I have gained access and the App works really well! lets me see what I need to when I need!!
★★★★★Jim Comer· Jun 30, 2026
Works great. My cameras are several years old as is my NVR. I can also display these cameras on my Harbor Freight NVR at the same time. I put a 8tb drive in the NVR and search is fast.

The Home Safe app works great. It hooks into my cameras quick. It's easy to understand and use.
★★★★★Joseph Witherspoon· Jun 17, 2026
Home Safe and my Swann security system work very well together!
★☆☆☆☆Melissa Parsons· Jul 29, 2026
Have 3 cameras that stopped working out of nowhere. I've tried getting ahold of customer service for help since we paid for the best plan-, but come to find out. The only live help is the australia office, which I spoke to for 30 min. While this guy took all my camera information, and then literally hung up on me. To top it off I received my cell ph bill today- I'm being charged 100 dollars for the Australia call. Not to mention the cameras STILL don't work. Really? Thanks for nothing.

I have had this app disabled for two years since moving to my new home. Haven't used it since then. Noticed today that the app has been accessing my camera and microphone several times. Recommend to either uninstalling this spy app or limiting permissions. Terrible for a security app to be used to spy on its own users.

Not very user-friendly, unable to login remotely to my swann cctv system at all.

This app has gone worse now, mobile streaming never opens and by mistake if it opens, it takes so long to show live-streaming.
