Works great! Power cable too short.

Works as expected. Solved the problem as intended. The power cable should be about a foot or two longer.

Edges don't stay down & new bubbles form days l8tr

I applied this screen protector properly, but after a couple days, the edges started to come up and big new bubbles formed several days out of nowhere. Unless I can figure out how to successfully reapply this, I'll have to send in for a warranty replacement because the edges on this one are all dried out. I can't recommend this at this time.

Very useful. Catches solicitors & delivery people!

It took hours of adjusting settings to get the motion detection sensitivity correct for my doorbell location, but once it was tuned properly, it worked fine. The doorbell ring part works flawlessly. The motion detection option is a bit tricky. Customer service was hit or miss. If you get someone who isn't helpful, try again. The second time the guy knew exactly what to do. The iPhone app is a little quirky in that the customer service rep had to show me a hidden feature to enable minimum sensitivity distance for motion detection--you have to select at least one of the five zones for it to work. I hope they'll provide an update that makes that simple. Now it works great. What's missing is the ability to view video from the camera on demand instead of only when the doorbell button is pushed or when motion is detected. That's not an advertised feature, but it would be a nice software update to be added to the product.

Great system. High quality.

The system performs as advertised and provides all the features I needed and expected. The SwannView app is good, but could use a better, more intuitive user interface. The same goes for the DVR user interface. Once you spend an hour or so getting familiar with the system, it's easy to use.
Installation is easy if you are the handy type. Otherwise, be prepared to hire an installer. The Swann installation partners are seriously overpriced, wanting $200 per camera plus materials. All I needed was someone with a 30 ft. ladder to install two of my four cameras, so I called my painter. He did it for $100.

remote monitoring

I want to monitor my daughter in her home with one camera and the outside with 4 cameras. I want to set it up where I can check on her home from my computer. She is disabled and lives by herself.
Her home would need to have a wired (Ethernet) internet connection available to connect the Swann DVR to the Internet, and you would need the SwannView app on your smartphone if you want to be able check on her while out and about. If you need five cameras, get a four camera package and buy an extra camera of the same type.
Installation is not trivial for this or any wired security system, so be aware of that before you buy one.
