Customer Ratings & Reviews

This camera is excellent! The picture is so clear I can read license plates on cars! I love the zoom in feature! The DVR interface is very easy to navigate and it comes with the mouse! Installation was done myself, a bit involved since I was putting it outside my building. Cameras work great outdoors!

The set up was very easy,you just need to know where to run your cables.once everything is connected properly set up is very easy with the step-by-step program. once everything is connected properly set up is very easy with the step-by-step program period. Once you're all connected and you have it hooked up to your Wi-Fi you can also download an app which lets you view your cameras from anywhere on your iOS

Good daytime pictures but night time pictures are not so good.very grainy.

Not advertised very well that these are 5MP Cameras. Very good quality. The substream view on mobile device and remote playback is great. The windows based remote software Is not functional at all. Although for me phone - tablet viewing is fine and I extended the DVR via HDMI and wireless mouse to my big screen TV’s which shows the crystal clear main stream video quality. Night view is as expected with a non commercial camera. Tip: only pull video and picture directly from the DVR for best quality. Only reason this system is not five star for me is the PC based remote viewing being basically non functional.

I bought this system after returning a completely wireless system and found it to be junk. This system was super easy to set up. Even though you have to be able to run the lines, if you can do that this is the only way to go. The clarity of the cameras are great even in the dark. There was a coupon in mine for a free basic install which I did not use, not sure how basic they really mean, it does say you are responsible for any additional costs, didn't need it at any rate. My only complaint is there is no manual with it beyond basic startup instructions which is all you need to get it going but to really learn the system I have to go download it from somewhere. I plan on expanding to four more cameras as you quickly learn what you are missing (viewing wise). The app is great to view it on your phone, there is zero delay in the feed and the app only takes about ten seconds to be up and running viewing live feeds from the cameras. So far I am super impressed with the cameras. I friend of mine who used to install camera and security systems is very impressed with the system and he used to do high end stuff.

Purchased this system to keep an eye out around the house. Routing the wires is a little bit of a hassle, but I expected that. I got this system because of a YouTube review covering features. Image quality is very good using hdmi output. It will take some time tuning trigger zones and sensitivity, but well worth it. The SwannView Plus app works well with an iPad mini using wifi on live feed, although the image guality through the app isn't as good as at the monitor. App seems buggy on video replay. Better off using the base station. Planning to buy more cameras to fill the empty slots

The cameras, dvr and recording quality, as well as using the system ONCE it is setup is very nice and somewhat intuitive. The setup from the box instructions are very limited and can stall even a tech pro. The box also claims that you can view your cameras from the web but you CANNOT use any web browser to view your videos, you must use their app and software. Not a big deal, but misleading. It used to be nice to be able to go anywhere on anyone's computer, and watch your cameras just by going to your domain and logging in. Now, you must have their app. For the quality of 5MP HD videos and clarity of recordings makes this system great, once the setup hassle is completed.

Got this about a few months ago easy diy setup for any one to do. Clear picture to see everything day or night Digital zoom lets you even closer to pick out surprising details Cameras are small enough to put just about anywhere Dvr is a 2tb with more then enough for 2 months of continuous recording

I like the set up, very easy to install literally Plug and Play. Would have given it 5 stars if the camera angle was greater, only allows for 70 degrees of viewing, little disappointed would have preferred 120 degrees or at least 90 degrees. Overall, glad I bought it and I love the fact that I can check in at anytime, anywhere via app on phone.

The camera quality is great. I can see faces very clearly; when people enter my buisness. Only a few cons when i go to distance on playing back a few hours before,on fast fowarding it starts to lag very bad after around 1 hour so i have to take of the playback and put it back on again.

I had this installed about a month now. Very clear crisp video, lots of functional features, easy to set up. Only negative is that it doesn't come with audio. Could have been better with audio as standard feature.

Cameras work great, picture is clear, easy to use and easy to install! Not too big so cameras are easily hidden. Nice wide angles for viewing. We plan on buying more.

This is a great product for someone who is looking to purchase a basic security system, good image quality, & plenty of storage. The night vision range is not what I expected & the operating system for the hard drive is somewhat Windows 95, but overall I am pleased with the system.

Great high definition cameras you can use while away through your phone although I am still working on getting the notifications to work. Probably just need a few tweaks here and there. I recommend.

exactly what expected. has all the bell and whistles

I purchased this system after many reviews. It was easy to install. I ran all wiring and installed cameras in one day throughout the attic for outside home security. The POE was my main reason for purchasing. No extra wiring for power was needed as it it is all self contained. The camera quality is amazing. The biggest problem is that they are a little dark at night.

Purchased the 8 camera system and installed myself. Easy setup and great quality cameras, night vision is also really good. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Everything about this system is great, it's clear, the playback is awesome on the DVR, the app needs work but theyve been improving

The Swann camera system is very simple to work for a beginner and the clarity of the camera for day and night recording.

This is the best for your home anywhere you go you can see your home for free and its easy to hook up
