- What is Cloud Recording?
Most Swann Wireless and Powered Wi-Fi Cameras store video clips in the secure cloud for a rolling 1-7 days. You can access those clips at any time for viewing and/or downloading. - How is Cloud Recording different if I subscribe to a Secure+ Member Plan?
Members get to store more clips for longer in the cloud. You will enjoy 60 days rolling of clips and still images (depending on your device) saved to Swann’s secure cloud instead of the usual 1-7 days rolling cloud storage. - How are the days of rolling cloud storage calculated & what’s 'fair use'?
Swann Wireless and Powered Wi-Fi cameras are not designed for continuous recording. They are intended to specifically record true motion around the camera with minimal false triggers. 60 days is calculated based on 'fair use' of up to 200 clips of 10-60 seconds duration each day and camera. - What if I exceed the ‘fair use’ terms?
Swann Wireless and Powered Wi-Fi cameras are not designed for continuous recording. They are intended to specifically record true motion around the camera with minimal false triggers. If you exceed the fair use quantity for the upload of clips you may experience delays in uploading or downloading clips. Furthermore, where Swann deems this use to be excessive, it may, at its option, reduce the camera sensitivity so that each camera is recording fewer false events. - What is device backup?
Some Swann Wireless and Powered Wi-Fi Cameras are able to backup clips onto the camera for a limited time where a network connection has become interrupted. Once the network is restored, the clips stored on the camera are uploaded to the cloud and can be accessed like other clips. - How long can a camera record as a local backup?
Cameras have very limited local storage. Depending on the clip duration and frequency, typically up to 2 days of local backup is available. - How to I access local backup?
Local backup cannot be directly accessed. The idea is that the camera provides this service while its network connection is interrupted. Without a network connection, the camera cannot be accessed. However, once the network is restored all backed up clips are uploaded to the cloud and can be accessed using the Swann Security app ‘Playback’ section. - Are all Swann devices compatible with the Cloud service?
No. It is only included in Secure+ plans for wireless and powered Wi-Fi devices. It is not compatible with wired systems, although some wired systems have the ability to save to Dropbox or network as part of their free offering. The Tracker Security Camera is not compatible with cloud recording nor Secure+ Member Plans - How do I access clips saved to the cloud?
Via the Swann Security app on your mobile device you can retrieve clips stored in the cloud by day and hour. - Are clips any length?
Clips are only as long as your device will allow, typically that is no longer than 60 seconds per clip.
- What are Smart Analytics and Alerts?
Your Swann Wireless Camera or Wi-Fi Camera can sense the heat and movement vehicles and pets to send an alert or notification to your mobile device. - Will Face Recognition be included as part of subscription on all devices?
No. Face Recognition is coming soon for subscription on powered Wi-Fi devices. It is included free already on wireless devices and some wired systems (such as Professional Series NVRs). - Are all Swann devices compatible with Smart Analytics and Alerts?
No. Only powered Wi-Fi and wireless devices are compatible with these alerts for subscription. However, wired systems are also able to receive some alerts as standard due to their cameras’ True Detect heat and motion sensing. - Will I receive alerts automatically if I subscribe?
You will need to configure your phone to receive notifications for the Swann Security app in the Settings menu of your phone. The number of alerts depends on the activity detected and the sensitivity settings you choose within the app. - What types of alerts will I be able to receive?
In addition to the free alerts that come as standard, Secure+ members with a connected Wi-Fi camera can receive Package, Vehicle and Pet Detection alerts. - Can I vary the sensitivity of what triggers a smart alert?
Yes. Within the app’s settings menu per device. - Will the camera be triggered by my pet or a small animal like a mouse?
No. You can vary the sensitivity of the activity detection. - Does my camera recognize license plates?
No. Vehicle recognition is based around an algorithm around the shape of the vehicle. - How does package detection work?
Package detection uses an algorithm to detect the shape of packages/parcels/envelopes and people to alert you when an item has been moved to or from your premises.
- What are rich notifications?
Rich notifications are a notification or alert to your mobile device with a thumbnail image attached for quick and easy identification. - What’s the advantage of a rich notification?
With an image attached you can quickly discern what’s happening and what action you want to take. - Can rich notifications and Smart Alerts appear over my phone’s lock screen?
Yes. It’s a good way to know what’s happening even when your phone is off or ‘locked’ as the notifications can appear accompanied by a sound to alert you to important activity. You can vary this in your phone’s settings menu. - Are all Swann devices compatible with Rich Notifications?
No. It is only included in subscription for wireless and powered Wi-Fi devices. It is not compatible with wired systems. - Will I receive rich notifications automatically if I subscribe?
You will need to configure your phone to receive notifications for the Swann Security app in the Settings menu of your phone. The number of alerts depends on the activity detected and the sensitivity settings you choose within the app.
- Are all Swann devices compatible with Extended Warranty via Secure+ Member Plans?
Yes. If your product meets the conditions for Extended Warranty, including that you commence your membership within 6 months of the date of purchasing the device (wireless, powered Wi-Fi Camera or wired system) or devices you are subscribing for. If the device is not subscribed to a Secure+ Member Plans within 6 months of purchase, Extended Warranty will not apply and only the standard 12 month warranty (from the date of purchase) applies. - How does subscription affect Swann’s standard manufacturer’s warranty?
Swann offers a 12 month’s manufacturer’s warranty on all devices and complies with all statutory and legal requirements in relation to warranty in your region. Swann extends its warranty to 36 months with an active membership / subscription. The period of 36 months for Extended Warranty begins from the purchase date, NOT the date of membership / subscription commencement. - What happens if I stop being a member?
The extended warranty period is only valid while you are a member. If you discontinue your subscription, you can no longer claim an extended warranty. - Is there a process for warranty claims?
Yes. As outlined on Swann.com, extended warranties are handled as part of Swann’s standard warranty claim process. You need to retain a copy of your proof of purchase to make a warranty claim. - What do I do to claim extended warranty?
If you are a member of a Secure+ Member Plan for the device in question, you fill in the online form to claim. You must be able to show fair use as outlined in Swann’s terms of service and have proof of purchase. Your inquiry is then forwarded to Swann’s warranty department in your region who process the claim according to the agreed warranty process for that region.
- Are all Swann devices compatible with Insurance Claims?
Yes. If you are a member and you are able to satisfy the conditions for Insurance Claims including a valid police report, Swann will replace that device with an equivalent one, free of charge. - What if one camera from my wired system is stolen?
Swann will endeavor to replace that one camera, not the whole system. - How do I make an insurance claim?
You must be a current member of a Secure+ Member Plan, then fill in the online form to claim. The inquiry is forwarded to the warranty department in your region who processes the claim according to Swann’s insurance claim process. - Does insurance cover other incidents, such as fire, other damage, wear and tear?
No. Insurance is there for when members have their device stolen and can prove that with a valid police report. - What if I don’t have a valid police report?
Swann will not be able to replace your device. You may still have coverage under your standard home and contents insurance policy if you have one.
- Are all Swann devices compatible with Special Offers on Swann.com?
Yes. If you are a member to one of Swann’s Secure+ Member Plans and are located in the USA, UK or Australia, you are able to take advantage of exclusive offers, discounts and special deals. - Why is this service only available in the USA, UK and Australia?
It is tied to the ecommerce stores on Swann.com and only those countries have a Swann Store. - I don’t live in the USA, UK and Australia can I get special offers on Swann.com?
No. Unfortunately we cannot support you with special offers at this time. - What if another country added ecommerce?
Yes. That could change things but for now it is only available in the USA, UK and Australia. - As a member, how will I know what the offers are?
