I have purchased Swann Smart Security System 2K Series - 1080p, SWDVK-844804V which has 4 cameras, plus I purhased 2 dome cameras. Is your Swann Outdoor HD 1080p True Detect CCTV Camera (Twin Pack) compatable with this system. It is an 8 channel system? Thank you.

Providing the the system you have has a Swann DVR suitable for HD1080 resolution and you have sufficient channels available, the cameras should be compatible.
I brought a DVR8-4575 true detect thermal sensing 4 camera kit of yourselves a few weeks back but I want to add some extra camera's and just wondering if the 3mp true detect dome camera's would be compatible with the kit.
I want to use this in conjunction with a burglar alarm system, does the CCTV system always record once triggered by its own motion or heat sensors OR can it also be triggered to record from an external input such as from my burglar alarm after its being triggered?
Can it interface with a home burglar alarm system at all?

If set to motion detection the CCTV Cameras will automatically start to record once movement has been detected. The CCTV cannot be linked to the alarm system where one would trigger the other, they will be 2 separate systems.
