Ok but not without its issues

The DVR system works well but the android 10 app is poor. I can't see the menu on any android phone, on any network. It seems a flaw with either the DVR or the app design. Called tech support who says it's a connection issue but then how can I live stream without issues, the fact that I've tried so many connection types and 2 phones also.. please fix as you can see the below photo shows a menu but no listings . . . Please advise Swann??
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us and providing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience when remotely accessing your unit using Android 10. This is not a reported issue with the Swann Security application. Is your unit using the latest firmware update? If so, you will have to use the latest app Swann Security for remote access. The HomeSafe View application will be used on units with the earlier firmware version.
Please call in with our support team and provide the firmware version you are running and the application being used. They will confirm if this is the proper setup.
Excellent picture quality and field of view but very poor setup instructions just basic quick start. Not much use to a 77 year old technophobe like me. So just got basic screen view and unable to connect to other devices due to lack of information other than connect to router which is not practical in my situation so no other way of connecting to WI-Fi indicated in instructions. Can down load a manual which is very long and and precludes printing so again not very user friendly.
I would recommend this to a friend!
