pause all online activities such as gaming and video streaming on other devices connected to your

If you don't experience any video streaming issues (buffering, stuttering, etc), you can proceed
with the installation of the product. There are also Wi-Fi surveying and speed tools available
online that can help you analyze and test the quality of your Wi-Fi connection including download
and upload speeds (minimum internet upload speed of 1 Mbps is recommended for optimal video
streaming).

If you still have any concerns about your Wi-Fi coverage, consult a licensed electrician about
connecting the floodlight wires to a temporary plug and running an extension cord to a wall
outlet. This will enable you to power the camera onsite and directly test Wi-Fi pairing and live
streaming with the Swann Security app.
Improving your Wi-Fi network signal
•
If you're getting a weak Wi-Fi signal or you can't connect to Wi-Fi at all on your phone at the
installation site, we recommend moving your router closer, installing a Wi-Fi extender (which can
help improve signal reception) or selecting another location.
•
Do not proceed with the installation of this product until you have thoroughly tested and confirmed
the availability and reliability of the Wi-Fi connection at your desired installation location.
MicroSD card
The camera comes with a pre-installed 32GB microSD card which is required for recording events and
performing firmware updates. You can easily replace it with any compatible microSD card (up to 64GB,
minimum Class 10 recommended). Make sure to format any microSD card the first time you use it with
the camera. Go to the device's advanced settings screen in the app and select Format.
