Not working
By Jim Alaska (Pcmac user)
We have 6 of these cameras in my family. Two days ago all of them on 3 different networks stopped allowing us to view them unless you happen to be on the WiFi network that they were set up on.. So if you are out and and about and want to see a live view or a recorded video when not at home you can't. These set ups are in NJ and CA. none of them work !!
The tech support is in the Philippines and Swann in the USA or AU will not talk directly to the customer. The people in the PI are clueless and are not really employed by Swann. Its a Fing mess. Also the firmware needs to be updated and the camera will not allow an update. The app is clumsy and unstable.
Not sure what a better solution is but the answer is NOT Swann. I bought these to try out the company quality and software before I did a large POE system. Glad I found out what Swann is all about first. before spending thousands.

No push notifications..
By Adam Slechta (Pcmac user)
I don’t see the point in owning a device such as this without motion activated push notifications to my phone..
however the stream quality and control are very useful. I was able to pan the camera from another state.
But still.. motion activated push notifications for unexpected visitors would be an ideal feature for future updates.
The motion alarm isn’t useful if you have pets.. it’ll just blare continuously.. And email notifications aren’t great either. I end up getting 100 emails a day of dust floating past the camera. Not useful. I stand by my original post and suggest the developer figure out how to implement push notifications.

Getting better
By Dave from Az (Pcmac user)
Far better than the last Swann app. The biggest problem I have with this is that when playing recorded video, it will only start from beginning of the motion detected clip. So, if I have a 20 minute recording, I have to watch it from the beginning, I can not scroll to another part of the recording. I am rating this 3 stars because the last Swann app was so bad, this is a big step.

Unusable. Return.
By Pupsyk (Pcmac user)
Plus, the camera itself is great and the rotation feature is welcome. Negative: everything else. It only works when you're on the same WiFi network as the camera this defeating a prior of being able to view from any location. I'm a seasoned IT professional. Even rebooted and deleted it a few times with the same results. This is a joke. Will be returning it!
