Home security
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Range is a bit limited, had to move base unit to get camera on far end of house to connect. Test camera location before mounting. Great face and person detection. Charging cameras once a month with 2 batteries of 4 in each camera. Access to charging port without removal from case would be nice.

Posted .Hello John,
Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your positive feedback on our Swann System. The layout and size of your residence, Wi-Fi router location, and where your NVR will be installed all play a part in where your cameras are placed and which mode they will operate on. Also, consider the infrastructure within the residence or if there are multiple stories and other surrounding Wi-Fi-type devices. In medium and large size dwellings, there might be Wi-Fi dead spots where devices fail to find a Wi-Fi signal or the signal strength is extremely low. You can find these dead spots by walking around your house with your mobile device and looking at the bars indicating the signal strength. This is typically caused by physical barriers such as a wall or large objects obstructing the Wi-Fi signal. By utilizing one or more WiFi repeaters, you can eliminate these dead spots by extending the coverage of your Wi-Fi network. We hope you continue enjoying all the great features the system offers. If you have any questions or require further assistance, please know that we offer 24-hour technical support. Click on the blue box on the bottom right-hand corner to live chat with a technical support agent or contact us over the phone.

Decent security
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Theses are great so far. I've only had to go back and look at the video 1 and it was easy enough. They were quit expensive to have installed. Over $800. Best buy now has a program that this would have been great for. I did end up buying a smaller TV because for some reason the tech guy couldn't get mine to work. The tv is 6 years old.

Great system total tech was 3rd party
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loved everything and I'm a total tech member but 1 star taking from installation being 3rd party.. that caused quite a hassle and my brother who is also total tech still hasn't gotten his installed as they keep "rescheduling" . We purchased on the same day.

Bought it new but came locked to someones account
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as brand new from best buy. It had all the packaging and was sold as a new product. I 100% believe this was given to best buy from ghe manufacturer as a new product. However i went to set it up and its locked to someones account. I called seann and they confirmed that this unit was locked to a previousnusers account. Meaning it is not a new product. I found this out AFTER paying someone to come install all of the cameras. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT AND THIS MANUFACTURER.

Easy to install
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like the ability to use at home without monthly billing and search myself. The app is very easy to use and alerts me in clips of what occurs only. The cable lenght was enough for all cameras to fit in a 5 bedroom size house. Only issue is the cameras itself lacks the ability to be positioned left to right. It only rotates or goes up and down. Which requires me to add more wood in a wedge shape to orientate camera base.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from Swann
Posted .Thank you for your review Steve. The cameras should allow you to angle them left and right as well, but you may just need to play around a bit with the joints on the base and camera arm in order to position them differently. Hope this helps.

Cameras great, user interface very lacking
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera quality is great. Using the system is not user friendly. I don't think I will buy another Swann product. It is very hard to figure out how to set the parameters for recording. You can only view 4 of the 8 cameras at a time. You have to reconfigure the settings to view different recordings. I am having a very hard time setting certain cameras to record all the time and some to only record when there is motion. Since they are all hard wired, which means they can't be hacked, it is very labor intensive to install. Where as "Ring" systems are very easy. And they are not that cost prohibitive.
