Introduction Congratulations on your decision to purchase this varifocal* Swann HD IP camera! Whether you’ve chosen the standard case or the dome form factor, this is an excellent addition to your Swann NVR monitoring solution. IMPORTANT: This camera is intended for use with a Full HD-capable Swann NVR, such as the NVR-7200/7250 series. This is camera can work as a stand-alone IP camera, but may not be compatible with any other NVR or network video device.
DC 12V IN Connection Guide Top, from left to right: DC 12V Input and Network Video Port (Video Out). Required Connections Network Port (Video Out): The main connection for the camera. This connects using the included CAT5E cable to one of the Network Video Inputs on the rear of the NVR (see your NVR manual for additional details). This is the only required connection when connecting the camera to a Swann PoE NVR.
Cable Management When connecting your cables: 1. Never place strain of any kind on the network cable connection. It’s designed to clip into place to prevent slippage, but it won’t support any weight and can easily be broken by a sharp tug. Exercise caution. 2. Ensure that all cables are sheltered from moisture, weather and sunlight.

Installation Tips and Tricks Choosing a Location The Varifocal cameras are very flexible, and can be installed practically anywhere. Some of the things you’ll have to consider when choosing a location are: • What you want to monitor, and where you’ll get the best view of it. • How you’re going to connect the camera to your monitoring system. Remember that cables and connections should be kept out of the weather. • How to keep the camera out of harm’s way. Up high in protected corners is a good option.
Troubleshooting Q: I can’t see anything at night! A: There are a few possible solutions to this problem. Here are some of the most common. • If the image is mostly black, then this may indicate that the night vision isn’t turning on. A bright light source somewhere in the picture can fool the light sensor into thinking it’s still daytime - try re-aiming the camera. • If the image is mostly white, then this indicates that the IR light from the night vision is bouncing back into the lens.
