CAMERA OVERVIEW
GETTING STARTED
Charging the camera
Before using the camera for the first time, fully charge it with the included
micro USB charging cable.
- Pull open the rubber cap on the bottom of the camera.
- Slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Note: You can also charge the camera with the switch OFF but you wont be able to check the LED indicator for the charging status.
- Insert the smaller end of the micro USB charging cable into the micro USB port on the camera.
- Insert the other end of the micro USB charging cable into a USB wall charger such as the USB power adapter for your smartphone.
- The LED indicator on the front of the camera will turn solid blue indicating that the camera is charging. When the camera is fully charged, the LED indicator will turn off. Actual charging times may vary depending on the USB power supply [DC5V 2.1A is recommended for faster charging] and the remaining battery level. A full charge may take up to 6 hours.
- After charging is finished, unplug the micro USB charging cable from the camera and make sure to close the rubber cap tightly to keep out water and dust.
Replacing the microSD card
The camera comes with a 32GB microSD card pre-installed for recording events
and performing firmware updates. You can easily replace the microSD card with
a new one [max. 128GB card supported), if needed in the future. Simply open
the rubber cap on the bottom of the camera. eject the current microSD card
[push in until it clicks] from the microSD card slot. and then insert the new
microSD card [with the label side facing the front of the camera] into the
slot until it clicks into place. You should format the microSD card the first
time it is used. From the Swann Security app, go to Device Settings> [your
camera] > Advanced Settings and tap Format.
GET THE SWANN SECURITY APP
- Download the latest version of the Swann Secure, %6 from the Apple App Store@ or Google Play!’ Store on your i0S or Android device. Simply search for “Swann Security”.
- Open the app and create your Swann Security account by tapping Not yet registered? Sign Up”at the bottom of the screen. Then. activate your Swann Security account by confirming the verification email that is sent to the registered email address.
SET UP THE CORECAM
Launch the Swann Security app and sign in. Tap the Pair Device button on the
screen [or tap the menu icon in the top left and select “Pair Device”]. The
app will now guide you through the pairing process to set up the camera with
your Wi-Fi network.
Before you begin. have the camera with you and be close to your router. Please
note that the camera is only compatible with the 2.4GHz network. If your
router is using the 5GHz band, please ensure it is operating in mixed mode.
CAMERA PLACEMENT
The camera can be conveniently placed on a table or shelf. or mounted on a flat surface using the included bracket. Because the camera is completely wire-free, you’ll have a lot of flexibility on where you can install it. Choose a location with strong. reliable Wi-Fi reception to ensure best video streaming and battery performance. The easiest way to check is to use your smartphone. Connect your smartphone to your Wi-Fi network at the spot you have chosen and see if you get 2 bars of Wi-Fi signal or more. As a general rule, the nearer the camera is to your router, the better the wireless connection quality. If you’re finding the wireless signal is too weak or out of range, consider installing a Wi-Fi range extender.
HELP AND RESOURCES
Motion detection
The camera’s PIR motion sensor detects heat signatures of moving objects.
You’ll generally get good detection results by pointing the camera downwards
at an angle where people will be moving across the coverage area before
heading directly towards the camera. You can turn motion detection on or off,
as well as adjust the motion detection sensitivity settings using the Swann
Security app.
