Swann NVR camera cloud content
Hi folks,
A little stumped over here with my Swann NVR cameras setup to Dropbox.
I have two cameras (Driveway and Garage) setup to push content to Dropbox, however I am only able to receive/send content from Driveway camera?
I have disconnected, rebooted NVR and cameras, unlinked account to Swann and reinstall app etc.
I have reached out to Swann, going round in circles.
I also tried to manually add folder "Garage" as a subfolder to no avail!?
It should be all done automatically as per "Driveway" folder below.
The line of folders is Apps > Swann Security > NVR8-8580 > 20211205 > Driveway > Picture/video
I should have the exact subfolder system for "Garage"
Thanks for any help.

Thats something that Swann's app itself needs to do - you cannot 'force' it I'm afraid 😞
Have you asked Swann if its possible to have 2 different systems running via the one app?
- Yes, I suspected it may be Swann related, after 18months of ownership I must say it’s a pretty subpar brand from hardware and particularly software/app based on what I have noticed with several glitches on and off with app especially when it links up to Dropbox.
I assumed my NVR was counted as 1 device regardless at how many cameras were connected. I have 2 out of connected. Seems odd to only be able to have 1 camera push to cloud with no option to select and dedicate which camera is pushed to clouds.
I have escalated my case to senior tech for further evaluation. We wait and see.
Thanks for you input!
