Swann - CoreCam Indoor/Outdoor Wireless 1080p Security Camera - White

Absolutely satisfied

Set this unit up in our backyard to keep an eye on our new dog and any unwanted guests who decide to jump over the fence. Especially like the 2-Way Talk feature to discourage Charlie from digging holes or warning strangers to leave our property. The quality of the night vision is really good too. After one month of use, I'd recommend this camera to anyone wanting easy to install and set-up security with some really useful features.

Upgraded my CAMB battery camera to the new CoreCam last weekend and was pleasantly surprised with how far Swann have come with the technology. Live stream is really quick to load from app and picture quality is brilliant. Battery life seems really good as well, from full charge at installation it has only dropped a few percent. Will easily track to about 4-6 months at this rate. Highly recommend if you are looking for a no fuss easy installation product that actually performs what it is supposed to do!

I got this camera a few months back to trial having a security system. The camera is ok for the money with good video quality and useful features for someone who wants a quick and easy solution. Unfortunately, for me, the slow loading times after motion detection, unreliable motion sensing and the poor masking feature on the app let it down

Hi. Have had these cameras on front and back doors for about 6 weeks. Couple or things. - only starts recording after about 10 seconds after the movement event. This allows the movement generator to get away. Too slow responding. Should be Instantaneous. - unable to delete multiple recordings with only a couple of key strokes. Have to delete one at a time. Takes a while to clear a day at home worth of clips.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you only looking for a camera that sends motion notification and not waiting to deal with running cable, then this type of camera is for you. Just like any battery-operated wireless camera, there are pros and cons to the setup you choose. The pros to this type of cameras are that it simply easy to setup with NO necessary wiring. The cons are no 24hr recording. I guess this should be expected for all battery-operated cameras. Recording 24/7 would just drain the battery. Included with the camera was a 32gb micro-SD card for local recording when motion is detected. It records 15sec clips by default and will continue to record if it still senses motion! There's a notification Tab within the app, which it gives you a list of all motion triggered. The notification list also shows when the camera has generated a clip. The problem with all these notifications is that there is no screen shot taken when these events are triggered. To me this is pointless. When you click on any of this notification, all it does is open the live cameras feed. The camera goes into standby mode after so many second to conserve and extend the battery life. I had this camera running outdoor for 2 weeks and I'm currently at 68%. It holds up against bad weather well. Another pro to this specific camera is that at least you can set detection zone to lessen false notification. If you open the camera to view the live feed, there a 5 – 10 second delay. This might not sound like a long time, but it feels like forever, especially when all you want to do is just view the feed. The image clarity is ok for 1080p resolution, but it pixelated even without zooming. Swann does offer a monthly/annual subscription that can provide additional premium features like 60-day cloud recording, distinguish motion alert by either Person/Pet/Motion, and receive rich notification. Swann offers a 90 day of free trial. Beside the rich notification, personally, I don't think the subscription is worth the added cost. Overall, this camera is OK, but I think it could be better! I probably won't be using this as an outdoor camera, but as an indoor camera in my daughter Playroom where I can check in on her when needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Good. I like the fact that the device is fully wireless and waterproof so that it can be mounted pretty much anywhere. It comes with a drywall mounting kit. The device has to be charged fully before first use and will hold a standard charge. Comes with a 32G Micro SD card for storage. The process to register the app to the device is simple in theory The Bad it is dependent on 2.4 wireless. I struggled getting the device connected to the App and the device would randomly disconnect. I wouldn't use for high traffic areas as it will cause the battery to drain my faster.

I bought this a few weeks ago, and apart from the low quality sound (speakers), the camera has given me nothing but trouble. it keeps disconnecting from the wifi which is close by. Even the doorbell which is further has an 80% connection, where as the camera is 45% at best. This tells me that it's antenna must be cheap rubbish just like the speakers!

Battery died right after 1 year when warranty expires. Bought on 29/7/24, battery went on 8% at 1/8/25 and doesn't charge anymore

Camera only 5 months old and battery only last 10 days after a full charge.
