Swann has announced the UK launch of a new home security product that uses Wi-Fi HaLow 866MHz long range wireless technology.
The MaxRanger4K is the first of its kind to connect up to 250m in open air or 100m in typical use, differing from regular wireless security cameras reliant on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
Expansive signal for hard-to-reach positions
MaxRanger4K aims to support a diverse range of homes, such as those constructed from brick and with multiple levels, to resolve challenges posed by traditional Wi-Fi connection.
Longer transmission caters for remote positions like perimeter fences on large homes, car parks, warehouses and farms.
Alex Talevski, CEO of Swann Security, said: “The MaxRanger4K showcases the innovation and trust that Swann Security is known for. Its expansive signal range puts it in a class of its own, allowing for detection of threats at the early stages”.
The hub has 64GB local memory and cloud backup for free recording, coupled with battery for up to 5 hours of power in the event of a power outage. It is available with 2, 3 or 4 cameras and the hub, offering the option to purchase and monitor up to 8 cameras on the same hub.
The cameras are pre-paired with the hub for quick setup and have built-in solar panels to eliminate the re-charging process.
A system to prevent crime
Swann’s new product boasts two-way audio and True Detect+ sensing, registering heat, motion, people and cars to trigger mobile alerts, video recording, spotlights and sirens all controlled within the Swann Security app.
The cameras have Sony STARVIS sensors to provide enhanced 4K colour video for day and night. The MaxRanger4K cameras are designed for mounting and use all year round in any weather conditions.
Talevski continued: “The dedicated HaLow Wi-Fi technology means that even in short distances or crowded areas, the signal is stronger and the cameras won’t struggle to maintain a reliable Wi-Fi connection.
“This is the security system of the future and Swann is proud to be the first to offer these capabilities to our customers now.”
