Title: Good For The Price
Review: For the record, my brother has been installing home security systems, surveillance systems and other low voltage systems for 23 years. While he says he personally wouldn't have bought an inexpensive "kit" such as this, he did help me install it with his professional touch, though I'm certain I could have accomplished it myself. With his equipment, we were able to feed the cables from under the eves outside, through the attic and down through the wall of my bedroom. The cables exit the wall through a slotted wall plate to tidy up the bundle to keep it all neat.We decided to use the bedroom TV because if I ever heard anything unusual outside, I can easily switch the input channel on the TV to see the video feeds without having to get out of bed or turn on any interior lights.He also complimented me on buying a hard wired system vs a wireless due to the wired system being more reliable, safe (can't hack a wired system) and less maintenance.A professional grade system of comparable size through his supplier at his cost would have run $600-$1200. I wasn't willing to fork out that much. The cameras in this Swann kit are made by Toshiba...which makes pretty decent electronics.My home is a 1660 sq ft single story on a slab. 60ft of cable didn't sound like it was going to be enough, but it easily was. The programming part of the setup is a little confusing...which is why I could only give 4 stars. Visiting the product manufacturer's website answered a few questions, but I had to dig to find those answers.The video quality exceeded my expectations...even the night vision is very good and clear enough to recognize a face some 40ft away. My brother (the professional) gave this system a thumbs up for what I paid, though he said he prefers a "Power over Ethernet" type hardwired camera system as that's what all the high end commerical grade systems are. This is still a good system.At the end of the day, I am pleased with this Swann Security Camera system. The big question is how long will the components last without any issues or failures?

Title: Love it! Works Great!
Review: I love this system, was going to buy a 4k system, but I didn’t want to spend the money and I’m glad I didn’t because this one is amazing. It does everything as advertised and more, night vision without the spotlights on is so clear and I have no trouble using either of the apps. The wide view of the camera is also great, it’s a big upgrade from our old security cameras, we didn’t even have to run wires we just used our old ones. One piece of advice if your using a gmail email account for this is to disable 2 step verification and allow untrusted applications because it will block it and your test email will fail! It also works with Dropbox, one thing I can’t figure out is how to get it to work with my google home mini.

Title: Does a Great Job
Review: I have had this up and running for a few years. The only issue I have, is the "SWANN" logo etched on all 4 corners of all 4 screens—blocking the view.

Title: WORST SYSTEM EVER- DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
Review: THEIR SUPPORT PEOPLE ARE WORTHLESS JUST TO START!I've had multiple issues since I bought these cameras. Suppose to be waterproof but mine hasn't been. Corrosion inside the connections so they can't be waterproof. Playbacks do not work half the time. Picture quality is way less than expected. Their system changes the settings all the time for no reason and because of this, my playbacks stopped working and I had a theif in my yard but missed it since my playbacks quit working on their own!To many issues and would not buy again. Still under the 1st year warranty and they put you through hell to get a replacement camera and they don't replace your DVR with a new one, they repair yours and customer has to pay the shipping!! And this is under warranty! I'm very disappointed in this set and their support.Will never purchase from Swann again.

Title: Great quality for a great price
Review: I’ve really enjoyed this product after a few months. I will say the nighttime view is amazing I have had to mess with it a lot as far as it picking up the correct kind of movements...due to trees swaying back and forth in a sunny day or high wind blowing things up into the camera view. The app is a bit wonky and still a bit unsure on if it actually captures audio as the dvr has audio in and out but I don’t think I’ve looked enough into that portion yet. Either way, for what was paid it sure gives the competition of higher priced systems a run for their money as I’d rather have a few false reports then no notification at all.

Title: Very good.
Review: Great system. Even greater customer service. I like the APP. Have had them installed for about 4 months now. Advice: get more channels than you think you need. You will probably find an angle you were not thinking of and it's good to have the option of adding cameras. Also: the cameras work out to be something like $25 each if you buy them in the kit, but $50 if you buy separately. I had to buy 2 more for my 8 channel system that came with four cameras. I Wish I would have bought the 8 channel package with 8 cameras because I ended up buying two anyway which cost me $100, and I would have had two spare cameras as well.

Review: This camera system is similar to my old one but the biggest unknown difference was my OLD ONE RECORDED THE BACK UP FOR 3 MONTHS LONG! Whereas this new one records backups for only about 12 days long! Had I known this fact I would not have purchased it! Also after about 6 months the DVR Player BROKE! And STOPPED RECORDING anything: it died instantly! So I did return it to Swann in shock at my own expense! However, They did replace it with a new one which works now. My old one lasted 10 years without any problems or glitches hence another Swann purchase. They don’t make new products like they used to? Oh, we’ll? What can we do? Thx
