About the Camera

Congratulations on your purchase of this camera from Swann! You’ve chosen a

great little self contained, easy to install entry-level CCTV camera. This manual will

walk you through positioning, installing, connecting and using your camera, and

offer some tips to help you get the most out of your security monitoring system.

What will it see?

The camera has a 6mm, 37° lens built-in which allows it to focus its attention onto

one speciﬁ c area. What does this mean for you when placing it?

• The camera will focus on the one particular area in

front of the lens, but won’t see much happening to the

sides of it. You’ll need to aim the camera speciﬁ cally at

what you want to see.

• Objects and people will look like they are slightly closer

to the camera than they really are. You’ll be able to

monitor a space which is as long (or longer) than it is

wide.

The camera is great for monitoring long, narrow spaces

such as hallways or corridors. It’s also great for monitoring a

speciﬁ c space, such as a doorway, smaller room or staircase.

It’s best mounted high-up in a corner looking down into the space being

monitored, so that it can look over intervening obstacles. Also, the higher the

camera is mounted, the harder it’ll be for an intruder to access the camera or

interfere with it.

Rules is Rules

Regardless of all the tweaking of the lens and image processing you do, there are

a few immutable things that are true for all cameras, CCTV or otherwise.

• The closer the camera is to what you want to see, the more detail

you’re going to get. Really, there’s no substitute for proximity.

• Areas with varied lighting conditions are hard to view completely,

with any camera. If the bright bits are exposed correctly, then the shadows

will “black out”. If the shadowy areas are exposed correctly, then the bright

bits will overexpose and “white out”. Aiming the camera at an evenly lit

area will always give the best results.

• That “image enhancement” stuff that they do on CSI or 24 is all lies. You

can’t zoom in indeﬁ nitely on a video image. Licence plates are only readable

from a few meters (a dozen or so feet) away. If someone’s head is represented

by three pixels, that’s it. Sorry. This is technology, not magic. This is a great

entry-level CCTV camera, but it’s still an entry-level CCTV camera - it can’t see

much better than you can! Still, it does make for good television.

Solución de problemas

Problema: De noche, sólo se ve una imagen blanca.

Solución: La cámara probablemente está enfocando una ventana. De noche, la

luz infrarroja que usa la cámara para ver en la oscuridad puede “rebotar” en una

superﬁ cie reﬂ exiva (como el vidrio, agua, telas de araña, algunas cerámicas, etc.)

y efectivamente cegar la cámara. Si desea ver hacia afuera, monte la cámara en el

exterior, ¡por algo la hicimos resistentes!

Problema: Sólo veo una pantalla en blanco donde debería haber imagen.

Solución: Veriﬁ que el cableado de la cámara y asegúrese de que la cámara reciba

alimentación del adaptador de energía provisto. Intente usar otro cable de video o

conectar la cámara a un televisor o monitor diferente. Asegúrese de que no haya

dispositivos que interﬁ eran con la señal, tales como una grabadora de DVD o video

que no emite la señal correctamente.

Problema: No veo nada de noche.

Solución: El rango máximo de visión nocturna es exactamente eso, el rango

máximo. Si no hay nada en este rango, no verá nada. Asimismo, algunos objetos

oscuros (como el famoso gato negro) pueden no reﬂ ejar la suﬁ ciente luz como para

ser vistos excepto como una silueta si el fondo es más brillante. Algunos objetos

que pueden verse fácilmente con luz visible no reﬂ ejan mucha luz infrarroja.

Choosing a Location

The camera can be mounted just about anywhere, provided there is some

protection against direct sunlight and rain/moisture (it’s weather resistant, but

long-term exposure will eventually interfere with the operation of the camera).

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.

• How to keep the camera out of harm’s way. Up high in protected corners is a

good option.

Mounting

The camera mounts onto a ﬂ at surface using screws. The surface must have

sufﬁ cient 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:

• Using the holes on the camera stand as a guide, mark the locations on your

wall/ceiling to drill. Make sure the wall/ceiling is thick and strong enough that

you won’t drill through it.

• If the wall is masonry, brickwork or similar, use the provided wall plugs. If the

wall is made of wood, then the camera can be screwed directly onto the wall.

• Ensure that the cable is protected from the weather. The camera is weather

resistant, but the cable (particularly the power and video-out plugs) is not.

• Once the camera has been mounted, ensure that it is securely ﬁ xed in place.

The camera is vandal resistant, but that won’t help if an intruder can remove

the whole camera!

Troubleshooting

Problem: At night, all I see is white.

Solution: The camera is most likely looking through a window. At night, the

infrared light the camera uses to see in the dark can ‘bounce back’ off a reﬂ ective

surface (such as glass, water, spider webs, some ceramics and so on) and effectively

blind the camera. If you want to see outside, mount the camera outside - we made

it weather resistant for a reason!

Problem: I see only a blank screen where my image should be.

Solution: Check the wiring to the camera, and ensure the camera is being

supplied power from the included power adapter. Try using a different video lead,

or connecting the camera to a different television or monitor. Be sure there are no

devices interrupting your signal, such as a DVR or VCR that isn’t outputting the

signal correctly.

Problem: I can’t see anything at night.

Solution: The maximum range of the night vision is just that, the maximum range.

If there’s nothing in this range, you won’t see anything. Also, some dark objects

(like the proverbial black cat) may not reﬂ ect enough light to be seen except as a

silhouette if the background is brighter. Some objects which can easily be seen in

visible light don’t reﬂ ect much infrared light.

Selección de la ubicación

La cámara cámara es muy ﬂ exible y puede instalarse prácticamente en cualquier

parte, que ofrece cierta protección contra la lluvia, la humedad y la luz solar directa.

Algunas de las cosas que deberá considerar al seleccionar una ubicación son:

• Qué desea supervisar y dónde obtendrá la mejor vista de ello.

• Cómo conectará la cámara a su sistema de supervisión.

• Cómo proteger la cámara de daños. Un lugar elevado en un rincón protegido

es una buena opción.

Instalación de la cámara

La cámara se monta sobre una superﬁ cie plana y vertical usando tornillos. La

superﬁ cie debe ser lo suﬁ cientemente fuerte como para sostener la cámara.

Materiales tales como madera dura, ladrillos o mampostería son buenas opciones

y hemos incluido los elementos que necesitará para montarla (con excepción de las

herramientas... Lo sentimos, necesitará su propio taladro). Puede montar la cámara

sobre una superﬁ cie metálica, pero necesitará sus propios elementos de montaje.

Para montar la cámara:

• Utilizando los oriﬁ cios del soporte de la cámara como guía, marque las

ubicaciones en la pared para perforar. Asegúrese de que la pared sea lo

suﬁ cientemente gruesa y resistente como para no atravesarla.

• Si la pared es de mampostería, ladrillos o similar, use los tacos provistos. Si la

pared es de madera, entonces la cámara puede atornillarse directamente en

la pared.

• Asegúrese de que el cable quede protegido de la intemperie. La cámara es

impermeable, pero el cable (en particular el enchufe de electricidad y de salida

de video) no lo es.

• Una vez que se ha montado la cámara, asegúrese de que quede ﬁ rmemente

asegurada en su lugar. La cámara es resistente al vandalismo, ¡pero ello no

ayudará si un intruso puede extraer la cámara entera!
