Questions & Answers
So there's need hard line to Internet or can you use Wi-Fi signal?
Answered by SwannHi Russell. If you wish to view the system via the Swann Security app on your smartphone, then the DVR box will need an internet connection. Most people simply connect a network cable between the DVR and their router, but Swann also sell a Wi-Fi antenna as a separate accessory (model code: SWACC-USBWIFI) if you wish to go wireless instead. If you don't need/want to view the system on your phone remotely then you can also operate it without any internet connection. In this case you would view your system, recordings etc through a monitor you would connect to the DVR box via HDMI cable. -SD, Swann Team.
IS this PoE compatible?
Answered by SwannHi Ame. No, this is a DVR system so the cameras connect to the back of the via DVR analog coax cables. For a PoE (Power Over Ethernet) system you would be looking for an NVR whereby the cameras all connect back to the NVR box using network cables. -SD, Swann team
Can you use this system without internet and how much memory does the system have on the DVR?
Answered by SwannHello. Yes, the system can be operated locally without any internet connection you just need a monitor for the initial set up. Once set up is complete, the cameras will record locally to the DVR even if there is no internet connection. You only need an internet connection if you’d like to view the system on a smartphone app or to update its firmware. This system comes with a 64GB MicroSD Card however you can purchase an HDD separately and install it if you wish to have a larger memory on your system. Your DVR supports recording to either a 3.5” SATA or a 2.5” SATA hard drive. The largest hard drive you can connect is 6TB (terabyte). We recommend that you purchase a drive that is surveillance rated, such as the Western Digital Purple™ and Seagate Skyhawk™ range of drives. I hope this helps. LV - Swann Team
Are they hard to install for someone who isn't real tech savy?
Answered by SwannHello Sissy. Thank you for reaching out with your question, Swann proudly delivers DIY Home Security with no monthly fees, no contracts, no hidden monthly fees, and no-nonsense. Whilst you don't need to be hugely technical to setup this wired system, there are cables which you will need to run between the back of the DVR and each camera so it will be helpful if you have access to a drill and ladder and are comfortable running cables around your house or roof space. If this sounds too difficult you may wish to consider hiring an expert to install the cables for you. Swann also offer battery powered camera systems which are much simpler to install but will require charging from time to time. If you ever need assistance with your product please know we're here to help. Please visit our support page or contact us over the phone. https://support.swann.com/s/ LV - Swann Team
LG: Can I see and change diferent views of each camera on my iPhone with an app?
Answered by SwannHi Tuco. The Swann Security app for your phone will show a live feed from all 4 cameras at the same time. You can then tap on an individual camera to enlarge the size, and then swipe between each camera in the larger view. These particular cameras do not have any motors that allow you to Pan/Tilt them from your phone, they will just face the same direction that you install them at. - SD, Swann Team
