Very pleased with this security light which incorporates a camera. Easy to set up using your home w fi. Altering the motion sensitivity is useful to avoid unnecessary triggering. Would recommend this product.

Ok, i did not receive this product free for leaving a 5 star review,now that is out of the way, i was very disappointed with this product.One of the most important areas of a CCTV camera is the area detection grid and with this model there is no option to reduce / customise the detection area which for the price of the product is quite appalling, worse is the live view cuts out after a few seconds so forget about enjoying watching liveview if you expecting visitors or a delivery.Also no IP rating listed on box or in paperwork so not sure how weatherproof this unit actually is. Swann support was slow and patchy and confirmed the omissions above, given that the product launched 7 months ago i am not confident these issues can be / will be addressed anytime soon ..if at all.

I have CCTV, Ring doorbell on my home which I thought was sufficient, however we had some undesirable who was going round in the early hours of the morning testing everyone’s cars to see if one had been left unlocked! They also tried to force open a van’s door, it was happening regularly. Footage was shown to the police which was crystal clear but in black and white. The police was unable to identify if the person they had in custody at the time was the person in the footage captured due to it being black and white! So I had made a decision that I would try and get any night footage in the future to capture colours so that no questions could be asked whether the clothing was red/blue/green/purple etc!! Was very frustrating especially when the footage was clear! I first installed some floodlights to the property thinking that would then make night time footage become colour, but I found it actually worsened the quality of the night view footage. I had seen the ring floodlight cam and was considering it but was put off significantly by the price! after all I already had cctv and a video doorbell so did I really want to spend £200 or more on one of those!!Then I saw this product, instantly without hesitation I purchased it, and having an electrician in the family I had it installed within an hour of it being delivered! (saying that if you have existing wiring for a security light it is simple enough to swap over) took less than 20 minutes! It was simple to connect to the wifi and watch via the mobile phone app!It’s great… it does just what I want/needed it to do. It captures footage in colour, making it easier to distinguish clothing! the footage is crystal clear. It captures a large enough area so that you can monitor your surroundings. Very Very easy to use. This should be enough of a deterrent to anyone thinking about either trying to break in to our property or trying their luck with the car doors! if not then it will capture them and any footage passed on to the police will make them far far easier to recognise due to colour footage!I now feel secure, and know should I ever need to pass footage on to the police that they will have a better chance of catching any undesirables with the footage that this captures. The siren is a good feature (could be a little louder!) and also the 2 way talk function.Would I recommend this product? Absolutely! Unfortunately in this day and age it is awful that you have to try and secure your belongings and your home! This certainly helps to feel secure knowing that should anyone attempt anything they will be captured and the video footage can then be shared to the authorities and to the local social media in finding these people and stopping them!I like the fact that you get 2 days of recordings free, can select when to arm and disarm the camera so that you don’t get notifications constantly. and if needed can pay for a subscription to hold 30 days if needed. If you feel you want to add security to your home/office/workplace etc then I strongly suggest!
