As incidences of theft have continued to climb over the past decade, it's become increasingly vital for homeowners to take personal security into their own hands. Installing cameras is a good way to signal to malicious actors that you're not a good target, while simultaneously providing a way for you to to catch them during or after the act.

The SwannView plus is a digital software which pairs with an extensive array of SwannView camera models, allowing for seamless playback of old video recordings and real time preview of current camera recordings. The cleanly designed app can be instantly and easily paired with most phone and tablet operating systems, providing an intuitive model for home security. Users can easily search up old recordings and customize the footage, double tap to get a closer look, or save real time camera feed to their device.

While many homeowners laud the benefits of simplified home security, SwannView plus is not meant to be a scalable solution for larger businesses. Only four cameras can be paired with the firmware, which is perfect for a small residence yet not appropriate to flesh out the security systems in large and extensively camera recorded buildings. Some users complain that the software isn't updated frequently enough to account for iPhone or Android updates, resulting in frustrating bugs and poor load times.

Overall, the SwannView Plus is a great introductory app for those just diving into the world of personal security. For many, the limited options and multi camera view provides an simple way to make sure their home is safe at all times. Most describe the software as a friendly-to-use system that touts an incredibly supportive development team.
