GETTING STARTED

Charging the camera

Before using the camera for the first time, fully charge it with the included micro USB charging cable.

1 Pull open the rubber cap on the bottom of the camera.
2 Slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Note: You can also charge the camera with the switch OFF but you won't be able to check the LED indicator for the charging status.
3 Insert the smaller end of the micro USB charging cable into the micro USB port on the camera.
4 Insert the other end of the micro USB charging cable into a USB wall charger such as the USB power adapter for your smartphone.
5 The LED indicator on the front of the camera will turn solid blue indicating that the camera is charging. When the camera is fully charged, the LED indicator will turn off. Actual charging times may vary depending on the USB power supply (DC5V 2.1A is recommended for faster charging) and the remaining battery level. A full charge may take up to 6 hours.
6 After charging is finished, unplug the micro USB charging cable from the camera and make sure to close the rubber cap tightly to keep out water and dust.

Replacing the microSD card

The camera comes with a 32GB microSD card pre-installed for recording events and performing firmware updates. You can easily replace the microSD card with a new one (max. 128GB card supported), if needed in the future. Simply open the rubber cap on the bottom of the camera, eject the current microSD card (push in until it clicks) from the microSD card slot, and then insert the new microSD card (with the label side facing the front of the camera) into the slot until it clicks into place.

Pair Device Let's Get Started! We will now guide you through the steps to pair & setup your Swani device. This process may take up to 5 minutes. Before you begin, please: ● Set Modes to Home ○ Power the device ○ Know your Wi-Fi network name and password ○ Ensure your device is within Wi-Fi range or is plugged into your router ● Connect your smartphone to the Wi-Fi network which you wish to pair your device to START

CAMERA PLACEMENT

The camera can be conveniently placed on a table or shelf, or mounted on a flat surface using the included bracket. Because the camera is completely wire-free, you'll have a lot of flexibility on where you can install it. Choose a location with strong, reliable Wi-Fi reception to ensure best video streaming and battery 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 wireless signal is too weak or out of range, consider installing a Wi-Fi range extender.

Mounting the bracket

If mounting to a wooden surface, screw bracket directly to the surface. If mounting to a masonry surface (brick, concrete), mark and drill holes, insert wall plugs, and screw bracket to the surface.

Adjusting the viewing angle

Loosen the adjustment ring slightly by turning counter-clockwise. Swivel or tilt the camera as needed then tighten the adjustment ring to lock the position.

Attach Screw t camera

After installation, make sure to remove the protective plastic film covering the camera lens.

Attaching the camera to the bracket

Screw the threaded hole at the bottom of the camera onto the threaded post of the bracket by turning the locking knob clockwise until the camera is securely attached.

HELP AND RESOURCES

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. You can turn motion detection on or off, as well as adjust the motion detection sensitivity settings using the Swann Security app.

LED indicator guide

The LED light on the front of your camera helps inform you of what is happening with the device.

To reboot the camera, open the rubber cap on the bottom of the camera, slide the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position, wait for 60 seconds, then slide the ON/OFF switch back to the ON position.
