Summary

The app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to persistent issues with playback functionality, which frequently fails, crashes, or is extremely slow, especially following recent updates. Users also report significant problems with general app performance, including freezing, lagging, and poor connectivity, making live view unreliable when away from home. While some users praise the ease of setup, video quality, and hardware performance, the app's overall instability, buggy updates, and lack of essential features like reliable remote access and responsive customer support severely detract from the user experience.

Description

With Swann Security, everything is controllable via this single app. Swann’s wired security systems, including all of our latest DVR and NVR series, now work seamlessly with wireless solutions such as Swann's new range of Indoor and Outdoor Wi-Fi security cameras. A list of products that work with this app can be found here: https://www.swann.com/us/apps Please note that other Swann CCTV and IP camera models will not work with this app. This page will be updated as new compatible products are released. Note: This app uses a data stream that will connect to your Swann system via 4G/5G or Wi-Fi. When using 4G/5G, the video from your Swann device may be considered "downloads" by your phone service provider and could contribute to any download limit your phone data plan may have. If you exceed any plan limits you may incur additional usage charges. Consult with your mobile service provider regarding the use of a video streaming app and how it may affect your plan.
