Swann Software needs more work

I have had the NVR-8EX with four cameras for a couple of weeks. Connecting the cameras to the integrated PoE switch on the NVR appears to work quite well however I'm connecting the cameras over my LAN. The first two cameras work but the others refuse to acquire a DHCP address from my router. I have opened a case with Swann support and the support person seems to be having trouble understanding the issue. I have asked several times how to do a factory reset on the camera but they ignore the question. They have also asked me to navigate to menu items which do not exist on my system.
I have also connected a TP-Link camera over the LAN using ONVIF protocol and it appears in the live view as expected but records continuously after detecting movement. Their support has told me they can't help with this issue. Their system supposedly supports third party cameras with ONVIF and RTSP but apparently not my particular TP-Link camera.
I have installed the Swann Security app for my Mac. It simply doesn't work. Cannot add the NVR and it doesn't find cameras. Setup Wizard doesn't work. Manual add doesn't work.

Hi John,

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We understand your disappointment, especially after encountering multiple problems with camera connectivity, difficulties obtaining answers regarding factory reset procedures, and challenges with the Swann Security app. We also understand your concerns regarding the guidance you received from support when menu options did not match what was available on your system.

Regarding third-party camera integration, Swann systems are designed and tested primarily with compatible Swann cameras. While some third-party cameras may connect through ONVIF or RTSP protocols, compatibility and functionality can vary significantly between manufacturers and ONVIF versions. Features such as motion detection, analytics, audio functions, PTZ control, and recording behaviors may not be fully supported, even when live video is available. As a result, we cannot guarantee full functionality with third-party devices that have not been tested by our dev team.

That said, your concerns regarding the Swann cameras acquiring DHCP addresses, the factory reset guidance you requested, and the operation of the Swann Security app are separate matters that we would like the opportunity to review more closely. We understand how important it is to receive accurate troubleshooting steps and clear answers when working through technical problems.

Your feedback regarding the support experience and product setup process has been taken seriously. We'd appreciate the opportunity to investigate further and work with you toward the best possible resolution. We will be reaching out to you via a separate email to review your case in more detail and ensure your concerns are properly addressed.

Your feedback is truly appreciated.

Swann refuses to uphold their warranty

Swann refuses to uphold their warranty. Over 3 weeks now dealing with their "support" team. Repeatedly sending them screenshots & clips with no sound being the microphone does not work. For 2 week EVERY DAY they kept emailing to repeatedly check settings over and over again. REPEATEDLY FAILS TO WORK. Then they finally say they are replacing but more nonesense. Tristan keeps claiming it is "in process and"working with our warehouse team". YET their web page shows EVO DOORBELL IN STOCK.

Hi Lisa,

We apologize for the delay.

We are working closely with our warehouse team on the fulfillment of your replacement request. You will be notified as soon as the tracking number is available.

Thank you for the e-mail correspondence I received from Swann Security from my completing the online request form.
I suggested as I mentioned to your Noonlight company monitoring service that Swann Security customer's ought to include contact options made available for Swann customers to contact Swann Security by telephone to speak to a live customer service representative for assistance with its products. The Swann customer service phone number only has an automated interactive voice system response message.

Hi Kimberley,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We appreciate your suggestion regarding live telephone support and understand the value that speaking directly with a customer service representative can provide, particularly when assistance is needed with security products and services.

Phone support is funded and managed by regional head offices or partner distributors, and at the moment, the USA branch has not set up a regional tech support phone line. This doesn’t mean support has been removed. All customers, in every region, can still access our dedicated support channels, including email assistance, live chat (where available), and comprehensive online resources. Due to current staffing constraints, these channels allow Swann to continue providing reliable and timely help to customers worldwide.

We sincerely appreciate you sharing your thoughts regarding the customer experience. Feedback such as yours helps us evaluate and improve the ways we support our customers, and your comments have been shared with the appropriate teams for consideration.

Garbage Product & Support

I have an NVR on my network, can see it on my phone, will their PC App find it on my Network ? NOOO

Their Support pages cannot give a simple answer to a question like a factory re-set for one of their products.... Download the manual AND it is not even in the manual ?

I got suckered in by them for the Second time and thought I'd update my current system with 6k Cameras... All made of plastic ! Was it easier this time ? NOOO

They are just relying on their heritage.

Seriously I do not recommend you waste your time and money with these Swann.... Go for the Chinese products.... Swann gear is made in China anyway lol

Costly Mistake — Never Again!

I have utilised Swann CCTV cameras for almost a decade and unfortunately my experience has not been great.

My original system failed within two years and an engineer later explained that the previous Costco‑supplied installation service (TSG) ran cables through the guttering where water could run directly over them.

What surprised me most is that the Ethernet cables included with the NEW Swann system are not even waterproof, despite being sold for outdoor use.

I was also informed I needed junction boxes, something never mentioned at purchase but apparently essential. For the price of Swann products, I expected better quality and clearer guidance.

Buyers should know that extra waterproofing equipment is likely needed if you want the system to last and in my experience the lack of this has led to the system failing far sooner than reasonable, meaning customers may find themselves replacing their CCTV systems every few years.

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for being a Swann customer for nearly a decade. We are sorry to hear that your experience has not met your expectations, particularly after investing in multiple systems over the years. We understand your concerns regarding the failure of your original installation, the information you received about cable routing and weather exposure, and the additional requirements for waterproofing and junction boxes that you feel were not clearly communicated at the time of purchase.

We appreciate you sharing these observations, as installation conditions can play a significant role in the long-term performance of outdoor security systems. We also understand your concerns about durability and the additional measures required to help protect connections from environmental factors.

Your feedback regarding product expectations, installation guidance, and overall system longevity has been taken seriously and will be shared with the appropriate teams for review. We recognize the importance of providing customers with clear information to help ensure the best possible installation and long-term performance.

We'd appreciate the opportunity to investigate further what occurred during your previous interactions with Swann and work with you toward the best possible resolution.

Dreadful customer service

Dreadful customer service. We installed Swann security cameras based on not having to pay a monthly fee once installed. The cameras are OK but not great and then when our home WiFi changed, our accounts logged out and even with the same details we haven’t been able to log back in. Am sure resolvable so tried calling Swann for advice. Not able to get through to technical support after trying on various days over a month. So emailed and got a series of nonsensical responses back from an outsourced team. Have continued trying to call technical support and each time the line is closed or unavailable despite it being within their open hours. Would steer clear

Colour me disappointed

Terrible delivery times - dispatch took at least 3 working days.
The delivery company told me 1 day, then changed their minds once I'd made plans.
I don't know how much connectivity I should expect from a 3rd party camera, but what I got was less than I expected. All in all, I consider this set up to be inferior to the analogue system I swapped for this.

Swann EVO 2K Pan and Tilt Indoor WiFi Camera app bug and tracking

I was experiencing issues with Swann EVO 2K Pan and Tilt Indoor WiFi Cameras(2) where I was no longer able to manoeuvre either cameras’ view on the app after a software update. The other issue was one camera had stopped tracking altogether.

Got in touch with Swanns technical team, where they were able to resolve both issues within their specified timeframe. They identified a bug in the software; Swann Security App version 5.12 where if you were to use a tablet to view the app., whilst in the horizontal position, the software would not offer the pan and tilt option. The fix was to swivel the tablet into a vertical position. What an easy fix! As for tracking not working on one of the cameras, once I was able to manoeuvre the view back into its centre position, the camera went back to tracking my movements like an 8week old puppy.

So happy with the Swann team, they were upfront with the bug and more importantly, they got back to me in a timely manner, a quality that is a rarity these days. Good on you Swann and all the folks that work there, keep it up, I remain an advocate of their quality and competitively priced products.

I purchased a DVR8-5680 on May 19.
