Introduction
The Swann DVR4 Alert is a 4 channel Digital Video Recorder which has many
advanced features which allow you to record footage from up to 4 security
cameras to a hard drive for later playback.
This DVR offers an affordable recording and monitoring solution for your home or
business. Simply connect your cameras and start your surveillance setup. The
DVR is ideal for usage in your home to watch over your premises and valuables
and in your business to monitor customers, your parking lot, staff and lobby area.
Having no tapes to maintain, replace or rewind means this recorder can be setup
once and virtually forgotten about until and unless a review of the video becomes
necessary. It also dramatically reduces the down time for maintenance or repair
that is generally associated with VCRs.
You should position your cameras to cover the areas most
exposed to risk. See our suggestions below for some ideas:
Direct exposure to the effects of the weather will void the
warranty of cameras not intended for outdoor use.
1. Doorways
2. Windows
3. Car Parks
4. Verandahs
