Enjoy the Convenience and Flexibility of Powered Wifi Security Cameras
Wifi security camera systems wirelessly transmit video signals to an NVR recorder or directly to an app via the cloud, making for easier, faster, less intrusive installation. Powered wifi security cameras need to be situated within range of a nearby power socket. Swann has wifi security cameras that can often be mounted inside or outside, perfect for monitoring entrances, detached garages, outbuildings, and more.
Getting Started With Powered WiFi Security Cameras
-
How are Wifi cameras different from wired cameras?
Wired systems require a cabled connection between the cameras and a recorder box. Powered Wifi Cameras must connect to a power socket but then transmit video and audio using Wifi. Typically, Powered Wifi systems record video clips that are shorter in length compared to their wired counterparts, which can stream video clips of any length.
-
Do I need a power source for my Wifi cameras?
Yes. Powered wifi security cameras require a power socket nearby to operate. They transmit their video and audio wirelessly via the local Wifi network.
-
How can I add additional wifi security cameras to my system?
Many of our powered wifi security camera systems come with four or five cameras, but it’s possible to purchase add-on cameras to expand your surveillance area. These cameras are designed to connect to your existing surveillance system.
-
How do I see the video footage?
You can see live and recorded video on the Swann Security app. Some Powered wifi cameras can connect to an NVR that can in turn connect to a TV for easy video viewing via an HDMI port.

How many cameras can I use in a powered wifi security camera system?
The SecureAlert series can combine up to 8 powered wifi cameras. Multiple standalone powered wifi security cameras, such as the 2KI and 2KO, can be combined, although it's important your home has enough Wifi bandwidth to accommodate them.

What internet speed do I need for a Wifi home security system?
Wifi enabled Swann devices work well with at least 1Mbps of upload bandwidth, although 2Mbps or greater is ideal.
