QuestionI have an older model Swann system. Are they using the same gauge wire from the DVR to the cameras? Or will I need to run new wire?
Asked 7 years ago by Joe.
- Answer Hello Joe, You may need to upgrade the cables but I can not fully say if this would have to be done. I recommend contact Swann customer service to verify if the cables need to be changed. You would need the model number of your DVR or cameras and the model number you are interested in. 1800 627 2799 option 2
