Terrible System
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The absolute worse security system on the market! Terrible night vision and only last 2 years! This is my second one and shame on me to even give them a 2nd try as the 2nd one lasted about as long as the first!

Posted .Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your most recent experience with our Swann - 4-Channel, 4-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wired 4K UHD 1TB DVR Surveillance System. This recorder will display on almost any monitor using a VGA/HMDI cable. In order to get your system set up at first, you will require connection to a monitor. This will allow you full access to all settings. Due to security reasons, not all settings can be configured remotely. Our technical support team will help troubleshoot as much as needed and can be reached 24/7.

Posted .Hello JaneeDohh,
Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your most recent experience with our Swann - 4-Channel, 4-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wired 4K UHD 1TB DVR Surveillance System. The cameras included in this kit do not have audio features. The camera has 3 different settings for streaming quality; low, medium, and high. If you are having problems streaming you can lower the settings and test to see if it improves. Note that lowering the stream settings does not affect the quality of the recordings. If you have very fast upload speeds you can set your camera to high, but if your upload speed is not that good then we recommend you use medium or low for the streaming setting. If you have not already, contact our support team and see how we can further assist.

Posted .Hello Bertfam,
Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your most recent experience with our Swann - 16-Channel, 8-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wired 2160p 2TB DVR Surveillance System. The fan on the recorder will keep all the electrical components cool. The noise produced by the fan should be equivalent to the sound of a desktop computer.

28 months - dead
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace an earlier version of Swann security cameras(dvr) which failed in less than 3 years For the most part no complaints about the ease of use or app access...easy enough. I guess my next (and needed) security camera system will not be Swann.
