### 2/5 — Camera is good, software is funky

*2026-05-16, version 1.1.7*

As usual with most of these Chinese products I buy the software is full of bugs and the support is almost nonexistent

### 2/5 — Camera Performance

*2025-08-23, version 1.1.7*

Stopped working after about a year. 
When it did work, it was all right, but took a little too long to connect  I only used it when reversing into a tight spot. But now it doesn’t work at all.

### 1/5 — iOS 18.4.1 (22E252)

*2025-05-04, version 1.1.7*

The cam doesn’t work with this new operating system. I purchased a new iPhone 16 with current iOS 18.4.1 & the app doesn’t work no picture on the application, phone connects to wifi signal but when opening the swd app the picture is not showing up on the phone screen. I Tried older phones with older  iOS and works fine please let me know how to fix this as I use the app every day for truck loading.

Thank you

### 1/5 — Used to work but not now

*2024-10-06, version 1.1.7*

I used this for a backup camera. Used to work. Turn on camera. On phone, select wifi for the camera, open this app and see what the camera sees. I’m doing all the same steps and getting an error message that I haven’t selected the wifi. No image now. Makes backup camera useless.

### 4/5 — SWD camera not very bright

*2024-10-05, version 1.1.7*

I have the SWD camera and app. The combination works well, my only complaint is the picture on the iPhone is not very bright. Is there a way to make it brighter? I have the brightness turned all the way up.

### 1/5 — Ne marche plus

*2024-08-29, version 1.1.7*

Depuis 8 jour sa dit .. impossible de se connecter au réseau

### 4/5 — Fais sont job

*2024-07-05, version 1.1.7*

Pas trop mauvais mais manque juste de pouvoir régler l’aide de stationnement

### 1/5 — Won’t see WIFI

*2024-05-26, version 1.1.7*

Useless cannot see or login to WiFi

### 4/5 — Horse trailer

*2024-05-16, version 1.1.7*

I installed this in my horse trailer, to be able to see my horses while I travel down the road. Other models will not get a signal to my pick up cab. This camera with its external antenna does a great job!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-02-10, version 1.1.7*

No recent reviews, but looks like software does not work with the camera. The app and camera don’t talk, so no picture. I essentially bought an expensive, high security-risk paperweight.
