Prosumer smart camera user interfaces are typically more complex than entry-level systems and Swann’s is no exception. The Swann NVR boots reasonably quick and automatically detects 4K displays, switching screen resolution as required. Twin front-mounted USB ports are supplied to connect a mouse (also provided) and optional USB drive for video backup or firmware updates.

With your cameras installed, connect the compact set-top box to your router, a power outlet, and a TV or monitor using the supplied HDMI cable and you’re good to go. With eight Ethernet ports available, there’s also plenty of room for expansion. Cables from all six cameras neatly terminate at the NVR, with no need for separate power supplies. Swann’s wired setup is much tidier than the Defender 4K system we recently reviewed. Compared to older systems, which are equipped with separate power and data connectors, we’re pleased to see Swann offer the simplicity of a power over Ethernet option, but if you’re seeking a quick and easy installation, a wired system is not for you. One possible drawback is that Swann’s cameras are wired, which means you’ll need to carefully plan installation points, run wires through walls, and experience all the joys of managing the six supplied 60-foot cables. The contrasting white-and-black cylindrical devices are noticeable enough to provide a deterrent for potential intruders while retaining a sleek, contemporary style. Where budget systems favor cheap, plastic casings, Swann’s compact cameras are clad in aluminium, with an IP66 weatherproof rating guaranteeing they’re fit for indoor or outdoor use.

A standard night vision setting on all cameras extends the range up to 150 feet. Two of the cameras are further boosted with integrated security spotlights, supporting color night vision with a 115-foot range. All six are equipped with integrated PIR sensors that are triggered by motion or heat detected at a range of up to 32 feet (10 meters). Alongside pin-sharp clarity, Swann’s swanky cameras are kitted-out with enhanced features that elevate them above their peers. The cameras are the real stars of the show. A 2 TB stand-alone network video recorder (NVR) sits at its heart, offering generous local storage capacity for 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) video recordings and avoiding the cloud subscription fees we typically encounter with smart home security kits. The $899 Swann 4K Ultra HD NVR Security System is a premium, 6-camera setup packed with features. But the 4K Ultra HD NVR Security System sees the company return to its roots with a pricey, powerful, and ultra-modern take on prosumer multicamera setups of the past. It’s dabbled in low-cost, high-performance devices - last year’s $150 Swann Smart Security Camera proved itself to be a capable and versatile alternative to Arlo.

We’ve also seen new smart home brands like Nest, Ring, and Arlo pop up with bold ambitions, big promises, and massive marketing budgets, as well as a $ 20 1080p HD smart camer a that doesn’t suck.Ī 30-year veteran of smart home security, Swann has likely viewed the recent explosion in competition with a wry smile.
features like auto-tracking, auto-zoom and facial recognition became prevalent. Clunky, monochrome closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems with fuzzy imaging have been abandoned in favor of sleek, sexy new cameras boasting super-sharp imaging, app control, motion detection, and night vision.
Over the last few years, the home security market has experienced a revolution.
