Swann Professional NVR Security Camera Recorder with 2TB HDD, 16 Channels, 4K Ultra HD Video & Smart Video Analytics, 168580H

This was to replace the old system that failed after yrs of use few nighles at the start but works fine now

Swann CCTV 8 Channel 2TB HDD 4K Ultra HD- New shape.Was able to setup from the limited instruction leaflets included to make sure it all worked before installing. But now I’m having to rethink the whole install. The fan noise is needlessly excessive. Poor housing design that blocks most of the fan, which I’m surprised got signed off by quality control. (See picture) It was going in small bedroom/study, but the fan noise is stopping that plan. Then I thought maybe in lounge by tv and router. But again it’s too loud IMO. So now I’m really trying to figure out cable runs to somewhere the noise won’t be a problem. Looking online there are DIY mods you can do to reduce noise, but will invalidate warranty.If you are going to put this in noisy environment, it’ll be ok. If you like peace and quiet, I’d seriously think about it’s suitability and location. I’d give it 3 stars.Update- After two weeks I’d had enough fan noise and returned new shape NVR-8780 and got the old shape, 8 channel NVR-8580, which is FAN LESS and QUIET. Even though it was more expensive, I’m glad I changed it. I’d give 5 star for the old shape.Both the new shape and old 4K NVR have same operating software. It’s the 4K camera model that you use with the NVR that unlock/lock specific Video Analytic features.

After only 7 months in use it stopped working and after sales have refused to replace it! After initial contact I have had no replies to my many emails of complaint.DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!
