    Item was purchased to replace old swann system that was ok, but never impressed. Thad camera work very well spot light can be turned on remotely which was a plus. Where this item really excels is in the dvr playback is smooth and defined.

    I'll start by saying that I tried other brands before finally settling on Swann. Lorex and Nightowl were the two that I tried first. I chose Swann because of the DVR software and the mobile app. While not perfect, it was the best of the three. If you're looking for a budget solution for security cameras, Swann is the way to go.
