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

Swan 4 cam with 8 channel DVR

I was very pleased with this newer system. I have an older 3yrs old system with Pro 640 cams and the resolution was not very good. However I am displaying it on a 65" TV and that's a pretty big screen. I decided to upgrade with the newer system with 1080 cams...WOW!...Really good definition...Big difference. I'm pleased. My only complaint with Swan cams is they sometimes just burn out or lose color after a year or more. Swan promptly sent me more cams to replace the ones that quit. So I decided to stay with them. The new system is really very good and I'm glad I stayed with them.

Good system with Remote smartphone access

I bought this to replace another system that I was never able to connect remotely. Most important asset for this is the remote access via Android device. I had an issue connecting the DVR in the desired location, so called tech support. After going thru multiple prompts to get to the correct area for my issue, tech support was available right away. She walked me thru a logical step by step process to determine exactly where the problem was. Turns out it was the wire in my house. I've installed 2 of the 4 cameras at previous camera locations, so no wire runs were needed. The picture looks sharp, tho a little 'fisheye' when viewed thru the Android app. I have not had the chance to view on a full screen monitor. All the connections are pretty easy. The most difficult part is the wire runs, which I will need to re-run 3 or 4 wires that were there before.

The picture is great in daytime or night. That was the main reason i went with Swann. The mouse that comes with it is really bad. The curser jumps all over the place and is very slow at times to move. It would be nice to be able to set up the system using your computer, but could not figure out how to do that. Once the users are in it takes a while for them to get into the system.

Amazed by the night vision

Just finished installing this unit and very pleased, with the quality of the product and the ease of installation. I sat Sunday morning dreading tackling the project but within a few hours, all wires ran and cameras installed. System setup was easy and love the ability to view my property when Im at work. Money well spent.

Clear video, good value

Good product value. Box had recommended professional installer network, which I did. Clear video from camera witb excellent clarity. Wishes the playback feature would be more interactive and wish it would have featured "overlay" for ease of review. As it is now, the playback & review is very manual & can involve looking for a needle in a haystack. My other single camera with Comcast / Xfinity features motion sequence review for ease.

1st installation ever

I completed a temporary installation to determine the best location for the cameras. Installation was simple. I used a VGA cable to connect to my monitor. The picture is very good. I especially like the fact that I can view the images on my smartphone when traveling. There are many features that I still need to learn how to use.

So far so good

I guess I hadn't kept abreast of the latest CCTV technology since 15 years ago so I was quite impressed that I could get 1080p in a 1TB DVR package that included 4X 1080p cameras for the price I paid. I also got an extra SWPRO-1080FLB-US camera (55 degree viewing) which included audio for the 40 long kitchen/family room. I'm very happy with the product so far. The 1080FLB is hooked to channel 1 with audio working fine. Fine tuning the motion/sensitivity settings at the moment to balance false positives (true negative) with record time. Easy to find motion events configure settings both on web PC remote page and on Android app. Email alert is great if on vacation or if DVR get's stolen, photos of "intruder" are preserved. (I set up dedicated email account more for the back up photos than to be alerted. Also set all channels (main and sub-streams) to VBR and setting the main stream to 1500 Mbps and sub to 80 kbps. I find the h264 codec VBR does a good job at these rates balancing detail and motion and going to higher rates is really going to give diminishing returns considering it's surveillance footage. I think if the installation is done with care (no sharp bends, gentle forces when running the cable, and no deforming cable with attaching clips. Tip: I used a drill to untwist each 50++ foot cable before running. I recommend hiding DVR in locked ventilated box and have a decoy DVR with fake cables Overall impressed for the price paid.

Swann 8 Channel DVR Specifications

About Swann 8 Channel DVR

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.
