Swann 9 Channel DVR and Multiplexer

[loopedagain 0]

Anybody know anything about this unit?

Specifically, with 9 cameras will the picture be jumpy at this recording speed?

 

Thanks, Robert.

this is the manufacturer ..

 

It is multiplexed so yes, it will be a multiplexed (jumpy) recording.

Its 25pps / 9 = 2.7 ... pps per camera - Real Time is 30pps.

 

But its good for the price. If you want real time or close to real time, you will be spending much more $$ ... Its a low end product, good for those home or budget retail installs.

 

this is the one im using for those jobs, its not much more..

I got it at Fry's on sale and with a 250 gig drive I have about $800.00 in it.

250GB brought the price up, but still thats a retail price. They bought it from Swan, who bought it from elsewhere and labeled it with their name. Hence all the markups.

 

Also, the higher end 9 or 10 channel DVRs retail for much more than that.

Well, I hooked one camera up for a test and with the 9 little boxes on, there is no hesitation or freezing. I guess when all cameras are hooked up that might be different? Thanks in advance.

Yes, it divides the 25pps among the amount of cameras connected.

FYI - I believe the one you found at Fry's is the non-networkable model, which is usually priced about $150-$200 less than the network models (like the AVC-776W that Rory linked).

Tryed there product and did not like it at all. First it was to expensive for the quality, and second not networkable.
