Money can’t buy peace of mind, so they say, but with a Swann security camera, it turns out that a) you can and b) it doesn’t even cost that much money. Swann has been making security cameras for years and has a wealth of knowledge and experience garnered from making fully wired security systems.
So, the fact Swann is now stepping up to wireless smart cameras is a big deal. Its latest flagship product in this competitive field is Xtreem and it’s sure to make waves. Here are five great reasons why you should upgrade your smart home security to Swann Xtreem…
1. Swann are the security specialists
As we just said, Swann has been making security systems for years. It’s not a tech start-up trying to push a new smart home gadget, it’s a proper security company. Although, to be fair, it is pushing a new smart home gadget here. It’s just a very secure one. To that end, Xtreem is not just a camera; it’s also packed with additional security features, including Swann’s proprietary ‘Tru-Detect’ heat and motion-sensing technology. This picks up intruders or potential intruders accurately, and doesn’t get distracted by cats, or crisp packets being blown on the breeze.
2. Xtreem is completely wireless
Thanks to a powerful battery and Wi-Fi connectivity, Xtreem requires no wiring or drilling whatsoever. That makes it incredibly easy to install, and means it can be placed pretty much anywhere. It’s also easily moved when required. There’s no hub required, taking the load off your router’s ethernet ports.
3. Xtreem has MASSIVE battery life
Point #2 above would not be of much use if Xtreem needed recharging every week. Instead, the built-in 13,200mAh Lithium battery means it can last for up to six months before charging is required. Six months!
4. Xtreem has great image quality
Incredible 1080p full HD video means you can easily pick out faces, logos on clothing, labels on boxes and more. As well as crystal clear detail, there’s a super-wide 110º viewing angle, so you can really see what’s going on out there (or indoors). There’s also infra-red night vision, of course. This lets you see at night, up to an impressive 8 metres away.
5. Xtreem is incredibly easy to use
Setup is simple and so is day-to-day use. Just stream footage to your phone or any Google Home or Alexa device with a screen. If you have Google Home or Alexa, you can also use control Xtreem with your voice.
6. …And of course, it’s got everything else you expect from a smart camera in 2021
2-Way Talk means you can greet guests, talk to pets, or take a rather sterner line with would-be intruders. Fully ready for the not-so-great outdoors, Xtreem is weatherproof, with an IP56 Rating. This camera can withstand rain, snow, and summer sun, giving you protection and peace of mind all year around. You also get free recordings to the Xtreem’s memory card plus a 1-day cloud back-up. If you need more, 60 days is available via an additional monthly fee.
