This is a bad buy in my opinion. I live in South Africa. Bought a Swann dvr with 4 channels and two cameras. Installed it and all worked well - for about a month. Then both cameras became disfunctional. They showed only black and white and the IR was crippled at night. Image flickered as well. I contacted Swann and after taking me for a little e-mail dance they agreed the cameras are defective but sorry, seeing that I am outside the USA the guarantee is worth nothing. Cheers.
I went to a local Chinese mall and found better cameras at half the price.
The conclusion is obvious - to install a affordable system at home, stay away from Swann.
