Record each camera in 5MP 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.
Upload still images to your Dropbox account, allowing you to access snapshots from your security cameras online - even if your security system is stolen.
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 4 camera, 1TB hard drive, 5MP 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.

Well designed product giving a feeling of quality. Comprehensive fixing kit and instructions. Templates for screw holes particularly useful when up a ladder. Good value for money.

I did a fair bit of trial and error before choosing this system. I tried the cheap and cheerful standalone cameras through to the more reputable WiFi systems. Although the image quality was good with these, they were not reliable enough with WiFi dropout and other faults. So I decided to spend a little more and get a Swann system professionally installed. I have been happy with the system and it works. All of the time!
So my advice to anyone considering cameras is to go for a wired installation that saves the images locally on the disk unit and offers online image storage. The notifications are great and have revealed the array of wildlife in my garden. Owls, cats, other birds and scarily, one rat!

We bought this system after researching various options as it seemed like value for money and would do the job we envisaged. It was relatively easy to install and worked first time. The cameras are excellent quality and with 4 are able to cover all our main security locations externally around our property. The image quality (day and night) is superb and it's really easy to download video and stills from the digital recorder and import them into photo and video software on my computer. The software provided for the digital recorder is extensive. Perhaps a little bit too complex for a general user. I did need to obtain some extension video cables. Again no problems because the universal couplings and leads were available locally from various hardware stores. Overall, we are extremely happy with the system - it does everything we need it to do - even remotely from our mobile phones.

The ease of set up was 5 stars.
The equipment seems to be well made.
The length of cable for each camera was perfect.
The cameras are good but I would have paid more for more clarity and better night vision.
Buying from Safe.co was an easy and satisfying experience.
So overall 4 stars for the whole thing.

Hi. I’d like to give my view on my purchase camera system. First of all the cameras are too sensitive, they start to record when is start to rain. Going outside in the night I’ve noticed that the camera did not record this which make me think that the sensor do not trigger during the night. The quality of the image of the cameras are not as I expected for 5M, especially as I’ve seen better image quality on a 2M cameras (diferent brand) on some of my friends’ cameras. Maybe my expectation was much higher!
I would appreciate any comments to improve the aboves

Good price and quick delivery from Safe. Easy set up and installation.
System has operated very reliably since installation 3 months ago. The quality of the bullet camera body is substantially poorer than the dome type camera. In particular the small nut and screw that allows angle adjustment on the bullet camera is very poor and flimsy. Both bullet cameras needed a degree of remedial action to fix. That said the cameras themselves seem good. The motion sensor is a little random, triggering recording with small things that are hard or impossible to spot and sometimes missing humans walking around at at distance even with the sensitivity set quite high. Night vision is acceptable but not great. The IR illumination completely washes out car number plates making them unreadable at night. The web viewing and phone viewing work OK but are a bit flaky. Can't get sound to come through on the phone app and it seems others have the same issue.
On balance, so far I am happy with the purchase and considering adding additional cameras to the system.
