Installation was straight forward. The hardest part is running the wires. The cameras and nvr work fine, but the software leaves a lot to be desired. Another desire would be to have documentation that describes all the features and how to use them. You won't even find more info at the Swann website. Both the Win software and the Android app need to be re-thought and designed by someone who actually uses the system.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I had a Lorex wireless system which worked great...but, it wiped out my wifi. I decided to go wired. Sure, it was a pain routing the cables through the attic and wall. It was worth it. So user friendly and the video quality is the best! I'm still playing around with the sensitivity for motion detection. The night vision is fabulous. The only minor complaint is the LED lights on the DVR are a little bright.

I bought these cameras for home use and they are perfect for the job at hand. The day time imaging is amazing but the night vision does not appear to be as good as the 82' Swann claims. My one camera faces the back woods on my property and it doesn't detect the trees that are within 20 feet. Other than this I believe they are an amazing product for the money whether you use them for home or business.
I do want to mention that they are very simple to hook up and get operational. I had them professionally installed since running wire is not my specialty. Just consider that when buying these particular cameras.

The cameras were very easy to install. Running just a cat5e cable to each camera made install and setup a breeze. Picture quality is excellent during day. Night vision is not noticeably different from 900tvl cameras. Add on cameras and camera choices are limited, ie. dome cameras, zoom cameras and remote cameras. Recording quality is excellent. I would recommend this system if you are not planning on adding any special types of cameras.

The security system with the PoE is very easy to set up and get going. The looks of the set up screens seem a little out-dated but the functionality is still there. With wind chills down to -11 cameras still worked with out a problem. So everything works well.

I was able to quickly install the system with minimal reading. Took a little time to program which is understandable. The camera performance and features met or exceeded my expectations. The only downside was that there wasn't an additional wireless camera solution offered by Swann that I could add to this system. I did contact technical support and talked with several techs about it, and they could not offer a solution. As advertised the system is very good.

this setup works great so far. The picture is very clear and it's nice that you can view them from anywhere via the app. It does take awhile for the picture to come up on the app sometimes but over all I'm happy with this purchase.

Easy to install, no monthly recurring charges. It works exactly as advertised. I'm well pleased with it and Swann's customer support.
Easy to call if you've got a question and they're available extended hours, not just 8 - 5.

I love my new camera system. I bought this system after my car was vandalized in front of my home and I don't have any regrets. Worth every penny and shows in HD. Very easy to install, great buy.

The physical set-up is the hardest part-a second pair of hands will speed up the process. The actual software set up went smooth and is easy to use the many capabilities of the system

Hooked up original 4, then bought 2 more cameras and still have room to get 2 more.
System allows for cameras to be anywhere on the network within the same subnet. as long as they're powered, the NVR will find them and save their video up to 8 feeds. You CAN have more than 8, but it'll only save the 8 currently associated with your system.
Motion setup a breeze but recommend using monitor and mouse directly with device (mouse is included)
alarm reporting a breeze and can work easily with gmail, etc
remote viewing setup a breeze and gives great peace of mind for those I love to be able to see what's going on at home

Probably the best investment made. Always hear how packaged kits aren't great. This one isn't great but it sure is good. 720p resolution is much better than the other models. Easy to install and configure.

It was pretty much a easy install, was easy to to set up pretty much a plug and play. I had only one glitch, one of the mounting screws it seemed that it wasn't long enough & couldn't get it started to thread so I took some pliers to see if I could get it together & broke the mount, muscle head mentality if it don't fit force it, wrong!!! When all else fails break out the tape & presto. Will have to buy another camera later down the road. Other than that it's a marvelous system I love it!!!!
