Swann MaxRanger4K™ Solar 2 Camera Security System with Longest Range Wireless

These were an impulsive purchase. One I'm so glad to have made. The image is crisp and tgey were easy to install.

Swann MaxRanger 4K. I was recommended these cameras by a friend and ended up buying a pair. I live on a 10-acre country property and wanted something that could have a long-range connectivity, as well as a clear sharp image. Well, these cameras don't disappoint, I am amazed at the 4K resolution even at a 400m plus distance. I have one of them set up approx 250m down my driveway so as we can see who is coming onto our property in advance. The image is extremely sharp and the connection to the base station has full bars, the NVR base station also has a backup battery that will keep you connected for up to 5 hours, should your power go down. Another upside is that the solar panel is integrated in the unit with the camera, so, there is no problem with having to deal with 2 separate things. Apparently, the Lithium-ion battery in the cameras is made by Tesla and can withstand lower temperatures and hold their charge longer than the average WI-FI external security camera. Other quality features for these cameras are the quality Sony sensors, siren and spotlights, colour day and night vision and 2-way audio. The Swann MaxRanger 4K security cameras are a real game changer and I would highly recommend them for your security needs which are also ideal for average home, office, business and people with larger properties as its expandable up to 8 cameras. Well done Swann!!!!

Purchased these cameras about 6 weeks ago and was a bit dubious about their effectiveness. After using them, I can happily say I am greatly impressed. We have the two camera, one router system (will by more.add ons when finances allow) one of these cameras faces the sun all day and has 100% charge since 10 May, it is the 15 June now. The other camera is on the opposite side of the house completely covered by the roof with no direct sun at all and after the same time, sits at 50% charge. Picture quality is awesome and ease of playback is good too. It doesn't offer continuous recording, for obvious reasons (battery drain) but tec9rds any events with ease. If you want something that rec9rds continuously, then go for wired. If I could give more than 5 stars I would

I was lucky enough to win a 2 camera Max Ranger system in a Swann promotion. I already have a Swann wired system which has been in operation for around 3.5 years. My existing system had several blind spots, so I took the opportunity to cover these areas with the new Max Ranger cameras. Not only were the new cameras super easy to install, but the vision is crisp, colour is amazing, and night vision is super impressive. As per instructions provided, I charged the units prior to installation, and the solar panels have taken over from this point with the cameras running without further charge since I installed them two weeks ago. The backup battery in the base unit is also a great feature, enabling the system to continue to operate in the event that power is cut. As I have an existing system, I was pleasantly surprised at how seamlessly the Max Ranger units connect into the Swann Security App, with all cameras visible concurrently, across both systems. The lack of requirement to switch between systems is a great feature in my view. As I'm on a suburban block, range is not really an issue for me, but I can certainly say I have had no issues with the Wi-Fi signal. I did find aligning the camera brackets a little trickier than it was with my wired system due to the mechanism design, but once set, the camera brackets were solid and support the cameras well. Overall though, a super impressive system. I'd definitely recommend.

I've installed a 2 camera system on a house in rural NSW and found the cameras to be ideal. Having the cameras powered by solar removes the need for costly electrical work to be done, or the need for placing the cameras in less than ideal spots. One camera has been placed on a non powered machinery shed and for the first time the location is now secure from unwanted nighttime visitors. The ability to run the system with out without internet is also a plus. The NVR can easily be hidden away for more secure recording without the need for a TV or display all the time. With the low data requirements of the NVR to the Swann app when connected to to the internet, it also makes it ideal for connection, via a wifi extender, to a 4 or 5G wifi dongle with a low cost data plan. These cameras are now providing security for a rural property and have already proved their usefulness.

Great system Swann product I bought so far is great.Well packed, shipped intact and complete.Installing and integrating the system was simple.The quality of the components are solid.Included was everything including hardware for multiple installation .Putting the pieces together..it just felt machined and precisely made.The camera quality is superior to all my past cameras.Everything works as it should and has added security for my home.The app is great.I have had zero issues with the max rangers and whole heartedly recommend these to the world

I recently installed the device and found the setup process to be straightforward and user-friendly—installation was easy. However, I've noticed a few performance issues: There is a noticeable delay when connecting to the hub and during app-based monitoring. Movement detection also experiences a slight lag. The wide-angle view is appreciated, but image clarity fades significantly over distance. I hope this feedback helps improve future updates. Please let me know if there are any settings or updates I should try to enhance performance.

Had the Maxranger only about a week. 2 camera's are in full sun. I can't use the 4th camera as I need 1 on charge at all times as the charge runs out daily. I'm busy charging and changing over the camera's everyday with the heat waves we have been having and 2 of the camera's in FULL SUN you would think that the camera's solar panels would be keeping full charge. Please don't respond with things I can do is FULL SUN as the answer has been for everyone else who has said the cameras are in full sun. Or take down the settings as they are needed to be high to do there job. I still don't like just how close you need to be to trigger camera's sensor's. Sometimes the sensors go off when there is nothing there or so delayed what ever it was is gone. Other times the sensors do not pick up cars the same distance as it picks up other times. Can not make out number plates. Can see down the street but hard to make out what things are so not really long view. Basically I sit as security watching the screen all night as our street has had a lot of incidents most nights (some nights multiple incidents) and if I fall asleep chance are the camera might miss the event as I did the other morning out the front of a neighbours house though I do not think the camera would have got a clear recording anyway if I had pressed record manually as it just does not reach that far 44 metres clearly. if I am sitting watching I can press the recored button but I don't always find my full recording in "recordings" It's all very time consuming. To set up the camera's and app I had to agree to a subscription. Yet to look into that as Swann advertises that you don't need to pay subscription fee's. Need clear footage for the police.

Installed these cameras facing the street in both directions to catch cars driving past the house. The quality is not good enough to make out the driver or the car license plate. After 30 days had to take down the cameras to recharge the battery because the solar panel wasn't enough to keep the cameras working.

The solar panels are inefficient and you have to pull the cameras down and recharge them every two weeks and that is over summer. They will not charge on cloudy days so winter will be a nightmare, within six weeks senior light on one dies not work, sensitivity settings are inconsistent, one day everything is being recorded next day nothing. My experiences are reflective of other customers, so it's not a faulty unit that I purchased. I have had other Swann products in the past that performed stay away from this model.
