Thank you SO much, this was perfect!👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼. We just had an incident outside our home involving our neighbours & a stolen car. When I went to check the recordings only 1 of 4 cameras were actually working😮😞. With your valuable video I was easily able to fix. Your time is very appreciated.👍🏻😊
Perfect! just what I was looking for. The start up guide gives very little information of the functions or how to use anything.. This was very helpful. Thank you for this!
Thank you! We've got a NVR8-8580 and this video was perfect on fixing my problem with not recording. (Needed to switch to Normal/Continuous and make sure to highlight the days so those bits turned green.) All is well. Thank you!
Thank you for explaining this, mine didn’t have a owners manual. I unchecked all of the motion/detection (yellow boxes) and left the continuous recording (green boxes) on.
@@rakeshhubert3031 not sure but I have to change more settings as it uses up a ton of hard drive space because of too many screen captures a PIR. My other Night Owl had a one GB hard drive and could go back 2 weeks. This new one has a 2 GB but only saves a weeks worth of video.
@@South_0f_Heaven_ _I disabled all the PIR Motion Detection, it seemed to miss things? and just let it record everything on 'normal' with eight cameras and if needed can hopefully go back a few days. Swann needs to be more explicit in this important area of operation._
@@rakeshhubert3031 yeah they do but the software is so much better then the Night Owl DVR. You can set up specific areas of the camera coverage like a grid that will show movement in whatever area you wish to fine tune. The DVR is great but the camera quality is pretty bad for me. One camera was defective and another intermittently failed that required a hard reset but now that camera is totally dead.
We are trying to get footage of an incident and thought we had saved it all to a thumbrive. When looking back on the camera we saw two teens walking = but when we saved the footage to a thumbrive and looked back, it hasn't put that video footage on the thumb drive. Very annoying. It's only recording PIR (purple) and skipping to those bits that aren't black
I get a severe motion blur on one camera, it consists of many frames of a moving object. Moving cars moving are almost invisible..just a ghostly trail shows. Do you know how to fix this problem? Thanks much, very nice video😊.
I was wondering if anyone in the comments had any issues with there system (DVR8-4685). For some reason under record schedule there is no “Normal” option for me to select. My system is detecting motion put I preferably want it to record continuously. Can anyone help?
Hello your videos are very helpful. I have a query about the Overwrite function. I tried auto overwrite, nothing works. Do you have a solution for this?
You got any tips for nightvision settings. Thanks for great explanation of schedule. Swann not forthcoming when i emailed them. Downloaded Manual not great either.
anthony mcnamara , You got any tips for nightvision settings? in another video someone show me how to make color record anytime. Go to seting you can change record black or color if you want.
Hi, just found out that my camera just record motion up till 5:30 pm. I need to see what happen after that time, is there anyway I can access it? Maybe through cloud? If I change the setting to 'normal' will I need to free the data storage space every certain days? Thank you
Does anyone know the best way to add a back up battery power supply to this unit as often get power cuts and then cctv is not recording whilst power down.... any suggestions greatly appreciated
How do you delete all the videos which save onto your hard drive ? I can view and fast forward and pause etc etc but i cant find anywhere how i can delete stuff. Thanks
Hey, so I know I’m a bit late. But how do I set my camera to where it records all night? Not just with motion detection. I want it to record continuously. For some reason it’s only recording whenever it detects movements and it’s only in small intervals, which I don’t like. I just want a continuous recording. Thanks in advance! Edit to add; I did the same thing you did in the video, I have it on normal and chose my times I’d like it to record and it’s still only recording when motion is detected.
You have to do the same setup for every channel (Drop down) select normal and highlight the empty line above the yellow If your doing it right it will be a solid green..Make sure you APPLY on the bottom to save your settings
If you have the channels all set to Normal ( continuous recording) wouldnt that then mean you have no need for the yellow motion settings? so replace yellow with green and you're all set? why would you need both up recording at the same time?
Thanks for video but why does the normal fiction always switch back to motion after I've saved the change when I go out and come back into the menu again? So frustrating
Does anyone know why on my Swann I do not have the 'Normal' radio button, only the 'Motion' radio button. For capture I do have the both, but not on the record tab. This is weird!
Great video, my camera isn't detecting motion every time A car can drive by in the distance and it'll trigger, but someone could come though my front door and it'll miss it sometimes
These cameras have a 5 second delay after detecting motion before recording..they have to be in front of the camera atleast 5 seconds to see them...if they walk past it, it won't record it....factory set them to minimum 5 sec delay..can't change it
Hi so I'm having trouble with my camera it detects motion but doesn't record. How may I fix this? Any idea please. It's not recording anything. But live view works.
I have now set this to record 24/7 because of things being missed on the cameras with the PIR sensor etc, when my HDD gets full will it automatically overwrite and carry on recording?
I moved into a house with a swann system. It has stopped recording and says the HD is full. It was working where it would recycle and delete oldest footage to make room and record new footage. Any idea how I can fix this ?
First check to make sure it is still set to overwrite when drive is full and fix setting if need be. If it is still not working right, I would try formatting the drive .
Lov your videos ;-) But id like to know what you like best for security cams and best prices and with and without subscriptions adding links. also you know using sd cards have limits, but can you go over the limits....Tnks for asll you vids
I have lost network connection it sez WiFi disabled and connection not connected it is wired with a tp link plug and has been working fine for the last year but all of a sudden it has go off I have tried everything except from taking the battery out and using the reset pins
But what about having both??? I mean, why should you keep the yellow bar (motion) if you mark a green bar (continuous)??? It sounds contradictory having both... Ins't it??
Thanks for this video. I hope I just fixed my problem with mine. I’m new with the security camera system. I just did my last night and I’m trying to learn it. How about one to hear sound as well?
My system is showing date 18240/13/2020 and no matter what I do I cannot change it I have done a restore and a format of the disc the dist info is working but I have reset the date 4 times and it keeps reverting to the above so obviously not recording either.... HELP!!!!! any one
I accidentally click on shutdown, now I cannot switch back on the monitor as it keeps showing no video input on the screen. What can I do ? please help

Dude you don't know how clutch you are, because I've been trying to change my parents camera system from motion to normal since they first got it.
I've had my system for over a year now and swann website was no help at all! This video did it for me. Thanks!
Perfect! just what I was looking for. The start up guide gives very little information of the functions or how to use anything..

I brought a small 4k tv
I was wondering if anyone in the comments had any issues with there system (DVR8-4685). For some reason under record schedule there is no “Normal” option for me to select. My system is detecting motion put I preferably want it to record continuously. Can anyone help?

Hello your videos are very helpful. I have a query about the Overwrite function. I tried auto overwrite, nothing works. Do you have a solution for this?
Thank you, I have a doubt, how do you use the microphone to talk using the cameras?
Thank you.
Im only 14 so this was very helpful :)
Great, thanks!
Thanks heaps mate !!

Try googling it. Once you understand what stuff means it’s pretty straight forward 🤷♂️

thank you much better than the video that Swann has.
Thanks for this.
What’s difference between record schedule and capture schedule ?
Could be video and photo capture

My Swann enforcer system is not saving recordings before midnight. Do you know where I am going wrong in the settings.

I have a family member that has theese and his cameras records like 100mins at a time when he goes to check it on his phone. Will this help?
Does this system have to be plugged into your router? Can you not run this through wiki?
Great video, my camera isn't detecting motion every time

Can you please show or tell how to copy recorded video to USB ?
Does this system do loop recording?

Yes. It will "eat its own tail", as the saying goes.

Tengo el mismo
Problema ayuda
I have the 3 K series 5MP...but the notifications on my phone dosent work all the time...and everything is on
What does the Capture menu do? It seems similar to the Schedule menu.
Did you find out what the difference was between the record and capture feature?
Thanks!!!!!!
Legend
Brilliant

I keep changing to normal and saving . But once I close out the screen and click back in it switches back to motion ...what am I doing wrong ???
The same problem
Thanks！A！ Lot！

For this swann, I just need to adjust the sensitivity, how do I do this
Alarm > Sensitivity
Won't the setting in Normal take up your DVR hard drive space more quicker??
I guess it loop records eg fills up all 1tb then starts over and writes over from the start again. Just guessing.
How do you continue recording with motion?
My system is showing date 18240/13/2020 and no matter what I do I cannot change it I have done a restore and a format of the disc the dist info is working but I have reset the date 4 times and it keeps reverting to the above so obviously not recording either.... HELP!!!!! any one

How do you delete event ??
Can you give a demo on DVR 4480 for continuous recording?
Yes I will make a video for it
I accidentally click on shutdown, now I cannot switch back on the monitor as it keeps showing no video input on the screen. What can I do ? please help
Can u also stop a recording on a certain day? For instance no recording at all for friday?
Yes
And the day that you stop the recording for is the day you get your ass raided 🙂
