ABOUT THE SWANN SECURITY SKILL
Now it’s even easier to see what’s happening. Amazon Alexa works with Swann Security to stream live camera video to your Amazon
Echo Spot or Echo Show device simply by speaking your commands. Follow this guide to learn how to connect Amazon Alexa with Swann
Security for voice control.
GETTING STARTED
To use Amazon Alexa voice control with Swann Security, you must have the following:
→ Swann Security app
→ Swann Security account with a Swann device(s) paired
→ Amazon Alexa app and account
→ Amazon Echo Spot or Echo Show device
VIEWING YOUR CAMERAS USING AMAZON ALEXA
By default, Alexa responds to the name assigned to your camera (or channel) in the Swann Security app. An alternate name can also be
given to your camera through the Alexa app. Avoid using any special characters like % and numbers. You may want to consider changing
the name of your camera if this is the case. Use clear, distinct words that Alexa will find easier to understand and that don’t overlap with
any other smart devices in your home.
→ To connect to your camera and show live video, just say:
“Alexa, show <camera name>”
→ To stop streaming your camera, simply say:
“Alexa, go home” or “Alexa, stop”
