About this Manual: The content in this manual is for information purposes

For instructions on how to configure your camera for motion detection, changing image settings, and other functions available, please consult the manual for your NVR. Go to support.swann.com, search for your model, then download.
Connecting the Camera
To connect the camera to your NVR, simply connect the supplied Ethernet
cable to the LAN connection on the camera then plug the other end of the cable
into one of the camera inputs on the back of your NVR.
Please note: The power connector is provided as an alternative power option if required. Your NVR will provide power over the Ethernet cable when connected and a separate power adapter is not required.
Mounting the Camera
The camera can be mounted onto a flat vertical or horizontal surface and
must be of sufficient strength to hold the camera. Materials such as hardwood,
brick or concrete are good options.
- Position the camera bracket in the location you want to mount it. Make sure the location is rigid to prevent vibration. The camera bracket has a total of eight mounting holes, four horizontal (A) and four vertical (B).
- Using a pencil or magic marker, mark the mounting holes on the surface to position the screws. Use a hole saw that you can attach to a drill to make a hole for the cable. A large drill bit can also be used.
- Using the appropriate screws for the surface you are mounting to, secure the bracket in place. If mounting to a wooden surface, screw the bracket directly to the surface. If mounting to a masonry surface (brick or concrete), you’ll need to use the supplied wall plugs.
- Connect the supplied Ethernet cable to the camera’s cable (see Fitting the Weather Protector to seal the connection).
Camera Location Tips
- Take into consideration what you want to monitor and where you’ll get the best view of it.
- How you’re going to connect the camera to your monitoring system; remember that cables and connections should be kept out of the weather.
- How to keep the camera out of harm’s way. We recommended mounting your camera at an elevated position.
- Place your camera as close to the area of interest as practicable. The best position is from about 13ft/4m above looking slightly down, keeping in mind the details you are looking for.
- Although the sky looks nice when you look at the live view from your camera, it is an unlikely direction for an offender to approach. Make sure your camera has minimal sky in it as the light in daylight can make the foreground of the image darker.
- Think about the most likely way a potential offender may approach your home, use your camera to give you the best coverage of these areas.
- The camera’s casing is resistant to different weath-er conditions and tampering. It would take an over-whelming event to damage the housing.
- The camera is weather and water-resistant but, prolonged exposure to adverse weather conditions such as sunlight and excessive moisture can damage the internal components.
- Run cables inside a wall cavity or other protected enclosure, and ensure that all wiring and connectors are insulated and protected from moisture.
- Don’t put your cable near live electrical wiring. AC electricity generates radio noise, which can interfere with the signal from your camera.
Fitting the Weather Protector
The weather protector provides a weather-resistant shield for the camera’s Ethernet connector to prevent damage from moisture, dust, and other external factors that could interfere with the electrical connection. We also recommend you seal the joins with electrical tape to ensure a more weatherproof seal.
- Place the Rubber-O-ring around the Camera Ethernet Connector.
- Carefully push the Ethernet Cable through the Seal Cap and then the Seal Tube.
- Connect the RJ45 Connector on the Ethernet Cable to the Camera Ethernet Connector ensuring the locking tab securely clicks in.
- Align the lugs inside the Seal Tube to the Camera Ethernet Connector, then rotate the Seal Tube to lock it in place. The Rubber O-ring should become slightly bulged when the Seal Tube has been correctly connected.
- Gently open the pre-cut slit of the Foam Weather Seal and wrap it around the Ethernet Cable between the Seal Tube and the Seal Cap. Push this into the Seal Tube until it is almost all the way in.
- Firmly push the Seal Cap over the end of the Seal Tube and rotate it clockwise to screw it on to the Seal Tube. Continue to tighten until the Foam Weather Seal bulges slightly from the end.
Controlling the Camera
To control the camera, in Live View mode click on the channel the camera is
connected to then click the “PTZ” button located on the camera toolbar. The
channel will go semi full-screen. Click the “PTZ” tab to access the controls
(as shown on the left).
- If you have multiple PTZ cameras connected, click this to select a different camera.
- Click this to create a preset. A preset is a particular position within the image that you would like the cam-era to focus on (for this function, please consult the manual for your NVR for more information).
- Click the directional buttons to move the camera in the direction selected.
- Adjust the speed control to alter how fast or slow the camera pans or tilts. Move the slider to decrease or increase the speed (a high number will increase the pan or tilt speed).
