Q: QuestionThe product overview states "Free recording with 24 hours rolling cloud and local storage" but I do not see that option anywhere in the app. The only recordings I see are the ones triggered by motion. Am I missing something here?

Asked 3 years ago by Kealii.

• A:Answer Hi Kealii. I think you may have misunderstood this feature. This camera only has the option to record short clips whenever it detects motion, it cannot record continuously 24/7. All of the recordings you see in the playback screen for the last 24hrs are stored in the cloud. In addition the camera has an SD Card included and you can view clips further back which are saved on that card by tapping on the SD Card icon within the Playback screen. - SD, Swann Team.

Q: QuestionCan it record to a dvr/nvr to expand storage?

Asked 3 years ago by Jake8.

• A:Answer Hi Jake. No, it is not possible to connect this to a DVR/NVR, however the included 32GB Micro SD Card will store a very large number of clips before writing over the oldest clips with the latest ones once it is full. You can also replace the card with a larger one (up to 128GB) if you wish to. If you also happen to own a Swann DVR or NVR then you can view it alongside this floodlight camera in the same Swann Security App account. -SD, Swann Team.

Q: Questionwould this system detect rabbit at night ?

Asked 3 weeks ago by mark.

• A:Answer Hi Mark. Thank you for your question. Yes, it can detect a rabbit at night, as long as the movement occurs within the camera’s detection range. The night vision range (up to 65ft / 20m) or spotlight/floodlight range (up to 100ft / 30m) refers to how far the camera can see in low light. However, actual detection depends on the PIR motion sensor range (up to 26ft / 8m) and how the camera is positioned. Small animals like rabbits are more likely to be detected when they move across the camera’s field of view within that PIR range. Detection may be less reliable if the animal is moving directly toward the camera or is too far away. I hope that information helps. Mary - Swann Team

Q: Questioncan the mount be moved so i can attach to side of house

Asked 2 months ago by jeff.

• A:Answer Hi Jeff. Swann's USA version of the SWIFI-4KFLOCAM is designed to be connected to an existing junction box on your home. It needs to be connected to existing power wires so cannot be easily moved around your house unless you want to rewire & reinstall it again. - SD, Swann Team

Q: QuestionI am a property manager. I want to mount this high up out of reach on the corner of my building. I need to know how far out it will react with lights and siren when people are on the property. In other words, what is its range in distance and view.

Asked 6 months ago by marlene.

• A:Answer Thank you for your inquiry, Marlene. The PIR motion sensor works best up to 26ft (8 m). This is the distance it can reliably detect movement. While the spotlight can illuminate up to 100ft (30 m). So, when someone enters the detection zone within 26 ft, the system will trigger the lights and siren, and the spotlight can reach up to 100ft to light the area. Hope this helps. Mary - Swann Team

Q: QuestionFirst will waves in a swimming pool set off the motion detection. 2nd can the siren be set to on or off.

Asked 3 years ago by Gprat.

• A:Answer Hi Gprat. The PIR (Passive Infrared) motion sensor on this camera is designed to detect the infrared energy from warm moving objects at or around human body temperature. The objects that it normally triggers off are people, larger pets and vehicles, however other surfaces such as concrete can also reflect energy if the sun hits it at an angle. It is possible that the sun could bounce off the pool surface and trigger the camera but you could use the motion grid feature in the app to ignore the pool if you wished to. The siren can definitely be disabled if you don't want it going off. -SD, Swann Team
