Good advice and product seems to work well. Only disappointment was delay in responses to enquiries ... clearly in a different time zone to UK, so often response would come back a day later.

Swann camera systems have worked out great for us so far. My only complaint is that certain accessories have been frequently out of stock.

The original camer set up had a no subscrition. They keep dowgrading the image quality data thoughput on their app to make you pay for use of the app. I only puchased this setup because it was subscription free.
What they are doing is criminal. If you ring them they say we are closed and ring during office hours. During office hours and they are closed. They say ring during office hours. Never open. My next system will not be a Swann one. Nothing but trouble and lies. They said your eight camaera system cannot support five cameras on super HD. I am sick of lies and excuses becuase they want me to pay for subscription they keep interfeering with the app and downgrading the app playback quality. I won't fast forward or backward and is slow and unresponsive. Terrible and they called that an upgarde! Used to work great.

Hi Mr. Nicholls,
Thank you for sharing your feedback again. We’re truly sorry to hear how frustrating this experience has been, especially given that you chose the system specifically because it was advertised as subscription-free. We completely understand how upsetting it must feel to experience changes in performance and to feel as though you’re being pushed toward something you never intended to sign up for.
We also apologize for the issues you’ve encountered with playback quality, app responsiveness, and the difficulty reaching support. That’s not the level of service or reliability we want you to have, and we understand how this has impacted your overall confidence in the system.
We’d like to reassure you that our subscription remains optional and is not required for the core functionality of your device. Any updates made are intended to improve performance, not reduce it, and we’re very sorry if your experience has been the opposite.
We also apologize for the confusion around phone support availability. Due to regional and staffing limitations, phone support may not always be accessible, but this does not mean support has been removed. We are still here and committed to assisting you through available channels so we can work toward resolving these issues.
We’ve also reached out to you via email but haven’t received a response yet. It’s possible our message may have been missed, so we kindly ask you to check your inbox, including your spam or junk folder. We genuinely want to help you get your system back to working as it should and find the best possible resolution for you.
We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to make this right. Your feedback is truly appreciated.

After many weeks of making changes to…
After many weeks of making changes to my doorbell camera set up it looks as if I now am able to get some use from it.
I spent many hours of my time responding to Swann directives to get this unit working including now having to resite it something not mentioned in their set procedure.
One area I am certainly not happy with is battery life, charged the unit for over 24hours then refitted it on Sunday but now at Tuesday evening and having seen only around 25 notifications the unit is at 41% which I guess will be down to 25% within a couple of days when I know the unit will stop operating.
Again now I have to spend time and money to get a consistent and possibly reliable unit.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for sharing your experience again. We’re truly sorry to hear about the amount of time and effort you’ve had to put into getting your doorbell camera set up and working properly.

We also hear your concerns about the battery life, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. We understand how important it is for the device to be reliable without requiring constant recharging or additional expense on your part.
Upon reviewing your case, we can see that there is an active support ticket, and our team has been trying to reach you so we can continue working toward a stable and long-term solution for your unit. It’s possible our messages may have been missed, so we kindly ask you to check your inbox (and spam/junk folder just in case).

Hi Carlos,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We completely understand how important it is for you to stay connected with your mom and we’re really sorry for any confusion and disappointment this has caused.
We’d like to clarify that the system you ordered is a DVR system that supports one-way audio. This means you can hear what’s happening through the camera, but it doesn’t have the capability to transmit your voice back through the device.
We’ve also checked and can see that you already have an active support ticket being handled by our Sales Team. We kindly ask that you respond to the email they’ve sent so we can continue assisting you and explore the best possible options to meet your needs.
We truly appreciate your patience and the opportunity to help resolve this for you.

Hi Jessie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how frustrating it can be when things don’t work consistently and expect reliable performance.
We also sincerely apologize for the difficulty you encountered when trying to reach our support team. Our operating hours are limited, and we are closed during weekends, which is why calls may not always be answered and you’re redirected to email. We understand how important timely support is, and we’re sorry this added to your experience.
Please be assured that we take your concerns seriously. We will be reaching out to your email shortly so we can gather more details about the Wi-Fi connection issues and work closely with you toward the best possible resolution. Our goal is to make things right and ensure you get the experience you expected.

Hi Mr. Shanmugam,
Thank you for your feedback. We completely understand why receiving a review request before your order arrives would be frustrating.
We sincerely apologize for the confusion this may have caused. These review requests are sometimes triggered automatically based on estimated delivery dates, which can result in them being sent before the order has actually been delivered.
We also want to be transparent that we’re currently experiencing slight delays with some orders due to our ongoing warehouse relocation. While this move is aimed at improving our service in the long term, it has unfortunately affected shipping timelines for some customers.
We understand that this doesn’t reflect your actual experience yet, and we’re truly sorry for any inconvenience.

Overpriced product and shipping
Overpriced for the product. The cost of shipping was outrageous given the length of time it took to arrive. It's bad enough that 2 of my cameras died after less than 2 years. All of my Ring cameras from 2017 still work. If only Swann knew how to provide a better app experience, they could be the best thing out there.

We also appreciate your comments about the app experience. Feedback like yours is incredibly valuable, as it helps highlight where we need to improve, not just in product durability, but in the overall user experience we provide.
