It’s that time of year! The holidays are quickly approaching and packages are being delivered to homes and business across the country en masse. In fact, last year Fedex and UPS delivered more than $1B packages between Black Friday and Christmas Day! Also, 11M homeowners reported having a package stolen, and package theft and burglary are at a high during the holiday season. While this is never a pleasant experience, the loss can be even worse when you are running a business from your home.
Imagine ordering a new laptop, office supplies, or printed materials for your next big pitch and the package goes missing! The money, time, and hassle can really set you back, especially if you are a small business. It can be even worse if your home or office is burglarized with multiple assets gone in an instant, and your safety at risk. That is why we decided to try the Swann Smart Security Camera with SAFE by Swann app for both indoor and outdoor use. The camera is completely wireless and rechargeable meaning no stressful installation and you can rest easy knowing the battery will last for three to four weeks. You can easily recharge for four to six hours with the USB cable included, and it conveniently plugs into your Smartphone’s USB wall plug.
The camera also features True Detect Heat-Sensing Technology for more reliable detection. True Detect Technology (heat-based Passive Infrared motion detection) senses the heat of people and cars to send you a push notification alert via the SAFE by Swann app and start recording. This means that you will no longer fall victim to false alarms caused by trees blowing in the wind, leaves falling, or a pets moving around the home. Your lunch meeting will only be interrupted by a push notification if there is the potential for a real threat! True Detect also saves battery life by limiting the amount of unnecessary recordings.
In addition, the camera is perfect for outdoor or indoor use. You can mount it outside facing your front door or set it up within your home office. It films in 1080p full HD Video and a wide 120-degree viewing angle. It also has night vision and an IP65 rating for full weatherproofing. It comes with free video storage that you can play back from the past 7 days, stored locally on the camera, and from the past 2 days stored securely on the cloud. There is also an option to purchase the ExtraSafe plan at a minimal cost to allow for cloud storage of thousands of clips for up to 30 days.
One of the main competitors we’d heard about on the market is Arlo by NetGear. The one thing that stood out to us about Swann is that unlike Arlo, you do not need a base station or hub. The Swann Smart Security Camera is truly plug and play. You can also install multiple cameras around your home and office for complete security and sync them to the same app. The price is also better with a single camera costing only $149.99 ( $279.99 USD for a twin pack and $529.99 USD for four cameras.)
When you work from home, safety of your office and your personal space is of the utmost importance! Swann has a track record of being a leader in DIY home security for more than 30 years and their new Smart Security Camera did not disappoint.
