Customers are saying

Customers value the superior camera quality and ease of use of the 8-Channel, 8-Camera Indoor/Outdoor DVR Surveillance System. Many also appreciate the system's affordability and effective night vision capabilities. However, some customers have noted that the DVR can be quite loud. Overall, the positive feedback on image clarity and user-friendliness outweighs the negative comments regarding the DVR's noise level.

    Very easy to install. Self explanatory. The quality when looking on the live feed and when you play back is so good. Ive only had the camera's for a few months so not sure how long they actually last, but so far not one single problem.

    After researching several different brands of cameras, chose the Swann system b/c it seemed to be the most user friendly. Install was about what I expected.; pulling cables were the most difficult, setting up the dvr took a little time to work thru. Has been set up and working for about six weeks and it does what it is supposed to do. Picture quality is better than average, even at night when images go black and white. Do wish it had an on /off button when you want to shut it down instead of unplugging power cord from dvr. All in all, I'm pleased .

    Easy to manage system, the cables are a bit of a pain to install if you need to go through walls, the dvr broke down after a year but with the warranty I got a new one no charge. Good overall camera system

    This is my second swan camera system so I was familiar with their products. This system was bigger than I really needed but its nice to have replacement cameras on hand if one of them brake. These systems are easy to set up. They come with all the wires screws and adapters you will need to install everything. Just a heads up they do not come with a monitor you need to supply that your self. When this system breaks in a few years I will probably buy this product again.

    Good quality camera at an affordable price. Great night vision and it's pretty clear when you zoom in. I love that I can use my phone to see each camera when I'm not at my shop or house.

    We bought this after a recent theft from our yard. The system overall is pretty easy to set up. However I do wish we would have just had the geek squad do it! There are a few features we don't use cause we can't figure out how to get them to work like the email notifications and to only record when there is movement. Overall we love the system. Clear video and it just records over old video so no need to have to go in and delete anything.

    Great camera for a small home

    It's a great security system for a small home. It's got 8 cameras and also shows in colors when it's daylight with enough lighting. Black and white in night vision. Only reason why I give it a 4 star rating is because it doesn't come with a microphone in the cameras so it captures no audio although it has audio lines.
