About the Camera
Congratulations on your purchase of this Swann Multi-Purpose Day / Night Security Camera!
This instruction manual will walk you through the basics of installing and connecting your
camera.
This camera is very sensitive to light and therefore can make use of even the smallest
amount of light to provide an image of what it sees. In low light, this comes through as
a black and white image. In complete or near-total darkness, the camera uses built-in
infrared LEDs to illuminate the area in front of it. This light is invisible to the human eye,
although you might notice a faint red glow coming from the front of the camera - this is
normal.
Installation and Connection
Choosing the Location for the Camera
The camera is very flexible, and can be installed practically anywhere. Some of the things
you'll have to consider when choosing a location are:
•
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.
✐ General Guidelines
•
Place the camera in an position that a potential security threat will find it difficult to
avoid. A strategy which is often effective is to monitor entrances and exits - after all,
a security threat has to get in somewhere.
•
Install the camera where it's out of reach or not easily accessible by vandals. For
example, under the eaves of a roof or high up in protected corners of a wall. The higher
the camera is mounted, the harder it'll be for vandals to interfere with it.
•
Typically, the best view is obtained approximately 7ft (2m) to 10ft (3m) high, looking
slightly downwards. Try to aim the camera at an area which is evenly lit, as objects
or people in shadows near brightly lit objects are very hard to see.
•
The internal components of the camera can be damaged by prolonged exposure to
direct sunlight. Don't let direct sunlight into the lens!
•
Avoid having bright light sources in your image. This includes the obvious (such as
the sun or an artificial light source) but also things such as reflections. Cars are
notorious for reflected light sources, as are buildings with a lot of windows, mirrors
and so forth.
•
The camera's night vision will give well-exposed images if the area is dark. However,
if there's a bright point source in the camera's view (a streetlight, car headlights or
similar) then it might not engage night vision mode.
