Setup

1. DVR Compatibility

  • Position the camera in the desired location and mark the screw holes using the camera base as a template.
  • Drill pilot holes into the marked spots. If mounting on drywall or masonry, insert the provided wall plugs.
  • Secure the camera base to the surface using the mounting screws.
  • Adjust the camera's angle to cover the desired area.

3. Connecting the Camera

  • Connect the camera's BNC video cable to an available video input port on your compatible Swann DVR.
  • Connect the camera's power cable to a power output from your DVR's power adapter or a dedicated 12V DC power supply.
  • Ensure all connections are firm and secure.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On

Once the camera is securely mounted and connected to your DVR, power on your DVR system. The camera will automatically power on and begin transmitting video to the connected channel on your DVR.

2. Key Features

True Detect™ Thermal and Motion Detection

The camera utilizes True Detect™ technology, which combines heat and motion sensing to accurately detect moving objects, such as people and cars, reducing false alarms triggered by environmental factors like leaves or rain. This feature is managed through your connected DVR settings.

Color Night Vision

With its advanced image sensor, the camera provides full-color video surveillance even in low-light conditions, offering more detailed and informative footage than traditional black and white night vision.

Red and Blue Flashing Lights

The camera features police-style red and blue flashing lights that can be activated upon detection of suspicious activity. This visual deterrent is designed to ward off intruders. Activation settings are configurable via your DVR.
