Getting to know your Camera (ADS-446)
EN
Congratulations on the purchase of your SwannCloud camera. This quick start guide will assist you on
getting your camera up and running as soon as possible. We recommend that you connect everything and
give it a try before you do a permanent installation, to make sure nothing was damaged during shipping.
A) Light Sensor
- Detects the amount of
light available and turns on the IR LEDs
when necessary.
B) IR (Infrared) LEDs
- The camera will use
these in low-light conditions to generate
a black and white image, even in total
darkness.
C) PIR (Passive infrared) Sensor
- This
is an electronic sensor that measures
infrared light radiating from objects in its
field of view.
A) Micro-SD Card Slot
- Inserting a Mi-
cro-SD card allows you to capture a series
of snapshots and video files directly to the
card, as well as setting an alarm schedule
so it records when it has detected motion.
This is optional and is recommended for
advanced users only.
B) Mini HDMI
- Connect a mini HDMI cable
so you can see the live view image on your
HDTV.
A) Microphone
- Allows the camera to hear
nearby sounds and stream them with the
video.
B) Speaker
- The various alerts and alarms
will be heard from here.
C) Reset
- When pressed and held for
more than 10 seconds when the power is
disconnected and reconnected, all settings
will revert to the factory defaults.
D) Bracket Mount
- The provided mounting
bracket connects here.

First thing to do is to screw
the provided Wi-Fi antenna
into the antenna socket
located on the camera. Use a
clockwise motion to connect.
It is recommended to leave the
antenna in a vertical position
for best reception.
Now connect the supplied
power adapter to the power
input on the camera.

Now connect the
supplied power adapter
to the power input on
the camera.
Screw the camera stand
to the bracket mount
located on the camera.
Use a clockwise motion
to connect. Adjust the
stand accordingly.
Even though both models primarily connect to your home network wirelessly, they can also connect to
your router using the supplied LAN cable. The main advantage of a LAN connection is that you don’t get
disconnections or dropouts as you would with a wireless connection.
