The new wearable action video camera from Swann is perfect for capturing
every legendary moment of adventure packed activity
Milton Keynes, UK, 16th January 2012 - Swann, a global leader in security
monitoring solutions, proudly presents its first high definition wearable video
camera: Swann Freestyle HD. The Swann Freestyle HD debuts with a high quality
detachable LCD viewer, placing the Swann Freestyle HD ahead of the rest. Whether
capturing 1080p video with up to 3x digital zoom or snapping JPEG images with
its 8MP camera, Swann Freestyle HD lets you capture stunning hands-free video
and share it with the world.
Housed in a sturdy case that is waterproof to 20 metres, Swann Freestyle HD can
be worn on the body or mounted to bikes, cars, helmets, skateboards and more via
a range of included interchangeable mounts and brackets. In addition, the Swann
Freestyle HD can be used as a standard point & shoot camera, featuring both
single shot and continuous mode picture taking. Video is shot in stunning
professional-grade 1080p HD (1920 x 1080 pixels), boasting 30 fps, 3x digital
zoom and stereo audio. Swann has also included a wireless remote control that
lets users operate the camera while it’s mounted and out of arms reach. The
camera also features a laser function for you to know when the camera is filming
without having to look for a flashing light.
Real-time viewing is made possible by the detachable 4cm LCD screen, so you
immediately see if you’ve captured the shot. Swann Freestyle HD also allows you
to watch your footage afterwards on an HDTV via an HDMI cable or you can
transfer your recording to the computer via a MicroSD card or the included USB
cable for editing or sharing on social media networks. The Lithium-ion battery
is also rechargeable via USB, giving users up to 2.5 hours of recording time per
charge.
“The predecessor to our Swann Freestyle HD, the Swann Sportscam, proved to be a
huge success”
remarked Jeremy Stewart, Swann’s VP Global Marketing. “We have listened to our
consumers who told us they wanted a similar form factor but 1080p high
definition video quality. In addition to the video quality, we are sure our
consumers will love the Swann Freestyle HD’s LCD viewer, waterproof case,
mounting accessories and more.”

Convention testimonials It was a great pleasure and an honour being at the convention. I would like to thank you and Phil for believing in me and inviting me to speak at the convention for the 2nd time. I really enjoyed sharing my knowledge with the numerous delegates that have attended my sessions. I had such a great feedback that it sounds too good to be true. Furthermore, I would like to thank you for the 4 awards that I got at the convention. This experience will help me to work even harder for the coming competitions. Christopher Azzopardi

Photo Quote: I know some photographs that are extraodrinary in their power and conviction, but it is difficult in photography to overcome the superficial power or subject; the concept and statement must be quite convincing in themselves to win over a dramatic and compelling subject situation. - Ansel Adams
