Swann Introduces AllSecure 650 2K Wireless Security Kit for Home Surveillance
Swann has launched the AllSecure 650 2K Wireless Security Kit, a product that aims to bridge the gap between cloud-based security systems and standalone kits. With the convenience of constant recording without a subscription service, the AllSecure 650 is designed for self-installation, keeping setup and running costs low.
The kit includes wireless HD cameras that can be placed anywhere, providing users with flexibility in surveillance. The system is centered around a hub that can be connected to the home router via Ethernet or wirelessly. Users will also need a smart TV or monitor for setup.
The hub features a 1TB hard drive and a slot for an additional rechargeable battery pack. The satellite cameras are also wireless and can be placed within range. The battery packs need to be charged for at least two to three hours before use, with a longer charge if more reliable operation is desired. The kit includes USB charging cables.
One notable feature of the AllSecure 650 is the inclusion of an extra battery pack inside the hub. This allows for quick and seamless swapping when one of the camera packs runs low on power. Swann claims a battery life of up to four months between charges, while the 1TB hard drive can store standard or high-definition footage for up to two years.
The hub also offers various storage options, including recording motion events, saving footage to an SD card, connecting an external drive, or uploading videos to a Dropbox account through the app. The Swann Security app provides controls and playback options, with minimal delay in accessing event footage.
While the setup process may require an HD monitor, mouse, and on-screen keyboard, the AllSecure 650 offers a combination of wireless surveillance features and built-in hard drive recording. With no need for a subscription service, except for advanced detection features, the kit is cost-effective.
The AllSecure 650 is available in different bundle sizes, with the smallest including two cameras and the largest, four. Prices start at $699.99 for the four-camera bundle and £399.95 for the two-camera bundle in the UK. The kit can be purchased directly from Swann’s website or through authorized resellers like Amazon.
To fully utilize the camera’s capabilities, users are encouraged to sign up for a storage subscription service, starting at $2.99 per month. This service includes warranty, smart alerts, cloud storage, and additional detection features. A three-month trial is offered with the purchase of the camera.
Overall, the AllSecure 650 offers a user-friendly design and reliable performance for home security needs. Its wireless features and built-in storage make it a convenient and cost-effective choice for consumers.
