Great Pkg Deal!
on July 27, 2018
Posted by: Joy A.
Just set this up and it works perfectly. Now I have a visual on my building and my home. Connected this to a monitor and am very impressed with the quality of the camera's video. Wide enough angle to catch both doors on a 50ft span, reducing my need for 2 cameras to just 1 across the front of my building. Would definitely recommend this high quality product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Swann - 4 Camera 8 Channel 1080p Full HD DVR Security System. It has motion and heat detection. I was worried I would be overwhelmed with the be insulation but the directions are very clear and easy to use. It took about two hours to install them in our house and get them up and running. I have the app on my phone so I can check our cameras anytime I want to. It is also set to alert me if anyone comes on our property. The picture and video quality really surprised me. It was very clear like I was watching from my window. Swann - 4 Camera 8 Channel 1080p Full HD DVR Security System Really gave me the piece of mind know my family, animals, and home are safe even when we are not. I highly recommend trying the Swann cameras for every household.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pretty good system with wires

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So if you have the ability to run wires to your camera locations, then this is a pretty solid system. It has motion tracking and motion lights which is nice in the darker areas where the camera are pointed. The wiring is easy and a single cable runs the power as well as the signal which is nice. The unit has tons of storage and more can be added with an additional hard drive. The phone app is a bit old school and not really “modern” but ok and gets the job done. Make sure when you are setting these up you do a dry run and plug everything in before running the wires. The night vision is very good considering how small the cameras are and with the additional lights really makes it easy to see what you are looking at night. It’s only 1080p and not 4K but I’m not really sure that makes a huge difference for something like this. The motion detection is ok but not perfect - I’ve use a lot of these types of cameras and none of them are perfect without some sort of AI processing which requires a monthly fee normally. There are no fees for these which is nice. It’s eight channel so you can add an additional four cameras if you need and works with a wide variety of cameras. Overall if you have the ability to run wires to your camera locations this is a solid choice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Swann security camera system (SWDVK-845804V) is one of the easiest installation and set up security systems that I've installed. Everything needed to secure house is included there's no other purchases etc. What set up the viewing the capabilities is easy and very user-friendly. having its own keyboard makes it easier for setup with a DVR against the standalone TV or monitor. The cameras produces very clear images and videos.The Heat & Motion Sensing + Night Vision works brilliantly. The system comes with 4 cameras but the DVR will allow up to 8 ! Highly recommend this security monitoring system !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These 4 cameras from Swann are great for any home or business.
Download the app, I did that first.
Then I took everything out of the box and read all the instructions.
Each one has a really long wire so there are many many places you can hang these.
I have all 4 outside.
I plugged in the DVR system and set up an account.
It is easy to link phone, computer and DVR.
The picture is very clear. I love how easy it is to see who is around.
Great for security anywhere it is needed. The cameras are easy move and easy to position in even small places.

Easy set up for quality basic 2k 1080p HD CCTV system
on March 11, 2020
Posted by: Fitzscooter
from Sydney, NSW Australia
I bought this on special at Bing Lee and was impressed with how easy it was to DIY install and set up. It took me about a day to install an 8 camera system using conduit and junction boxes so as to make installation look neat and tidy. Using junction box for BNC cable connection makes it easier to replace cameras in the future if required. (See photo attached). For a 2K 1080p HD system the video quality is better than I expected and the system works great with the associated Homesafe View App. Setting up the system and associated app is easy with help from the Swann wizard that steps you through the process. Online support and videos available if you are having problem setting up.
