Record each camera in 4K (8MP) 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.
QuickShot lets you 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 2TB 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, 2TB hard drive, 4K 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.

Max Recording Time: {{ getTotalDays(cameras.slice(0, 4), res, '2TB') | roundWhole }} days* {{ getTotalDays(cameras.slice(0, 4), res, '2TB', 24) | roundWhole }} days* |
I've been experimenting with CCTV for a while and following a bad experience with some cheap nameless brand I started to look for a setup that I could view remotely and be confident of the quality of the capture. I picked up 2 Nest IQs and tried them for a couple of weeks. The quality of the picture was not great and zooming in was a waste of time. If I was going to the effort of having cameras it made sense to have a decent picture. Picked these up for about the price of the 2 other ones and got twice as many cameras without an ongoing subscription.
The setup is simple, pretty much plug and play. The quality of the picture is brilliant in daylight and not too shabby when the lights go out either.
The single star lost was for the app on which you can remotely view the cameras. Bit of a faff to get going, still not receiving push alerts, but not a major problem. If it were I should go and RTFM.
Remote viewing works fine using the PC app too.
I'd certainly buy these again and with 4 channels left I may well invest in a few extra cameras. Great job by Swann.

Hi
This is a brilliant system, easy to set up, picture quality is amazing especially if you are viewing on a 4K t.v. or monitor, and very good value for money.
I did have a camera go over exposed on night vision, I contacted safe and the lady on the phone was very helpful and tried to sort it for me whilst I was on the phone but had no luck , she gave me swans number and I contacted them and they arranged a phone call at a time that suited me, and called me back.
I altered a setting whilst I was on the phone to them and that seems to have sorted the problem.
I was so pleased with the alround service, I told my brother and he saw the picture quality, he has now got the same system.
Very pleased customer.
Thanks

I am really happy with this product and would recommend it. I would consider myself a reasonably competent DIYer, and I had no problems installing the 4 cameras on each corner of the house and running the cables through the loft back to the box on the ground floor, plenty of length in the supplied cables to cover my 4 bed detached property. The set up instructions are reasonably simple to follow, but I would advise you definitely do read them first to get a full understanding of what the system can do. The picture quality is really good, even at night, and the ability to open an app on my phone to view the live feed from the 4 cameras is really useful.

Fantastic service and product. The camera footage is absolutely beautiful. The only issue is the Swann app itself the footage the app could be better but I have contacted Swann about that.

The DVR-5580 has been a great upgrade to my previous Swann system. Not only is it now high resolution that allows much better identification, both day and night, especially at night. The IR capability is great.
It is a very easy system to set up with the various masking capabilities and sensitivity settings in areas that are tricky to cover. The single power supply to four cameras is a great advantage as this minimise the sockets that are required in the installation.
The monitoring from either a local screen or via the internet on a multitude of devices is a major asset together with whatever alert system you wish to use. Overall a great system to give you added monitored security of your home or small business.
