Our state-of-the-art pool alarm camera system utilizes powerful Artificial Intelligence (AI), moving beyond the limits of traditional water-motion and gate alarms. Whether you’re looking for core security or an extended smart home experience, we have the perfect pool safety solution for you.

Option 1: Pool Alarm System with Built-in Wi-Fi Repeater

For any home without good Wi-Fi at the pool area, our built-In Wi-Fi system takes pool safety a step further. It includes our indoor alarm unit that also has a built in Wi-Fi repeater to extend your homes Wi-Fi router to your pool area.

Why you need a Wi-Fi Repeater:

A strong Wi-Fi connection can make all the difference when it comes to using smart devices effectively. While the SwamCam system relies on Wi-Fi for setup and live video streaming, it’s designed with built-in redundancy to ensure continuous protection — even if your internet connection drops.

If Wi-Fi goes down after setup, SwamCam will still detect motion and trigger alerts thanks to a secondary communication technology called Zigbee. This local connection allows the system to send signals directly between devices, ensuring that the camera siren and indoor alarm activate instantly — keeping your pool area protected at all times.

This system is a robust solution focused critical pool safety and comes with our SwamCam camera, indoor alarm with built-in Wi-Fi repeater and wireless Keypad for guest entry plus all the accessories needed to set up and mount your SwamCam.

How to Check Your Pool Area for Wi-Fi Before Choosing a SwamCam System

Before purchasing your SwamCam, it’s important to make sure your Wi-Fi signal is strong where you plan to mount the camera. Here’s an easy way to test it:

1. Take your phone to the exact spot near your pool where you plan to install the SwamCam.

2. Go into your phone’s Settings and turn off Cellular Data — this ensures you’re testing only your Wi-Fi connection.

3. Check your Wi-Fi bars and try streaming a short video (such as a YouTube clip). If it plays smoothly without buffering, your Wi-Fi strength is likely sufficient.

4. For a more accurate check, download a free app like Speedtest® by Ookla and tap “Go”.

For best SwamCam performance, we recommend at least 5 Mbps download speed and 2 Mbps upload speed at the camera location. If your signal is weaker, no worries — our SwamCam System with Wi-Fi Repeater extends coverage to keep your pool safety monitoring reliable and connected at all times.
