Add-On Indoor/Outdoor Surveillance Camera

Q: What is the field of view on this camera?

A: 90 deg field of view

Q: just installed 2 add on cameras they wont come on and display

A: Check and make sure your monitor resolution can handle the video feed. I had an issue with one monitor not picking up the signal. Also make sure you have them on either 1&2, 3&4, 5&6, or 7&8. You can only run an even number of cameras and they have to be on the 2 channels that work together. Hope this helps.

Q: my video keeps on rolling on my tv, also no audio

A: undefined

Q: Does it have a microphone?

A: No. Video and power quality is really good though.

Q: What is the range of this camera in daylight? I need to focus on something about 300 feet away.

A: You can easily see some one walking around, can see dog or cats, but I don't think you would be able to recognize a face or read license plates. swann with 1080p camera's in bright light.

Q: Can you add more cameras to a swann smart series SWDSK-850004 A

Additonal 1080 camera purchase for outside use
I originally purchased a 4-camera Swann package (two 1080's, two 720's) which also comes with four sets of 60' wire, power supply and 8-channel DVR. Additional wire may be needed for longer lines. I needed three more outside cameras to adequately keep tabs on my property. I went with 1080 cameras @ $99 each. Each camera gives a 90 degree view and enhanced video in low light. The 720's are limited to 77 degree site line and video quality is not as good for outside...I used those inside. Definitely recommend 1080 cameras which is equivalent to 8MM movie camera definition.

Unforeseen issues
Its hard to give a great review of this system. We haven't had one before so we have nothing to compare it too. For starters trying to install it would be very hard since you need tools to drill through brick (and other) walls. Once installed the guide it comes with doesn't really tell you anything to help you outside of the few basics. So you have to mess with settings yourself or look them up online to know what they do. Now, there are some problems with the product itself. For one I was told they have audio. But out of the 6 cameras we bought, none have it. The camera settings show you can do things like mechnicaly tilt the cameras, pan them...etc. But they actually cannot be automatically moved from the settings like they say they can. Wherever you face them is where they will look. Swann didn't have an answer as to why their box reads wrong. The settings as mentioned are very hard to understand. Sometimes you save a setting, but it resets itself. Other times a setting that should be there is not. For example one of the camera does not display in full HD. Instead its reduced to a much lower resolution. Within the first day Best Buy had to come out to replace a camera that wasn't working right. I do feel the cameras are very expensive, as are the cords you need (if you install separate cameras). The better systems should costs thousands, so of course you get what you pay for in this case. With that said the video quality is relatively nice. So far they have helped alot with catching people sneaking across our property, kids fighting in the street and so on. And if you have a flash drive you plug it into the security system and can cut out clips you want to save. We did so and sent a clip to the police. You can also use "mask" settings and click little red boxes where you don't want the camera to record from when you have it set to motion detection. In our case it doesn't start to record every time a car goes by. only records things not on the street. You can also set it to continuous mode which means it never stops recording. From what I seen it can record about a month at a time worth of footage. Rerecording over the oldest footage first. The cameras survived our very brutal winter in temperatures about 3 degrees (-10 with wind chill). Even though I only give it three stars, I'd still say considered the best you can get at Best Buy though.
