agree there jaskel, I think SWAN need to wake up and realise people will eventually realise their product is far inferior compared to other products..

The only thing swan have going for them is they are easy to install and non technical people can do it themselves

Reading a thread on computer.. A cheap way to do it and stream it live to iPhone / iPad is through a program called Icam/ Ispy using web cameras ,as there are a few free ones to download . Just something I found looking on the net.. Motion activated , can send email, SMS and other options....
Thanks sw sydney scanner. Using UBCD396T

Doing it that way gives poor quality and no recording and if it does rec there will be no water mark so u can't use it for evidence.

exactly, like my former employer they had about 6 dvr's setup that was recording video

only problem was, if you shutdown the application running on the server it stopped recording of all camera's...
Besides that the vision they were recording was not encrypted in any way shape or form so you could quite easily doctor the vision put it back up on the Server and they would be none the wiser.

They started installing Honywell Fusion DVR's before i left there, which were brilliant as they were encrypted and without the appropriate viewing software and the right codec's you could not see anything except black

Yeah the fusion dvr were simply a cheap Chinese rebadged Honeywell.

We run QNAP NVR or Axis camera companion or Milestone for the more hardcore jobs! IP is the only way to go these days

Axis cameras and camera companion is a winner

Look at the paradox alarm with PCS 3G module. Mg5050 is a decent unit

ah nice, my former employer used to deal with Kings Security in Sydney who were recently grilled by ICAC for alleged "corruption"...

no so much of what happened when i worked for my former employer makes sense now...
