Easily monitor your property
HomeSafe View is a free security tool that only works with Swann DVR models, such as the DVRx-1590, NVRx-7450, and many more. It supports multichannel viewing of up to 16 security cameras. As it allows for live viewing, you can monitor your property for odd behavior and potential intruders without leaving your room.
HomeSafe View also lets you pan, tilt, or zoom (PTZ) the cameras, allowing you to keep tabs on your loved ones and pets even if you’re not at home. However, it’s best if you own the latest model of your device if you want high-resolution video playbacks.
View live footage with a tap
To manually add a DVR product In HomeSafe View, tap “Device” and the plus icon. Then, fill out the necessary information and touch “Save.” Alternatively, you can add a unit by scanning the QR code. You can also record camera footage and play it on your device. However, doing the latter requires a fast internet connection. 3G and 4G connections are viable, too.
Although your provider will consider camera footage as downloads. In that case, it doesn’t hurt to be extra mindful of your network’s data plans and limits, so you won’t have to pay surcharges. The calendar, on the other hand, lets you view footage from a certain day of the month. The app includes various split-screen layouts, so you have a better view of your property.
Further, it comes with three image quality settings: Mainstream, Substream, and Mobile Stream. Selecting either one, though, will affect the overall quality of the live footage and recording. Along with zooming capabilities for live and playback videos, still images can be captured and saved, as well—serving as evidence of criminal activity. Unfortunately, this tool won’t work if you use a different brand or don’t own an app-supported Swann DVR model.
