Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This camera is exclusively designed to be an add-on to a Swann AdvancedX series NVR Security System. It will not function as a standalone camera or with other NVR systems. Ensure your existing NVR system is within the AdvancedX series and has available channels for a new camera.
Setup:
- Connect the camera to your AdvancedX NVR using an Ethernet cable. This cable will carry both the video signal and power (PoE).
- Connect the camera to your NVR's PoE ports or through a PoE-enabled network switch that is connected to your NVR.
- Once physically connected, the camera should be automatically detected and configured by your AdvancedX NVR.
- Follow the on-screen prompts on your NVR or within the Swann Security app to add the camera to your system and customize its settings, such as motion detection zones and recording schedules.
Care:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the camera lens with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For the camera body, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the casing or lens.
- Connections: Regularly check the Ethernet cable and connections to ensure they are secure and free from damage. Ensure the camera's mounting is stable.
- Firmware: Keep your Swann AdvancedX NVR system's firmware updated, as updates often include improvements for camera compatibility and performance.
