I was about 2 min away from smashing my cameras. I watched your video and figured it out. Thank you brother!

[@rosewood513]

Thanks so much. I didn't install this myself and didn't know the camera has it's own plug. Everything went down and I lost the video you just showed me what was wrong. I coudn't figure out where the extra adaptor came from. Got my video back thanks so much...

[@tammycath]

we cannot seem to get it connected to the app . Its saying failed to verify credentials,what would the problem be?

[@beckylawler5934]

Okay. For anyone having this issue, here's the solution.. tag the cameras and both ends of the corresponding cord. (Put a tag number on camera 1 and tag both ends of the cord you've assigned to it also with a #1.) I used tape. Next put an underline under the tag number at the end of the cord that will be plugged into the splitter near the DVR. This will be the red connector with a male end. After you tag all the cameras and both ends of all the cords it will help you for the initial set up and also for later if you should disconnect them and have to reconnect them. This is my second time to have this system. I made it easy this time. 👍

You have connected to all the DVR, I want to know where does the blue Ethernet port wire go from there? My router only has one connection point (blue) but does have the same connections in yellow. Can I use this instead seeing that I cannot remove the existing cable??? Thanks.

Hi. Great intro for Swann. I have an older version, was working then screen went black. 2 x screens with this message “input -d” … we had bought new cable but same msg on both screens. What do you think it could be?

I just got a swann system. Do you know if Vivint security system is compatible to this? Maybe use same wiring from Vivint cameras?

I know this is about another system but are these cables the same for a Swann 4k system and do you have to connect it to the internet ?

[@Itjungles]

You can use different cameras but they need to be compatible. There is a compatible list you can check it out. Just Google Swann camera compatibility and you will see it.

Hi there, great video. I have the exact same system. Unfortunately not a tech-guy so I'm running into a small problem. I heard that I cannot set any of the cameras up and watch footage in "live view." I was told I'm only able to play back the footage when I want to see it. But how about if somebody is knocking on my front door, and I want to view it "live" to see who's at my front door? Am I not able to do that? Also, in order to get the setup wizard for my system, I need to download the program on my computer correct? Hope to get an answer from someone. Much appreciated

If I turn on my dvr and everything seems to be fine but the swann load screen comes on then the input screen reads no signal then what could be the problem ??

that could be a power drop from your cameras buddy No Signal also check your BNC wiring & then your splitter cables buy a new splitter power pack

You dont need an internet connection. If the Wi-Fi connect to the same network it still works. Otherwise if your neighbors Wi-Fi has an internet connection it will works too.

[@mickcarson8504]

This is why I don't like some of Swann videos, because the uploaders are switching the comments off. So, they get a thumb down (dislike👎) and no way I will subscribe to these waste-of-time characters. What if I want to ask a question, a question such as why the on-screen keyboard is different to my Swann Professional Series NVR keyboard? So, I have to search for other Swann videos with open comments. Why they shut the comments on their video I am yet to find out. What are they afraid of. I mean, if they want to upload a video about a security system and then they switch comments off, why bother posting the video? No wonder I don't touch the 'Like'👍 thumbnail, more the dislike thumbnail when some video piss me off 😡👎

Do not buy Swann! Full of flaws. Full of blur problems and you need a magnifying glass to see the mouse cursor on the screen. Their customer support is a joke to, yougive them your phone number all the time and one still goes the repetative process of having totell them your model number etc etc etc. They have caused me alot of stress with their model DVR8-4780.

[@Itjungles]

You can change the screen resolution inside settings to make the picture bigger and you can see better. With blur issue have you check the cable connected properly.
