SET UP THE CAMERA

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 powered close to your router and get your Wi-Fi network password ready. 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.

MOUNT THE CAMERA

  • The camera can be easily mounted on a flat surface using the included screws (and wall plugs).
  • Choose a location with strong, reliable Wi-Fi reception to ensure best video streaming 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 Wi-Fi signal to be weak or out of range at the location where you intend to mount the camera, consider installing a Wi-Fi range extender to boost the Wi-Fi coverage of your existing network or you can try connecting an Ethernet cable from the “LAN” port of the PoE adapter directly to your router for a more reliable wired  connection.

HELP AND RESOURCES

Optimizing 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. The camera’s motion detection sensitivity settings can also be adjusted in the Swann Security app. As every home environment is unique, we recommend experimenting with the motion detection sensitivity levels to find out which works best for yours.
