Swann security cameras are a popular choice for home and business surveillance. However, the bright LED lights on these cameras can be distracting and even attract unwanted attention. If you’re looking to turn off the light on your Swann security camera, there are a few steps you can take to do so.
One way to disable the light on your Swann security camera is to access the camera’s settings through the SwannView Link app or the SwannView Plus software. Within the settings, you should be able to find an option to turn off the camera’s LED light.
Alternatively, you can cover the light on the camera with a small piece of tape or black electrical tape. This will block the light from shining while still allowing the camera to function as normal. Just be sure not to obstruct the camera lens or any other important components.

After following the steps to turn off the light on your Swann security camera, it’s important to test the camera to make sure the light is indeed off. This can be done by checking the camera’s live feed on the monitoring device or software that you use to view the camera footage.
Here are a few steps to test the camera:

- Look for the camera in question and check if the light is still on.
- If the light is off, the camera has been successfully turned off. If the light is still on, you may need to revisit the steps to ensure the light is properly turned off.
By testing the camera after turning off the light, you can ensure that your Swann security camera is functioning as desired without the indicator light being a distraction or giving away its location.
I disagree with the suggestion to just cover the light. It might affect the camera's performance, especially at night when visibility is crucial. Better to find a way to disable it properly.
That's a valid concern. Covering the light can interfere with functionality. Always try to adjust settings first before using alternate methods.
I followed the steps to turn off the light, but it didn't work on my older model. I ended up covering it with tape, which did the trick, but it's not exactly a perfect solution. Just a heads up for anyone with an older camera.
I have both Swann and a different brand of security camera. Disabling the light on the other brand was super easy, just a single toggle. Why is it more complicated for Swann cameras? Anyone know if newer Swann models have made this easier?
