You'll need a long handled feather duster if you are putting up that Swan system btw.

Spiders love IR lights.

Yes I've noticed that, Some days its like watching a horror movie when a giant white spider walks across the Screen Spooky

Must be like a giant solarium and those IR seeking bugs fly into a nice dry web...

A friend of mine bought the swann system a couple of months ago works great and easy to set up on smart phone for remote viewing. I took a cheaper option and bought an ip camera set it to upload to an FTP server which was free with my ISP, can also view on iPhone and set to send still images by email if it detects movement was very pleased for a modest outlay of £40, am thinking of getting another. Only thing I will say about the swann system and mine for that matter its not hd so pictures are not perfect, that's why I am thinking of spending a bit more and getting an hd camera. But the pictures are good enough to help identify someone.

I'm sure you will be happy with them, TIP, sling the remote in the nearest hedge, its so clumsy to use, instead plug the supplied mouse in to the top usb port, the bottom one is for memory stick backup, then use the right click to shortcut to the menus,
