My Swann NVR died due to an electrical storm. Assuming the 10 poe 1080 cameras are okay. I don't want to replace these. Don't know if there is a way to test them, without a NVR. I would like to add 3-4 cameras at the driveway gate and shed, which is 500-600 feet away. I can bury cables if I need too. What do I need to buy? I am willing to spend the money for a good system

Can I get some help here?

I want to locate 2-4 cameras at the driveway gate about 600' from the NVR in the house. I can trench in some underground CAT 5s in conduit to there, but what else do I need to do and get.

My NVR got smoked from a power surge. So I am looking to purchase a new one that can run my poe cameras and cameras 600' away. What should I get?

Slowly I am starting to get it. But from what I can find CVI is coax. I don't mind getting a different NVR or is it a DVR? as long as I can use my Swann cameras. I would also like better hardware as I have not been able to watch the system remotely.

I will have 120v power at the gate, where the cameras will be. Is there a device I can add at the end, for the additional power requirement?

I have a Swann NVR with 10 Swann cameras. Two cameras have been going offline then a few hours later, back on. What's up?

Is Costco going to quit carrying Swann? Their website only has one Swann item.

I bought a Swann ip system there, added two cameras. Plug and play, and could not have been easier. Focusing the vari-focus cameras was the hardest part, and that was no problem. My concern is that that when I want to expand Costco doesn't have the add on cameras.

I want to record all day with a couple cameras. But I can't find how, I know how to by motion detection or always on.

Now I get it. Thank you. How about changing the clock. I am in the Central time zone, it apparently is not automatic but when I change the time (can only be done at the NVR, as far as I can tell) I hit "apply" and the time does not change.

I still can't figure it out. I am using SwannViewPlus. From my computer; I pick "Camera Settings", then the little calendar "Schedule". Then there is templates with days and times, but I can't edit or find a way to use the template. From the NVR I can't find it either.

I have a Swann system. The cameras come with a pre made Cat 5 cables and loose connectors that look like they are for wet conditions. one end locks on the female connector on the camera pigtail, but the other end won't slide over the mail cat 5 end. How do I use them? They don't look like you can put them on after the ends are put on.

I got the following system from Costco, http://www.costco.com/Swann-16-Channel-HD-3MP-NVR-Security-System-with-3TB-HDD%2c-6-1080p-Cameras-and-2-Vari-Focal-Cameras.product.100070310.html I want to add a couple dome cameras to it. How compatiable are these? http://www.costco.com/Lorex-HD-1080p-IP-Night-Vision-Add-on-Dome-Cameras-2-Pack.product.100043750.html

Can the Swann 3mp vari-focus be wall mounted indoors?

Or I could get thesehttp://www.costco.com/Swann-HD-3MP-IP-Vari-Focal-Add-on-Dome-Camera.product.100089445.html but if they are like the bullet vary focus, they would be tougher to deal with, and more money

Update, in case anyone has the same issue. Called Swann, they gave me a link to a firmware upgrade that populated a UID into my system. Tried scanning the QR code to get access on my iPhone and still nothing. Turns out, back when I fist installed the system and was trying to get everything to work, I entered my laptop's MAC address into the "Users" field of the NVR. That made it so that only my laptop could access the system. Once I changed that MAC address back to all 0's (00:00:00:00:00), the iPhone app started working. Last week I installed my inlaws system and just used the UID to connect everything and I noticed when I access their system, it's much slower than when I access mine. Their system is using UPnP / UID setup while I did the whole port forwarding thing on mine. Accessing both systems remotely, my system is much faster when bringing up the client, switching cameras, etc.... I do have an issue, no UID was sent by email, blank. But maybe it is slower and I shouldn't use a UID, what do you think?

I just got my first system, the Swann from Costco, 16 channel, 6 bullet cameras plus two vari focus. I need a couple more cameras, for indoors, wide angle with sound. I think dome would be better, can't tell where they are aimed. Which ones?

What kind of mic? Those hikvision domes from Wrightwood are china version and 50 more than aliexpress. Are they the same? Are the cameras that came in this kit capable of sound?

I can't find a Swann ip dome other than the vari focus. What is the model number of one? Is the domes and bullets the same except for the housing? Can I use Hikvision with this system easily?

I just got this system. I need two more cameras. One of which needs to cover a good chunk of a 34'x34' room with a 17' ceiling. Should I get Swann? I would have to get them somewhere else. What type should I get for the big room, wide angle, PTZ? .

So I am about to order this from Costco, but I want three indoor dome cameras. One of which needs to cover a good chunk of a 34'x34' room with a 17' ceiling. Should I get Swann? I would have to get them somewhere else. What type should I get for the big room, wide angle, PTZ?

If I need a $230 extender or a PTZ will work without an extender, I might as well get a PTZ. right? How else can I power a PTZ? But even if I have to get 120v service to the gate 585' away, I could put the $230 towards the service.

If you can suggest a good place to get a system. I want a good IP, POe, IR system with 7-8 outdoor cameras, one I will have to have 600-700 of cable to get to the gate, and 3-4 indoor cameras. Common and fairly easy for a DIYer. Good night vision. How about these? http://www.costco.com/Swann-16-Channel-HD-NVR-Security-System-with-3TB-HDD%2c-6-1080p-Cameras-and-2-Vari-Focal-Cameras.product.100070310.html http://www.samsclub.com/sams/qsee-16x10-1080p-hd-sdi-cams/prod10800087.ip?navAction=push http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Q-See-16-Channel-Full-HD-SDI-Security-System-3TB-DVR-8-x-1080p-Cameras-/131006897770?pt=US_Surveillance_Security_Systems&hash=item1e809e9e6a

I want to put in the Cat5e in now for the 600' to gate, before the ground freezes. What kind of cable do I need to use? Conduit? How does the extender work?
