1. 4/5SWANN security cameras

   These are the best I’ve found on the market for the price we paid why wife & i have looked at a whole bunch of security cameras and what we’ve found out there in the market for the price was as good as it get the only set back was we didn’t get any way to be able to communicate with anyone back & forth so this is the only set back on these cameras that I found and i really don’t like that we’re in the process of seeing if there’s a way to have a speaker to be able to add on these systems because there’s a Jack on the main system too hook up a 2 way speaker but we haven’t found out how or where to get this speaker system In order to hook up a 2 way voice control communication system so we are still looking into this as I’m writing this review for SWANN hopefully they’ll see this comment and help us out if not we will not be buying this product like this ever again

2. 5/5Better than the Ring Camera!!!!

   So my husband purchased the 3 camera and hub set due to him being gone in the oilfields and me being alone was his biggest fear with proof of two prior break-ins both while we were gone. This set is amazing you can filter where you want to catch activity specifically, make a schedule tailored to you and your life very fast and simple, and can record everything in 4k! My husband can check in on me while he is gone, and annoy me with the two way communication on all of the cameras as well. We are in the process of buying the wireless door bell as well as a couple extra cameras for our back yard. These cameras are the best and worth the investment, so far we have had them outdoors in Idaho weather conditions so far they are going strong in 115 degree heat in the day and the desert cold at night. The only thing I wish I could change is the company including three chargers for the cameras instead of one, because when it comes to charging them only their C-Cable charging cord will fit. Making it hard to charge all the cameras at once.

3. 1/5Disappointed

   I bought one floodlight with camera to try it out and was very happy for the most part except the application took forever to open at times and that was very frustrating especially after receiving a notification but......I decided camera was still good so I bought 3 more to place in different areas of home. I now regret doing it because the application seems to be worst. I get notifications (like 60+ at times) and try to open camera live view to see what’s going on and nothing, won’t open, just “spins” saying trying to connect then once it does finally display if at all I try to click on view individual camera and again takes forever to actually open up to view and use mic or just to monitor movement. Most of the time I end up just closing the app because it’s too frustrating. Internet connection is good and I keep up with updates so I know it’s none of that to be an issue. I have since purchased a Ring and see the difference so definitely regret buying the swann products and WILL NOT be recommending to anyone!

4. 2/5Not sure how people are so happy

   I bought this camera system for a vacation property so I could monitor it while not being there. The cameras went up easy and set up was easy. The issues I have is using them. Remotely, it’s very glitchy. Often it can take one to two minutes to do a playback. Recently I find I need to switch from mobile to high just to review it. Even then, it takes a long time to watch the video because it starts and stops, over and over. The other issue I have is that it constantly drops cameras. I’ve had 3 cameras that worked just fine and then they disappear from my app. Then miraculously come back days or weeks later. I just don’t understand it. I did an overhaul on the system a few weeks ago, even replacing Ethernet cables. It worked fine for a few days and then another camera disappeared. On that, there’s always one camera that constantly records video for playback and the others don’t. So one camera will leave 50 videos a day and zero for the others. I feel as though the the product is good, because from the NVR and monitor it works great, but the app is terrible. I have Arlo cameras on my other house and I can adjust the cameras so many different ways from the app. The Swann app is terrible compared to the Arlo app. You can’t hardly do anything from the app, including watching your cameras.

5. 1/5Beware!!!

   Recent news—- I bought a brand new up to date 1080p and it still has problems with this app. So even the new magnetic cameras doesn’t stay connected and doesn’t stream. Absolutely the worst security cameras. Don’t waste your money, DON’T rely on on Swann cameras to watch your house.... Below explains some of my issues with tech support. —. My 4 small 1080p magnetic CAMERAS DON’T WORK since swann went to the new app. I have been with the old app for like 5 yrs. and never a problem. I have these cameras to watch on my 92 yr old mother while I’m at work. I have talked to numerous techs since app switch in June and nothing they will not stream.” On Sept 22 I got a phone call from a tech named Frank who said his supervisor approved 4 new cameras to be sent to me. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED THEM YET!” I called and ask for them to have Frank Marino call me, but i get no where!!!. The dummy’s that answer the phone keep wanting to warranty out my 1080p spotlight camera on my patio. BUT I’m not having problems with that one. However they send a refurbished spotlight camera and i never asked for it... Update spoke to a girl named Liz who said she would stay on top of this and was going to call me back, she never did and Frank still hasn’t called me back. Unreal these camera don’t work with this app, but they were fine with the old app.
