How Does a Swann Security Camera Work?
Swann Security Camera is a brand name you might recognize from D-S-L, a high quality home security system. As with any other brand name, it is also claiming to offer the best in technology. D-S-L makes a range of high quality security equipment and products, but has not developed a name for itself yet. It would seem therefore that the only way this company can stay ahead of the pack is by using innovative ideas, especially in the home security arena. I have been testing one of their security cameras, a D-S-L Mini Floor Lamp, for over a year now, and have found it to be a thoroughly impressive home security system.
Swann offers a complete smart home security system with twenty-six cameras, nineteen security cameras and one hundred and fifty-two ports. The camera and all its cabling can be expanded by buying additional modules, called Swann Centric Modules, which include but are not limited to Swann smoke and heat detectors, Swann gate alarms and motion detectors, Swann IP Cameras and more. In total, Swann security system comes with over two hundred and fifty-three cameras, allowing it to offer smart home protection.
You can also get an additional digital video recorder for an extra fee, which will then allow you to store up to two terabytes of footage directly onto your hard drive. This functionality is great for those people who aren’t comfortable with uploading footage directly onto their computer, or who don’t want to carry around a USB pen drive. The cost of the Swann software alone, including the Swann Centric Modules, is only eleven dollars. However, you are able to acquire a whole host of other add-on services and upgrades, at additional costs. These additional features, such as a voice recognition program that will allow you to remotely control your camera from anywhere in the world, can boost the total cost of your security system by up to thirty percent.
One of the most useful services offered by the Swann security camera company is its Smart Capture Technology. With this set-up, you have the ability to capture your footage directly onto a thumb drive that you plug into your computer. This allows you to view the footage in real time using any of your favorite mobile devices, such as smart phones or tablets. Once you have viewed the footage, you can then delete it, edit it, amend it or even recover footage if you need to.
The best part about this service is that it works both ways. Not only can you use your Smartphone’s and tablets to view and record footage, but you can also use the free facial recognition software on these devices to identify unfamiliar faces. This is achieved by scanning each photo on the device against the company’s database of faces. After being matched, the software will suggest names of known security cameras with photos that match them. When a customer requests a match, an image of the face will be emailed to them.
To take full advantage of this technology, it is advisable to download and watch videos that are recorded from your cameras. This will give you a great insight into how your cameras work and what they can achieve for you. However, if you do not want to view them online, then it is possible to save every bit of footage directly to a SD card. From here, you can watch the images on any compatible device such as a smartphone. Every time a new image comes onto the screen, it will update the display instantly and show you a clearer, sharper image quality.
Some of the cameras offered by Swann offer two-way audio as well. This means that when an intruder triggers the alarm, the feed can be converted into a live feed so that you can hear what is happening at your premises. This is a particularly useful feature if you are out of reach of the main security system. If you have invested in top-of-the-range Swann cameras, then you should be able to enjoy true detect in the dark with two-way audio.
There are many advantages to investing in a Swann security camera. With a comprehensive system, you are sure to benefit from a robust video surveillance system that can capture clear images of even the most remote locations. The best part of the Swann systems is their extensive range of additional equipment such as face recognition, infrared illuminators and seven days’ fully automatic warranty. If you need optimum protection, then invest in a Swann security camera and you will be amazed at what it can achieve for you.
