Multi Server

Swiftcam supports multiple servers, so cameras from different locations can be added.

Availability

  • Multi-server configuration is available in Swiftcam Pro.
  • Without Pro, Swiftcam keeps a single active server setup (Default).
  • The default server cannot be deleted. All others can be deleted by swiping the list item.

Getting started

In the app:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Open Servers.
  3. Tap + to create another server.

Each server can have its own go2rtc, Frigate NVR and Swiftcam Server endpoints.

Connection mode per server

Each server can have a Global and a Wi-Fi endpoint configuration set.

  • Wi-Fi: Only used when current Wi-Fi matches one of the configured SSIDs.
  • Global: Used for all other networks.

Cameras from servers that only have a Wi-Fi endpoint, are not available when outside of the configured network. They can optionally be hidden in the Apperance settings.

Assign cameras to servers

In camera settings (Settings -> Cameras -> add/edit camera):

  • Use the Server picker to select which server that camera uses.
  • API calls for stream playback, snapshots, and events are resolved from the selected server endpoints depending on the connection mode.

This allows mixed setups, for example:

  • Home cameras on one server
  • Vacation home cameras on a second server
  • Office cameras only shown when at the office

When you delete a server or if the Swiftcam Pro subscription expires, the cameras can be reassigned by using the server picker.

Troubleshooting

  • A Wi-Fi-only server appears unavailable:
  • Confirm current SSID is listed exactly in the server's Wi-Fi list.
  • Camera cannot load stream/snapshots:
  • Confirm the camera is assigned to the intended server.
  • Re-run endpoint tests in that server .
