Enjoy the Convenience and Flexibility a of Powered Wifi Security Camera

Wifi security camera systems wirelessly transmit video signals to an NVR recorder or directly to an app via the cloud, making for easier, faster, less intrusive installation. Powered Wifi security cameras need to be situated within range of a nearby power socket. Swann has wireless security cameras with wifi that can often be mounted inside or outside the home, perfect for monitoring entrances, detached garages, outbuildings, and more.

Getting Started With a Powered Wifi Security Camera
  • How are Wifi CCTV cameras different from wired cameras?

    Wired systems require a cabled connection between the cameras and a recorder box. Powered Wifi security cameras must connect to a power socket but then transmit video and audio using Wifi. Typically, Powered Wifi home security cameras record video clips that are shorter in length compared to their wired counterparts, which can stream video clips of any length.

  • Do I need a power source for my Wifi security cameras?

    Yes. Powered Wifi security cameras require a power socket nearby to operate. They transmit their video and audio wirelessly via the local Wifi network.

  • How can I add additional Wifi home security cameras to my system?

    Many of our powered Wifi systems come with four or five security cameras, but it’s possible to purchase add-on cameras to expand your surveillance area. These cameras are designed to connect to your existing surveillance system.

  • How do I see the video footage?

    You can see live and recorded video on the Swann Security app. Some Powered Wifi security cameras can connect to an NVR that can in turn connect to a TV for easy video viewing via an HDMI port.

  • How many cameras can I use in a powered Wifi home security system?

    The SecureAlert series can combine up to 8 powered wifi cameras. Multiple standalone powered wifi cameras, such as the 2KI and 2KO, can be combined, although it's important your home has enough Wifi bandwidth to accommodate them.

  • What internet speed do I need for a Wifi security camera system?

    Wifi enabled Swann devices work well with at least 1Mbps of upload bandwidth, although 2Mbps or greater is ideal. With the addition of a wireless security camera with wifi, you can ensure that even the most remote areas of your property are monitored effectively.
