A good system, but it takes forever to see the video and most of the time my core cam is offline. The last update has messed up both of my cameras, no more playback, but I get notifications, camera won't go live, can't connect to Wi-Fi. This app sucks, fix it.

Quality, reliable, not user-friendly but able to work out. PROBLEMS: Firstly technical assistance is not often available as they must use U.S. clocks, and they have engaged Google GEMINI as there A.I. massive problem, Gemini has no idea how the cameras work, they have enormous problems working out how their own system works. Spent 1 hour on 1 task, failed. Gemini couldn't even tell me how to get Gemini live working, gave suggestions (none worked) 35 minutes Failed. Swann does not accept complaint

I've had a camera system at a couple of my properties, and the swan system is by far the best, for a few reasons, quality, reliability, and ease of operation.

The best long range camera that we found. It works great at our gate that's about 600 feet from our house and there are no fees of any kind.

5580 lasted about 6 years then died. Bought a 5680 to replace and now nothing works other than direct dvr view. No push notifications (yes, they are enabled), can't view remotely on laptop or pc devices, and it brings down my cell and tablet if I try to view live. I'm done with this company and their products. Time to research for something user-friendly for all 8 of my cameras that swann can't support

Useless app. By the time live view gets on, the person is long gone. It is so slow. As a security point of view, my dog barking g tells me quicker
★☆☆☆☆Nathan Pearson· Oct 16, 2026
Camera's constantly drop out with the app taking a substantial amount of time to load and show live feeds. Playback is shockingly slow to load as if the camera live feed drops out so does the playback. Do not recommend
★☆☆☆☆Stalking Neighbors· Sep 8, 2026
PLEASE STOP LETTING THEM METHS TURN MY DEVICES OFF. Because the app is allowing my location to be tracked and our devices turned off. My stalking neighbors are tracking my location 2 blocks from my house when I go live on the app.My camera system is to protect my family not to be turned off by my stalkers Please be careful the cameras will spoof and skip by seconds an minute. Cops will turn off app live when you pass them. SWANN PRODUCTS OUT OF BUSINESS IN ALL STOR
