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.

I really like the system
I really like the system and generally works very well very simple to put together and install my reason for not giving five stars. It very often has long delays between motion and record but for my first security system overall very good

It said delivery in days
It said delivery in days, got email to say dispatch day 20th. Now 29th have emailed no reply. Still nothing has arrived. Concerned as it is a lot of money for 1 camera and nothing after 3 weeks and not able to contact them either. No reply from emails, or online complaint form, 35 minutes on hold finally got off shore answer, they dont know where my order is, and said they will email me tomorrow after they find out. I suspect that will not happen. Might have to contact my bank for refund...

We sincerely apologize for the delay and the lack of timely communication. We want to be transparent that the delay is due to our ongoing warehouse relocation. While this move is aimed at improving our service in the long run, it has unfortunately impacted our current shipping timelines.

If you would prefer not to wait any longer, please feel free to reply to the email we sent, and we’ll be more than happy to arrange a full refund for you.
We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this time, and we’re very sorry again for the inconvenience caused. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything further, we can assist you with. We're here to help.

There is no service after you buy product. No repair service. Bought product best buys. No installation this was first red flag. Have had issues with camera. Called them ( when they answered,) They read a script and try to fiqure out. I told them the camera not working. 5 calls later they told me camera not working. I had to cut the camera and send it before I received a new one. So many other issues. Now DVR not working, shut down. I tried calling Swann AI refereed me to go on line. You have to BUY A SUBSRIPTION for them to get back to you. I went to three places to look at the DVR. All said they cannot work on it; even best buys where i purchased it. So know I am looking to purchase a new system
DO NOT BUY SWANN

Hello Ralph,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for the difficulties you’ve encountered, not just with the products, but also with the level of support and communication you received. That’s not the experience we want for our customers, and we’re very sorry for the inconvenience and stress this has caused.
We can see that there have been multiple support tickets created for your concern. It appears that we’ve sent follow-up emails, but we may not have received a response, which led to the tickets being automatically closed after 7 days.
We’d really like the chance to turn this experience around. We will be reaching out to your email again so we can gather the necessary details, and work with you toward the best possible resolution.
Thank you for your patience and for giving us another opportunity to assist you. Your feedback is truly appreciated.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We completely understand how disappointing it must feel to experience delays, especially when paired with communication that didn’t meet your expectations. That’s not the level of service we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologize if it came across as though we didn’t care. That’s never our intention.
We want to be transparent in the email we've sent that we’ve recently been in the process of relocating our warehouse. While this move is meant to improve our service in the long run, it has unfortunately caused delays in order processing and shipping timelines. We understand that this has directly impacted your experience, and we’re very sorry for the inconvenience it caused.
We truly appreciate your patience during this time, and we regret that we weren’t able to meet your expectations before you decided to go with another option. If there’s anything we can still do to make this right, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
Thank you again for your honest feedback. It helps us improve and do better moving forward.

Apple Pay Checkout Error, Poor Resolution
2 stars.
I ordered solar panels from Swann on Saturday and selected Apple Pay at checkout. The order paid immediately and did not give me a proper chance to confirm or change the shipping address. It was sent to the wrong address in the wrong state.
I contacted support right away and sent the corrected address. On Monday morning, they asked for the new address again, so I sent it again. I received no meaningful response, and by noon I got a shipping confirmation showing it had still been sent to the wrong address.
When I called support, I was told nothing could be done because the shipping label had already been created. I then had to pay to get it shipped to the right place, involve a friend to handle the transactions, and deal with this dragging on for weeks.
The company’s service deserves 1 star. The only reason I am giving 2 stars is because Mehl did their best, but it was obvious they were limited in what they were allowed to do.

Hi Tim,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We truly understand how inconvenient this situation must have been, especially when it involves something as important as your order’s delivery details.
We sincerely apologize for the trouble caused. Once an order has been shipped and a label has been created, we’re unfortunately unable to make changes to the shipping address. We know this isn’t the outcome you were hoping for, and we completely understand how this may have added extra stress on your end.
To help provide an alternative solution, we’ve arranged a refund option for you. We kindly ask that you check your email for the return instructions sent by our customer service team member, Mhel, who has been assisting with your case.
Please know that we genuinely value your feedback, and we’re taking this as an opportunity to improve both our checkout process and post-order support. If there’s anything further, we can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to response to the email we've sent. We’re here to help.

Generally good quality and the app is straightforward to install . there were no screws with the angled wall plate to attach the camera fixing plate too. These are tiny screws and were not included in the kit. Swann took ten days to send it so these are the reasons for only three stars

Hi Pete,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear that you found the camera generally good in quality and that the app was straightforward to install, but we're sorry for the inconvenience caused by the missing screws and the delay in sending them.

Biggest issues still never got addressed. The fact is, that these cameras keep burning out. No matter what ,I'm still stuck with the same DVR recorder that doesn't work never could link it up never can control it always goes back to the same setting so would not recommend after all sorry.
