Q: QuestionWhat does it mean by one way audio?

Asked 3 years ago by darrenfixit.

• A:Answer Hi Darren. The cameras have a microphone so that you can hear what’s happening as well as see it. 2-way audio would mean the cameras also have a speaker that you can talk through from your phone. We have other models in our NVR range that feature 2-way audio, but not on these particular cameras here. -SD, Swann Team

Q: QuestionWhat framerate do these cameras have? And what is the framerate of the recorded clips? I know they are 4K resolution, but I don't see anyting about the framerate. Thanks a bunch!

Asked 1 year ago by facepalmdaily.

• A:Answer Hi Chad. This DVR system records 4K at 7 frames per second. If you're looking for higher frame rates & your budget allows then you may wish to have a look at Swann's 4K or 6K NVR systems. The 4K NVR cameras record at 15fps and the 6K ones have the option of 6K at 15fps or 4K at 30fps. Hope that helps. -SD, Swann Team

Q: QuestionCan I replace the 2TB HDD with a 12TB HDD?

Asked 1 year ago by Ki.

• A:Answer Hi Ki. We have tested hard drive sizes up to 8TB with this DVR and they worked fine. We found that larger hard drives such as 12TB generated too much heat and could have reliability problems. We'd recommend choosing a surveillance-grade drive from a reputable brand. -SD, Swann Team

Q: QuestionEarlier response to cable type says this system uses CAT3 cable (POE?), however the picture of what is in the box shows coax/BNC connectors with separate power connectors. What is the connection between the monitor system and the cameras?

Asked 1 year ago by Remo.

• A:Answer Hello Remo. I appreciate your interest in Swann. The cameras in this kit come with 60ft of BNC cable. The cable allows you to run video and audio off of the same cable. The DVR includes an HDMI port used to connect to a TV or monitor to display your cameras for local monitoring. LV - Swann Team

Q: QuestionDo I need WiFi

Asked 2 years ago by Peter.

• A:Answer Hello Peter. The system does not require internet to operate. It can be operated locally without any internet connection you just need a monitor for the initial set up. Once set up is complete, the cameras will record locally to the DVR even if there is no internet connection. You only need an internet connection if you’d like to view the system on a smartphone app or to update its firmware. Hope this helps. LV - Swann Team

Asked 2 years ago by Estrellita.

Q: QuestionDear Swann support, Does this model's main machine support an older model SRDVR-84600T's camera? (intention is to continue using the 8x 1080HD camera but replacing the main machine) (save the hassle to re-wire new cameras) thank you for the help.

Asked 2 years ago by lozaki.

• A:Answer Hello Sam. Thank you for reaching out with your question. It is likely that your old Swann cameras used BNC cable just like the ones included in this kit. We recommend contacting our support team and providing the model numbers of the cameras you own so they can verify compatibility before you buy.
