Swann 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera
Product Information
The 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera comes equipped with infrared LEDs for night vision, a passive infrared motion sensor, and a QR code for easy device pairing. It also features a LED indicator, microSD card slot (microSD card not included), microphone, reset button, speaker, USB-C port, and a magnetic base. The camera is powered by a USB-C power adapter that is included in the package.
Camera Placement
The camera can be mounted on a wooden or masonry surface using the round metal
plate that is included in the package. If mounting on a wooden surface, screw
the metal plate directly to the surface.
If mounting on a masonry surface, mark and drill a hole, insert the wall plug,
and screw the metal plate to the surface. After this, attach the camera to the
metal plate which will provide a strong and secure hold.
- The camera can be conveniently placed on a table or shelf, or mounted on a flat surface using the included round metal plate which attaches to the magnetic base of the camera.
- Choose a location with strong, reliable Wi-Fi reception to ensure best video streaming performance. The easiest way to check is to use your smartphone. Connect your smartphone to your Wi-Fi network at the spot you have chosen and see if you get 2 bars of Wi-Fi signal or more.
- As a general rule, the nearer the camera is to your router, the better the wireless connection quality. If you’re finding the Wi-Fi signal to be weak or out of range at the location where you intend to place the camera, consider installing a Wi-Fi range extender to boost the Wi-Fi coverage of your existing network.

HELP AND RESOURCES
Optimizing motion detection
The camera’s PIR motion sensor detects heat signatures of moving objects.
You’ll generally get good detection results by pointing the camera downwards
at an angle where people will be moving across the coverage area before
heading directly towards the camera. The camera’s motion detection sensitivity
settings can also be adjusted in the Swann Security app. As every home
environment is unique, we recommend experimenting with the motion detection
sensitivity levels to find out which works best for yours.
LED status guide
The LED light on the front of the camera tells you what is happening with the
device connection.
