Search will mark the timeline where it detected motion around that specific area.

QuickShot lets you quickly review recordings from multiple cameras
QuickShot is a time saver to find what you want from recorded footage. This feature lets you search all channels in a given period of time and then select the recordings from the search results to play as a slide show all in the same screen. Once you see an event of interest, such as someone roaming around your car, you can then go into that specific footage to watch the event.

QuickReview plays back various recordings from a single camera
Imagine arriving home to a broken window. Using QuickReview saves you time in identifying how and when it happened. Only one of the cameras will have covered that specific angle but as you can simultaneously play multiple recordings from a single channel, you can watch them all at once. The video is divided evenly depending on the split-screen mode that has been selected. For example, if the video is an hour long and you have selected 4 split screens, each will play for 15 minutes.
