Hi Margaret. You can connect up to 8 MaxRanger cameras to one hub, and Swann sell additional cameras separately if you'd like to buy more. We also sell the kits with either 2, 3, or 4 cameras.-SD, Swann Team

Better than most.

Easy to install and set up. Solar battery works great. Longer range than any other system I have had. The only thing that I dont like is that it takes a minute or so for it to upload the camera's display on the phone app every single time.

Does not provide continuous live video feed.

Works well for what it does, Solar powered is a plus. However if you are looking for a system that provides continuous live feed, you may want to look elsewhere. Swann is not very forthcoming on this information. Discovered this bit of information using Google, as the user guide did not provide it.

Thank you for your positive feedback mpmaloy54! We're glad you find the solar power feature beneficial. The MaxRanger 4K provides a live feed accessible through the Swann Security app. However, if you're looking for continuous recording, we recommend exploring our wired systems, which are better suited for that purpose. If you have any questions or need assistance, please email us at tech@swann.com. Your feedback is important to us. LV - Swann Team.

I recently installed the device and found the setup process to be straightforward and user-friendly—installation was easy. However, I’ve noticed a few performance issues: There is a noticeable delay when connecting to the hub and during app-based monitoring. Movement detection also experiences a slight lag. The wide-angle view is appreciated, but image clarity fades significantly over distance. I hope this feedback helps improve future updates. Please let me know if there are any settings or updates I should try to enhance performance.

Hi Louw, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that the setup process was straightforward and easy for you. We also appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns. Regarding the performance issues you’ve mentioned: 1. Delay when connecting to the hub/app-based monitoring: It might be worth checking your network connection to ensure both the device and app have strong signal strength. You can also try restarting the hub or the app to see if that helps reduce the delay. 2. Movement detection lag: This can sometimes be influenced by factors like the sensitivity settings or the distance between the camera and the detected motion. We recommend adjusting the motion detection sensitivity through the app, or if the lag persists, checking if there are any firmware updates available for your device. 3. Image clarity fading over distance: This can be a common limitation of wide-angle lenses. If possible, try adjusting the placement of your cameras or experimenting with the resolution settings to see if it improves image clarity. If you haven’t already, I’d suggest ensuring your device is running the latest firmware and checking for any app updates. If the issues persist after these adjustments, feel free to reach out to us at tech@swann.com, and our team can troubleshoot further. We’re always here to help. Your feedback is truly appreciated.

Installed these cameras facing the street in both directions to catch cars driving past the house. The quality is not good enough to make out the driver or the car license plate. After 30 days had to take down the cameras to recharge the battery because the solar panel wasn’t enough to keep the cameras working.

Hi Harold, <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand your concerns regarding image clarity and battery performance, and we appreciate the opportunity to provide some context.<br /><br />When cameras are installed facing the street in both directions, they are exposed to frequent motion from passing vehicles. This can significantly impact battery performance, particularly if the solar panel is not receiving consistent, direct sunlight throughout the day. In these conditions, more frequent recharging may be required.<br /><br />Consumer-grade CCTV cameras are designed for general home surveillance, such as monitoring people, animals, or activity around entry points using motion detection. They are not specifically built with the hardware or specifications required for reliable driver identification or license plate capture, especially at a distance or with moving vehicles. Factors such as wide-angle lenses, shutter speed, night vision limitations, video compression, and camera placement can all affect the level of detail captured.<br /><br />For best results, we recommend positioning cameras to monitor areas closer to the home, such as driveways, walkways, or entrances, where motion is slower and within the camera’s optimal range. <br /><br />If you’d like assistance with placement recommendations or have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us at tech&#64;swann.com. We’re always happy to help.<br /><br />Your feedback is truly appreciated. Mary - Swann Team

Solar function is useless do not buy

do not buy this product. It’s advertised as solar. The solar is absolutely useless. I have to recharge at least once a week. When I called customer service they told me I needed to change my settings, notification settings, absolute waste of money do not buy.
