Setup of this camera isn't very straight forward. The base station said setup is completed, but the camera doesn't stream at all even when there is notification of motion. I have to reset to get it working. The 2k view of the camera is good, I can see all the live view with very little delay and the quality is acceptable. Once I switch to 4k view, the quality of the feed greatly improved so as the lag of the livestream. At one point I was viewing the live feed from 3 mins ago. This set of camera is only good for 2k, not 4k.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hi SanchongC,
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear that you’ve had some issues with the setup. It sounds frustrating to get a notification of motion but not be able to stream the live feed properly until you reset the camera. That’s certainly not the experience we want you to have.
We’re glad to hear that the 2K view has been good, with minimal delay and acceptable quality. It seems like the 4K streaming might not be as reliable as expected for your setup, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’re constantly working on improving the performance of our products, and your feedback helps us make those improvements.
If you have any further questions or need assistance troubleshooting, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re here to help.
Your feedback is truly appreciated.

I don't want to talk down on this camera system but the installation is a bit of a process. You have to make sure that you have good wifi or have a ethernet hub to connect the main hub to the internet. The cameras quality themselves is pretty incredible.Based off of the usage, just for the night. Was able to see at night pretty good. The only downfall is the camera does need light nearby in order to identify somebody. It's niceThe fact that the cameras can charge and have a solar panel on them plus wifi range is pretty decent.

Hi There,
Thank you for your feedback. It’s great to hear that you’re impressed with the camera quality, especially the night-time performance and that the solar charging and Wi-Fi range have been working well for you. Those are key features we’re proud to offer, and we're glad they’re making a positive impact.
You're absolutely right that installation can take a bit of planning, especially when it comes to ensuring a strong Wi-Fi connection or setting up an Ethernet link to the main hub. And thank you for noting that while the night vision works well, having some ambient light nearby does help with clearer identification.
If you ever need help optimizing your setup or have questions about improving performance, feel free to reach out to us anytime. We’re always here to support you.
Your feedback is truly appreciated.

Fantastic 4K Solar Extended Wi-Fi Security System

I already have the app making it an easy setup. But, I like the app as it’s simple to use. I love the fact these cameras are solar. Therefore, I don’t have to do any wiring. I just plug and play, and then mount. Plus, I can move the cameras if I desire. I love that it doesn’t have to be stuck in one spot. I can move it as long as there is sun. These cameras have incredibly long range and beautiful 4k color day and even color night vision. The motion and heat sensing is crazy cool. I can scare away the rabbits and other critters with the siren or the 2-way talk. It’s pretty awesome. I can also keep an eye on areas of our property that we don't have good sight-lines. These cameras are a win in my book.
Pros:
No Wiring
Easy to set up
App is easy to use
Beautiful color image
Beautiful color night vision
Wi-Fi HaLow Technology
Sensor Lights
Siren
Solar built in
2 Cameras w/up to 2k ft of coverage

Hi Mich,
Thank you for sharing such a detailed review. We’re thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying your Swann MaxRanger system and that it’s working so well for you.
It’s great to know that the app made the setup easy and that you appreciate the flexibility of the solar-powered cameras. Being able to move the cameras as needed, without worrying about wires, is definitely a huge plus. Plus, the fact that you can scare away rabbits (and other critters) with the siren or 2-way talk feature is pretty awesome.
The pros you’ve listed really highlight the standout features of the system. It’s also great to see you mention the Wi-Fi Hallow technology and the expandable camera options, which really add to the system's versatility.
We also appreciate you noting the cons. While the lack of pan/tilt is a limitation for some, it’s helpful to know how this impacts your experience, and we’ll keep that feedback in mind for future product developments.
