Questionwhat android smartphones are compatible with system
Asked 10 years ago by wolf.
- Answer All should be, however you can read the reviews on Google Play. The DVR8-4500 uses the SwannView Plus App, not SwannView Link App. The reviews should be tailored to your phone. There are over 100,000 downloads, so if any phone has trouble, it should be listed.

QuestionWhat is the max. Cable distance between the camera and the dvr
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The cables that came in my camera kit were 60ft in length. It made the install of some of the cameras a little difficult, but you could always go buy longer TVI cables w/BNC connectors, if necessary.

QuestionDoes anyone know a company who will install and service the system?We purchased this system from Best Buy for a home we were building. At the time we purchased the system, the Best Buy employee at the Chesapeake, VA store told us that Best Buy would install the system when our house was ready. We purchased it before the house was finished so that the electrician could install the cables. We called Best Buy to schedule the install, and were told they no longer install these systems. We met with the store manager, who gave us a $50 gift card and said he couldn't do anything about it. We found someone in Pittsburgh, PA (a friend of a friend) who drove 8 hours to get here and he installed the system. We are now having a problem with the dvr and aren't getting any images from any of the cameras. Tech support has gone as far as they can to help us, but it still isn't working. We have never bought this system from Best Buy if we had known they wouldn't be installing and servicing the unit. We live in Suffolk, VA and need someone who can provide service for the system.

- Answer Most security companies will install them at an hourly rate. You should expect about an hour to an hour and a half per camera at whatever their standard hourly rate is
