Comments on Swann Security for Android

★★★★★ Chris Dies · Sep 11, 2026
I run a reptile zoo in fl and with our caging being spaced out, so animals have more room we needed a camera system that could reach and these are out at 1000ft mark and slight delay but still can watch live and get notifications with descriptions to my phone
★★★★☆ Mark Chamberlin · Sep 13, 2026
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.
★★★★☆ brad marchant · Oct 6, 2026
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
★☆☆☆☆ jeanagh murphy · Oct 7, 2026
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
★☆☆☆☆ Lex Luthor · Nov 5, 2026
Absolutely the WORST security app I've ever used! Constant crashes, cameras refusing to load, and playback that's an absolute nightmare. Every time I've had an incident at work and needed to review footage, this buggy, unreliable app has failed me! What's the point of investing in a security camera system when you can't access the recordings when you need them most? Swann, your app has practically rendered my cameras useless! This is a SECURITY system, not a game! Shame on Swann!
