Client Evaluations
So far, this technique has met all of my expectations ... and more. It was effortless to set up and it is recording 24/7 video for us with no problems. I am honestly impressed with how Swann has made this such a total, ready to go, system. I had two cameras recording and being displayed on the Tv inside 20 minutes of opening the box. Of course I had not but routed the wiring however for suitable camera placement and effectively hiding of the wires. Note, this is by far the most time consuming and frustrating element to setting up a security method, but that is not the fault of this system. (For allot extra funds you can order a wireless process.)
The only negative I have is the ability to configure the program so that I can attain remote monitoring, ie a iphone or ipad. The matter is that the Mac Airport Extreme Router does not assistance the UpNP interface that this system needs. Swann's documentation says that there is alternate hope, but it appears especially complex (they even say this) and I think beyond my IT/network capability. I hope to figure it out, but it is not mission essential.
On the really good side, the night vision efficiency is incredibly decent, the day light performance is outstanding, the four camera display on the Tv or personal computer monitor is fantastic, and the process settings configurability is rather substantial. Instance, instead of recording at 30 fps I changed it to 1 fps so to save difficult drive space and therefore be in a position to capture numerous a lot more days of history ahead of it begins over-writing old data. I did attempt the motion detection function. It seemed to work well, but I've opted for 27/7 capture at 1 fps. The potential to assessment history is pretty slick and rather painless to have an understanding of. The remote is a bit clumsy, but utilizing the mouse is really efficient.
Summary: I am pretty pleased to be in a four camera, night vision, 500 GB DVR, continuous recording surveillance technique for $250.
I'd say the only issue to watch out for is if you totally demand "intelligent phone" viewing that you prepare for difficult IT/Network tinkering. Perhaps it will be simple on a UpNP capable router.
Product: 3 STARS
Assuming that we get the two damaged cameras back with no additional challenges (see consumer service), the technique is not bad deal general, but not actually a excellent deal either. The set up directions are clear and the included wiring is sufficient for what most persons will need to have. The software is a bit clunky and we are nevertheless playing around with it, it works albeit less cleanly than you'd like. Reviewing video is a chore unless you have a distinct time in thoughts. The cameras seem to be an older model camera. The ones that are not defective seem to function fine. If all of the cameras had come in working effectively, it would be closer to a three.5 star method.
Client SERVICE: INCOMPLETE (BUT SO FAR DISAPPOINTING)
We tested all of the wires and gear before running any wires. Which was a good point since a single of the cameras was DOA. So we contacted consumer service to set up a replacement.(The instructions clearly tell you not to return to the retailer, but to get in touch with consumer service-I now which we had just re-boxed and performed a return by means of Amazon.) They told us they would send us an RMA to return the defective camera, and to go ahead and set up the other people. So we did.
We had to call them back to get an RMA simply because they did not send a single as promised. Then when we took it in to get it returned and realized they didn't give us a shipping label. Upon additional evaluation they call for that the Buyer pays for return shipping till it is 'proven' that you purchased the item much less than 30 days ago. Just as we get ready to send it in, a second camera fails. So now we are down two out of three. We are now past the 30 days and nonetheless have not received the replacements.
