Swann 8 Channel DVR with 4 Dome Cameras 2TB 1080P

Not only is this a great value home security camera system for a new install but this system is the best and most cost-effective way to upgrade your old analogue system to full 1080p HD without having to run new cables. These cameras will run over the same BNC cables you have installed for your existing system so all you need to do is swap over the cameras and the recorder and you have jumped up from your old 600/700/800TVL resolutions images to full high definition 1080p images.

This means these 2MP security cameras are going to allow you to make out details like faces and colours easily rather than you having to try and make out a grainy blurry image from your old system. The night vision is also drastically improved over the old analogue systems. Like all Swann CCTV systems, this is supplied in Kit form with Cameras, Cables and the recorder. Simple to install and setup, you will be recording your premises in just a few hours. For those of you new to CCTV, there is a recorder, this is the box with the Hard Disk Drive and the brains to control and record the cameras that are plugged into this recording box. The cameras are then plugged in using the 18mtr cables (longer cables are available) into any of the 8 channels. This kit is supplied with 4 cameras, therefore, you have the option to increase the number of cameras to 8. From experience, most houses use between 6 and 8 cameras, while smaller retail stores can use as little as 4.

The power and video signal are sent up and down the single camera cable making it very simple to install. Compared to Wireless systems, unfortunately, wireless systems are not as stable as wired systems, therefore we will always recommend a wired system over wireless for stability. Using the mobile phone app allows you to view your camera live or recorded footage on your mobile or tablet. You can be thousands of kilometres away and log in quickly to see what is happening at your premises. This is very handy when you need to know right now what is taking place. Like any system, you do get what you pay for and this system we consider a mid-range system with some limitations. Although this system is 2MP 1080P resolution and displays excellent images, the frame rate at which it records is 12 frames per second versus 25 real times on some of the more expensive systems.
