I have had a swann system running for about 8 years now. I have lost 3 of these same model cameras over the last 8 years I believe what kills them off is temperature. We get minus 35 plus sometimes out here in Edmonton Alberta Canada and I dont think electronics likes that temperature. I dont think ANYTHING likes that temperature especially humans! The cameras still function and work at these temperatures but I truly think thats what kills em off over time? 3 cameras in 8 years Not bad! I recommend this productUPDATE! I hooked up all these cameras and couldnt figure out WHY the IR night vision didnt work good at all? with these? After researching the net I found that if you aim/ direct the camera at lets say for an example your houses vinyl or brick siding then the ir leds will bounce off your house back to the camera and the rest of the picture will be no good??? To avoid this make sure you direct your camera away from your home! Bad engineering mistake on swanns behalf. I was almost ready to send these cameras back for this reason seeing only a small part of my home is in the frame and it is causing the night vision to not work properly at all ??? Terrible engineering design I am dropping 5 stars to 3

Super clear and great zoom. sees pretty clear at night. Some of the many onscreen controls are confusing. There are good and bad things on a fully wired system.There is no wifi lagtime for the main monitor at all. There is a short lagtime on my phone. You have to have a separate mouse to use for the tv which is not a big deal.The amount of wires is a problem. I havent figured out quite what I am going to do to hide them yet.Plus side is I don't have to ever change batteries but it is a bit more expensive to install.I think this has 2 way sound but I have not used it yet .Overall I still think wired is more reliable in the long run.

This is my second set of Swan which is a gift. I have my first set now for over 3 years. The camera's work great. The only problems! I have had is: the camera wire goes only one way so make sure the male and female end is correct before running the wires. These camera only mount on the side cannot roof mounted it. The camera's logo has to be upright and the camera only moves in one direction downward, so if logo is upside down camera's are not made to move downward. Over time the power plug will fail and will have to be replaced. The cameras, the wire, the box everything has lasted over 3 years now. However the box has a hard drive..... The set up menu from the box on these camera is very much the same as my camera's 3 years ago. Personally I love these camera's. You can see bad weather, But If Big Foot is outside making sound.... I thought about a camera under the bed. lol i enjoy watching the animals at night and day. The camera will not see license plates, there is a very small zoom. My TV is 1080p so great picture. I have seen the garbage man crush a Paid Can because he was lazy, I have seen people getting into cars. Someone hit the car on the road. unloading groceries someone just at the right time pulled up and jumped out of the car checking door handles and ran off with my winter gloves. As far as identifying people it can be difficult. The camera's help to give you a piece of mind and to see what happen after the fact or what is happening. For me I'm happy with my Swan Camera's. The camera's got motion detection so you can scan over 12 hour periods fast to help zoom into a time. It is easy to clip a video and copy to usb. You can put video in MP4 or AVI format but for some reason its got some kind format (codec), its MP4 but my player will not play it and VLC Media Player will play it.

Though the video is great, there is no sound recording. This is not clearly advertised by the seller, the Swann or indicated on the packaging.Only found out once it’s was professionally installed

Owned Swann before worked great, paid double the price for better quality so they say and it's worse it freezes and very blurry images .

Main reason I went with these cameras was the spot light feature. However the spotlight feature didn't work on my cameras. So I messaged Swann and started communicating through email. I started this on Jan 9th. After a ridiculous amount of back and fourth emails it's now March 5th they have still done NOTHING to resolve my problem. They just continually ask me to send them the same information I sent them in several previous emails. And then after they send me the email asking for that information and I reply with sending it to them yet again. They send out and email asking if I'm still having the problem... I tell them yes they did nothing to help me fix the problem yet and they again ask for the same information I previously sent them I send it again.... You probably understand by now the infinite loop they put me through without any help. Beyond frustrated and I'm normally really patient about fixing things but this is just insulting behavior to put through such a run around.

When I started to look on the market for a home security camera system this one was not on any of the top 10 list. A coworker told me about it and said they loved it. I looked online and started to look at the base model to save money. After doing hours on hours of research I found out that you can not buy a camera system on a budget. Once I came to that conclusion I went big. I started watching YouTube videos on different types of camera quality like 1080p-light. Its a joke don't buy that. Its less then 720p at 4fps. But I'm not going to get into all that. The 8-4k camera setup is perfect for my property. The cameras have a much wider angle the i anticipated and therefore only needed two in the actual house. The living room and kitchen. I did finally place one in the pantry to catch my teenager from eating all the junk food. Over all the install and set up are pretty easy. I do recommend printing out the 85 page full system user guide for the tips and tricks on picking the location of each camera. I have two that I need to move a few inches due to the inferred reflecting off the eves and washing out the night vision. And the 60 foot cables were plenty long enough to go from the center on my home and out to the edges. I went into the wall and up to the attic and out. One mistake I made was running the cables before attaching them to the camera first. This created two problems. The first: I could reach the cameras that were under the eves on the out side of the house from the very short attic. The second: I ran 6 of the 8 cables the wrong direction. A simple tip, connect the cables to the cameras and fish them in the attic and use a loge pole with a hook at the end to aid in retrieval. A few other problems I had had nothing going to do with product it self. Just not knowing how to do this and not having adequate help was a stresser. For the hub, its about the size of a large Blu-ray player and it is a bit loud. It won't interfere with day to day life but in a quiet room you will notice the hum. The Program: it is at first complicated. So much to see and click on and so many options for your unique situation. Again, I can't stress enough to read the full user manual before you start anything. And a few more things to say before I'm done. The App is good. I wish that I could do a few more system adjustments with the app but for the most part I like it. I can see the live feed just fine and see recordings when ever I need to. The app only plays back recordings in a lower video quality. And the pest part for me is being able to see all 8 cameras at once on 60in TV in 4k quality. Its almost better then actually going outside to see my yard. The photos are screen shots from the app on my phone. I am very pleased with this perches and definitely will recommend it.
