Just was looking for a random deal @ the good guys came across this deal Swann 1TB Full-HD DVR 4 Camera CCTV System 4601270 currently advertised for $299 @ The good guys ..got preety decent reviews by the looks of it ..currently selling at J.B Hi-fi for $423. Combine with suncorp(other gift cards) to get additional discount . Costed me $281 after discount so sounded like a nice deal to me . I know it’s not everyone cup of tea and I am aware of all those wireless cameras around ..but I prefer the corded one as it saves hassle of charging the battery and more reliable .

      Nope… BNC/power cable

    Same price at Bunnings? https://www.bunnings.com.au/swann-4-camera-4-channel-1080p-f…

    • caviar on 16/07/2020 - 19:27

    I'm clueless about security systems. How would you install this? Like what other equipment do you need (I'm assuming a hard drive for storage, Internet connection, drill to attach it to the wall, etc)?

    • 0zyt0zy on 16/07/2020 - 20:30
      -3

      an electrician is needed to install this as it involves wiring through the walls.

      • OzBoganYeah on 16/07/2020 - 23:02

        Really?

        • johndoh89 on 17/07/2020 - 13:46

          Legally yes.

          We have pretty strict laws around cabling (data and power) inside walls.

      If you are a little handy you can do it yourself.

      Drill
      Internet connection
      Storage is already on the DVR
      Little bit of technical knowledge with the router so that you can use an app to view remotely
      Also I don't know the name but there is something you can buy at Bunnings to get the cables through the wall cavity.
      Lastly patience!

      • OzBoganYeah on 16/07/2020 - 23:03

        Appreciate the reply but I'm no handy at all and have no knowledge about wiring, etc. Might have to skip this.

    If you want a simple installation wifi camera for $77 with 4MP (2K) quality, I highly recommend Reolink 410w. Bought it the other day and very impressed with the quality. Just need a power outlet to power the camera and it will connect to your wifi. I installed 64GB to record motion detection and it records 24/7 to my NAS through FTP or Synology surveillance app. It also integrates with Google Home.

    • OzBoganYeah on 16/07/2020 - 23:05

      Do you need to do any wiring and how does it charge?

      • wtfnodeal on 16/07/2020 - 23:18

        "Just need a power outlet to power the camera"

      • johnyBgood on 16/07/2020 - 23:54

        This is not battery powered, you need to have power outlet for the camera, but no need to use ethernet cable as it has dual band wifi. If you need battery powered, look for the Reolink Eco or Argus 2
        model with solar panel which will cost around $127~$172, but this does not give you the option to record continuously.

    I've never had much luck with cheap Swann kits, work fine for the first couple of years but go down hill quick.
    Support is usually next to no help and have found the software is junk on the DVRs (no clue about NVRs)
    Have started buying Annke kits for less than this and have had no problems (so far!)

    • wtfnodeal on 17/07/2020 - 19:01

      My Swann NVR set died after 13 months of use. $800 plus $300 installation down the drain.

      • lachhelix on 17/07/2020 - 19:38

        Bugger, by the sounds of it NVRs are just as bad!

  • Retchey on 18/07/2020 - 21:10

    Really easy to install , basic tools , yellow tounge , and some patience, much easier with two people
