First security cameras I ever purchase,wasnt sure...too many to choose from,was afraid they were going to be a pain to set them up,these system is so easy,as easy as hook them up and plug them in and follow every step the program will guide you,only one cable per camera so you dont have to worry about another cable to power them up,60ft long..enough for my home,got two with the system and bought an extra camera,hardest thing with this cameras was going up the attic and get that cable through,one camera is right next to my yard gatedoor,other on my backyard and one more front my home looking toward my front door,view in this cameras are awesome,night vision is so clear,pretty impressive for the price,love to check my cameras everyday and see what it record,great addition to my already home security system!!

I purchased this camera system on a deal of the day special. For that price, it is totally worth it (anything else, maybe not so much). If you do it yourself, it does take some work and handiness - I spent half a day running wires through the attic and walls to my main TV in the living room because there was no way I was going to let cords just hang out around the ceiling to outside cameras. The package does come with this "installation card" but upon calling, it was still going to be around $300 to get it done by their suggested company. If you purchase, the FIRST thing you want to do before anything else, is plug everything is and make sure it all works. I did this for both cameras and they worked fine, but after installing, I found out that the 60ft cord that I had not tried out was faulty... and had to wait for Swann to send me a brand new one after calling. Once installed though, it works quite well. I've only had one other issue since and that was the DVR not recognizing the hard drive anymore (so I took the DVR back to Best Buy where they were able to switch it out for me, which was a much quicker option than sending it back to Swann to have them repair and send it back). The cameras work well and the night vision is pretty good for just keeping and eye on things. The DVR is good at keeping track of movement and recording if you have it set up to do so. The Swann View Link App is pretty easy to use, just scan the QR code on top of the DVR and you're pretty much ready to go. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to make it send myself emails when the cameras are triggered by movement (by I think it's Google that won't let the DVR access the email account I created specifically for this camera system). Otherwise, I'm pretty satisfied with the purchase.
