I purchased this to replace one of my cameras that stoped working. Plugged it in and it worked great. Picture is very clear and sharp even in the dark.

The media could not be loaded.

The item arrived on time, and it is very noticeable from the sidewalk. I recommend this product.

One camera has failed in 5 months. The camera and mounting are plastic and very cheap. Has a very old 4 screw alignment system which is very time consuming to adjust. I do regret this purchase. I will now see how hard it is to replace a camera that died so quickly.My original Lorex system was good. My next Lorex system was replaced after 12 years, not because of quality, but the system software did not have an app for newer phones - but was working just fine locally. My newest Swann system has a camera that failed in 3 months. I have a bad feeling this system will not make it as long as my Lorex system.

This is my second Swann system. The cameras from my first system were starting to fail after 5 years, so bought this one - same system, just upgraded. Managed to just plug and play the cameras that stopped working. For the price, I don't mind changing out cameras every 5 years.

I live and manage a small building in the LA Southside, its always been generally safe place but since the pandemic there were a few car break-ins and safety concerns in general. Unfortunately I had to go through 3 different companies before finding a system that was big enough and robust enough to actually make a difference. This system from Swann has been an absolute god send. We’ve had it up for a week now and its been working perfectly. The image is super clear and the audio is crisp and easy to understand AND its already helped prevent some unruly behavior on our block. Maybe for a house you would only need 1-2 cameras but having this entire kit available covers our whole building and if I need to I can expand with a few more cameras from Swann. I’ve had a DVR system before and I think NVR is the better choice, especially these Swann ones, they’re great and have never failed me. So far so good, hoping we can keep our neighborhood safe with Swanns help.

Remplit le job pour la dissuasion.

I was very impressed with the day and night clarity compmpered to the camera it replaced.

Die Attrappe sieht hochwertig aus, auch aus der Nähe. Stellwinkel und Richtung lässt sich einrichten.Sehr zufrieden.

I like to think that it deters intruders - but somehow I think that I'm kidding myself. Anyway it looks the part as our working CCTV system uses an identical type of camera so perhaps it does tend to leaving the bad boys wondering whether any of our cameras are dummies or not. This dummy camera sits in a quiet area where we don't usually have problems where a working camera would not be cost effective.

NOTE: Had to put a 3 star because I tried a 1 and 2 star and my comments would not post, Yes i did buy this productUpon boot up, went thru set up wizard all 10 cameras did not recognize at all. I figured it needed some time, continued on. Set up finished. I waited and nothing, no camera IP address shown, no camera view.Started my toubleshooting as I work in a similiar technical field And have set up few NVR systems for peoples home.I used original cabling, i used shorter cabling to confirm no voltage drop issues, i can confirm camera boots up and is powered by hiding face plate can see the night vision LED and hear the switching, i thought maybe network (although unlikely) with ethernet, without ethernet, set up my router to let it bypass router firewall.I checked all settings, rechecked, find YT site for swann on set up, the official Swann website doesn't even recognize this model. I opened camera to see if there's a reset, lo and behold 1st NVR camera system i found without a reset.Same for actual NVR no reset? Yes of course i checked ALL menu options, even went online searching.I was convinced its gotta be cameras sinces i see theyre powered over POE. So i opened up my 2 spare brand new camera boxes i had purchased along with this 10 camera system (if you ever had NVR in home overtime the cameras will fail and finding the exact model is hard especially over time). I plugged in, nothing, removed power to NVR (which restarts wizard but retains previous info) nothing, no camera IP address popped up.Remember cover the camera faceplate and night vision kicks in, its still powered. So no loose connection.Now i guess you can say im frustrated, installed 5 of the 10 cameras and decided to test, these places were in high wall of my exterior house, was not easy and now will need to remove and install back my old system.another note, the box i received was not damaged in anyway, it was a bit plain i could say, no identification except barcode stickers with multiple boxes, maybe Amazon warehouse had correct camera boxes but wrong NVR who knows.I can say this. Every NVR system i set up, i never saw one with camera POE ports without the amber and green LED.Conclusion - possible wrong NVR sent but right cameras since the boxing was very generic component boxes inside had barcodes. Who knows.What i can say is the build of the NVR was beyond cheap. No excuse for no amber/green LED for POE ports, no ability to hard reset, rectifier module is in the plug assembly like a laptop not the normal plug in your powered 120V cord like a TV. Swann, i used your system for 8yrs in my own house, im not sure where profit and quality is graded in your company, but i can say your quality systems have declined enormously. Your cameras were superb build quality, now all plastic, even the positioning format is ARCHAIC at best, unscrew a gimble screw to position? Serious?Sorry but this is my fault too, i chose a very well marketed system and saw the price and jumped on it 850.Save your money look for something else - i am.
