Review on 📷 Swann 8 Channel 4 Camera Security System, Wired Surveillance 1080p Full HD DVR 1TB HDD, Indoor/Outdoor, Heat & Motion Detection + Night Vision, Google Assistant + Alexa Compatible, SWDVK-845804V by Muharik Khalifa

The security system is a very good system. The quality of the camera is very good, of course if you want the best picture you have to invest in the 4K version, but for personal use this is more than enough. I recommend planning your setup ahead of time as being a wired system it can be a bit difficult to provide a clean route from the camera to the DVR. Now for the bad, why am I giving 3 stars. The UI to connect to the camera system through the application is almost impossible to get working. I've tried everything the Swann website recommends and it still doesn't work. For some reason Swann has about 15 different apps, one for each of their different products, and if you're like me and what's listed doesn't work with the product you bought, try them all just for the sake of it To see, some are trying to connect or even plug in the DVR over the network but cannot establish the connection. This part does not provide instructions for a workaround, proper router setup, or proper app connection. You also can't manually connect the dashcam to your dropbox on the device, you have to do it through the app, which means if you're having trouble like me, you won't be able to back up the footage on your device. All of these could be taken as problems with my own connection, but after researching I see that this is a common problem with Swann apps, they have a low rating and generally don't update regularly or even work properly. This device can send me emails showing it's connected to the internet, but I can't connect. If remote monitoring is an important security factor for your home, I recommend trying a different brand or product.
