Gear Diary SwannSmart Remote Camera Gives You Piece of Mind photo

We spend summers and many vacation breaks up in Pennsylvania. Much of the year, however, the house is unoccupied. And while we have neighbors who keep an eye on it for us, there’s nothing like seeing for ourselves that everything is okay. The SwannSmart camera should let us do that and a whole lot more. Best of all, set up is simple and quick. As the company explains, the SwannSmart

harnesses the power of the cloud to free you from the constraints of a traditional IP camera. There’s no complicated network set up required and your video feeds can be viewed from any PC, iPhone or Android device, anywhere in the world.

The SwannSmart features:

A Wi-Fi Internet camera packed with safeguard features for home & business security

It mounts on any flat surface, upside down, on the ceiling, or on a wall

The SwannSmart app by iSecurity+ lets you view on PCs, Macs, tablets and smartphones

It capture events as they happen and sends to SwannSmart Secure Cloud (Subscription required)

It you are looking for a simple way to get piece of mind when you are away from home (or work) the SwannSmart Remote Camera might be just the thing. The system has an MSRP of $129.99. We have one on the way for review, so keep your eyes out for a closer look. You can learn more here on the product page.

His passion for technology and gadgets never left him.
