Very clear camera with decent motion detection notifications
on June 25, 2026
Posted by: Chennyc
Thoroughly impressed - very clear recordings (both night and day, as well as live view) and prompt alerts for movement. Relatively easy install as well. Definitely recommend this if you're looking for a set and forget home security system.
Whats more, there's no on going subscription necessary - unlike pretty much every other major brand. So whilst it might seem slightly more expensive upfront, it won't cost you anymore to run the system. Plus an SD card is already included for local recording storage, and you can always swap it out for larger capacity.
The only drawback is the wifi connectivity. It takes a little bit of time setting up and optimising the connection (as it only runs on 2.4ghz wifi), especially since we have a mesh network where the bands can't be separated. Would have been helpful if there was an option to connect it to a base station which could be cabled via ethernet to the router or connected via 5ghz.

Hello Chenny,
Thank you for sharing such a detailed review. We're delighted to hear that you're impressed with the clear video quality, reliable motion alerts, straightforward installation, and the convenience of local recording without an ongoing subscription. It's great to know that these features have made your experience a positive one, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.
Thank you as well for your constructive feedback regarding Wi-Fi connectivity. This standalone wireless camera is designed to operate on the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band because it offers better range and wall penetration than 5 GHz, helping provide a more stable connection throughout the home. While we understand this can make setup more challenging with some mesh networks that combine both Wi-Fi bands, this design helps ensure reliable performance once connected.
We also appreciate your suggestion regarding an optional base station with Ethernet or 5 GHz connectivity. Swann does offer other security systems that include a base station and support 5 GHz connectivity, although this particular model is designed as a standalone Wi-Fi camera.
Your comments are valuable to us and will be shared with our product team as we continue to improve our products and customer experience. If you ever have any questions or need assistance down the line, feel free to reach out to us anytime. We're here to help.
Your feedback is truly appreciated.

Brilliant camera and love the set and forget.

The camera is brilliant. Anyone know if I can add another one and run them as a pair ?
Response from swann.comBy Mary, Swann Team, April 14, 2026
Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re so pleased to hear that you’re enjoying the camera. It’s great to know it’s performing brilliantly for you.
In terms of adding another camera, that’s absolutely possible. You can pair an additional compatible camera directly to the Swann Security app, allowing you to monitor both cameras together and view the live feeds at the same time. It’s a convenient way to expand your coverage and keep everything in one place.
If you need any guidance with pairing or choosing the right camera to add, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at tech@swann.com. We’re always here to help.
Your feedback is truly appreciated.

Nice WiFi camera, Rubbish security device
on March 7, 2026
Posted by: ADM1
Apart from the fact that it only detects when someone is less than 2 metres away and moving (you can sneak in by taking 1 metre steps and waiting for a few seconds), SO IT IS USELESS AND NOT FIT FOR FUNCTION. The set up worked very well. I increased the detection sensitivity and it made little difference. Should just be renamed to nice WiFi camera.

Xtreem4K Eco Wireless Security Camera with Solar Panel
on January 27, 2026
Posted by: Bruiser
Great unit, extremely happy but picks up vehicles 30 to 40 metres away but wont pick up people movement outside 2 metres.
Response from swann.comBy Mary, Swann Team, January 27, 2026
Hi Bruce,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that you’re extremely happy with the unit overall. At the same time, we understand your concern regarding motion detection, particularly that vehicles are being detected at longer distances while people are only detected within a much shorter range. Motion sensitivity can be influenced by factors such as camera placement, detection zones, and sensitivity settings, and we’d be happy to help you fine-tune these to better suit your environment.
If you’d like assistance optimizing the detection for people movement, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us anytime. We're here to help.

Don't place behind a window!
on January 14, 2026
Posted by: kaccij_6919
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I initially got this camera to place inside looking out my living room windows since I was living in apartments and unable to mount them outside. This worked great during the day, but unfortunately the infrared lights on them caused a massive glare at night and made the camera completely useless after dark and there was no settings to turn the IR lights off. Luckily the mount for the camera worked as a regular stand so I was able to set it on the window ledge. Other than the IR issue, this camera is amazing! So many great features are included and the color mode for nighttime i think works even better than the black and white! The solar power is a huge bonus since I don't have outdoor outlets and it works great even with several days of rain! I was also offered a 90 day free trial of their highest tier monthly subscription service for home surveillance. I did not opt to use it, but the offer was very generous and may be worthwhile to some! You can't go wrong with this camera, just make sure you don't place them behind a window! Lol

Hi Kacci,
Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review. We’re glad to hear that the camera performed well during the day and that you found the overall features, color night mode, and solar charging especially useful. It’s great to know the solar panel continued to perform reliably even through several days of rain.
You’re absolutely right about infrared lights and window placement. IR reflection on glass can cause glare at night, and we appreciate you pointing that out for other customers. We’re also happy to hear that the included mount worked well as a stand and that the color night mode exceeded your expectations.
Thank you as well for sharing your thoughts on the subscription trial. While it may not be for everyone, we’re glad you found the offer generous and potentially valuable for others.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and helpful tips. If you ever need assistance or have questions in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We're always here to help.

Verified Purchase:Yes
We have had this camera installed for a week, and so far it's been exactly what we needed. Being in Western Washington, getting enough sunlight for the solar panel was a concern, but so far it seems like even the small amount of UV rays have kept the camera powered up.
