High Resolution Security Camera Systems

Swann TruBlue 4 Channel D1 Professional Security System ($549.99, swann.com) If you’re not interested in dedicating a Windows PC to act as a Digital Video Recording (DVR) security system, or you prefer your captured camera imagery to be as clear and high resolution as possible without spending a fortune, the Swann TruBlue may be the best choice for you. The TruBlue contains a 500GB hard drive that can record up to 30 days of activity. Recorded data can be shared or copied onto additional external drives.

The TruBlue package also includes 4 high-resolution 600TVL night-vision-capable color cameras that can capture video at 30 frames per second and 1920 x 1080 resolution inside or outside. The DVR can be configured from a Mac or PC and can either record continuously or when triggered by motion. The TruBlue DVR also allows you to designate your own email server for motion-alert notifications and to view the videos over the Internet, although setting up the latter requires more networking configuration than other consumer-oriented security products.

The TruBlue offers a video-stream viewer app called SwannView (free, app2.me/5243). Unfortunately, you can’t change the DVR settings from within the app; you can only do so from a computer.
