Congratulations on your purchase of this 1080p
HD Security Camera. This is a state-of-the-art
dome security camera with digital imaging tech-
nology for 6x the picture sharpness of tradition-
al security systems. The 1080p (2.1 Megapixels)
resolution is able to generate super clear video
images and the built-in microphone allows you
to hear what’s happening. See everything during
the night with the latest infrared cut filter for
amazing night vision to 98ft/30m. It’s built to suit
any conditions with weather resistant rating of
IP66 for indoor & outdoor use.
Important note - All jurisdictions have specific
laws and regulations relating to the use of cam-
eras. Before using any camera for any purpose,
it is the buyer’s responsibility to be aware of all
applicable laws and regulations that prohibit or
limit the use of cameras.
Important safety instructions
1) Make sure the camera is fixed correctly and
stable if fastened in place.
2) Do not operate if wires and terminals are ex-
posed.
3) This camera can only be used in combination
with Swann’s NVR-7085, NVR-7285 and NVR-7300
HD network video recorders.
4) The reset button is used to perform a factory
reset. Disconnect the Ethernet cable, hold down
the reset button then connect the Ethernet cable.
Keep holding the reset button for 20 seconds then
release. The NVR will take a moment to detect
and display the camera.
Warning - Modifications not approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void user’s au-
thority to operate the equipment.
Introduction

Choosing a location for your Camera
Some things to consider when choosing a location -
1) What you want to monitor and where you’ll get the
best view of it.
2) How you’re going to connect the camera to your
monitoring system; remember that cables and
connections should be kept out of the weather.
3) It’s recommended to mount your camera at an
elevated position to minimise harm.
4) Place your camera as close to the area of interest
as practicable. The best position is from about 4m
(13ft) above looking slightly down, keeping in mind
the details you are looking for.
5) Although the sky looks nice when you look at the
live view from your camera, it is an unlikely direction
for an offender to approach, make sure your camera
has minimal sky in it as the light in daylight can make
the foreground of the image darker.
6) Think about the most likely way a potential offender
may approach your home, use your cameras to give
you the best coverage of these areas.
7) 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. However, the cable and
connector are vulnerable and require protection.
8) Even though the camera is weather and water-
resistant, prolonged exposure to adverse weather
conditions such as sunlight or excessive moisture,
may eventually damage the internal components of
the camera and adversely affect its performance.
9) Avoid bending your cables at sharp angles.
10) Don’t put your cable near live electrical wiring.
AC electricity generates radio “noise” which can
interfere with the signal from your camera.

Connecting your Camera
To connect your camera to the NVR, simply connect the supplied Ethernet cable to the LAN connection on the
camera then plug the other end of the cable (1) into one of the IP camera inputs on the back of the NVR.
It doesn’t really matter which input you use as they are quite versatile and will be configured in a later step. The
Ethernet cable is the same at both ends so it doesn’t matter which end plugs into the camera or NVR.

Mounting your Camera
The camera can be mounted onto a flat vertical or horizontal surface and
must be of sufficient strength to hold the camera. To mount the camera -
• Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the screw (1) from the
mounting clip. Press down on the mounting clip and carefully remove
the dome cover.
• You’re now free to remove the camera to gain access to the mounting
bracket (2). There are four mounting holes available.
• Position the camera in the location you want to mount to then mark
the mounting holes on the surface to position the screws. Using the
appropriate screws for the surface you are mounting to, screw the
camera into place. Place the camera back onto the mounting bracket.
• To reinstall the dome cover, there are two dome clips located on the
mounting base. Place the dome cover into the dome clips first then
press down on the cover until it locks into place. Place the screw back
onto the mounting clip and tighten.
• The dome cover can be rotated left or right and the camera can be
aimed in almost any direction from wherever you choose to mount it.
