Not as I expected
Purchased this system hoping to significantly reduce false alarms because it has PIR, but it is not. Leaves blown by wind, Sun comes out of the cloud would cause alarms. On foggy or rainy nights, water droplets would cause endless alarms (change to color mode instead of night-vision would reduce the alarms but darker video). It also throws false human/vehicle alarms (no human in field of view and my car in the driveway was stationary). Can only send videos to Dropbox on two cameras, pictures only for other camera. Also, basic analytics features such as PID, LCD, etc. are not available in this newer model. If I knew it I would purchase an older model. 4K videos are great and clear.

Repeat Satisfied Customer
This is the fourth system that we have purchased and installed for various applications: home, vacation home, office and rental. All our systems have worked as advertised, were easy to install and have been of good quality. The times that I have had to reach out for support the problem was resolved quickly.

Quality Quality Quality
This system does it all ,I can adjust each camera to cover any kind of security needed for any area. Quality metal camera's not cheap plastic.I researched every brand of security system out there before buying this one. There are cheaper price one's but there not real security systems. This is a real professional system.

Average Security System
I purchased this security system couple of weeks ago and installed it at my house. Installation set up is very easy. I was expecting to get a decent system with high standard of accessories but I was disappointed with the standard of low quality data cables provided with the system. And cameras have nerrow angle view, I was expecting to get wide angle view this price tag. The voice system is also very noisy especially in there is wind blowing one can hardly hear any other noise. My overall rating is average on this system.

There are better more user friendly systems out there
The cameras are quality definition but that's about all this system has going for it.
Hardware instillation is difficult and cumbersome with no thought to setup design. Screws are in difficult to access places on the cameras and the screws themselves are cheap S.steel. The instruction manuals are basic with limited information.
The software set up is nothing better. No wifi connection and can only be hard wired to a TV or Monitor which is ridiculous for today. Logging in is cumbersome with a cheap mouse and on screen keyboard to click away letter by letter logins, passwords and set up. Changing the password requires a download and is not convenient at all. The app is not synced and connected to the device and requires it's own password. The how to videos are all over the place with no order to help with instillation.
A very complicated system and is more designed for professionals as there is too much unique identifiers and processes for the home user. It feels like a system from the 90's that hasn't updated with technological advances.

Nice Features and Good Video Quality; but a bit buggy software!
Overall I am impressed by camera quality, the image quality, and the abundance of features in the Version 8 software. I think the analytics work well once you get the setup correctly, especially the more advanced ones. I definitely would buy it again and I am happy with my purchase. I think these are very competitive with other security systems when you take everything into account, especially for the value (4K, spotlights, analytics, PIR, the customization for notifications, recording etc. etc. ).
I have been running for about two or three weeks now and it appears to be reliable and now that I have my analytics set up well there are very few false positives (a bird crossing at the same time a car drives by and causes the PIR to go off) and no false negatives (someone there and it not picking them up); I have tried myself, had my wife and daughter try many times to verify. I also suggest you do the same to get it dialed in. I only have seven camera's up and I can see 360 degrees around the house with no issues or blind spots. Still deciding where or if I want to put up the eight camera.
Now some cons (the reason this isn't 5/5) I think the PIR and motion combo does cut down on my nuisance alarms but it definitely is not flawless depending ambient conditions. Shiny objects such as bbq grills and cars (things people might steal) reflect enough passive infrared from the sun to trick it. Especially when things warm up in the late morning. So I had to go to analytics for my push notifications; you still can get bombarded with false positives otherwise.
And I think my biggest complaint is the bugginess/reliability of the phone app and the NVR software. I had to do a manual update of my NVR to get all the analytics up to date, it kept telling me I was all up to date. Which for sure wasn't true and this is where a lot of new options and features come in (like PIR and motion). Unfortunately this resulted in other problems since I had already been setting up somethings using version 7 and had to wipe it clean after upgrading due to some features not working correctly. This of course is told in hindsight and all told maybe 4-5 manhours down the toilet between wrong versions of the firmware and the multiple setups, frustration that the scheduling and other features didn't appear to work at all on version 8 and then my time with the chat support (which actually was a good experience).
The phone app(s), which I don't understand why there is more than one option, also have a lot of features but I don't think it has opened and stayed open reliably since I downloaded it. It constantly crashes on start up.
And I don't think it matters what wire security system (Swann, Lorex, etc.) you get but it takes about an hour to two per camera to install them properly and get all the fished and installed properly (bracing with 2x4s, hole drilling, filling gaps, aligning the image, fishing the Ethernet cable through walls, which it was nice it was only one cable, etc.) I am not a certified electrician but my time seemed in line with other reviews. So I would plan on a full weekend maybe two depending on how complicated your install is. I would also recommend spending some time planning out where you want all the cameras and the box itself.
Hopefully this helps Swann and others make some informed decisions.

Great Product - Great Features!
Have had this system installed for just over two weeks - and whilst it worked great out of the box did need to tweak individual camera settings for optimal performance. Living on a busy street did find motion and no PIR/IR setting beneficial for the front cameras and face detection works best for those cameras where the person is looking as directly to the camera as possible - so best used in narrow areas where (at some point) they have to look directly forward into the camera.
As for heat-detection this seems to be a bit off for my install (again, could be due to external factors) - but prefer an "alert over nothing" than no alert at all.
Initially was receiving a trillion alerts to my phone (which gets old very fast); so be aware you will need to tweak and tweak and then tweak some more to get each camera set up to perform at its optimal. This includes both physical tweaks (i.e. move camera up/down/right/left etc.) and software configuration changes.
Am in the IT industry and have seen many security cameras / systems - this one is pretty feature-packed for the price-point. The configuration screens aren't too bad either; everything is rather simple and logical, though did refer to the instruction booklet many times (well done on that too!).
Have fun with it - don't make too many adjustments at once and see what works best for your installation. Be patient & use logic. Most of all, have fun with it! :)
