Q: QuestionDoes it have a app for Apple and Samsung Android +is it hard wired

Asked 3 years ago by Tony.

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

• A:Answer Yes, there is a free app for both Apple and Android. It is very easy to installed. You are given very long cables with all the connectors on them. The hard part will be the location where you mount the cameras (is a ladder needed, mounting into wood or brick) and running the cables through your attic.
