Please note that other Swann CCTV and IP camera models will not work with this app. This page will be updated as new compatible products are released.

Note: This app uses a data stream that will connect to your Swann system via 4G/5G or WiFi. When using 4G/5G, the video from your Swann device may be considered "downloads" by your phone service provider and could contribute to any download limit your phone data plan may have. If you exceed any plan limits you may incur additional usage charges. Consult with your mobile service provider regarding the use of a video streaming app and how it may affect your plan.

Ratings and reviews

I don't know what they did (or didn't do), but for @ the last 4 or 5 months, the app takes forever to load live views, to the point where it just stops/shuts down after the spinning icon spins for a while, showing nothing. It used to be pretty good; now it's constantly buffering, and if you are able to click on a recorded clip to view, it takes about 10seconds for every 1 second of video to watch. Virtually useless at this point, and this is at home on wifi. Away from home is even worse.

Its ok. Part of the features don't work as stated. The led red and blue alerts don't work, option isn't even on the app, the microphone doesnt work either, both were supposed to be part of the system when purchased. The app has consistent latency issues. Text support is over seas and useless, they're reading from a script and can't assist. The only good thing about the system is the easy installation. Not worth the 900. I paid in m opinion.

Ver.4.0.8 has been the worst. The app overall has been horrible but the most recent version crashes ALL THE TIME! Video payback is impossible unless you're on the home wifi. Think you can download one, NOPE! Can't do that either. When, IF you get a video to actually play it's choppy and impossible to understand anyone speaking on the recording. If you're thinking about this system, keep shopping. I was told Swann was one of the best... their app sure does not reflect that referral.
