Swann DVR4-2550 4 Channel Digital Video Recorder with Smartphone Viewing (SWDVR-42550H)

. . . from a thousand miles away!

The system works nicely and exactly as promised. The (free) SwannView app runs on iPhone with very little fuss, and provides good (though admittedly not perfect) views on a 3G network. On an iPad the image leaves a lot to be desired Swann should really do an iPad version but it most definitely gets the job done. If it were a lot more expensive I might not be as complimentary, but for the price it's a marvel.

The really great thing is the ability to aim your pan/tilt/zoom cameras over the internet! Seamlessly compatible with the SWANN SW331-PR6 PTZ Outdoor Dome Camera, and no harder to set up than . . . well, it wasn't that easy to set up, but if you know anything about port forwarding and DHCP I guess it's a breeze. Tech support, on the other hand, is very helpful.

Great product for the price. They are a bit misleading about how easy it is to establish an internet connection for your smartphone. Many factors with your ISP may make it difficult or even expensive to set up the static IP needed for smartphone viewing.

I would buy something else if I had to do it over.

If the DVR had power for each camera that would help reduce all of the cables and power supplies.

This DVR does not have that.
