Great little cameras!
on August 4, 2025
Posted by: jdi22y_571
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great quality little cameras with amazing 4k video quality during the day and also with night vision.
Cameras were easy to install and being wifi (with great range), no messy cables to have to run back to the base!
Installing the app allows you to view your cameras live from your phone anywhere, as well as viewing cloud recordings, tqlking through the camera's intercom system and turning on/off the light or alarm as well as receiving alerts when someone enters the camera's zone.
In high traffic areas these can become quite frequent and lead to shorter battery life.

Hi Jamie,
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're really glad to hear you're enjoying the 4K video quality, night vision, and the wireless convenience of your Swann cameras. It sounds like you've set everything up well and are using the app's full functionality.
You're absolutely right, in high traffic zones, the frequent motion triggers can drain the battery more quickly. Here are a few quick tips to help extend battery life:
1. Adjust motion sensitivity to reduce unnecessary triggers
2. Set specific motion zones in the app to limit what the camera responds to
3. Lower the recording length for each event (e.g., from 60s to 30s)
4. Enable sleep mode or schedule times when the camera doesn’t need to record
If you ever need help tweaking settings to balance performance and battery life, feel free to reach out to us at tech@swann.com. We're here to help.
Your feedback is truly appreciated.

Pretty good cameras
on August 4, 2025
Posted by: andreww83_8771
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Swann Max Ranger 4K Mini for a few weeks now and overall it’s a solid little security camera with some great features. The video quality is impressive with sharp 4K resolution during the day and surprisingly clear night vision. The compact size makes it easy to mount just about anywhere and it blends in well which is great for keeping things low key.
The motion detection is fairly reliable and the app is easy to use with decent live view and playback functions. I also like that it has local storage as well as cloud backup so you are not totally dependent on an internet connection.
However there is one major letdown — there is no option for a solar panel. That means every time the battery runs low you have to physically remove the camera and bring it inside to recharge. It is especially annoying if you have mounted it in a tricky spot. For a product that’s meant to offer convenience and peace of mind this feels like a big oversight. A solar charging option would make it so much more practical for long term outdoor use.
In summary it is a quality camera with excellent video and smart features but the lack of a solar charging option is a real downside for anyone looking for a truly set and forget system. Hopefully Swann brings out an accessory or upgrade soon.

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for the thorough and thoughtful review, you’ve done a great job highlighting the strengths of the Swann MaxRanger 4K Mini, including the impressive video quality, compact design, and reliable motion detection.
You also bring up a valid concern regarding the lack of a built-in solar charging option. We completely understand how removing the camera to recharge, especially when mounted in elevated or hard-to-reach locations, can be inconvenient for long-term use.
We’re happy to share that there is a compatible solar panel available, the Swann SWIFI-SOLAR5. This accessory is designed to work with your MaxRanger 4K Mini and can significantly reduce the need for manual recharging by keeping your device powered continuously through solar energy.
You can find more details about the SWIFI-SOLAR5 on our website or through our authorized retailers.
Your feedback is truly appreciated.

Super easy to install
on August 5, 2025
Posted by: samt71_5070
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First things first this Wireless Security System is very easy to set up. Usually with all new set ups something goes wrong but with Swann Security System everything was smooth. The video quality is awesome. I also liked the night vision recording. It was surprisingly clear. The camera connected to the app very easily. What I love about it is that I no longer have to pay monthly fees as I did with my previous security system. I would highly recommend it.

Truly wireless security cameras
on August 13, 2025
Posted by: ziggyh3_7879
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are building a new house and having truly wireless security cameras have been amazing, we can reposition them anywhere we want at any time and check in on any work done when we aren’t at home. They also charge using a standard USB C cable which is very convenient. Quality is pretty good and night mode detection is pretty faultless too. All footage is locally stored too so there’s absolutely no subscription fees. Only small gripe is that it doesn’t hook into Apple Home or Google Home.

Super secure and safe thanks to these cameras
on September 27, 2025
Posted by: djmelbau_2051
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were super easy to install; and has a very wide range of motion and detection. I would recommend paying extra for the solar connections that way you don’t have to keep charging them every week or so. The app was easy to navigate and has brought a sense of security to my family. Would highly recommend - just don’t post videos of what the camera shows as you still wanna remain safe .
