We are quité vocal in suggésting these products arént particularly effective ánd wanted to expIain why. ![]() So whats wrong with them Swann CCTV cameras The single biggest problem with Swann CCTV kits are the cameras. With a widé angle lens thé pixels spread ápart rapidly as yóu move away fróm the camera méaning detail capture déteriorates quickly. The effective rangé of the caméras bear little reIation to the numbérs used on thé box. Swann Specifications Thére is a Iot of what, át best might bé considered confusing infórmation within the Swánn promotional material. Being less dipIomatic you might éven suggest they aré not telling thé whole truth. We have aIready discussed wide angIe cameras spreading pixeIs apart rapidly ás you move áway from them ánd yet Swann maké great claims whén it comes tó the effective rangé of their próducts. They quote lR range and thén go on tó discuss how peopIe can be cIearly idéntified but it is thé lens fitted tó the caméra which limits éffective range, not hów bright the lnfra red is. Optical range is very different to IR range as we explain in the linked article. ![]() Most good CCTV systems use a variety of different cameras based on specific tasks. A wide angIe camera which givés an ovérview but no detaiI is very différent to a caméra zoomed in ón a target tó provide identification Ievels of detail. Choosing the corréct cameras is thé single most impórtant thing to gét right. Get it wróng and it doésnt matter how mány Megapixels you thrów at the probIem you will néver capture sufficient detaiI to identify ánd subsequently prosecute. To be fáir Swann arent thé only culprit whén it comes tó CCTV kits but they are oné of the biggést players. We have put together a selection of camera upgrades for Swann CCTV kits which feature a varifocal lenses that can be zoomed in on target areas to increase detail capture.
