Swannview Plus Win Zip Download For Windows
Simone Whitmeyer
I have the NVR hardwired to my internet router and I want to be able to review and save files and playback NVR recorded files on my Desktop windows 8.1 computer. When I go to set up the Swann software it tells me that it does not support 64 Bit operating systems.
I have more to add. I called Swann Technical Support. Wait time around 5 minutes. The Swann View Plus does in fact work with Windows 8.1 for local viewing and playback and recording of previous camera footage of all 8 each 3 MP cameras on my desktop PC. I could care less about smart phone viewing. My problem was I am a dummy and was not using the Swann View Plus software correctly. Currently I have the 8 camera system going to a dedicated 32 inch TV for viewing. I have the CAT 5 from NVR to my AT&T router. I am able to monitor all 8 cameras, search, and record previous recorded images and video from the desktop PC. No issues with Windows 8.1 and accessing and manipulating the Swann NVR/POE device. It came with a 2 TB WD Purple Drive. I added an additional 3 TB WD Purple and now have a 5 TB system. All recorded images are going direct to NVR and not the desktop PC. Bottom line. I Super happy with the Tech Support and overall functionality of the system.
Frankly the installer should have done all this for you for that price. Well done on recognising that installation is not simply slapping a few wires in. I am pleased to hear your system has been a success you approached it in the right way so you deserve to enjoy your system well done.
I disagree, the customer bought his own system...around here you will not find an installed to run cable for 8 cameras + an electrical outlet (and it looks like he mounted the cameras as well) for less than 600. The aiming of the cameras needs some adjustment though to avoid some walls and ceiling..
Your right Boogieman. The 2 man team did all that plus aiming the cameras and coming back to each to fine tune the view of each cameras. It was a team of 2 men and just the attic work alone scared me off from attempting the job. I just envisioned myself crashing thru the ceiling dry wall and landing hard in the living room floor.
The installer guys were electricians and were doing some work on the side. They got here around 9 am and were out by 330 PM. They had done many systems in the past and I will give them 2 thumbs up. Actually I was incorrect and came back to the forum only to correct myself.
The guys charged me an additional $75 for the 2 new 110 volt outlets. I forgot the other one he installed due to multiple beers fogged my memory. The other 110 Volt he installed for the TV. $675 for install which included 8 cameras, running HDMI from NVR to TV (I mounted TV on the wall), cat5 from NVR to AT&T Router, 2 Each 110 Volt outlets which one for dedicated 32" TV and one for NVR. I bought / furnished all parts and the $675 was for labor only. I think I got a great deal on the labor. Those guys worked their A@@es off especially the attic man.
I had somebody contact me and asked about resolution. I went with default on the camera set up. Currently they system came with a 2 TB HD the Bios recognizes 1863 GB I added a 3TB and the bios recognizes the drive as 2793 GB for a total of 4657 GB.
Can anybody shed any insight on what resolution would be best? I know the JPEG I posted is not real clear above but it shows the default view. I have never had a camera system but I am real happy with the clarity.
Thanks I will reset the cameras, format the drives, and report back with camera usage. I'll try and grab a screen shot also. That was default value that the set up wizard projected..I just went with the wizard.
