About the Camera
Congratulations on your purchase of this Swann 3MP Network Video
Camera with Power Over Ethernet. You've made a fine choice for keeping a watchful eye over your home or business. The camera delivers brilliant and amazingly clear high definition images and videos in both day and nighttime conditions even in complete darkness. Designed in an elegant, unobtrusive weatherproof casing with an integrated 3-axis mounting bracket, the camera is versatile enough to be installed on walls and ceilings - indoors or outdoors and will be an excellent addition to your Swann POE NVR monitoring solution.
This instruction manual will walk you through the basics of installing and connecting your camera.
Installation and Connection
General Guidelines
- The internal components of the camera can be damaged by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Don't let direct sunlight into the lens!
- The camera gets great images when it's in the shade, looking at subjects that are well lit. Don't place the camera in bright light and have it facing shade or darkness.
- Bright light sources to the sides of, or behind the subject will interfere with your images.
- 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.
- Typically, the best view is obtained approximately 7ft (2m) to 10ft (3m) high, looking slightly downwards.
- The camera can be mounted to a wall or ceiling.
Weather & Tampering
The camera's casing is resistant to water, different weather conditions and tampering. It would take an overwhelming event of this kind to damage the housing of the camera (severe weather such as hurricanes or someone intentionally damaging the lens would be enough). However, the cable and connector are vulnerable and require protection.
Cable Management
For best results, run the cable inside a wall cavity or other protected enclosure, and ensure that the network cable connection is safely sealed away from rain, direct sunlight and potential vandals.
Connecting the Camera

IMPORTANT!
When connecting network cables:
- When plugging or unplugging the network cable, hold the plug portion of the cable. When unplugging, do not pull on the network cable but unplug while pressing down on the lock.
- Never place strain of any kind on the network cable connection. It's designed to clip into place to prevent slippage, but it won't support any weight and can be easily broken by a sharp tug. Exercise caution.
- Ensure that cables are sheltered from moisture, weather and sunlight. The network cable connection was designed and intended for indoor use with computer networking - while it's ideal for handling the massive data loads that network cameras require, it's not weatherproof.
- If you are installing the camera outside of your home, we highly recommend using waterproof tape to wrap the cable connection area between the camera's Network (LAN) port and the extension cable's Ethernet plug. Use as much as is necessary for the layer of tape to protect the connection. This will help prevent water or moisture from leaking into the cable which can cause the network cable connection to degrade over time or stop working.
- If you are cutting your own Ethernet cable, the supplied waterproof connector cover can be used to protect the your network cable connection especially in high moisture areas.
Mounting the Camera
The camera can be mounted onto a flat surface using screws. The surface must have sufficient strength to hold the camera. Materials such as hardwood, brick or masonry are good options, and we've included all the gear you'll need to mount it there (except the tools - sorry, you'll still need your own drill). You can mount the camera onto a metal surface, but you'll need to supply your own mounting hardware.

To mount the camera:
- Position the camera in the location you want to mount it, and mark the screw holes on the surface to position the screws or attach the supplied mounting template on the surface. Then, using appropriate screws for the surface you're fixing the camera to, secure the camera into place.
- If you're mounting to a wooden surface, then screw the camera directly to the surface.
- If you're mounting to a masonry surface (bricks, concrete or similar) then you'll need to use the included wall plugs.
Adjusting the Camera Angle
- Loosening the locking ring will allow you to pan, tilt and rotate the camera.
- Remember to tighten the locking ring back securely to lock the camera's position in place after you've finished adjusting the viewing angle of the camera.

Adjusting the Camera Settings
- When the camera is connected to your NVR, it will be automatically detected and an IP address will be assigned to it. If the camera is not detected, check that you have the cable inserted correctly. Please consult the user manual included with your NVR for a detailed explanation of the options available.
- At the 'Menu' screen, click 'Record' then click 'Encoding' to change settings for resolution, frame rate and video quality.
- Please consult the user manual included with your NVR for a detailed explanation of the encoding options available.
