Works well when wi-fi cameras won't cut it

I live in the 3rd floor of an apartment building with a garage on the ground floor. I was looking for some cameras to monitor the garage and most wi-fi cameras wouldn't work as I couldn't pick up my network from the garage. Took a gamble on these as they seemed to be the only reasonably priced long range cameras on the market and I'm happy to say they worked out quite well for me! The one downside is that the live playback isn't always perfect and can freeze for a few seconds, but it works well most of the time. Admittedly, the main reason I got these cameras was to be able to check if I left my garage door open or if I accidently hit the clicker from my apartment (yes it does open from up there). Never had any issues connecting to the cameras and steady live playback isn't strictly necessary for checking on the garage or downloading playback from an incident, so I'm happy! Had these cameras a few weeks now and battery charge is still showing full, but that's to be expected considering the cameras turn on only a few times a day when I go in the garage or check on them.

Solar Security System: Reliable Protection with Minor App Quirks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Solar Security System works great, providing reliable security for my home. The picture quality is excellent, but there's a minor issue with the app – I can't flip the camera view. Additionally, charging the camera can be inconvenient as it needs to be turned occasionally due to poor sunlight exposure. Despite these drawbacks, it's still a fantastic investment for peace of mind.

Hello m3770w, Thank you for taking the time to share your positive review on the MAXRANGER4K. The MaxRanger4K offers the longest and strongest wireless signal from other WI-FI cameras. Please note, that the camera should not be turned upside down because it's a solar-powered camera. A speaker is also located at the bottom of the camera and moisture could damage it. We hope you continue to enjoy all of the great features this system has to offer. For assistance, please visit our support page or contact us over the phone. https://support.swann.com/s/ Your feedback is important to us. LV - Swann Team

So easy to install!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used other outdoor cameras previously, never solar, but now that I have been using these I won't go back to any that aren't solar! The battery life is amazing & they were so easy to install, I have already recommended them to some family members. The app is easy to use & I love that I don't have to pay any monthly fee to use it. They have a very clear image & I feel very safe having them when I am away from home!

Love that it has solar built in.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The picture quality is good, but I don't see an option for the 4k it claims it has. The app is not as easy to navigate as I would like it to be, so maybe it does and I can't find it, but I found where it says HD. I also would love if the hub was wifi compatible like the cameras, that way the hub could be hooked right to my TV, instead of being limited to being that close to the modem. Otherwise, I do love it has adjustable sensitivity levels. Makes markers to watch when you catch a disturbance. Has a years worth of recorded storage thats easily erased when your ready. Its lights are bright and not only can you hear, or speak, you can also sound an alarm! These are everything our other unit was missing, and will make a great addition to our home security system.

Hello reviewsunderthemoon, Thank you for taking the time to share your positive feedback on the MaxRanger4K. Please note, this is a real 4K system. Although, the recording resolutions are dynamic, meaning they they will be the maximum 4K resolution if the cameras have good signal strength, but they may drop to lower resolutions if the signal drops. The current resolution they’re working at can be seen from the NVR menu with a monitor. Keep in mind the live view on the app is not ideal for 4K view, this is because of the small screen mobile devices. You can set the Live view to stream at medium or high for best live resolution. We hope you continue to enjoy all of the great features this system has to offer.

Easy setup and quality video!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to use these cameras at my business on the sides of my building where my other cameras do not have as great a view, however, trying them out in my backyard has made me want to keep them on my fence! I get an excellent and high quality view of my entire backyard with just the two cameras. I even get views of the back door and patio area. The battery life so far has been great, even when we had an overcast day. I love the features in the app for settings such as when I'm home and do not need the cameras going, or when I'm away and do want need alerts. One issue I had was that my dog was picked up as a car, but I found it amusing. The app is great with love viewing on a grid or list as well as dynamic viewing. Nighttime of course is not as easy to see, but if someone walks into the yard at night, we will definitely be alerted, so the night view is fine in that respect. I did not choose to try out the subscription because I do not feel the need to have those added features at this time. Setup was super simple with the quick start guide and I was up and running within 15 minutes! The base station is a bit bulky, but I'm glad it's white and does not interfere with my decor in that room. My cameras were detected immediately, and my Internet speed has not slowed down by having the connection of the base station to my router. Packaging was also very organized and the equipment seems very well made, heavy and sturdy.

MaxRanger Spots out the Danger!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been looking at security systems for quite a long time. I have never found one that included all the features that were important to me, until now! The top features for me would be solar power, wireless connectivity, spotlights, and 2-way audio, which are all included in this set. The extra features that take this system over the top include the amazing long range of the wireless signal, the ability to set motion sensitivity, incredible night vision capabilities, and 4K video quality. The setup of this set was so much easier than I anticipated. All I had to do was download the app, plug in the hub to my router, scan the qr code on the hub with the app, and then turn on the video cameras (cameras are already linked to hub) and install cameras with 4 screws! You should also charge the cameras up for a few hours before installing them since they will need some time to charge in the sunlight once installed. There is also a battery you will need to charge that goes in the hub so you won't lose access to the system if the power goes out. So far, we have not had any issues with the solar batteries. They stay charged even through the rainy, cloudy days, which we have had a lot of lately. As impressed as I am with the battery capabilities, I'm even more impressed with the amazing video quality! The quality is so important as extra details can make all the difference when trying to identify suspected thieves. The night vision is equally impressive and makes me feel confident in this system to help me keep my home safe. The added bonus of the spotlight and 2-way audio really puts my mind at ease and comes in handy during certain situations. One of the reasons I wanted a security system was to identify animals coming around my home, especially at night. Occasionally, we get a visit from a bear that takes our garbage out of our bin, but until now, we have not actually seen it ourselves, although our neighbors have seen it. We also have deer in our backyard every morning, so it's nice to deer watch. I get real-time motion alerts for cars, any type of motion, and heat signatures, so nothing ever gets missed, but I can also view the live coverage anytime from the app. A 64 gb SD card came with the system, but you also have a free trial period to use the cloud service, so that was a nice addition. You really do get what you pay for and though the price of this system is not among the cheapest on the market, you will save money in the long run with the great quality and the elimination of needed wifi extenders. You really can't go wrong with this one, especially if you need it to cover a large area as it covers up to 2000 open air space or 650 feet of regular use, which is astonishing by today's standards! Even in the dark, you can still see up to 130 feet. If you are looking for a great system with all the bells and whistles, you can't go wrong with this this one. Its features and capabilities are far superior to other brands I have been looking at. I totally recommend to anyone serious about protecting their home, especially those who need it to work for long distances!

Great Advanced Solar Security System

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received the Swann MaxRanger4K Solar Security System from Influenster, and I and I am very impressed. The Max Ranger 4k has so many advanced technology features and it is also incredibly easy to use. What I love the most about it is that the solar powered cameras have facial recognition and can distinguish between real threats and false alarms. Additionally, it can be controlled through the Swann Security app, without requiring a monthly subscription. Overall, I believe that the Max Ranger 4 is an excellent security system and highly recommend it to anyone looking for one.

Super nice syatem

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great camera system. It is solar so you don't have to worry about running electricity. It comes with 2 cameras but you can add additional which is very nice. Very nice system without breaking the bank or having to pay for a service. Adds a feeling of security.
