Welcome! Lets get started.
To start using your DVR, you need the following:
1. A high-definition TV capable of displaying 720p or
1080p video. Look at the ports on the back or side of
your TV to make sure it has an HDMI input.
2. A router with a broadband internet connection.
3. A mobile device (Android or iOS) to download the
free HomeSafe View app.
Carefully unpack each item and discard any packaging not required.
Security Made Smarter
Congratulations on the purchase of your Swann DVR. This Quick Start Guide will assist you on getting your DVR up and
running as soon as possible. To make sure nothing was damaged during shipping, we recommend that you connect
everything and give it a try before you do a permanent installation.
Your DVR is designed to ventilate air
to keep it at an optimal temperature.
Keep both sides of your DVR free from
obstructions to allow it to ventilate.
