FOURTIFY HARDWARE CONNECTION

Follow the steps below to connect the cameras as shown in the connection diagram on page 4.

1Connect the expansion camera’s Video and Power cable to the BNC and Power extension cable.

Then connect the other end of the extension cable’s BNC plug to one of the three available Video

cables on the main camera, and the Power plug to one of the available plugs on the 4-way power

splitter. Make sure to twist and lock the BNC plugs to secure the connection.

2Repeat Step 1 to connect the remaining expansion cameras.

3Connect the main camera’s power cable to the remaining plug on the 4-way power splitter. Then

connect the other end of the power splitter to the power extension cable.

4Connect the power adapter to the power extension cable. Then plug the power adapter into a wall

outlet. The status LED on the main camera will start blinking blue and you will hear the voice

prompt “Ready for pairing”. Proceed to the Swann Security app to set up and pair the main camera

with your Wi-Fi network.

5(Optional) The Ethernet connector cable on the main camera provides the option of a wired

connection to your router as a backup connection (when connection to your Wi-Fi network is

weak or unstable). The initial connection must be made using Wi-Fi. Once the main camera is

connected to your Wi-Fi network via the app, you can use your own Ethernet cable to connect the

main camera to a spare LAN port on the back of your router.

Fourtify Hardware Connection Guide

CAUTION: Take extra care when handling the main camera after it has been powered up. Due to

the high performance of the Fourtify Wi-Fi security system, the front casing of the main camera

may get very hot during operation. This is normal and does not affect the functioning of the main

camera in any way.

DOWNLOAD THE SWANN SECURITY APP

1Download the latest version of the Swann Security app from the Apple App Store® or Google

Play™ Store on your iOS or Android device. Simply search for "Swann Security".

2Open the app and create your Swann Security account by tapping “Not yet registered? Sign

Up” at the bottom of the screen. Then, activate your Swann Security account by confirming the

verification email that is sent to the registered email address.

SET UP THE FOURTIFY

Launch the Swann Security app and sign in. Tap the Pair Device button on the screen (or tap the menu

icon in the top left and select “Pair Device”). The app will now guide you through the pairing process

to set up the Fourtify main camera with your Wi-Fi network.

Please note that the Fourtify main camera is only compatible with the 2.4GHz network. If your router is

using the 5GHz band, please ensure it is operating in mixed mode.

FOURTIFY CAMERA PLACEMENT

If mounting to a wooden surface, screw the

camera directly to the surface.

If mounting to a masonry surface (brick,

concrete), insert wall plugs before screwing

the camera to the surface.

Adjusting viewing angle

Slightly loosen the appropriate lock screw by rotating

counterclockwise. Adjust the camera position as

needed then tighten the lock screw back.

Optimising motion detection

The camera’s PIR motion sensor detects heat signatures of moving objects.

You’ll generally get good detection results by pointing the camera downwards

at an angle where people will be moving across the coverage area before

heading directly towards the camera (see figure on the right). Less

sensitive

The Fourtify cameras can be mounted on a flat surface using the supplied mounting screws and wall

plugs (4 sets). The Fourtify main camera should be installed in a location where the Wi-Fi network

connection is reliable. The easiest way to check is to use your smartphone. Connect your smartphone

to your Wi-Fi network at the spot you have chosen and see if you get 2 bars of Wi-Fi signal or more.

As a general rule, the nearer the camera is to your router, the better the wireless connection quality.

If you’re finding the wireless signal is too weak or out of range, consider installing a Wi-Fi range

extender or you can also connect an Ethernet cable from the main camera directly to your router.

After installation, remove the protective

plastic film covering the camera lens.

HELP AND RESOURCES

Replacing the MicroSD Card

The Fourtify main camera comes with a 64GB microSD card pre-installed for recording events and

performing firmware updates. To replace this card (max. 256GB card supported):

1Remove the port cover at the bottom of the camera using a Phillips screwdriver.

2Eject the current microSD card (push in until it clicks) from the microSD card slot and then insert

the new microSD card into the microSD card slot until it clicks into place.

3Restart the camera (unplug and replug the power). You will hear the voice prompt “SD Card not

recognised, SD Card will be formatted next“. The camera will automatically format the microSD card for use

with the system. Once formatting is complete, you will hear the voice prompt “Camera is ready”.

4Replace the port cover with the previously removed screws.
