WIFI COVERAGE AVAILABILITY
• Before you begin the installation of the product, it is important that you confirm the availability of
Wi-Fi as well as the signal level at the desired installation location.
• Note that Wi-Fi quality can vary significantly at different locations around the home due to
environmental factors such as home construction type and wireless interference from other
electronic devices.
TO CHECK WIFI COVERAGE
1 Connect your phone to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network band of your wireless router.
Note: The Swann Floodlight Security System will only connect to a 2.4GHz network.
2 Place your phone where you are planning to install the floodlight unit. If you have Wi-Fi connection
on your phone, the camera will also likely be able to obtain Wi-Fi connection. Check the Wi-Fi icon
on your phone. We recommend a minimum of 1 bar showing on your phone’s Wi-Fi icon as shown
below. Further testing should be performed if the Wi-Fi signal strength is only 1 bar.

PREINSTALL ATION CHECK
3 To avoid any potential Wi-Fi connection issues later, try playing a video on a media streaming
service app, for example, YouTube™ or Netflix™, through your phone. If possible, temporarily pause
activities like online gaming and video streaming on other devices connected to your network
while you perform testing, as this can affect the connection speed and quality.
4 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 enable you to analyze and measure the quality of your Wi-Fi connection including download
and upload speeds (a minimum 1 Mbps internet upload speed is recommended for optimal video
streaming). For more information, visit support.swann.com.
5 If you still have any concerns about your Wi-Fi coverage, consult a licensed electrician on
connecting the Floodlight wiring to a temporary plug and running an extension cord to a wall
outlet so you can power the camera onsite to test Wi-Fi pairing and stream live feed directly via
the SAFE by Swann app. For camera pairing instructions, see step 10 on page 9.
WIFI WEAK OR OUT OF RANGE
• 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 availability of reliable Wi-Fi connection at the desired location.
