Swann - CoreCam Indoor/Outdoor Wireless 1080p Security Camera - White

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

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

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

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
