It does what I thought it would do, ive had it roughly 8 to 10 years with literally no problems. Why is didn't give it 5 stars it would have to function very well and be free to get 5 stars and swan has met one of the two.

Home Safe and my Swann security system work very well together!
★★★★★Chad Indovina· Apr 25, 2026
I love the simplicity. It is simple and light. Because it is light it doesn't use much data. I can remotely view even when I don't have very good service (especially when traveling).
★★★★★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.

Like the set-up but never can view on the app kinda pointless while away from home. Keeps getting worse. Ugh can't access any cctv
★★☆☆☆Mark Johnston· Jun 1, 2026
App is very unreliable. It only opens on occasion and shuts down in the middle of viewing. Good thing the app is free. I definitely wouldn't pay for it.

I cannot view from my cameras from my phone. The Swann View system is working because I can view on my laptops.
★☆☆☆☆Jesus Gonzalez· Jun 27, 2026
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.
