Swann Night Vision 1080p Channels 4 Hardwired Smart DVR Security Camera System

Bought this swann cctv system for added security and I could not be happier with my purchase! set up was very easy following the instructions and the picture quality is amazing! with good area coverage per camera with the added bonus of being able to view cameras on my smart phone via the "Swann homesafe view app" and receive notifications on my phone when the heat sensing cameras are activated i would definitely recommend swann cctv systems

Very happy with purchased, great video quality and fairly easy to set up Wired system so was time consuming installation

I purchased this security camera because my daughters 2 cars were broken into and one of them crashed and written off. A neighbour on the corner caught this whole event on camera and was apprehended and jailed. With the quality of the images I am sure if anyone broke into my yard or house during the day you would have no problem recognising the person. The night vision IR you have a 50/50 chance of a recognition Overall this day and age I think it was wise to purchase and install a security system with the increase of house burglary. There are 2 things which I found could be improved 1/ Label the ends on the cables i.e. DVR -CAMERA ,I did look before installation but I still managed to turn one around. 2/ Longer Mouse Cable as you want to hide the DVR in a inconspicuous position not on display.

Owned system now for 2yrs, unfortunately car broken into just out of front yard at 523am unable to identify person. Have added a IR Illumunation light that plugs direct to camera power. Will be adding another next week.

This has replaced an older SD DVR and cameras. Setting up was very simple, although two cameras are on 30m cables and the PIR detection wouldn't work until I added power supplies nearer to the camera, I presume due to voltage drop over this distance. Max cable length for the PIR to work isn't mentioned anywhere in the manual, as far as I could tell.

There are no instructions with the box for setting up the dvr recordings. It was necessary to go on to the Swann website to download adequate instructions.

I bought this late last year, we finally got it installed in January . unable to get anyone to do this so we managed to install it ourselves. Used while away on holiday so it did provide us some peace of mind but it was very random in what was detected. One night a moth set it off. I have noticed cars will activate recording but a neighbor walking into same area may not activate sensor.

Like Animal House my unit is failing already after less than 3 months. The hard drive was making a noise so I undid the box and found that the hard drive installed is not surveillance rated (as per Swanns recommendations in the manual!) and is therefore not fit for purpose. Also, the Android software leaves a lot to be desired.

This is the second swann cameras I have had the first one lasted about 3 years second one just over a year I did notice a noise from hard drive just after I bought it should of sent it back but didn't it has now packed in great product easy to set up on mobile etc but don't think I will get this make next I think they should last longer

reading the sales pitch its states that you will be able to see faces and read number plates from the clear images. This is not true in the slightest. My car is parked approx 8m away and even in clear light, people are unable to read back the letters on the plate. the cameras are completely useless other than 'seeing whats outside'!! The user interface in the app does not allow synchronised playback of mutliple cameras or if it does i cannot find how to apply it. if i hadnt installed the cables in the cavity walls it would have been returned to store as not fit for purpose. To say I am disappointed by the set is an understatement and even more annoyed that to get a picture that might be of some use i will have to gamble on another Swann product. The gamble being if it does as they say and also if it works with my DVR, which my father has found with his system, it has been outdated meaning that any new type of camera will not work due to its age (5~6 years)
