Swann USB Wi-Fi Antenna for DVR & NVR
2.4GHz Wireless Network Adapter · Model SWACC-USBWIFI-GL
Cut the network cable — connect your Swann recorder to Wi-Fi in seconds.
Tired of running an Ethernet cable across the room just to get your Swann recorder online? The Swann USB Wi-Fi Antenna plugs straight into a free USB port on your compatible Swann DVR or NVR and connects it to your home or business 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network — giving you the freedom to put your recorder wherever it makes sense, not just where the cable reaches.

How It Connects
Your DVR/NVR already supports remote viewing through the Swann mobile app — but it normally needs a network cable from your router. This little antenna replaces that cable. Simply plug it into a USB port on the back of the recorder, then pair it with your Wi-Fi network using the recorder’s on-screen wizard.
Key Features & Benefits
Cable-Free Setup
Replaces the Ethernet cable between your router and recorder. No more drilling holes or stringing cable through the roof cavity.
Hide Your Recorder
Free to relocate the DVR/NVR anywhere within Wi-Fi range — tuck it in a cupboard, study or out of sight to protect your footage.
Plug-and-Play USB
Connects via a single free USB port on the rear of compatible Swann recorders. No drivers, no fiddly software.
2.4GHz Range
Uses the longer-range, wall-friendly 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band — better for a recorder tucked away in another room.
Reliable Remote Viewing
Keeps the Swann Security app, push notifications and remote playback working from anywhere — without trailing cables.
Genuine Swann Accessory
Designed and tested by Swann for use with their own DVR and NVR security recorders — not a generic dongle.
Set Up in Under a Minute
- Power down your Swann DVR or NVR (this is not always required depending on model)

- Power up — the recorder will detect the antenna automatically.

Aussie Family Homes
Where the modem and recorder live in different rooms and you’d rather not run cable through the ceiling.
Renters & Apartments
No drilling, no permanent cable runs. Set it up, take it with you when you move.
Hidden Recorder Locations

System Upgrades
Bring an existing wired Swann DVR/NVR onto the Wi-Fi network without rewiring.
Before you order — quick checks:
- Confirm your Swann recorder is listed in the compatibility table above.
- Make sure your Wi-Fi router broadcasts on the 2.4GHz band (most Aussie home routers do, including dual-band).
- Check there is decent Wi-Fi signal at the recorder’s planned location — thick brick walls or long distances may need a Wi-Fi extender.
- Ensure your recorder firmware is up to date.
Not sure if it fits your system? Send us your Swann DVR or NVR model number along with your router brand and we’ll confirm compatibility before you buy. Local Australian support, friendly advice.

Wireless performance depends on Wi-Fi signal strength, distance, walls, and interference. Always update your recorder firmware to the latest version before installation. SWACC-USBWIFI is a 2.4GHz adapter and does not support 5GHz-only Wi-Fi networks.
