A: Hi Cameraman, I'm a Swann employee, so happy to answer here: 1. There's no base station on these cameras. They're WiFi only, so they're just connecting to your router. They use "smart WiFi" when in low power mode (low power WiFi) and switch to high power WiFi when they detect motion or they receive a wakeup signal over WiFi. The advantage of this is you can put cameras anywhere you have WiFi, without having to have an additional base station in each location. 2. There's no limit that we place on the cloud server, in the app, on your account, anything on the number of cameras you can connect. It's only limited by the range of your router and your upload bandwidth.
Q: Is this camera 5g capabilities!
A: Yes it does have both 2.4 / 5ghz
A: Smart Things uses both Zigbee and Zwave, depending on the device you have connected. I wouldn't worry about anything interfering with Zwave, as that's 900mhz. Zigbee is 2.4ghz, which is the same band that 2.4Ghz wifi operates on. These cameras operate on WiFi, but I have a ridiculous amount of both Zigbee and Zwave devices throughout my house (connected via a Lowes Iris hub), in addition to a ridiculous number of devices running on 2.4Ghz WiFi (including 6 of these cameras). I haven't run into any interference issues, the response on my hub is just fine and same with the cameras. The cameras maintain a low-power WiFi connection unless they detect motion, then they fire up the high-power "normal" WiFi. It's only then that they have any potential to cause interference really, and I'm not encountering any with 6 cameras. Full disclosure: I am a Swann employee, thus by default I have a large amount of Swann wifi products all over my house. Worst-case scenario: These cameras also support 5ghz WiFi. Hardly anything is on that band, so you're highly unlikely to interfere with anything.
Q: How long the battery last? and how many feet can see at night with night view?
A: The battery will last up to two months between charges, and the night vision is up to 32ft. It diffuses the IR light quite well, so you wind up illuminating the whole area rather than just a bright spotlight in the middle. You can see the night vision here (this is me, in my kitchen, in the dark, probably at 1am). Full disclosure: I am a Swann employee.
A: I believe these units (cameras) have magnetic bases
