That's a stonking price, great find.

I've seen Swann in action, they're very good.

I paid £250 for my 4 camera system and very happy with it.

Apparently yes, will find out soon enough as I have ordered one.

Hi, it says so in the last line of the description:

How good are these cameras? That's my only concern as the price is very good.

24bar to hutchir9

8 Nov 16 #13

I'd agree with that.
Having purchased a non swann kit on ebay & struggling with connectivity, i have found swann cctv kits a doddle especially with their invaluable and helpful customer support.
They also have their own app for viewing remotely

mymymy

8 Nov 16 #7

I I have the Swan app on my phone and tablets. I can watch live and take a photo of whatever is going on.

popcorn786 to mymymy

8 Nov 16 #8

I know you can view on a phone, but does it have to be set up through WiFi/router? Thanks

24bar

8 Nov 16 #9

From past experience, i'd say yes.
Everything is included in the box. They include a fair amount of cable too (usually 15m) for each camera.

It can work as a stand alone camera + DVR system.
With the addition of the Internet connection you can view remotely.

This looks like a good deal but be aware that DVD quality is a bit of a compromise these days.

Good deal for a good brand

YES it does.

Will any Swann camera go with this to make it 4 camera?

mymymy to lodderstracy

8 Nov 16 #18

I think you should be ok.

mymymy

8 Nov 16 1 #16

The viewing are recorded quality is excellent. Night vision is also good. When my security light comes on at night the picture is so good it looks like daytime. I've had mine about 5 years or so now. I posted a deal years ago too. As others have said the customer service is great and lifetime I think. They helped me set mine up.

thank you...... Have no idea what I've just ordered but my hubby mentioned CCTV a while ago, so hope I get some brownie points

mymymy to mleadbitter07

I got my window cleaner to make a hole for each camera and threaded the cable through. The cables are pretty long too. Very simple instalation.
The other part of the instalation was a head foof lol

Swann are ok as daytime cameras, but they are well known for poor night time recording

Video Quality = 900 TV Lines :laughing:

Pimpson

Interested in this. Can someone who has a similar setup comment on how exactly they have it wired up and where they have it placed and connected to etc?

andrewlowey

8 Nov 16 1 #26

The resolution of these cameras is terrible. Swann is a very good brand, but you need at least the 720p (1080p preferably) to get a decent image. I have installed all three types

I was thinking of getting the new RING wifi video Doorbell (this kind of thing: link) but wasn't too sure.

Would this kind of thing be better for security?

Appreciate it has two cameras, so could cover two areas rather than one with the RING Doorbell, but never had either before so open to suggestions!

joeboy22

Tempted to buy this but just read a comment from Swann in the Q&A section....

One thing to note however is that the kit you are enquiring about is a 960H model and you would get significantly better quality recording by going for an HD kit.

I think I'll wait and look out for a HD version. Still a good price though OP. Heat.

linhang90

8 Nov 16 1 #31

900h should be pretty bad.. even less than 720p. I mean personally 720p is already not good enough.. bought a set and ended up returning... now looking for a set that is at least 1080p.. no point recording when u cant see things clearly..

barneyonion

8 Nov 16 #32

Do these have any motion detection capability so that you can review footage and find the bits where stuff has been happening?

jane34 to barneyonion

the one i posted has, but i haven't tried it .also has mobile access

We bought the below from ebay £99.99 plus 1t hard drive for for £40
the weather proof box we also bought below 'cut round hole for camera' to put the camera in and to hide the camera as we were fitting it under the guttering and hides the camera well so not noticeable, 'painted the inside of the box black so no reflection' easy to fit and setup, all cables label and were to fit in.
really clear pictures during the day and night , night picture is amazing couldn't believe how the picture was so clear for a night camera, 'tested it out side in the back garden where there is no light, complete darkness couldn't see anything with the naked eye, tried the camera and it just showed up the complete back garden and that was with no light pitch black' recording is on constant so don't have to worry it just over records when drive is full, it has a day and time stamp so you can check any time or day when replaying back footage.
hope this helps

still looking for a POE system - not sure 720p would be good enouth

frankie1g

not 1080p so no chance of face recognition or number plate reading at distance

Are the cameras waterproof?

I beleive this this deal is the model after shown in the YouTube. looks good to me.

kalico

8 Nov 16 #41

Are you sure that is as good a deal? Or at least what you think it is?

Seems on reading the description that the recorder is 960H resolution (not sure how that differs from 900H - I'm no expert in these things, just want to buy one) and yet the cameras are (quote): "Two clear-resolution 650TVL cameras with powerful night vision up to 25m". Surely, 650TVL is much WORSE than the two cameras in this Screwfix deal? They are (quote): "2 x High Resolution 900TVL Cameras".

Happy to stand corrected if I've got that wrong.

Sorry ignore it.Got it completely wrong (About the Ryman deal) Have deleted my comment.

charlesb224

8 Nov 16 2 #43

Good price, but you need to run 2 cables to each camera (Power and Data). The better systems use PoE (Power over Ethernet) meaning single cable provides data and power connection to the camera.
Costco have the equivalent one here: Swann PoE NVR you also get full HD (1920x1080 pixels, equivalent to 1000TVL)
£224.89 (+5% for non-costco members)

does anyone know if new cables are required to link all components together or can I plug it into my existing cat 6 network ?

Yes, the footage quality will be pretty crap

My bad - how do you power the cameras, the coax/bnc is data only...?

You power the cameras from the DVR 1 cable splits into visual and power

Screwfix just phone me up to say all of these have been recalled due to quality issues....... I ordered last night

Pazza315

9 Nov 16 #59

I have just had mine delivered, not sure I should even open it now!

sfndkks

9 Nov 16 #60

Is that all they said? And did you pay for the product online or you chose to pay upon collection (if possible)?

Pazza315

9 Nov 16 #61

I have spoken to screwfix and there are no issues with them, they rang Swann to double check so all seems good with them.

sandriderman

9 Nov 16 #62

I don't believe screwfix for a second, I guess they ran out of stock. I paid on line to collect in store

Pazza315

9 Nov 16 #63

I have a feeling you're right, over stretched themselves and wanting an excuse

sfndkks

9 Nov 16 #64

I'm due to pick mine up at 12pm, fingers crossed otherwise one of them will get a beat with a stick

Pazza315

9 Nov 16 #65

I took free delivery option, really impressed, ordered last night, dispatched last night and delivered at 9.30 am today!

Sharp7

9 Nov 16 #66

Just been called by Screwfix, "My order has been abandoned" and I'm to call a seperate number to get a refund

Pazza315

9 Nov 16 #67

What reason was quoted?

sfndkks

9 Nov 16 #68

Same here... the reason is: on the time of delivery to the store them item got damaged.... I told them no problem I can have the item as damaged and do a part refund, the answer was, the item is not safe to use and it's been already recalled and no stock available to replace it.
The guy said he actually works in the store and not the warehouse and that they've asked him to call and explain! He also said this is the first time something like this happens and that he is sure there is another reason behind it

Pazza315

9 Nov 16 #69

Sounds fishy! There head office is confirming NO recall

Sharp7

9 Nov 16 #70

All the guy said was he heard from head office that the item never got sent out due to issues with the item and that they had just abandoned the order. The way the guy explained it sounded like he got fobbed off with a lack of info just as much as he could tell me.

mwalke36

9 Nov 16 #71

Currently mid argument with them as my order has also been cancelled due to no stock. Screwfix have confirmed that it was in stock when I ordered, but for some reason it's not now.I have asked them to explain why when I ordered at 12:19 and my brother ordered two at 15:06, both of his have been delivered this morning. A manager is going to call me back later today.

Pazza315

9 Nov 16 #72

I ordered at 4.30 and got it this morning delivered, seems no logic to it. Hope you get sorted

mwalke36

9 Nov 16 #73

All sorted. They have given me a different system at no extra cost.

Pazza315

10 Nov 16 #80

Make a formal complaint and stick to your grounds and you will be given a substitute, mine does cost £399!! And ended up paying £97 for it

A lot better system than I had anticipated. Great remote playback on PC, Android and iOS (PC Shown, there is also a local screen that can be attached to the DVR). Full control over motion capture including which areas of the screen to be ignored etc.
