Not impressed

I brought this in January and it has the worst battery life... First time I got 7 weeks and it has to be charged every couple of weeks now wouldn't even give 1 star, am very disappointed... It sucks!

Poor Battery Life

Purchased earlier this year (2025) and have found the battery life to be very poor, lasting only 14-16 days at a time. Sorry, but I could not recommend this product.

Works like a dream!

I bought this 2 years ago! It's our first doorbell camera ever and we LOVE it!! I love that we can save videos, we an respond with preloaded messages or use the microphone! It is reliable and recharges quickly. It is great security and we won the jackpot choosing this as our first doorbell camera! It was super easy to put up too!

Good product

It does frustrate me a little that it says 'device waking' a lot and takes about 30secs to 1min to tell me on my phone of someone is at the door. Would also be good to have a light that would help when you arrive home so you can open the door easier. Otherwise great product.

Generally satisfied

I bought this doorbell to replace the wired Ring doorbell that I've had for several years. Pros: ? I like that it has its own Micro SD slot to keep local recordings ? I like that I don't have to pay Ring $$ every month for access to my own security videos ? I am using it wired to my old doorbell wiring (required voltage 12 to 24 volts AC; you must use your own voltmeter to measure this), so I am not troubled with the battery issues that other reviewers complain of ? It installed easily onto the base of my old Ring doorbell. ? Videos can be downloaded and shared quickly and easily, unlike Ring which thinks they own them. CONS ? It is a bit laggy compared to the Ring ? It does not offer the ability to define the field of view (ignoring the sidewalk and cars passing on the street) like the Ring has. ? It is big, bigger than the Ring, which is perhaps due to it having a battery inside it. ? You must pay $19 extra for the plate angling the doorbell up or down; this is included for free with the Ring

Won't pair to wifi

Very poor quality, failed after 14 months. Worked ok for about 10 months then battery kept going flat and wouldn't pair with wifi.

Poor battery life

Terrible battery life, spends more time on charge than on the wall. Sick of charging it. Wish I'd just stuck with a normal doorbell and added an extra camera to sour main system instead

Glitchy with Constant Errors

Every update, comes with an error and a phone call to Swann. Memory storage failed, replaced, and formatted---audio for commands/voice not matching max volume settings, can barely hear it.

Does not connect with existing chime when hard wire and needs to be rebooted often

I have to reboot the door camera often since the installation. I had ring before in another home which worked much better.

Poor battery life

Features are good, but too slow to respond to be useful

To view this camera on the app, it's so slow that between the time I get a notification and can actually see anything on the app it's gone, so quite useless really. I've updated the software and have to constantly reset it as the app keeps on disconnecting from the app, as do my other Swann cameras on the app.

Best cameras ever

I would never buy any other brand. I've always bought sure because they are sure to perform. I've been using shore cameras for over 10 years now and never had a problem. The best camera I bought was recently a doorbell camera. The quality is just amazing. I can talk through it. I can set an alarm off. It's just great and it's wireless with a long life battery so you don't need to have it. Hardwired into the wall, you should get one.

Have been using this door bell camera for 12 months, however the last few weeks I've had to charge it constantly sometimes twice a week. The battery seems to be very poor after a while.

Keeping me feeling safe!

By Gollyitslolly

Last month there was an attempted break in at my house, this little doorbell captured the faces very clearly and deterred the crooks from getting in. The police have the videos, it was 1am pitch dark but the camera worked a treat. Very happy thank you swan.

By sallyfan

Good price; great features; easy to follow setup guide, straightforward mounting, free recordings with bonus micro sd card, no monthly fees, built in mic picks up a lot of sound, bonus speaker for back of the house reach, can?t comment about battery life yet as I haven?t owned it long enough to evaluate.
