Swann MaxRanger4K Solar 4 Camera Security System with Longest Range Wireless

The swann cameras we have purchased have just been amazing. From the initial set up, we had an alert that wow'd us. Medium sized, brown fluffy dog! A perfect description of our pup sent immediately to our phones. Amazing product.

I did a lot of research on the right system for my home. After looking around online and various forums I was interested in the MaxRanger cameras because it has the latest Wi-Fi Technology that's better at long distances and penetrating through thick walls. have had running for 5 days now, was easy to set up because as soon as you turn on the cameras, they instantly pair to the hub, I connected the hub to my router and scanned QR code, once I connected, I could instantly see on my phone through the APP. I'm getting crystal clear 4K images day and night, excellent night vision, the spotlights are very good, I can easily see 20m or more. Great cameras I highly recommend.

Was a bit skeptical making the purchase given they're solar but the kit was fast to prove its worth. We have a 1950's double brick home and with all 4 cameras outside and 1 about 30 meters away, the coverage is great on all 4. Initially i was accessing the cameras alot which was draining power pretty quickly, but once i left them to do their job and tweaked the settings a little they recharged and have been at 100% at the end of everyday, using about 1% if that of battery charge overnight which recharges pretty quick during the day with the recharge rate on the cameras about 1% an hour with direct sunlight. As its summer, the system is going great, how the cameras handle the -10 winters we get remains to be seen, hoping the extreme cold doesn't damage the camera batteries. Overall a great system and worth every penny :)

I've only had this system a few days but wow, I am seriously impressed so far. I've put one camera on the back fence and another near the front gate and they both live stream within seconds to the app. The picture looks incredible and I had it installed in minutes. The hardest thing was simply screwing in the camera mounts to the fence.

After doing a lot of research into wireless and hard wired systems I was sold on the 4k cameras as I have a two story house originally I was going to get a local security company to install camera system but as usual these days they are to busy so I went ahead and brought the 4. Camera system plus two single cameras picked best place to put them after sinking to the home base put them up they have been great easy to install I brought another 2 camera's to do each side of the house together I have whole house covered and fell secure I check the play back and live cameras every day and they give me a very good picture of comings and goings around the house I am still evaluating the battery duration to see how long the last on full charge I question I would ask is do these cameras have built in solar or do you need a seperate solar panel the top of camera dose have a black rubber top do you remove this to make it a solar panel underneath?

Great and so easy to set up and use. Bit worried re long term weather ability though. Cheap plastic and rubber seals which won't last I fear

Great product, excellent video, easy to install and use, one complaint is the price, I bought and less than 3 days later saw the same product advertised hundreds cheaper

Easy enough to set up but unfortunately some parts of the system does not work, eg turning off the white lights. Not sure if it is the cameras or the app. The online manual is useless as it covers every system so you have to work out what your system can and can't do. Disappointed with my first swan system, be careful when you buy.

We bought the 3 sets of MaxRanger 4K with 4 solar powered cameras. This is the our 5th purchase of Swann CCTV, all previous comets are mains powered. This is our first purchase of your solar cameras. Its ease of set up and video clarity is simply awesome. BUT, and it's a big let down… the batteries on the solar powered cameras is untenable. We bought 3 sets of the CCTV 2 weeks ago and installed it 6 days ago on 29Sep 2024. Before we installed the system, we fully charged all 12 cameras to 100% and then installed the fully charged cameras the next day. Today is day 6 after installation. Of the 12 batteries, only two are holding its charge at 100%! In fact, 2 cameras side by side, pointing in different directions, facing north, on an open air wooden pole registered 100% and 43% respectively! We live in Queensland, south of the tropic of Capricorn. All my cameras are unhindered and 10 of the 12 cameras are in full sun! Here is the current battery charge on all 12 cameras: System 1: 82% (some shade in pm) 100%, 43%, 88% (some shade in am) System 2 83% 53% 96% 31% System 3 46% 74% 74% 100% We've had really hot and sunny days for the 4 days out of 6 after my installation. It is not winter. It's a very hot spring here. How do we replace the non performing cameras? Your assistance would be much appreciated.

Setting-up is easy and video is good. The only problem I have with this model is streaming to my Google max hub. It show a black screen when you try to stream. It also says “Camera unavailable” if I try viewing in the Google Home app. Reolink has better success streaming to my Google Home.
