Swann SUCKS!  Quality is really bad, $1300.00 for 8 cameras and DVR would be a slow frame rate for the DVR (30 FPS is full motion) take  the FPS divide it by the number of channels and that is what you would get IF every channel was recording at once. Check out Speco there stuff is good, you will pay more upfront but in the end it will be cheaper.
