Great little Cameras, live on a rural property in outer Melb, lots of trees and obstructions, extended WiFi is as great as suggested so also purchased one of the bigger ones for a more remote area on my site

Rocky start.
Hmmmm. Purchased in October. One of the mini cameras was intermittently faulty right out of the box. Swann did replace the faulty unit at no cost to me but I felt it took an unreasonable amount of effort by me to achieve this. Fault was reported on 19th Oct, replacement camera received 5th Nov. I find it disappointing that the support process is nowhere near as responsive as the sales process. I had to constantly follow-up to determine what was going on. Perhaps my expectations are unrealistic? MaxRanger hub software is responsible, seems stable. I suspect it is targeted at online powered cameras and can be confusing when using report by exception batteries cameras as displayed information is often stale. As I’m a left hand mouse user and the primary and secondary mouse buttons are not to my liking and I have not found a way to swap the buttons. iOS app is err flaky at best, plenty of room for improvement here. Pairing the app on my iPad with the hub was a challenge as the QR scan scanner function did not work and MxRanger hub was not available to select when pairing manually. I did manage to get my iPad paired in the end but not sure how I did it. Also many features in the app such as adjusting the PIR sensitivity based on the selected mode does not seem to work with the MaxRanger hub. I’m still investigating this, perhaps this functionality is not applicable to the MaxRanger hub? Both cameras installed now and system is performing adequately, nervous about hardware longevity. House is an average size suburban house so no issues with RSSI and I like the fact that the system is not taking to much bandwidth on home Wifi.
Hello Bryce, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we’re glad that the replacement camera arrived and that your MaxRanger system is now performing adequately. We completely understand your frustration with the support process. It shouldn’t take repeated follow-ups to resolve an issue, and your feedback helps us identify where we can improve responsiveness. Regarding the hub and app experience, you’re right that some features can behave differently depending on whether the camera is battery-powered or mains-powered, and some advanced settings like PIR sensitivity adjustments may not be fully supported on battery cameras with the hub. We also note your comments about pairing challenges, QR scanner functionality, and left-hand mouse usability, these are all valid points for improvement, and your input will help inform future updates to make the system more user-friendly. It’s great to hear that signal strength and bandwidth usage are not an issue in your home. Your concern about hardware longevity is understandable; with proper care, the MaxRanger system is designed to be reliable over time, and our support team is always available to assist should any issues arise. If you encounter any further difficulties or need clarification on app features, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at tech@swann.com. We’re here to help and ensure your system continues to meet your expectations. Your feedback is truly appreciated. Mary - Swann Team

Clunky system
The cameras were ok but kinda difficult to see if they were working. Also, the app is very buggy and slow

Make sure you have the charger in the box
It did not come with a charging coard no slot to insert SD Card,only records sometimes does not catch most activity unless it is very close, also can not hear anyone who is talking. I figured I could buy the charger separate but no charger fit it the tip is too short to fit in the slot
Hi Denisse, <br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate you outlining your concerns, and we’d like to clarify a few points to help address them.<br /><br />Regarding charging, the cameras do not include a separate USB wall charger. However, a USB to USB-C charging cable is included in the box. This cable can be connected to most standard USB wall chargers you may already have at home, or alternatively, to the USB port located on the back of the Base Station. This approach is part of our effort to reduce electronic waste, as many customers already own compatible USB chargers.<br /><br />In relation to storage, the cameras themselves do not have an SD card slot. The MicroSD card slot is located on the back of the Base Station, and a MicroSD card is already pre-installed at the factory. This is where recordings are stored, so no additional SD card installation is required.<br /><br />We’re sorry to hear about your experience with motion detection and audio. If motion is only being detected at close range or audio is unclear, our support team would be happy to help you adjust the sensitivity and audio settings to improve performance.<br /><br />Please feel free to reach out to us at tech@swann.com so we can assist you further and ensure you get the best possible experience from your system.<br /><br />Your feedback is important to us, and we truly appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention.<br /><br />Mary - Swann Team
"Included Accessories" Not Included
The product description says: "Included Accessories: 1 x rechargeable backup battery for Power Hub, ... HDMI Cable, ... Mouse, ... Theft deterrent stickers" - none of which were included. Most importantly for me was that I understood by mentioning an HDMI cable that the hub had an HDMI port to connect to my TV. Nope, no HDMI port.
Hi Zenos, <br /><br />Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we sincerely apologize for the confusion caused by the product description.<br /><br />You are correct that the Base Station does not have an HDMI port and does not support direct connection to a TV or monitor. Because of this, accessories such as an HDMI cable, mouse, rechargeable backup battery for a Power Hub, and theft deterrent stickers are not included with the Base Station package.<br /><br />Those accessories are associated with a different system that includes a Power Hub with HDMI output. We understand how the mention of an HDMI cable in the description could reasonably lead to the expectation that an HDMI port would be available, and we’re sorry for the frustration this caused, especially as this feature was important to you.<br /><br />Your feedback is extremely valuable, and we will ensure it is shared with our team so the product description can be reviewed and made clearer to prevent similar misunderstandings in the future.<br /><br />If you have any questions about your current system or would like help exploring alternative options that better suit your needs, please don’t hesitate to contact us at tech@swann.com. We’re here to help.<br /><br />Mary - Swann Team
