Swann 8 Camera 8 Channel 1080p Full HD DVR Spotlight Security System

I bought this on special at Bing Lee and was impressed with how easy it was to DIY install and set up. It took me about a day to install an 8 camera system using conduit and junction boxes so as to make installation look neat and tidy. Using junction box for BNC cable connection makes it easier to replace cameras in the future if required. (See photo attached). For a 2K 1080p HD system the video quality is better than I expected and the system works great with the associated Homesafe View App. Setting up the system and associated app is easy with help from the Swann wizard that steps you through the process. Online support and videos available if you are having problem setting up.

Went from a crappy 4 wireless camera system to the Swann 8 camera wired system. No complaints so far. Set up was as simple as stated. Picture is crisp and clear. PIR easy to set up and works great, just a couple small glitches but that can be expected

Someone tried to steal my car last month, so I decided to buy this surveillance system. It's been pretty easy to set up. I haven't put up all the cameras yet, but the ones that are up are functioning well. I work in security, and this system is very similar to the one at my work, so I'm pretty happy about that. It felt very familiar the moment I started using it. Unfortunately, I've been having problems with the Android app. I have to open it about a dozen times before it actually connects, although it might be user error. There are a couple things I still want to try. The iPad app works flawlessly though, so if I can't get the Android app to work, I may just switch to an iPhone since I've been considering getting one anyway. One feature I'd like too see in the app is an audible alarm for specific cameras that's loud enough to wake me up. The person that tried to steal my car did so while I was asleep, and my garage is a separate building. But I've already added door sensors and motion sensors in my garage that are connected to a very loud alarm that's right next to my bed, so I found a simple workaround. The thing I like most about this surveillance system is that insects don't trigger the camera motion detection very often, if at all. I have cameras from another company where insects set off the motion detection about every 5 seconds making the motion detection pretty useless. What's also nice about the cameras is that I don't see as many shady people around my house as I used to. I've already had reason to email photos to the police of people behaving very suspiciously on my property thanks to this surveillance system. Anyway, I'm just glad I bought this surveillance system, because it's protecting me and giving me peace of mind :-)

love the Swann cameras. Great system at an affordable rate. I install security cameras in New Orleans and when people need an affordable system that's reliable I tell them Swann.

I'm very satisfied with the quality of this product and the seller customer service was very satisfying

Great system.... cameras are crisp and clear.

Easy to install quick delivery awesome results

The delivery time and support to get the system set up was excellent, however I was disapointed with the quality if the images that looked distorted particularly when there was movement. Definitely wasn't the quality of the demo footage shown on the Swann Site and definitely couldn't identify people or number plates, even vehicle identification was difficult at 12 meters.

The setup of it all works fine... but trying to find the perfect setting between daytime an night vision is complicated.. the alert areas dont work during night vision properly.. overall average quality

Updates for apps on both android and iPad have made things worse. Do you people actually know what you're doing?
