Love it! Works perfectly!

I like this system, I wanted to buy a 4k system but didn't want to spend money and I'm glad I didn't because this one is great. It does everything as advertised and more, night vision without headlights is very clear and I have no problem using any of the apps. The long view of the camera is great too, it's a big improvement over our old security cameras, we didn't even have to run any cables, we just used our old ones. A tip if you're using a Gmail email account for this is to turn off 2-step…

  • Acceptable
Cons
  • There are nuances

Low quality! - Surveillance equipment

First bought the Annke security system. I had an issue with one of the cameras and the night vision isn't the best! I decided to return it and go with the swan! Thought it could be better (NO)! One of the cameras is stuck in night vision mode, so it's just black and white the whole time! I couldn't figure out how to get the motion indicator to work, I'm pretty sure the DVR isn't working properly! I can faintly see the system settings screen through the screen during a live video! I'll stick…

Pros
  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors appeared

This is an amazing DVR with lots of settings (too many). This blows the Night Owl UI (which is limited in settings) out of the water in my honest opinion. For example, with this dashcam you can go into the settings of each camera and adjust almost all image settings, while with the Night Owl you have to buy their upgraded system to access these general settings. The dash cam is sized to match most dash cams and requires you to set it up with the internet during initial setup. Once configured…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No performance

Good for the Price Good for Security and Surveillance

My brother has been installing home security systems, surveillance systems and other low voltage systems for 23 years. Although he says he wouldn't personally buy a cheap "kit" like this, with his professional approach he helped me install it, although I'm sure I could have done it myself. With his equipment, we were able to run cables out from under the windows, through the attic, and down through my bedroom wall. Cables exit the wall through a slotted wall plate to tidy it up. We chose the TV

Pros
  • Security and Surveillance
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

This is a fantastic DVR with lots of customization options (too many to list). This blows the Night Owl UI (which is limited in settings) out of the water in my honest opinion. For example, this dash cam allows you to go into each camera's settings and adjust almost all picture settings, while with the owl you have to buy their upgraded system to access these general settings.

I currently have a 10-11 year old Swann DVR and 8 camera system in my house and have been very happy with it for many years. I also use a Defender 4K system with 4 cameras (reviewed separately). When I saw this Swann system becoming available I took the opportunity to review it and decided to install it in my outhouse. This system includes everything you need to set up 4 included cameras and allows you to add up to 4 additional cameras later. For my testing, I added a couple of non-Swann…
