I currently have a Swann NVR 7400 with 8 Swann cameras attached.
I have been using Swann CCTV for over 15 years, so I know all about their products and their customer support.
What I find very frustrating about this system, is the lack of reliable remote access when I am away from the house, using excellent 4g, 5g or super fast broadband .
I have had some suggestions from Forum members on here and I have spent numerous hours on the phone to Swann Support. I just think they will never admit they have a serious problem with remote viewing. I use apps such as Swannview Link, Alwaysafe and even Reolink apps for both Android and IOS and we are lucky to access the system 1 out of 10 times, so totally useless to me now. Apart from this one issue, I have absolutely no other issues, which is a shame.
So to be honest, I passed the point of any more suggestions on how to fix or do more troubleshooting, it's been going on for years and I reckon I have tried just about everything under every scenario possible .
So I'm going to sell this Swann system and I want a SIMPLE reliable alternative. Hikvision pops up a lot in my research, but very mixed reviews and some up and coming Chinese brands, such as Annke and Sannce and of course Reolink.
Can anyone recommend a reliable NVR system that is good for remote access.
My real concern is, if I do buy another system and have rubbish remote access, then I'm buggered again. Bearing in mind most of these systems are all the same and just branded accordingly
Thanks in advance for any suggestions .
