Dont recommened

Had this camera for 5 months. Was working well until Swann did a update and now it wont record and live feed is intermittent. Numinous phone calls to swann support each time had to go though same procedure everytime and still not fixed. In the end Swann gave me a RA number to return it. Have brought a reolink now

Buy a Reolink instead

Got this for my place thinking I would only need to run a small power cable to the nearest hotpoint. No. Despite this being advertised as a WiFi camera, Swann have for some reason put a massive RJ45 plug and gland on the camera and the cable meaning you need to drill 25mm holes to hook this up. -The picture quality is nothing on the cheaper Reolinks. -It constantly says it has low WiFi despite having full bars. -There is no option to view live footage or any cloud-stored videos on a PC. This camera will only work with the Android/iOs app. -In the 48 hours since it's been installed, I've had multiple videos that aren't playable due to "C...view more

Don't rely on this camera for security

I have 2 of these WiFi spot cameras and fortunately only installed 1. Twice now the camera has lost connection and can't be remotely rebooted. It's a fat lot of good if to fix the problem if like me you are remote monitoring a property and would have to drive 600miles to fix it. Everything else on the WiFi system is connected and the router reports a good signal to to camera. A secondary problem you might consider before buying the WiFi spotcam, the cable on the camera is short and to get the connections inside the property required drilling a 20mm hole to get the connectors through and I doubt they would extend through a UK standard cavity wall. Look elsewhere.

Easy set up, good video but no privacy with app

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Set up was fairly simple, I chose the wifi set up. I downloaded the app but I was not a fan that I had to give them access to everything on my phone (camera, audio, contacts, location, etc) to create an account. I tried to mark no on all of it but it would not let me make an account. So strike one there. I hooked up the security camera to my front door. The motion detection worked well, and the video quality during the day worked well, the video at night was okay. I couldn't figure out when the spotlight would come on. Con: if you get too far away from the device with my phone it no longer is paired. So not not bad but not great. I have no other security systems to compare to this.

good size - not too bulky but can be seen

Glad to have purchased this and JB you did it again SMASH the price was $40 lower than everyone else! It picks up movement well and night and day recording is great. Sound pick up is too sensitive for a street view mount but it could be useful elsewhere. app is easy to set up use and modify settings. Does not need a PVR so it is a cheap way to get your camera set up with a reputable brand.

Would love to love this camera

It has all the features that I want such as a spotlight, ethernet connection and free cloud recording however as many reviews have stated recently there are too many connection issues. I have three of these cameras, two are no longer usable as they continually reboot during the pairing process. I am 100% confident the third will stop working shortly. I have been fiddling with these cameras for nearly 6 months trying to get them to work reliably. When they do work, they are great however at this point they are about to be put in the garbage. Case 00373887.

very bad security camera , No Value for money

could not pass camera junction from external wall . People needs to drill big hole in external wall . Could not pass cable up to hole size (25mm) in external wall . could get very foggy picture at night duo to both spotlight (once it on), If spotlight switched off then could get black & white picture. and not clear picture. could not download picture /video from Swann app to our mobile . Swann Security App only works in mobile , it does not work with PC . This is not really helpful .
