What is a Security Camera?

Whether you’re looking for an indoor security camera to check on pets or an outdoor weatherproof model to guard your front porch, there’s a solution for every need.

These smart cameras often feature HD video, two-way audio, motion-activated alerts, cloud or local storage, and integration with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit.

FAQ

What is the difference between indoor and outdoor security cameras?


Indoor cameras are designed for indoor use with features like two-way audio and compact design, while outdoor cameras are weatherproof and built to withstand rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.

Where does the video footage get stored?

Footage is either stored locally (on a microSD card) or in the cloud. Many brands offer subscription plans for cloud storage and advanced features.

What resolution do Swann cameras come in?

Swann cameras are available in 1080p Full HD, 2K and 4K Ultra HD — so there's an option whether you want an affordable entry-level camera or the sharpest possible footage for identifying faces and number plates. The higher-resolution 4K models are particularly popular for outdoor use, where detail at distance matters most. You can browse Swann's full range by resolution using the filters above.

How are wireless security cameras powered?


Wireless cameras are typically powered by rechargeable batteries or plugged into an outlet. Some models also support solar panels for continuous, maintenance-free charging.

Are home security cameras compatible with smart home systems?


Many modern cameras integrate with smart home platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit, enabling voice control and automation.

Do Swann cameras work without a subscription?

Yes, all Swann cameras work without a monthly subscription. Local storage via a connected DVR, NVR, or microSD card is included as standard, so you can record and review footage at no ongoing cost. Swann does offer optional cloud storage plans through the SwannOne app if you'd prefer off-site backup, but these are entirely optional. There are no features locked behind a paywall on the camera itself.
