Super easy installation and great quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Swann 4 camera DVD security system is super easy to install and has lots of great features and can be expanded to 8 cameras.
For the installation I simply followed the instructions step by step and all of the cameras worked first off. The kit includes 4 60' camera cables which should reach most places. I used the VGA port on the 1TB 1080P DVR to plug into my computer monitor and it works very well. The DVR includes a mouse for easy setup and control. You can also use the Swann app on your smartphone or Google Assistant or Alexa
The weatherproof cameras feature heat sensitive motion sensors as well as sensor warning lights to warn anybody approaching. The DVR is supposed to provide up to 6 months of free recording which should be more than adequate for most people.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great security

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Swann 4 camera DVR system is great.
I feel way more secure now that we have some security cameras.
There are 4 cameras with 60ft of cord per camera...
make sure that you read all of the instructions included in the box before you start using your cameras. You can set up your cameras anywhere you want as long as it will reach 60 ft back to the DVR. Make sure you set your DVR up before trying to pair your devices because that will need to be done first. This DVR and camera set is great for anyone looking for extra security.
The quality of the video is fantastic and it records everything on the DVR so it is great to be able to rewind and look at anything.

Clear and bright picture quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Swann 4 camera 8 channel security system is very easy to install with lots of great features. You can expand it to 8 cameras as well, but for now I will be using 4.
The installation went without any problems. I just followed the instructions step by step and all of the cameras worked first off. I plugged the VGA computer monitor port into the huge 1TB DVR and the 1080P picture quality is great. The camera cords are each 60ft long so it should reach most places. The cameras feature "True Detect" which detects heat and motion as well as senor warning lights for when somebody approaches. The DVR comes with a mouse for easy setup and control. You can also use the Swann app on your smartphone or use Google assistant or Alexa for hands free control.
This system works great and is so simple to use. I was concerned it would be a huge headache, but it wasn't.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received the product a few days ago. It is not fully installed at the exact spots we will place all the cameras but sure thing it works perfectly (see the picture). It looks like a great quality product that we can strongly recommend. The app works great too.

Must have security system

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband has been wanting a new security system for our home for some times. We are really please with this system. Installation and setup was unbelievably easy. The hardest part will be your choice of camera placement.
While at the moment we are just using the 4 cameras the system came with, we plan to purchase 4 more to expand to the full 8 this system is capable of running. The picture quality day and night is just phenomenal. This images are so crisp and clear. My husband is a huge fan of the True Detect feature as well. This system does not disappoint.
A perfect purchase for your own peace of mind, this would also make an amazing house warming gift! The gift of security is one you can't beat. A true must have in any home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this about a month ago and I really love it. I have the 4 cameras installed to see who's coming and going near my home. I am able to access the cameras from my phone at any given time. The clarity of these cameras is amazing and the night vision is very clear.

Easy to install.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The physical installation went well as did the connecting to the network. Working on how to get the system to function wasn't as easy which surprised me. The picture quality is not too bad. Would probably purchase again.
