Decent Security Cam System
on November 5, 2018
Posted by: Michael B.
Replaced an older Swann Security Cam System with this one. Had to get used to the "fisheye" lens but works fine with some cam adjustments and the picture quality is better. I was disappointed with no prerecording options like my old less expensive unit had with multiple prerecord time adjustment choices. This one has a "Prerecord" button in its menu but doesn't appear to do anything as far as doing any prerecording.

Glad we had rebates to help us buy it

We bought this system on 2/23/2019, a camera randomly quit working in June, 2019. Not sure why, never got a notification that it quit working. Yet when we unhook another camera we get notified. Can't seem to get a response from Swann. So I'm not really sure how impressed I am with these cameras.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from swann.comBy Josh V., Customer Service, October 24, 2019
We are sorry to hear about one of the cameras going out suddenly. We have gone through our records and we can not locate a message from you regarding the camera. We were only able to locate one message thread from 2/2019. We recommend contacting our support team for further assistance. They are available 24/7.

Swann Security System
on August 15, 2020

Frequency of use:Daily
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These cameras are very easy to install and have a very cool/easy to use interface. They pick up every movement that occurs and playback is very awesome to look at. The DVR itself is small and fits on the dresser out of the way, and the 60 foot cables are a plus as well. The ethernet cable could be longer because with such a short cord your placement of the DVR is very limited. The app on the other hand could be better it is very poor in quality, not very user friendly, and I have a hard time finding certain playback. Over all though it is a very good unit and I would encourage others to try it out it can keep you and yours safe.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:Yes
It seems that the digital camera is susceptible to deactivation via infrared red light assaults (law enforcement drones). I switched from the analogs, to prevent such problem but it looks like the digital is now also subject to deactivation.☹️
I am very serious! - 4 cameras lost in 4 weeks. Any input welcome - Hope that’s helpful.

Swann 1080P HD

These cameras are outstanding. Clear day pictures with true color. Night pictures are truly amazing. Viewing the pictures on a monitor is like looking out a window.

Great DVR and motion detection is very good, let down by poor mobile app
on January 10, 2018
Posted by: Guest
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.
