Record each camera in Full HD 1080p resolution, then play back either on your SmartPhone or using the included HDMI cable attached to a compatible TV. (Also supports VGA output, cable not supplied.)
In addition to viewing from your TV it is easy to view recorded and real time footage from your SmartPhone or Tablet using the SwannView Link App* available for iOS and Android.
Install is quick and easy - install the app, scan the QR code sticker on your CCTV system & start viewing.
* For remote viewing via SmartPhone this CCTV system requires a broadband internet connection with a router that includes one free wired network port. SmartPhone must be iOS 6.0 and above or Android 4.0 and above.
The 1TB hard drive is chosen especially for continuously recording months worth of video.
By using a USB memory stick or external hard drive you can backup recorded footage from the Hybrid DVR and transfer to other devices or pass on to others should the need arise.
Use our Recording Time Calculator to determine how many days storage you can expect from this 2 camera, 1TB hard drive, HD 1080p CCTV system. If using motion detection we generally advise setting the most commonly used camera to 4 hours. We have set all other cameras to 2 hours as an estimate, but you can change this below to suit your needs.
* Based on using the default settings; system will begin to overwrite existing footage once storage is full.

I was sceptical about the quality of the picture and ease of installation when I ordered the system. I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of interconnection, both power and video, with the cameras which is simple and foolproof. I have the app installed on my smart phone and I was pleased to see how easy it was to pick up live images from the cameras when I am away from home. This is great value and I can't fault picture quality either night or day.
Given the clear instructions that come in the kit anyone that is competent with DIY should have no problem installing this system. Recommended, the reviews were not wrong.

I bought the four channel set up with two cameras initially. I immediately installed it covering my front drive and hallway. It was so simple to install and hardly used the installation book as its more or less 'Plug and Play'. It was that easy. After seeing the quality of the HD recording I then purchased a further two cameras to cover the garden and kitchen door.(Here I stumbled across a problem with a camera not working?? However I called customer support and immediately the problem solved... My error not the product, Doh)
Now for the technical side. Because my front drive has pedestrians walking past the drive the camera was picking them up but you can blank these areas out to stop activation of recording. Wow I was further impressed!! The day time recording quality is awesome and I was dubious about the infra red night time. Again this product proved me wrong. I installed the App on my phone to see if any good?? Again fantastic. So versatile and easy to use and if you want to screen shot a camera then you can and also activate recording to save to phone. I have not set up the alert activation as there is too much traffic within the home at all times but i am confident that will work. I would say the only thing I cannot suss out is what the Audio jacks are for?? Internal notification warning?? Its just a shame that you cannot connect audio to the app so that you can communicate with the base station(A friend has this on theirs and is very useful) One down side to this product. There is no option for western Europe for the time. And for some reason the time keeps changing?? I am sure this could be resolved. Overall I would say dont waste money on other products or even spend hours researching.. This is all you will need... Thank you Safe.co.uk for a brilliant product and outstanding custer support.

I needed some external cameras after someone tried to steal my car. I purchased these cameras after some research into different brands and features. Eventually, I settled on these as they provided the quality of image I needed within this price range. I shopped around and found them at the best price with Safe. I checked out some online reviews and ordered them. They arrived fast and were easy to set up. I’ve attached them to the outside of my house and they’re great. They are a good deterrent. The feature of watching live CCTV on your smartphone when away is really reassuring.

It's a little clunky to get set up, not fitting the cameras but the software, lots of preset to do. The cameras picture is brilliant and we can't knock that, but they are not perfect. We've had a swann system before and so expected the glitches.... And we got them. We've had to set one camera to continually record as the sensor has randomly stopped working. This isn't an issue for us as we have so little passing traffic that we can have it do so, however if we were in a city this would mean a camera replacement would be 100% necessary. Overall its a good system and for the money it's fine. Cameras are just a little sensitive.

I purchased the Swann DVR4-4580 a few months ago and installed it myself, very easy indeed. Setup the recorder to 24/7 with auto overwrite and TBH it has not put a foot wrong. Very clear images day or night and alerts work perfectly. Using the HomeSafe app on the laptop and mobile, I can access the live images and playback from anywhere in the world. Would recommend highly. Great service from Safe.co.uk.

i ordered this system after weeks of research and reading reviews of current users and received the system in double quick time,. The "read me first" guide was simple to understand and everything was connected for testing prior to installation of cameras - they worked first time. The next step was more difficult as this was the positioning of the cameras, however this was a local problem due to the layout of my property and not the equipment.The cameras were eventually positioned and the system was complete. I downloaded the app to my mobile and during my holiday in the USA I was impressed with the ease of monitoring my property remotely. The only negative I can mention is the constant request for my password when. switching screens during playback, I have now downloaded the user guide and will probably find it is because of setting options during the set-up phase. I can honestly recommend this system and I now have peace of mind when away from home at a reasonable price

I can honestly say that after having many security system's over the years, this is by far the easiest to use once you have the information logged inside your head, which took me a bit of time due to me being a bit of a numpty with computers.
The support team were very very helpful and patient with me at Swan and the supplying company which sold me the equipment.
I was a bit sceptical to start with, as it was off the internet I found them, but my fears were unfounded, the delivery and the packaging was second to NONE..! The equipment was here when they said it would be, which these days was very refreshing and professional of them.
Mark's out of 10, = 10 great job guys, don't let it go....!!
