Swann Xtreem Wireless security camera review: Free cloud storage, motion detection, and solid hardware

Swann is best known for its professional, wired security systems, but lately it's been muscling its way into more consumer-friendly categories, like this straightforward offering. Of late, Swann has continued to move upmarket, and its latest home security camera, the Xtreem wireless, is designed to compete with some of the higher-end home systems available, such as Arlo. The hardware is compact and substantial (at 12 ounces, sans base), an all-white device that's weatherized for outdoor use. The small base can be attached to the wall via included screws; the camera snaps securely into place magnetically and allows for easy positioning. As the name implies, the camera is completely wireless.
