Can a WiFi antenna be plugged into the DVR so I wouldn't need the Ethernet cable to be connected to a router for the mobile app?
Adam, Liverpool
Unfortunately a WiFi antenna would not be compatible. The DVR needs to be connected to a router via the Ethernet cable.

Can I setup to record at certain dates/time from the app rather than just by motion?
Georgina, London
This Swann DVR4-4550 CCTV system can be programmed to record continuously, at a set time/date or only when motion is detected. However, this cannot be done by App. These features are only accessible in the DVR options menu when connected to a TV or monitor.

Has the unit got auto delete, if so how long does the unit keep footage?
Paul green, Sevenoaks
The system will continuously record for approximately 30 days with the camera set on the optimum resolution settings. It is possible to record only when motion is detected, which will give you more time. When the storage capacity is met it will automatically overwrite the earliest recorded data.
