Over the past couple of years we’re really seen a surge in the number of completely wireless security cameras on the market (that’s camera’s that are battery powered and transmit video via Wi-Fi). These cameras offer great convenience as they are very quick to install and move around if needed and you could go weeks without having to recharge them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking to install a camera in position that’s a little less convenient then you’ll need to get one that uses plug-in power. The new Outdoor Secrutiy Camera<\/a> from Swann fits this situation nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Swann asked if I wanted to review this new smart camera I had just the right spot in mind to test it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Out the front of my house the perfect spot for a security camera is about 3 meters up, so requires a ladder for access…a big, long, clunky to move around, heavy ladder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installing a battery operated camera here would not be ideal (unless you paired it with a solar panel – which you can do) and in this case access to plug in power was quite easy as there are various power points under the house so it was just a matter of feeding the power cable down and under. This is where Swann’s outdoor security camera is really great, as it comes with 18 meters of power cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is that the camera was reasonably easy to install (not a fan of ladders but I had someone holding it for me) and I don’t need to worry about having to keep it charged up thanks to the connected power. As this is one of Swann’s smart cameras I can also view it live from the SAFE by Swann App on my phone or though my Google Home Hub device. If you have a Google connected smart TV you can also view your video feed there or on an Alexa screen device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other great features of this camera include motion and heat sensing, plus night vision to the range of 30 meters. Perfect for the driveway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Swann Wi-Fi Outdoor Security Camera costs $199 (or $379 for a two pack). Get full details at
