The cameras are very nice and are super clear. They also work well at night. This is a hard wire system so it takes a while to install it correct. If you are not good at running wires in the walls and spending the evening in the attic then you should go with the Wi-fi systems .
Now the App is another issue. This app was being ran by another company and they must have made them upset because they dropped Swann. The App has issues now. As of Aug 2020 they still don't have all the issues fix just read the comments on the app in the play store.
If I would not have spent so much time on the install I would have took this system back due to all the App issues.
If the app was working as good as the system on the hard drive this would be a simple 5 star but this app is a fail.
Also it has red and blue light and alarms but you can only set them off one at a time . You can't set them all off at once. Again I think this could be a simple fix for a good App.

I purchased this system to replace an earlier generation Swann 8 channel DVR system. The old system was good and performed well. This new system is even better with HD cameras. Excellent resolution, easy installation and connection to the cloud and smartphone app.

We installed the cameras with no issues
Love the pictures on the cameras. All pictures are crystal clear with vivid color. The night vision is easy to see the pictures. The Swann Enforcer works great with both the monitor and our cell phones

Very easy to hook up. It replaced an older Swann system so the camera wires were able to be used from the old unit. Power plug was different. On screen controls are way nicer, and cameras are very clear. Works great so far.

Crisp video. Replay exceeds my expectations. Night or low light video is good quality. Motion activated saves storage space and makes it easy to review activity. Only negative is the users manual is only online.

Decent purchase. There are a few things I wish were available. On this model, the tilt of the cameras are limited. The is no audio/speaker feature so you can't hear what's going on. The camera images are great! The night
vision is decent. The app is a little difficult but works. Overall I am satisfied but now wish I got cameras that pan and tilt; had to use 2 cameras to cover my entire front porch.

I won several of these. overall a nice system, easy to setup, but absolutely terrible to backup because it can't copy more than one day at a time and can't handle a USB drive bigger than 32gb. I've been calling tech support. they are polite but don't know much about the box to be honest. I finally got someone who said he'd pass on y feature request to the dev team.

I've got this on sale, good start. Although I haven't installed them yet, I have been doing several tests and everything works really good. Image seems more like a solid 1080 and not 4k, however since this is my first camera system I don't have a point of comparison with a real 1080p system, anyway image still good.
Setup, sort of easy, I didn't require any call center help, but, the software has too may options, anyone will need to spend hours to fully understand all of the capabilities.
In summary, I'm pleased with the purchase so far, cameras and the module are built with quality. I'm doing the installation myself and hope everything goes well.

The cameras are clear in the night with the help of the light. The app is a bit difficult to manage the playbacks are hard to find the one you want. I got a lot of false notifications that activate the alarm and that’s annoying especially at 2am. It’s a good system just needs a better app.

I’ve been through a lot of security cameras and systems and this one by far is the best. It’s the hardest to instal but the quality is worth the effort for hole poking and wire pulling. Once your done you have 4K quality without interruptions for signal loss etc. I have a REVO wireless system that is always losing connection to the cameras. This resulted in an inability to identify some thieves who walked straight toward a camera. You can read license plate number from across the street with this rascal. I haven’t figured out how to download video from the internet yet but I haven’t invested a lot of time either.
