A:AnswerHi Dave. Yes. You just give the NVR box an internet connection by connecting it to your router, then you can view the cameras from anywhere in the world on your phone using the Swann Security app. -SD, Swann Team
A:AnswerHello Brian. Thank you for your question. Each camera in this kit includes a 60ft(18m) Power over Ethernet Cable. However, you can extend this to a longer length if you wish to. Swann sells extension cables in 100ft(30m) & 200ft(60m) lengths under the codes SWNHD-30MCAT5E and SWNHD-60MCAT5E.

A:AnswerHi there. No, Swann does not provide routers. You should use the Wi-Fi router provided by your internet service provider (ISP).
As long as your current Wi-Fi router is working properly and provides a stable connection, you should be good to go. You won’t need a separate router from Swann.
A:AnswerHello Brad.Yes, the Swann system SWNVK-890004 has a continuous recording function. This system allows for 24/7 recording, capturing every moment. You can also choose to record based on heat and motion-triggered events only, but continuous recording is a standard feature. Hope this helps. LV - Swann Team
A:AnswerHi Dino, thanks for reaching out! While we don’t offer installation services ourselves, we recommend contacting your local Best Buy store. They often provide installation options and may be able to help with your specific needs. Let us know if you need anything else by emailing us at [email protected]. LV - Swann Team
A:AnswerHi Jim. Yes, it certainly can. You will need an internet connection if you wish to view remotely on your phone, but if this isn’t important to you then you can use it as a local closed system without the need for an internet connection. You would just view it on a monitor that you’d connect to the NVR box. A mouse and HDMI cable are included to help with local viewing. -SD, Swann Team

A:AnswerHello there. Any PC monitor or TV screen will be OK to connect this system. The TV or monitor just needs to have an HDMI or VGA input. LV - Swann Team
A:AnswerHi DoverDon. The cameras have infrared LEDs for black & white night vision up to 130ft away. These LEDs will automatically turn on whenever the environment is dark enough to require them. At all other times the video will be in colour. -SD, Swann team
A:AnswerHello crsdpm. Thank you for your question. This camera has color daytime vision and switches to black & white at night. See in the dark up to 130ft (40m) with the powerful infrared night vision which automatically kicks in as the night falls. If you are looking for cameras with color night vision, please visit our website at www.swann.com and search for our Enforcer series. For your convenience, some of Swann's Enforcer series are also sold through BestBuy.com. Hope this helps. LV - Swann Team
A:AnswerHi Perry. You can only connect wired NVR cameras to this NVR, however we sell a wide variety of wireless cameras as well which operate on the same Swann Security app. This means you can mix and match different cameras and the NVR and see a live view from all products from the same app screen & under the same app account. The NVR-8580 in this kit is capable of supporting up to 12MP (6K) cameras, Swann sell bullet and dome options in this resolution under codes NHD-1200BE, NHD-1200DE. The night vision performance on all NVR cameras is excellent, but if you're looking for color night vision then you are best to look for cameras that include white spotlights, of which we have many. -SD, Swann Team
A:AnswerHi Nancy. Yes, you can turn off the motion detection and then set the cameras to record for certain days and times instead using the Manual recording Scheduling feature within the NVR menu. - SD, Swann Team
A:AnswerHi Glenn. The included cables do not have a Cat rating as such, however if you are looking to purchase your own cables separately then Cat-5 or higher will have more than enough speed for these cameras to work with.
