  • In this video, we go through the setup of the Swann Security HomeSafe View Windows PC software, including some basic system configuration.
    A lot have people have reported that they love their Swann Security CCTV system but have no clue how to set it up. Hopefully, this video will go a long way in making that a little easier. Swann makes very good quality affordable systems, so make sure you get the most out of it and set it up correctly, the first time!!

    Great job dude... it took me less than 10 minutes to be up and running 100% after watching your video. Thanks for the "to the point" guidance and walking a straight line through the process. I sure appreciate not being bludgeoned by unnecessary tech. speak and info. overload... Well Done!

    Thanks so much for this video! I'm not sure why it's so hard to find info from Swann. They make a great system. It sure would be nice for them to add simple videos like this right on the product page or in the system itself.

    • @brichards2452
      @brichards2452 Před 3 lety

      I do so agree! Oh my goodness! ZanyGeek fixed all my problems in one go with this video. The simplicity and clarity in which he explains the setting up of the Swann Homesafe View app exceeds my expectation. Thank you ZG! Perhaps Swann can hire/consult with you on how to do it. Incidentally, Swann Communications couldnt. ZG, have you done one for "Swann Secruity app"? Let us know, please.

    I have swann system for almost 4 years now. I've also changed and added up pc to remotely view it. Sometimes it is a breeze to config and sometimes it is very hard for it doesn't populate easy like what he showed. Using the same steps I have to repeat it so many times or leave it for the next day and I believe I get lucky and it works. Somebody should show the steps in a very methodical way like if s/n dont show up, then tell us what's to do next.

    Well, after being told by Swann chat that the only way to monitor my DVR8-5580 is only through the app and there no way to view it on a pc, I came across your video. I figure what the heck, had already wasted a few hours, whats a few more minutes. I was pleasantly surprised to see the camera appear. Thank you for making the video. While the Swann UI is poorly done you at least make it possible to get it working.

      I think this is because mainstream (when you have 1 video showing) displays at full resolution and the rest of the cameras are your substream. The resolution for substream is capped but you can increase the frame rate and bitrate for those.

      Do not expect Swann to be of any help whatsoever. They can’t even be bothered to put basic instructions in the box (but you do get a ‘nice’ sticker), let alone enough instruction to wade through the complex and un-user friendly set-up of HomeSafe View, relying instead on people like ZG to do it for them. Even this does not cover half of what seems to need to be set. I have had mine over a year now and still not got a handle on it. Still can’t get basic motion detection alerts on my phone (plenty telling me that cameras I don’t have are off line!!) I have no idea how the mobile app and the HS V app interact, but get nothing usable from either really.
      I occasionally like to waste a day of my life trying to get this crap to work, and like Dave C, I haven’t given up yet but still might, either that or lob the whole lot out the window.
      Thanks to ZG for this video, which I did use when I first found it last year to set the system up, but an explanation of the various other settings, what they do and what changing them will achieve would be more than welcome. Thank you.
