Error: The device you are trying to pair is already registered to another account
If you see the message “The device you are trying to pair is already registered to another account” when adding your Swann camera or recorder, it means the device is already linked to another Swann Security account. To resolve it, you’ll need to unpair the device from the original account before pairing it to a new one.
Common Questions / Variations
- Why does my Swann device say it’s already registered?
- How do I unpair a Swann camera from another account?
- Can I move my Swann device to a different account?
Unpair Your Device from the Other Account
- Open Swann Security app and log in to the account where the device is currently paired.
- Tap on then select your device, then tap
Once unpaired, go back to your own account then pair the device.
Can’t find which account it’s paired to / Can't reach the previous owner?

Summary & Next Steps
If you see the error “The device you are trying to pair is already registered to another account,” it means the device is still linked elsewhere. Unpair it from the original account, then re-add it to yours to complete setup.
