How to Change the Camera Layout in the Swann Security App
You can customize the camera layout in the Swann Security app to make it easier to view your cameras. Choose between a single-column or double-column view, change the size of live views, and rearrange the order of your devices. These changes only affect how cameras appear on your current mobile device and do not change your security system's performance.
Things to Know
- Changing the layout only affects the Swann Security app on the current phone or tablet.
- Your layout preferences are not synced to other devices.
- If you log out, reinstall the app, or switch to another phone, you'll need to configure the layout again.
- These settings only change how cameras are displayed. They do not affect recording, streaming quality, or device performance.
