I forgot until now to finish the critique! I honestly could go on, but do not have the time at the moment, just after I set up the remote network access I will finish the evaluation. The Defender nevertheless records whilst you are in playback mode! The Swann stops recording in playback mode :( Then the florescent bulb in the hall would go out and be replaced, I would have to set it up all more than once more.) (Literally, not set correct - the motion would go off every single ten seconds - in a hall with no windows. The Defenders Motion detector goes off ONLY WHEN THERE IS MOTION! On the Swann I had to regularly tweak the brightness and contrast to maintain the motion detector from going off each ten seconds typically. ![]() On the Swann, quite often you would only see somebody just after they had been leaving the frame, you would see a shoulder, but no way to determine the individual, even although they had walked down the hall 15 feet straight towards the camera! When you playback occasionally there will be no motion for a second (and you may well consider the motion detector was set off by mistake), then a person will suddenly enter the frame - so as I mentioned, it must have some kind of pre-roll function built in. The motion detector really Functions on the Defender. On the Defender, you can set them every single individually. On the Swann, you have not selection - how you set 1 is how they are all set. For Each and every camera you can set it to record all the time, motion, or not at all. The record possibilities are Significantly Considerably far better. You can check only 1 camera at a time, instead of having to assessment each single camera. The search is A lot better on the Defender. honestly the the Swann was a piece of garbage. And even then you may possibly be quickly forwarding a 2x speed, hit pause and have the speed go to 3x, hit quit and the speed would go up to 4x. On the Swann you had to hold the remote about a foot away from the DVR. the remote on this one particular in fact operates. You have cursor on the screen icons, which is definitely, fantastic. This DVR comes with a mouse! So employing the method is much like applying a laptop. Even on the the Swann's highest setting the playback looked like garbage. The reside feed and the playback look the very same in fact, you can't even tell it's a recording. This is due to the fact the compression process implemented should me A lot Superior. The playback sharpness is A lot SHARPER on this DVR. Which seemed strange considering that it has the identical cameras. I was fairly surprised to to see the picture was sharper than the Swann on my monitor. ![]() But in every other way this DVR is superior than the Swann. ![]() I have not set up the online access however, so I will update my evaluation when I do that. I have had this DVR about a month now and I'm blown away by how considerably greater it is. And I'm so happy it did (read my review on the Swann DVR) The Swann DVR I had just died following nearly 2 years. I'll write a longer overview when I have time.
