Easy way to fix Swann cameras not detecting motion and recording. When you update the DVR software it can affects the settings of your cameras. When you have a problem with the camera not recording, you could try to load the default settings.
The unit I am showing in this video is DVR8-4575.

Didn't work for me. Proved that it was the Camera sensor not working. Also a tip: Don't but Swann. Support is crap. Had heaps of problems over a previous camera fault. Looking for an alternative camera.

In my case my system capture movemente and everything (It blinks when someone passes by). My problem is with my app, it keeps loading and loading and never let me see what my cameras are recording.

You only need to set alarm, it defaults to sensitivity 5 so if motion is still not working try setting it to 8 the highest setting.

Mine only records some of it but not everything. My wife went to the store and it didn't record her leave. I got a clip of her bringing stuff in from her car afterwards. Then another clip of her bringing more things in from her car But no clip of her going back to her car

I wanted to set up email and when I test it it says failed ? What did I do wrong?

@2009captainpaul 4 жыл бұрын

Shea... It will be an authentication error with the email provider that is touted as working with the Swann DVR's but, the DVR has a hard time talking to the email provider (Google, Gmail, Yahoo that Swann want us to use). You will need to log into the email provider on a computer, settings, then sniff about to find the section "Sign in using App Passwords". An App Password is a 16-digit passcode that gives a non-Google/Gmail/Yahoo app or device permission to access your Google/Gmail/Yahoo Account. From memory I think you need to have 2-Step Verification turned on. Cant remember. The email provider will give you a random 16 digit password which you type into the password field in the Swann DVR and you should be good to go. I had the same problem with a new Gmail account setup specifically for the Swann DVR only just last week but gave up on that and ended up using my really old Yahoo email address. Once I configured Yahoo as above and was provided with the 16 digit password everything worked fine. Hope that helps 😃.

You need to set your Gmail security settings to allow less secure apps.

I used to can open Homesafe View app away from home within 5 seconds when we were with AT&T with 50mbps internet and now that with Comcast running 900mbps yet the app open in almost 1 minute even I am in the full 5G signal zone. At home with WIFI, the app open is super-fast though. Xfi router is already open port with 9000 same as At&T router. Calling Comcast but they have no idea. Wondering what else I can do? Thanks.

It's a shit product, massively inconsistent as missing detection. In most recent incident going out this eve and 1 camera didn't pick me up locking door, the other camera as me standing within driveway and the other returning three hrs later & unlocking front door.
