About Swann Home Security Camera System with 2TB HDD
Overall Feedback:
81% positive
68% liked the easy access from anywhere, but 32% encountered connectivity issues
Although I could get the cameras to display on my Chromecast TV via the assistant, I couldn't get them to display on my iPhone with the Google Home app. They should show along with my other cameras via the camera icon, but instead, I got the error "can't reach camera", retry. The integration with Google Home is not 100%.
72% appreciated the user-friendly mobile app, although 28% experienced crashes
The app caused additional charges to my mobile data plan by using over 7 GB of data in just 1 hour. It lacks reliability and a fully functional interface, making it difficult to view security footage and receive motion alerts when away from home.
I had a negative experience with the mobile app integration of the surveillance-nvr-kits. The connection failed all the time, app crashes often, video playback is slow and choppy, unable to download the video, only take screenshot, video replay can not scroll based on time.
67% found setup straightforward, yet 33% struggled with pairing cameras
I had to drill a hole through brick, push the wires through, and build a wooden overhang to protect the cameras while installing them under the eaves.
68% impressed with the high-resolution cameras, but 32% experienced blurriness
After 3 hours, I noticed that the cameras became blurry 30 minutes after sunset.
In the daytime, faces of people within 15 feet of the cameras cannot be made out due to poor camera resolution.
