Certainly there is nothing weak on the Swann Xtree Safety Chamber. A bulky unit, it looks and feels well done reassuring, tilting the scale around 0.77lb / 350g. Part of the reason for this is built in a rechargeable battery that provides up to six months for free. In the front is the Full HD lens while below is the motion sensor and recording and / matching lights that light up in red and blue, respectively.
At the top of the unit under a water resistant cover is the reset button, as well as the micro SD card slot for storage. Below you can find a micro USB slot to charge the battery, and a speaker to communicate with people coming to your door or who are at home.
A screw assembly so you can connect the camera to a tripod if you wish, and a powerful magnetic support that guarantees the camera can be used independently, and can be easily tilted for different locations, are provided. In addition to that, two screws and two premium plugs are included to drill the mounting bracket on the wall, as well as double-sided adhesive tape. However, we do not recommend the use of the tape to hold the safety camera to the wall, as it is a particularly heavy unit.
Finally, it is included in the box are of security stickers in dozens of different languages so that you can let people know that you have a Swann security camera installed if you wish.
