I recently purchased a Swann NVW-485 system (in fact I bought 2 packs on a black Friday deal to get 4 cameras). Due to the Wifi range I needed, rather than use the recorders built-in wifi, I found that Station mode was the way to go. With this, I was able to connect 2 cameras directly via my home wifi and an additional 2 cameras using a wifi extender. Just needed to configure each pair separately before powering up the whole lot together. Installation was easy enough, just needing a bit of forethought and some other bits & pieces (junction boxes, split tubing, etc..) to achieve a neat installation. Picture quality is great, even at night time though I wish the infrared LED's provided a more spread beam rather than spot. With the whole system sitting on my home network, I was hopeful I could access the recorder (and recordings) via my PC but no luck with this so far. Maybe I haven't tried hard enough.
