work Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras work VERY well and were easy for me too install, but that is because I was replacing our old ones and already had ran the BNC wires during construction of our house.

Know what you're getting, and you should be fine
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To be clear, I accidentally got the 8 camera model. This model comes with 8 cameras that record at 1080P. The camera's also have night vision, which works really well. Each camera has the ability activate a bright yellow light, or a flashing blue/red light. I was able to activate the yellow light remotely from the app on my phone, but couldn't find how to activate the "enforcer" light (flashing blue/red). Checking the manual via the app didn't help as much as I would have liked. It would often mention options that didn't show on my app. While certain features would list that it was for certain models, other features, like enabling the enforcer light, were mentioned as if it were an option for all models. Set up...it could definitely be a lot easier. The system comes with everything you need, but everything is wired. The cameras are all wired and require extended wiring to use from distance. The DVR required wired connection to your internet. Even the mouse for the system is wired. This requires a bit more time setting things up, which, is fine, security is worth it...but know what you're getting into. Swann advertises a professional installing service in the box. The DVR works great, but the system can be annoying. Operating with only a mouse can be annoying. This means the DVR has to be set up in a place where I can use a mouse. The mouse it comes with is wired (as mentioned above) so connecting the DVR to say, my living room TV and accessing things from the couch...or connecting it to my bedroom TV and being able to see what's going on everywhere from my bed...not an option with the included hardware. Would a wireless mouse work? I've yet to try as my wireless mice are all bluetooth. Maybe a dongle based mouse? Major key...hit "apply" after any change. The system comes set up with menu timeout at "1minute" meaning after 1 minute of inactivity you have to enter your password again (with a mouse). I changed that to "off" multiple times, but missed the "apply" button...so I kept entering my password. As a newcomer to home security systems, the Swann Enforcer system dispelled some of my nervousness around home security systems (1080P is fine) but at the same time confirmed some of my other worries (setup can be a hassle and not for your average joe). As a base level security system, it gets the jobs done, cameras with solid video quality that can be viewed remotely via an app. Ease of use however is an opportunity for improvement with this system.

Posted .Hello Burce,
Thank you for taking the time to write a detailed review and giving us your feedback. We are glad to hear you are enjoying some of the features our system has to offer. While wireless cameras are convenient and easier to set up wired systems provide a more secure and reliable connection since the signal does not rely on wi-fi. Installing a wired system is more time-consuming depending on the size of the home of the business where it is being installed but a more reliable connection may be worth the installation time. The wired mouse for this level system is industry standard. We hope that you continue to enjoy your system. Please know we are here to help should you require further assistance in the future. Thank you, LV- Swann Team

Get Some Peace of Mind This System
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Swann Enforcer 8-channel security camera system with DVR is a great investment for anyone looking to increase the security of their home or business. With its advanced features and reliable performance, this system provides excellent surveillance coverage and peace of mind. Setting up the system is a breeze, thanks to the clear and concise instructions provided in the manual. The cameras are easy to mount and adjust, and the DVR is simple to connect to your network and configure. Once set up, the system provides clear and sharp video footage of your property, even in low light conditions. One of the standout features of this system is the Enforcer™ technology, which combines motion detection with a bright warning light and loud siren to deter intruders. This not only alerts you to potential threats but also serves as a strong deterrent, potentially preventing a break-in before it occurs. The 8-channel DVR allows for up to 8 cameras to be connected, providing comprehensive coverage of your property. The system also includes a 1TB hard drive for ample storage of recorded footage. The DVR can be accessed remotely via the Swann Security app, allowing you to view live or recorded footage from anywhere at any time. Overall, the Swann Enforcer 8-channel security camera system with DVR is an excellent choice for those looking for a comprehensive and reliable surveillance system. The Enforcer™ technology provides an added layer of security, while the easy setup and remote access make it convenient to use. I highly recommend this system for anyone looking to increase the security of their home or business.

Secure Your Home
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Swann Enforcer has crime-fighting features other security systems dream about. True Detect senses heat and motion to trigger red and blue police-style flashing lights and bright spotlights to intimidate intruders and prevent crime. Activity also triggers reliable push notifications, with fewer false alarms, and free local and cloud recording, with no ongoing fees ever! The cameras make it possible to see faces and license plates with 1080p Full HD video and powerful digital zoom to watch over entrances, yards, driveways, parking lots, storerooms, and more. You will know what’s happening at any hour, as the cameras also display a full spectrum color night vision. The DVR has eight channels so you can expand your system with two more cameras to increase coverage around your property or business. With the Swann Security app, you can even watch live or playback video on your smartphone from anywhere in the world. The setup was fairly simple. The toughest part is running the wire and concealing them so they are not eye sores. Other then that the setup is straight forward.

A Great Deal for Home and Small Business Security
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Swann - Enforcer Dvr8-4690rm is truly a remarkable Business / Home security System. With 8 Cameras all with full HD advanced color recording it will blow you away in capabilities & features, some you would never think you could use but will find a godsend. I’ve installed the system and tested its features and only fully explored its value for a few days thus far - but all results were remarkable. I could not cover all the features in a thousand words, and how you could cross set the cameras to get exceptional information about your targets. First part was installation; I was very intimidated by the wired setup and possible mischief of getting all the pieces to work. In the past all I found with “Spy” cam systems was electrical shortcomings, installation issues, failures, under performance and a chore for any Installer. With this system being wired installation will complicate things on the PHYSICAL end, but certainly NOT on the software and support end. I was so intimidated at first that I even asked CS will I be wasting my time with the setup I have a very odd home setup with serious limitations, but once I leaped into the project it was 1 Hr to start seeing fireworks and easier than I ever imagined. I was up and running, Ethernet connected, Cloud Ready, with Motion sensors, Audio, AI for object definitions, zone in zone configurations and 8 Cameras with color HD , at least a dozen more features I haven’t yet had the time to fully explore and a 1 TB DVR to record it all. The System works with IOS and Android the network remotely and has reasonable quality that you can set in Camera thru the DVR. Alerts setting can be trigged to your computer / Smart phone and video can be seen on at least 2 cameras remotely, the system supports only dropbox at the time (NT) The system is equipped with a smart internet interface My Experience with Security Cam based systems were poor & Lores and not available to the average public and a chore to install and maintain in working condition. B/W Lores under the hood with audio produced marginal results and failing a great deal, installation and support, running at least 4x the cost of this ENTIRE system. Less than a decade ago I got a Portable Cloud based, waterproof Security Cam system which produced marginal Color and audio costing as much for each ONE camera in the system, the ONLY noticeable advantage was portability which Swan offers accessories at a far better cost. Installation for a challenged person like me will be ongoing to cover the entire home 1st and 2nd floor. Transparent Tape and 60’ white cords mean my greatest challenge will be a step ladder, however professional Installer contacts are provided by swann systems. Ultra HD, wifi, Solar panels systems are also available based on your budget. I hooked up this DVR to another DVR with Ethernet MOCA and built in wifi and they are now BFFs w/o issues, also hooked up display to a VGA port on my a NON-SMART TV and results were good, screen cannot display all 8 Camera feeds automatically but it does 4 with no issue and ½ of two more but well into the limit of my needs since I can always replay what they captured.

Decent full featured security system
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've used a number of home camera systems over the years but always avoided wired systems. Primarily because I didn't want to deal with running the cables. However, the wireless systems are nice but not always reliable. Particularly if the signal has to pass thru brick walls and such. This system (I have the 8 camera version. Exactly the same as the 4 camera) comes with everything you need. Cameras, cables and the hard drive. Running the cables isn't as bad as I expected. Just figure out where you want to place the cameras and measure out the cables to make sure you have enough. This shouldn't be an issue as the cables are more than long enough. The cameras are indoor or outdoor cameras. So far the harsh winter weather hasn't created any problems. Having a local hard drive is the way to go. You can still access your cameras from anywhere, but you have the footage stored locally. This is a good way to go instead of worrying about everything being online. The entire system is pretty easy to use and full featured. If there is a downside it's that the cameras are 1080p. These days you would expect 4K. However, those systems are out there but cost much more. And at the end of the day 1080p works fine. Also, 1080p takes up less hard drive space enabling you to store more footage. The day/night switching works well and the video even at night is decent. Good enough to identify someone from the image. Motion detection works great. You can even use this with Alexa & Chromecast. I would say for most home owners (or small businesses) this will provide you with everything you need and with good quality.
