You should position your cameras to cover the areas most exposed to risk. See
our suggestions below for some ideas:
Take note that the Dummy PIR camera will require a waterproof housing to
protect it from the elements if used outdoors. Direct exposure to the effects of
the weather will void the warranty.
Where to Place The Security Stickers:
1. On your front window
2. On side windows
3. Near entrance points - doors, gates
4. Next to a dummy camera mounted outside
5. On the front counter
6. On the cash register
7. Next to an obvious camera

Please test all devices before final installation as it is far easier to rectify problems at this stage.
!
To avoid the risk of damage to your product, use only the supplied power adapters.
!
Areas with a bright background may cause degradation of the image. If possible position
your camera so that it doesn’t point towards a very bright light source.
!
Do not cut the DC power cable of the Camera to fit with another power source. This may result
in damage to the Camera & any unauthorised modifications will void your warranty.
!
The Dummy PIR camera is not water or weather proof and requires a suitable protective enclosure
if it is to be situated in an outdoor location.
Best Results are achieved when the camera is looking down on the subject area.
A hood should be used to stop sunlight entering the lens and causing the picture to wash out
during bright daylight.
1.
Deterrence is the best and most cost effective security method for:
- preventing criminal activity before it occurs is preferable to, and cheaper than, cleaning
up after it occurs
- the Swann Dummy PIR Camera is an example of cost effective security utilising
the 'art of deterrence' to outsmart thieves and criminals
2.
Always place cameras high enough that they can't be closely inspected or easily accessed
3.
Position cameras and dummies where they can be easily seen for maximum deterrence
4.
Position a monitor where it can be seen but not touched
5.
If you have more than one camera use a monitor with channel switching function, a Quad
Processor or DVR with multiple views to show potential offenders the level of coverage you have
protecting your site.
6.
Add extra Swann dummy cameras to give the impression of heightened security
7.
Purchase a Swann DVR (product code SW-R-DVR4NET) to monitor and record activity on your
cameras. Depending on the settings used, DVRs can record for months.
8.
Position a VCR with tapes or boxes close to your monitor for added effect, implying there is a
security video recorder even if there isn't one
