Excellent job locoboof! I have this same unit but ALL my 4 cameras are 2-way audio - even better. I would definitely recommend to anyone who has this system to make sure you get 2-way audio cameras. If you don't have the 2-way audio camera I really recommend you upgrade all your cameras!Here's a true story I had with these 2-way audio cameras: I was in Italy on my mobile phone talking about a delivery package to the postman whose was at my front door area of my house in Massachusetts - now that's why having a 2-way audio is great! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

3 questions, 1. Just in case 60 feet is not long enough, can we use a 100 foot ethernt cord for each camera, if yes, how much longer can we go before the camera does not work? 150 feet? 200feet? Can you show us some links for the exact model we need? One cord connects the cameras to the NVR. The other cord connects the NVR to our router. Are the cords the same model or different? If different, please post some links on amazon, etc since we need way longer cords for both connections. -------------------------------------------------- 2. Can you double-check which Swann camera is the latest 4K 8mp. It looks like the one without the extra bubble on the front is more expensive at Sears. Some places are selling the camera without the bubble fore more money so we're not sure which one is the latest? Has bubble at 6 oclock www.sears.com/swann-swnhd-885msb-us-swannone-swnhd-885msb-us/p-A019998353?plpSellerId=MyGoods&prdNo=48&blockNo=48&blockType=G48 Item # A019998353 Model # SWNHD885MSBUS ----------- No bubble at 6 0clock www.sears.com/swann-swnhd-885msb-us-swannone-swnhd-885msb-us/p-A019998353?plpSellerId=MyGoods&prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1 Item # A020037538 Model # P2123188 -------------------------------------------------- 3. Is this your latest Swann 4K 8mp security camera and NVR system with audio? It has the bubble on the camera. www.swann.com/us/swnvk-1685808 We're not sure to wait a bit longer for the next latest model when it comes out or grab this one, what's your advice?

The one with the extra “bubble” as you put it is the newest one. The same one as in this video. This system comes with audio. I’m not sure how long of a ethernet cord you can use, but I’ve used 100ft and it works just fine. Buy any cat5 or cat5e (Ethernet) cable and you’re fine. Anyone you find on amazon or any other store will work. It’s just a regular Ethernet cable.

Nice Video. I had a Arlo Pro 2 for 3 weeks, the Activity zones failed to work, and although like this system it has both pixel detection and PIR can you get full control as to not get false triggers 3am when a fly goes past the camera, a cat is within a zone, or lights front cars driving by is detected a motion. I have all this under control within Blue Iris and do wonder is this is a good alternative solution? What helped with false triggers with Blue Iris was to determine a min and max size of a object, and how long it should move before a notification is sent, and as you showed cross zones. Dan

My experience with Swann so far: Received my first unit from them. Good thing I hooked it up first before installing it, because the NVR didn't work out of the box. I tried with and without cameras connected. Called once, got no answer, hung up after 15 minutes. Second time calling, I got through. Their first advice was for me to hook it up to an HDMI TV. So I did. Still didn't work, so I called back. This time they blamed my house power and told me to test the voltage and amperage. Like seriously? I don't have that testing equipment on hand so I'm trying other devices with a watt meter. Seems to be fine to me. Going to call them back, but so far this ranks among the worst customer support experiences, and I've had some bad ones.

Awesome review, thank you for that. I have owned this system for a couple of months now, still to really fine tune it for my needs, so I have learned so much about it from your review, I wasn't even aware it had a zoom function. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. 1- I need to increase the IR night flood distance and angle to cover 90 degree, I have been looking for suitable IR flood lamps at 850nm, however I was wondering if 940nm wavelength IR lamps would work with the NHD-885MSB 4K Bullet Cameras. 2- Can you tell what the second split cable is for, one is the IP connection but the other looks like an analogue or power connection. Again thank you for your time and I'm sorry I'm having such a hard time getting this info, the Swann Q&A sites are down.

I’m no professional installer, but inside the pipes (conduit) with a junction box is the best way. It will protect your cables from everything. That’s how a professional would do it. I have seen people tuck them under siding, roofs and in gutters. It will still work tucking under the siding. Installation are expensive, I agree. Home Depot has everything you need. Tell them you need tell them the project you’re working on and how long of a distance it is and they’ll be happy to guide you.

Great video thank you ! I bought a SWANN 4K camera ( single camera ) last year from Costco, and it shoots at 20 fps. For somebody walking, it's fine, but any car driving by, it's pretty blurry. I wonder if these cameras are now working at 30 fps.... do you know ? or anyone else ? I was on Lorex's site and their 4K cameras are only running at 15 fps, which is really disappointing. Anyway if these new 4K cams are only running at 20fps, they are blurry with any type of fast moment. ** it is so hard finding any info on fps ( frames per second ) on any of their website pages.

Installed mine and none of the cameras show in my device list. I used CAT5E that I had the builder pre wire when the home was build. Any ideas?

A quick way to test? Connect one of your cams directly to the system using the swann CAT5 cables provided. Don’t mount it, just plug it in and hold it in your hand. See if it works. If so, then you know it’s the builder wiring.

Which password? To unlock the system or your email password? Also, if using gmail did you click the option to allows less secure access? It’s in Gmail.

That seems odd..... I just connected the cameras just as you see in the video. I think I double checked to see the output resolution and made sure it was 4K. That’s it. How long have you had the system? You’re using a 4K hdmi cable and 4K tv? If you just got the system I’d buy another and exchange it if you’re sure you did everything correctly. Worst case call customer service.

No issues thus far. It’s really a great system. If it’s in your budget, get the set with the spotlight cameras.

You’d need to find a PTZ compatible with this system. At this moment I don’t know which one that is.

Great video, helping me in my decision on what system to purchase. 1. Can you please tell me how much bandwidth is required to run (8) 4K cameras on this system. 2. Can you view all camera views simultaneously. 3. Do you know if you can extend the warranty period past the 18 months? Thanks,
@locoboof

I’m not sure how much bandwidth it requires. I’d assume the more you have the better. Yes I’m not sure if you could extend it past 18 with Swann. You can ask them. Worst case, the store you buy it from probably offers a extended warranty

Why do the NHD 865 MSB cameras have a power supply. There are two wires on each camera, one has the connector to the ethernet cable, they also have a power supply cable. As far as I can find out the power supply is not required so why is it there.

Does this one come with Google assistance support? I saw a video elsewhere offering this. Awesome video, I even saw parts of your video on the official swann website. Great attention to detail. Who needs a manual when they can watch your video?

I read several complaints about other systems that do not allow playback to be fast forward so you can speed up to view a specific segment that you are interested in. How is the playback of the SWANN 4K system? I'm looking at Reolink, a new 4K is coming. Thanks, this is a great video.

Thanks for your review, I opted for the 5mp version of this system. It has the same 8580 NVR but uses the 865MSB cameras. Same True Detect PIR with audio.... very nice system. Crystal clear image though not as clear at full zoom as the 4K system. I’m curious about the HD and the SD settings. If I try to have all 4 cameras in HD it will drop 1 of them and display “ not enough resources “. The NVR is designed to handle 8 cameras at 4K and I’m only running 4 at 5mp... what setting do I adjust to correct this?

Notifications are free. Viewing your cameras away from home on your smartphone is free. Everything gets recorded locally on the NVR itself. There’s is a option to pay for cloud storage if you like.

So , I bought this system BECAUSE of this video...ive been trying to get some help with it with Swann Tech support and what a disaster...try reaching anyone in the US is IMPOSSIBLE.....I would love to be able to talk with you about it over the phone if that's possible, but I understand if you don't want to do that, I don't blame you, but if you have someone in the US with swann that's helpful and knowledgably I have a few things id like help with.....you btw did an awesome video explaining things..

Well, I don’t work for swann, but I do feel bad if you’re having a issue. Any time I had an issue I call their customer service. They were great the one time I called. My system has been flawless so far. Can you call them again? Maybe you’ll get a different tech specialist?
