sceh 0 Posted October 20, 2017 Sorry for the provocative title! I have a couple of Swann systems and they do what I want when they work - send me mails with photos, notion detection and so on. One system is pretty unreliable and regularly loses configuration so I want to replace it. I have see many systems from companies in CHina which cost less than a quarter of the price of Swann systems - albeit without discs usually and the ability to add USB or SATA. Seems to be too good to be true! Quanmin, Sannce, Floureon come to mind. Am I missing something? I would guess these systems are pretty reliable and good quality but would anyone recommend one? thanks. It would be a replacement of the analogue 4 channel Swann DVR04B with either a 4 or 8 channel. Any advice gratefully received. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sceh 0 Posted October 20, 2017 Actually, whilst I am at it, perhaps I could aks if anyone has had the same problem I have with Swann (DVR08B and 04B) I set the network to a static address and one of the systems will change it to PPPOE after 10 minutes - with rubbish in the password and ID fields. If I tr to use PPPOE and enter the right details, it also changes itself to rubbish after ten minutes. My other system is alo static but I noticed that it had changed to DHCP all by itself too - though it still works. Aver seen this? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
