Whats Included

CoreCam Indoor/Outdoor Wireless 1080p Security Camera

Q: the camera would be about 350 ft from the house. will the signal reach that far?

A: Hello mike. Thank you for your question. The Corecam works on the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band & has a wireless range of up to 65ft/20m, but it can be less depending on the materials of your home, other competing devices etc. If you were to connect your phone to your home's Wi-Fi router and then walk outside, the phone will disconnect when it gets beyond Wi-Fi range. It is exactly the same with a Wi-Fi camera. We recommend looking into our wired NVR kits on which you can extend the cable up to 330ft without affecting the signal, or alternatively we have a really exciting new product launching on 7th of March called MaxRanger4K. This has ultra long range wireless & could be exactly what you're looking for, please keep an eye on Swann's website next week to learn more. Hope this helps. LV - Swann Team

Q: How long does the battery last?

A: Thank you for your question, Swann's CoreCam™ Wireless Security Camera includes an easy rechargeable battery with up to 3 months per charge. Since it is a battery camera that will sleep most of the day and only record when there is motion detected. LV - Swann Team

Q: Can you leave this plugged in with the USB cable? 24/7/365?

A: Hello etp7, Thank you for your question, this is not recommended. Using poorly insulated chargers can damage the battery. If the charger shorts or generates heat near the battery, it can do enough damage to cause failure. While lithium-ion batteries have built-in protections to stop them from overcharging, using unofficial chargers can damage the battery in the long term. LV - Swann Team

Q: We want to monitor our cats when we are away. Will placing it near the cat door be close enough to activate it when a cat comes through?

A: Hi Anni. Yes, the PIR motion sensors on cameras are tuned to detect human body temperature, however dogs and cats will be able to trigger it as well if close enough. Please be aware that it can take half a second for a battery operated camera to wake out of its sleep state and start recording so if your cat moves really quickly there is a chance it may have left the camera view before the recording begins. If you position the camera well you should be able to get the result you're looking for. A mains powered camera such as our SWIFI-2KICAM will tend to wakeup and start recording a little faster if you have a power socket nearby and want to look at alternative camera options. -SD, Swann team

Q: The camera will be approx. 42' from car/carport. My current camera (1080) isn't clear enough to show faces or license plates. Your camera spec says it will go up to 50' of clear vision. Is this true? Will I be able to make out faces and read plates?

A: Hello DoDi, Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. Based on the information provided, we would recommend reaching out to a member of our technical support team and providing more information on how high your camera is mounted. We would recommend looking into a security solution that records in a higher resolution. Please let us know how we may further assist you, Thank you. JV Swann Customer Support

Nice little security Camera!
The Swann CoreCam Security Camera is a nice little camera that takes clear videos and pictures all in HD 1080p. The videos are clear even at night due to the excellent IR function. The camera is only about 3” high (not including the mount) but has a lot of security features that some others in its price class don’t have. The Swann CoreCam comes with camera, mount, 32gb MicroSD card, USB charging cable for rechargeable battery, mounting anchors and screws, quick start guide with summary operating instructions, and theft deterrent stickers in both English and Spanish. The CoreCam has several good security features-1080p HD videos and pictures, 2-way talk, easy recordings (stored on the MicroSD card), weatherproof, and 24/7 day/night vision. It has a powerful Infrared camera for night recordings. The CoreCam has a peripheral vison of 100 degrees (a little less than others of its kind) but still covers my whole backyard. The motion capture distance for both day and night is about 26 feet. The rechargeable battery lasts about 3 months depending on the motion settings (set in the Swann Security App). The Swann CoreCam was easy to set up after fully charged. Once the Swann Security App is downloaded (for iOS or Android), the CoreCam can be paired with you cell phone. Mounting the Swann CoreCam is very easy. It can be used indoors or outdoors. The mounting stand is attached to the camera with a turn screw which makes it easy to remove the camera for charging. The CoreCam mount has a swivel ball to allow you to adjust the direction of the camera for best coverage. After the position of the camera is set, just turn the “nut” to tighten the swivel and the CoreCam is ready to go. Once the CoreCam is paired and mounted all the functions needed to operate the camera is done through the Swann Security app. At the bottom of the App Home Page, is a settings icon that takes you to the CoreCam device Overview Page. Here you can check all the information needed to set up the camera setting to you needs. The app also has a detailed user guide that’s easy to follow. I have my CoreCam set up to cover my backyard. My backyard is about 50x50 and the Swann CoreCam covers the entire backyard. The videos and/or pictures are all stored on the MicroSD card making it easy to transfer recordings to a laptop or computer using the MicroSD card adapter. I like the clarity and the ease of use of the Swann CoreCam. I also like the fact that I can set up a schedule when the camera starts and stops. I do wish that Swann Security had access to a cloud on their website. It does take a bit to find the downloaded videos/pictures on my Android. It also take a little finessing to transfer the CoreCam recordings to a folder on my MicroSD card in my Android. Fortunately, all the recordings are stored on the camera’s MicroSD card so I can still access them any time. I recommend the Swann CoreCam security Camera. It’s small, but powerful and can be put anywhere.

Solid Little Extra Security Eye
Swann’s Core Cam Security Camera is a great little 100% wireless camera with many features. It can be used indoors or outdoors as it is built to be weatherproof and to resist any type of weather conditions. The images are produced in 1080p HD quality day and night, and the camera is also equipped with infrared night vision so that quality records can be taken 24/7 of any intruder or vandalism. The CoreCam Security Camera comes equipped with 2-way talk and a siren that can be activated through the app. Heat and motion sensing delivers alerts through Swann’s True Detect technology. The CoreCam Camera comes with a 32 GB Micro SD Card and a free 60-day trail of secure record saving to the cloud. Subscriptions can be purchased, or the camera can be used with just the microSD card or the app. A special for new customers with the use of a single camera is offered during installation only for 2.99 a month or 29.99 a year, and the charge will begin after a free 90-day trial. I took advantage of this because I really like the camera and installed it over my patio area. Charging takes a little time and can take up to 5 hours for a complete charge. Usually, a fully charged camera was tested to last for 3 months which is about the same of comparable products. The camera comes with a 32 GB micro-SD card, a USB to micro-USB charging cable, theft deterrent stickers, mounting screws, and a secure screw-on mounting stand. I hope that I am wrong, but I really do not think that the mounting bracket is going to last through the ice and sub-zero temperatures in my area. The plastic just does not seem to be extraordinarily strong at all. I installed it on the facia board under the eave of the house on an inside corner so that it would be protected from the weather elements some, but it still can collect ice during bad winters. The Core Cam Security Camera also has an additional accessory that can be purchased. It is a solar panel which is about the size of an iPad, and which can enable a constant charge to the camera, therefore eliminating having to take it down every 3 months and physically charge it before returning it to its base. That is a nice concept and one I might have to explore further. I was very frustrated with trying to set this camera up. The box advertises “wireless setup in minutes.” I tried for 3 hours one evening to get the camera to pair with my iPhone and almost 4 hours today. I was ready to just write my review and give it one star when I realized that it could not pair with very recent technology, and I was trying to pair it with the app on an iPhone 14 Pro. I added the app to my iPad Pro, and it paired instantly, immediately downloaded a new firmware and did everything it was supposed to do in a matter of seconds. My opinion of the camera reversed completely, and the app works fine now on the iPhone 14Pro once the camera has been set up and installed. It works great on the iPhone 12 Pro. There was just something in the technology of the iPhone 14Pro and the app that would not allow it to pair and set up, it continuously returned an error. I am impressed with it now and most definitely would recommend this camera to a friend.

Pretty good camera, easy installation!
One of the things that gives us peace of mind in life is security and having a wireless surveillance camera installed can make a huge difference in this area. In addition to the camera, the box includes a USB charger cable, a base with its respective screws and plugs, some documentation, a quick start guide and some stickers and a 32gb micro SD. The installation is very simple once you choose the place where the camera will be installed, it is required to download the Swann Security app to perform the configuration and registration of the device. The camera has a 1080p resolution and the image looks good, and in night mode the image is also clear. The camera has a 32gb micro sd card previously installed, you can format this memory at any time from the camera settings in the Swann Security app, although with this app you have almost total control of the device, the power and reset buttons are physical and are at the bottom of the camera. Regarding the performance of the camera I have no negative comments as being 1080p is a reliable result in terms of image, regarding the microphone and speaker functions are met without difficulty but what if it leaves a little to be desired is the app. It gives the impression that there is no ease regarding how the user can review the events or simply see in real time what happens outside because the app, when you receive a notification of detected movement, does not show you the capture that made that event but sends you to the live view and this is not bad thought but it turns out that there is a delay of about 10 seconds and sometimes more, resulting not very useful to notify you because you lose valuable time even if it does not seem so. The ideal, I think, would be that when we open the notification we can see the recording instead of the live view and then decide if it is necessary to open the live view. Regarding the masks that are areas that can be delimited so that the camera does not detect movement, sometimes it works and sometimes not, sometimes it does not recognize the entire area instead of the area that was previously delimited, it seems to me that the app needs some improvements in this aspect. Regarding the motion detection has several levels of sensitivity, depending on the area where the camera is placed, will be the one you choose. Different modes can be configured so that if you are away from home you can choose the previously configured mode to avoid having to reconfigure the camera all the time, something that I feel is very useful. The camera has a simple but aesthetic design, white color that looks very good, a battery that lasts a long time but, will depend on the notifications settings and motion sensitivity chosen, as the camera goes to sleep mode is activated whenever it detects movement consuming more battery if more events happen in the day to day, it is important to consider this factor as being a wireless camera is required to charge the battery from time to time. In conclusion, this camera was design to take it out of the box, install it, configure it and start using it. It is not required to pay for the Secure+ subscription plan in order to record events, with the included memory you can do that, plus with no cables to connect it is much simpler to operate this device. 1080p looks great and in night mode it looks great too, although the app seems to need improvement, it does give you the option to customize the camera to your needs, there may be other alternatives at similar prices but I think it's a good option if you don't want to deal with wires.
