“I own a old Swann system I believe the cameras are 720p and half my cameras are out. If I buy this system which is 1080p can I use my old wiring that's installed and still get 1080p clarity or will my old Swann wiring not be able to carry 1080p?”

if your old wiring is BNC and RCA terminations you MIGHT be able to use it. Keep in mind the cables themselves are not the highest quality in the world. I would verify that it is your cameras that are bad before considering a new system (it may be the cables instead). Just move a working camera to the location of one that does not work and see if it works in place of the old one (repeat for each camera that does not work). If it does work, then your cables are likely fine. But there are still a lot of other factors to consider before making the change. Swann only seems to honor their warranty if you use the cables that come with the new system ( I just went through that with them). I have read other reviews that claim it is possible.
