sorted by“innovative Thermal-Sensing Motion Detection Technology
This system features Swann’s True Detect PIR Thermal Sensing technology to reliably detect heat-generating moving objects, such as people, large pets & cars. With more accurate motion detection you have more reliable notifications & recording, eliminating false triggers such as falling leaves, bugs, rain & more, saving you hard drive space & playback time.”
Just saying
Maybe, but sold as new and direct from amazon.
Even if it was refurb they should really be formatting it!
You set it continually or with motion.
Its really your choice.
You neef to get wifi extender with ethernet plug. And plug the hard drive to it.
The harddrive dose not have built in wifi
Good deal.
I fitted mine today
Quality is excellent. Reads number plates from distance
I purchased a stand alone camera which doesn’t have a hard drive, camera is class App is rubbish, so need a system like this with a hard drive.
You can’t add 4k camera only the 5mp
Your getting the best camera swann sells after there 4k camera. Night vision is good and clear. Its hard to judge a reviews as quality depends on peoples opinions. You have to go for the specs
Camera quality was great though but really let down by interface. Amazon did a deal for 4 5mp cameras and dvr for £200, but ended up sending all back.
Also what was quite worrying was I got a brand new sealed and unopened box, but it already had someone’s details inputted and their recordings!!! There’s an official method for when you forget the password, so I did that and found the previous owners details and password! So not so new stock from Swann!
Manufacturers Refurb ?
A lot of the time its because they put the camera at an angle that is too close to the wall, so the infrared hits the wall and bounces back blinding the camera.
Use the app RXcamlink, it is updated more often.
You sound experienced in this, is this any good or is there better out there for this money.
I quite enjoy installing so it should be ok, does it need the data cable running from the camera into the modem or a range extender ?
Thanks! You could say that
But yes, this is a great deal and I doubt you'll find any better for anywhere near this price.
How?
I currently have an older Swann system, which needed to be upgraded
What have they updated?
I’ve returned the system via Collect+ to very.
Will they just refund or replace?
It will be up to you on what you want
I was not given a choice on the return form or on the website so I presume since the returns help talks of credit taking 14 days to happen after they receive the item back, that is what will happen.
To be honest I am in two minds whether to ask them to replace the cctv or just take the refund and try something else.
Their tech support confirmed they no longer support Internet Explorer or any browser come to that.
My existing cctv is a Hikvision 960 lines analogue system. The two reasons I want to upgrade are the heat sensors and the increased image resolution.
Are Swann the only cameras that fit the bill ?
I fitted mine over a week ago. And its great. No issues at all and can ready any near by number plate. If your willing to spend more than you should get another hikvision .
