    If you want to be able to access your cameras from your mobile device or computer, THESE ARE NOT FOR YOU! Take a look at reviews in the app store or play store, and see that this is not an uncommon issue. Support is not helpful, and it seems like they are not even working on improving the mobile access features. Especially for such a high price, you would expect better services. Save yourself some time and buy a Nest or a Lorex system!

    Three days of good use then nothing but disconnection notices and the equipment not authenticating and acting like it’s in sleep mode on the monitor and you have to pull the power to get it to come back up. Then trying to understand their customer service just frustrates you even more as they stumble through to tell you to reset the system and monitor the problem.

      Hello Kasi,

      Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your most recent experience with our Swann - 8 Channel 2TB NVR, 8 x 4K PoE Cameras, w/Dual LED Spotlights, Color Night Vision & Free Face Detection. The recorder settings allow for adding in mask zones that help reduce the number of false triggers. More intense heat sources (e.g. vehicles) may detect a little further away and less intense heat sources (e.g. pets/small animals) may need to be a little closer before they are detected. The range/sensitivity of the motion sensor can be adjusted via the True Detect Motion Sensitivity settings bar in the app. If you have not already, please reach out to a member of our 24-hour support team and see how we can further assist.
