I read that other brands have better customer support. Swann's support has been hit or miss for me.
I had a similar experience, but once I got through, they were helpful.

I just got a Swann security camera and I'm trying to connect it to my iPhone. Do I really need to verify my email address before I can use the app?
What if I have trouble connecting the camera to my iPhone? Any troubleshooting tips?
I disagree with the idea that the Swann app is user-friendly. I found the interface confusing and it took me a while to navigate through the options. Maybe some users have a better experience, but I struggled a bit.
I recently set up my Swann camera, and I found the process pretty straightforward. The app guides you well through adding the camera, but I did have to adjust the motion detection settings. The default sensitivity made it alert me every time a car went by! After tweaking that, it works great now.
I disagree with the suggestion that Swann cameras have the best quality for the price. I found the video quality to be subpar compared to other brands I’ve tried, especially at night. Has anyone else experienced that?
I just set up my Swann camera last week. The steps were pretty straightforward, but I wish there were more options for customizing alerts.
I’m having trouble connecting my Swann camera to the app. It keeps saying 'device not found'. Any tips on what might be going wrong?
