Adjusting the Camera Angle
• Loosening screw 1 will allow you to tilt the camera up
and down. Tighten the screw when you have finished.
• Loosening screw 2 will adjust the camera, so it can look
left or right. Tighten the screw when you have finished.
• Loosening the locking ring (3) will allow you to rotate
the barrel of the camera, so no matter what direction it
faces, you can rotate the camera so that your images are
correctly oriented.
Cable Management
• When running your cable, try to avoid bending it at sharp angles.
• Don’t put your cable near live electrical wiring. AC electricity generates radio “noise”
which can interfere with the signal from your camera.
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.
Troubleshooting
Q: On my Swann DVR, ‘Video Loss’ appears where the image from my camera should be.
A: Check the extension cable (power and video) is securely connected to the camera. Check
the video output from the camera is securely connected to a video input channel on the DVR.
Check the power from the camera is securely connected to a power supply.
Q: When I view an image from the camera at night I only see a bright spot and no image.
A: A reflection can be caused in night vision mode if the camera is looking through a window.
At night, the infrared light the camera uses to see in the dark can ‘bounce back’ off a reflective
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 weatherproof
for a reason!
Q: The BNC extension cable will not connect to my TV.
A: Many TV’s and monitors do not have a BNC connector but do have an RCA connector.
Connect a BNC to RCA adapter (not supplied) to the end of the extension cable and then plug
into the RCA socket on your TV or monitor.
