A decent review of a product, either too long or short and either too fast or too slow. Great attention to the details! Keep up your good work, man!

Very nice! I actually have a 4K Lorex NVR kit I purchased last year. I specifically chose the set I have now because of the color night vision and ability to (which most POE camears don't) record audio. I see Swann has taken it a step further by including two-way audio. With that said, I have to give a thumbs down to pretty much all of the POE NVR systems when it comes to software. Although you said it nicely, the apps all suck! Nest, Ring and all the rest are light years ahead of these companies when it comes ease of usability for apps. The ultimate system would have the at minimum the following:


-Accurate motion detection with zones

-Great hardware

-Great software

-POE

-Two-way audio



Like you I have a combination:



-POE system for continuous recording

-Ring doorbell

-Several Wyzecams



Some day one of these companies will get it right. Until then I'll stick with my mashup!

Thank you!
I’m still learning about my new SWANN NVR (upgraded from a SWANN DVR system)
Trying to get used to the different options and settings for the system (I wish there was a “disable alerts” button in the phone app such as my eufy 2K doorbell has for stopping the endless notifications while I’m washing the car in the driveway)
I also want to use the time settings to stop sending me “detection” notifications during the times I have set to not record motion etc.
I think SWANN still need to improve the “new customers experience” as the “out of the box” settings can be challenging to understand. They do have a lot of videos but then you need to try searching specific settings. And they DO need to send a snapshot of what caused the detection alert as I’m tired of seeing nothing that caused it and then having to dig down in the app (after refreshing the recording list with a swipe down) to try find footage.
Will check more of your videos 😃

[techbyjon]

Great video. Was looking exactly for everything you went over!

[tonyb]

Great videos. One thing that I would suggest. You should mount a j box underneath your awning and then mount the cameras that you are testing to a removable cover. You test a lot of cameras and we enjoy your videos. If you keep mounting the cameras the way you are. You are going to make your house look like crap with all of the screw holes.
