Re: Swann Releases New OutBackCam

That's timing. I've just ordered a couple of Swann cams (regular ones) to supplement our home security system.

the OutbackCam is the ideal security observation system for your front yard, back patio, and any rural location

I've read a bit about these all-in-one units that record direct-to-SD card, but I can't help but feel that there's a flaw in the design. If someone nicks your camera when they nick your stuff, they've also got the recording of them nicking the camera, so how do you identify them to get your stuff back?

If this is being sold as "the ideal security observation system" then surely having the footage local to the camera is less than "ideal"? The recorded footage has to be remote from the actual camera for it to be of any use as a security system.
