This question was asked about the related product: Swann - Professional 8-Channel, 4-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wired 1080p 1TB DVR Home Security Camera System - White
- Answer Swann security systems include two power packs for US outlets (120 VAC). The plugs must be standard two-prong. However, use a battery backup system (UPS) to protect and power everything. (The APC brand works great.)

QuestionI don't have room for this on my desk, is it fine to set it sideways like a modem so that it's tall but not wide? The sides are flat and it does stand up well, so it seems like this in an intended use, but I wanted to make sure.

- Answer This system will use your drop box for cloud service. It has 1 T of memory. I have not had any issues with storage space. Since it only records when motion is detected you should have plenty of space.

QuestionAs far as cloud storage...can you explain all details? Is cloud storage free? If so for how long? Capacity of cloud storage? A rolling week or ??
Asked 2 years ago by Frank.
- Answer Hello Frank, Thank you for your question on our Swann - Enforcer 1080p, 8-Channel camera system. The 1TB HDD included in this kit can store months of video before overwriting older files. You can also back up video to your personal Dropbox account in the cloud &/or transfer videos to a USB memory stick. The amount of recording you can store depends on your personal dropbox.

QuestionWhat must I do or buy to get audio for this device. I highlighted all the buttons in the system that say audio and I just get clicks and pops. All volumes are at 75% even main and sub channels? So I don’t know if I’m stuck with out ears!?!? v/r joel
Asked 2 years ago by Audio.
This question was asked about the related product: Swann - Professional 8-Channel, 4-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wired 1080p 1TB DVR Home Security Camera System - White
- Answer Dear Customer. The kit you have purchased includes the PRO-1080SQ camera model, but these particular cameras do not have any audio capability. We have recently launched a newer camera model called the PRO-1080MQB which features a microphone for 1-way audio. This is the first camera model to feature audio on a DVR system, prior to this it was not possible on a DVR due to technology limits. As your existing kit has 8 channels but only 4 cameras, you could add up to 4 more of the PRO-1080MQB if you wished to. -SD, Swann Product Management

QuestionWill my older T850 cameras work with this system?
Asked 2 years ago by Doc48180.
This question was asked about the related product: Swann - Professional 8-Channel, 4-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wired 1080p 1TB DVR Home Security Camera System - White
- Answer Hi Doc48180. Whilst there is a chance your older PRO-T850 camera may still connect to this newer DVR model, we cannot guarantee it unfortunately as the technology in our industry evolves quickly and the T850 camera is around 7 years old and has not been tested with this latest DVR. We would recommend purchasing one of our more recent camera models as their resolution & features such as PIR sensors are superior to the much older T850 & will deliver you a better experience. We often have great deals on refurbished cameras on our website if you are interested. -SD, Swann team

QuestionDo these cameras work with just a 110v connection? Or more cabling required?
Asked 2 years ago by Bancos.
This question was asked about the related product: Swann - Professional 8-Channel, 4-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wired 1080p 1TB DVR Home Security Camera System - White
- Answer Hi Bancos. This is a wired system & there will be one video/power cable per camera that needs to run between each camera and the back of the DVR unit. The cable splits into two on the end; the BNC video connector will go into the back of the DVR box, whilst the other end plugs into a power adaptor which needs to go into a power socket. Four cameras can get their power from one power adaptor via the splitter we include. The DVR box will also have its own power adaptor, meaning that you will need two spare sockets in total somewhere near the DVR box. -SD, Swann Product Management.
