The SwannForce™ has crime-fighting features other security systems dream about. Heat and motion-based activity triggers red and blue flashing lights, bright spotlights and loud sirens to intimidate intruders and prevent crime from happening. Activity can trigger push notifications to let you know what’s happening and recording to ensure you have video evidence when you need it. Imagine being able to see faces, tattoos, and license plates with state-of-the-art 4K Ultra HD video and powerful digital zoom to actively watch over entrances, yards, driveways, parking lots, shop floors, storerooms, and customer service areas. With the Swann Security app, you can even watch live or playback video on your smartphone from anywhere in the world. In fact, you can view any of the cameras on your smart TV, and speak to see hands-free via Hey Google or via Alexa devices. Know what’s happening at any hour with powerful infrared night vision and the ability to see color video at night. Swann’s True Detect™ heat and motion detection senses people and cars for more reliable monitoring and fewer false alarms. Mount the cameras inside or outdoors as their weatherproof design is built to withstand rain, snow and heat, all year round. With the SwannForce™ System you’ll get free local recording for up to 180 days+ onto the massive 2TB hard drive with no subscription fees ever and the option to backup video to your Dropbox account. That’s the SwannForce DVR Security System – the ultimate crime fighting solution from Swann.

A: Hello Alejandro, Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. Due to the nature of these updates, we do not have a confirmed projection on each launch. Our development team is working day and night to address the potential bugs within the software. Recently the external development team of the SAFE by Swann app ceased trading due to the most recent pandemic, putting the continued operation of many Swann devices at risk. Our team has been working diligently to re-engineer those devices, & transition our customers to the new Swann Security app. We appreciate your understanding & patience at this time, & thank you for your support. Please let us know how we may further assist you, Thank you. JV Swann Customer Support
Q: can one disable motion-activated police-style red and blue flashing lights, spotlights and siren.
A: This system has a lot of customization options in the on-screen programming. You can change the behavior of each light separately. Mine did not do any flashing etc. right out of the box and I didn’t turn those features on, just not interested in that currently. So far it is a fairly impressive system, pro-like.
A: Hello intrepid777, Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. The longest recommended run is 300 feet. This camera can not connect to the recorder wirelessly. The DVR can record based on motion or continuously as needed per channel. Please let us know how we may further assist you, Thank you. JV Swann Customer Support

Q: Do these record audio? Info for previous questions show yes and no. Which answer is correct?
A: Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. No, the cameras included in this kit do not have audio features. Please let us know how we may further assist you, Thank you. JV Swann Customer Support
A: Hi BasketballTony, You will need a monitor/TV just for initial setup (HDMI or VGA) but you don't really need it connected to a screen after that unless you are making some advanced settings changes or unless you want to monitor the cameras without the app. You can have anywhere as few as 1 camera or as many as 8, so 2 works just fine. You can access this system on your cell phone through the Swann Security app, but you will need to connect the DVR to the internet via ethernet cable, so keep that in mind. In the app, you will be able to view live video, turn camera lights on/off, turn siren on/off, take videos, and record if you'd like.
Q: can a monitor with a DVI connector be hooked up to this system?
A: Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. No, this can only be connected to a monitor using an HDMI or VGA cable. Please let us know how we may further assist you, Thank you. JV Swann Customer Support
