Note: This app uses a data stream that will connect to your Swann DVR via 3G/4G or WiFi. When using 3G/4G, the video from your DVR will likely be considered "downloads" by your phone service provider and will contribute to any download limit your phone data plan may have. If you exceed any plan limits you may incur additional usage charges. Consult with your mobile service provider regarding the use of a video streaming app and how it may affect your plan.

Pros and cons of SwannView app for iPhone and iPad

SwannView app good for

This app works well but you always have to go back in to assign cameras. I wish they stay the same.
Get a static ip address and call a computer geek and it will work fine!
What a pleasant surprise to discover the ease and speed to download DVR4-4000 pics & video to my iPod gen 5. This app deserves 5 Stars. Thank you Swann.

Some bad moments

I recently installed two separate 4 channel security systems in our building. Both made by Swann, and both boasting their remote viewing capability on your mobile device. Only trouble is this app only supports one of the two units. When I entered all of the mobile information for the slightly older model it tells me to purchase a different app for viewing, (MEyePro). Not sure why Swann Communication wouldnt be supporting their own systems???
I had a swann security system set up and the app was working perfectly and now all of the sudden it wont let me view anymore:(
I have an 8 channel system and it works well after much configuring of my home router. Dont forget that most home users have a dynamic ip address that changes over time and you need to redo configuration. Swann needs an HD iPad version as the app is designed for the iPhone and the screen is ridiculous on an iPad.
Not the greatest app, have to tweak it every time I want to use it. Never have been able to get it to work when away from home. Which is the whole idea, whether on wifi or 3 g it wont dial into my cameras unless I am at home. Waste of time. Defeats whole purpose of app. All Swanner apps are the same. Why do u have 3 versions that dont work????
I dont understand everyone elses comments of not working.. Been using this app for over a year, never had a problem and works great on my iPhone 4S and wifes iPhone 5.. Call the support desk to assist with setup and its easy as 1,2,3.
When install this worked but suddenly doesnt work. Please do something.
