QuestionQuestions, are these cameras able to move on their own, such as when moving them from my phone or can they can move from left to right in a sorta loop motion, and if so, what are the degrees to how far they can move/see?
Asked 2 years ago by Norma.
- Answer Hi Norma. No, the cameras do not have motors that would allow you to move them from your phone, for that you would need specialized PT (Pan Tilt) cameras which Swann do not sell for DVR systems. The PRO-1080SQ cameras in this kit have a wide 90 degree field of view and they will just stay facing the direction that you installed them to face. -SD, Swann Team

QuestionHow does this come with 8 channels and 8 cameras and only have 1TB and support up to 4TB. How many days is that of full use of the 8 channels and cameras?
Asked 2 years ago by DaveV.
This question was asked about the related product: Swann - Home 8-Channel, 8-Dome Camera, Indoor/Outdoor Wired 1080p 1TB DVR Security Camera System - White
- Answer Hi Dave. The support of up to 4TB means that the DVR is capable of working with hard drives up to 4TB capacity in the event that you wished to swap the included 1TB hard drive for something larger yourself. 1TB is still a very large size though and would give you a few week’s worth of recordings if you recorded 24/7 from all cameras. We would however recommend using motion-based recording instead, whereby the 1TB will take many months (6-12mths) to fill up. -SD, Swann Team

QuestionIt is sold as a PoE camera system but it doesnt look like it is. There is no option to plug-in my pre-wired ethernet cable into this camera. It has a audio and video input option. How is this a power over ‘ethernet’ in that case?

QuestionDescription says it is a PoE (Power Over Ethernet) camera system but it is not. Camera’s dont have a CAT port to plug in my pre-wired exterior camera slots. It has options for plugging-in an audio and video cable. I dont understand how is this PoE?
Asked 2 years ago by Denton.
- Answer Hi VJ. This system is a DVR and the cables that run between the recorder and the cameras are analog coax cables with BNC connectors. Swann also sell more premium NVR systems which use PoE and ethernet cables rather than coax ones. We apologize for the error on this BestBuy page where it states PoE, this is incorrect and we will get this corrected ASAP. Sorry for any confusion. -SD, Swann Team

Questionsay if the power goes out would the cameras still be recording and would it send a notification to your phone on the app if the cameras went out?
Asked 2 years ago by jason.
- Answer Use a battery backup system (UPS) to power and protect the security system. It keeps everything running 24/7 or until the UPS battery runs out. The APC 1500 VA unit, for example, can run for 170 minutes. The load current determines run time. Security systems often have an interesting failure mode. If a camera fails, the DVR might continue showing the last image. As a result, you may never see a troublemaker if he or she destroys a camera. Test this by watching all cameras working and then disconnect power to one. See if a black screen or last image gets recorded.
