The Dummy PIR Camera is a versatile miniature CCD Security camera that produces a high quality
image without the need for a bulky easily seen camera. The Dummy PIR Camera is designed to blend in
with your security alarm detectors to make it difficult for criminals to detect and avoid. It can be used to
provide your home or office with a clear picture that can be easily displayed on a DVR, TV, VCR or
Security Monitor.
The Dummy PIR camera is designed for best performance when used with Swann DVRs and Security
Monitors, but will just as easily work with your existing CCTV Equipment, TV, VCR or a Computer with a
video capture card. The Dummy PIR camera is designed to be used indoors, but could be used outdoors
with a suitable protective housing or enclosure. The Dummy PIR camera can be used for a variety of
purposes including monitoring callers at the door or keeping your car, yard, shop or children’s play area
under observation.

You should position your cameras to cover the areas most exposed to risk. See
our suggestions below for some ideas:
Take note that the Dummy PIR camera will require a waterproof housing to
protect it from the elements if used outdoors. Direct exposure to the effects of
the weather will void the warranty.
Where to Place The Security Stickers:
1. On your front window
2. On side windows
3. Near entrance points - doors, gates
4. Next to a dummy camera mounted outside
5. On the front counter
6. On the cash register
7. Next to an obvious camera
!
!
! Please test all devices before final installation as it is far easier to rectify problems at this stage.
! To avoid the risk of damage to your product, use only the supplied power adapters.
! Areas with a bright background may cause degradation of the image. If possible position
your camera so that it doesn’t point towards a very bright light source.
! Do not cut the DC power cable of the Camera to fit with another power source. This may result
in damage to the Camera & any unauthorised modifications will void your warranty.
! The Dummy PIR camera is not water or weather proof and requires a suitable protective enclosure
if it is to be situated in an outdoor location.
Best Results are achieved when the camera is looking down on the subject area.
A hood should be used to stop sunlight entering the lens and causing the picture to wash out
during bright daylight.
1. Deterrence is the best and most cost effective security method for:
- preventing criminal activity before it occurs is preferable to, and cheaper than, cleaning
up after it occurs
- the Swann Dummy PIR Camera is an example of cost effective security utilising
the 'art of deterrence' to outsmart thieves and criminals
2. Always place cameras high enough that they can't be closely inspected or easily accessed
3. Position cameras and dummies where they can be easily seen for maximum deterrence
4. Position a monitor where it can be seen but not touched
5. If you have more than one camera use a monitor with channel switching function, a Quad
Processor or DVR with multiple views to show potential offenders the level of coverage you have
protecting your site.
6. Add extra Swann dummy cameras to give the impression of heightened security
7. Purchase a Swann DVR (product code SW-R-DVR4NET) to monitor and record activity on your
cameras. Depending on the settings used, DVRs can record for months.
8. Position a VCR with tapes or boxes close to your monitor for added effect, implying there is a
security video recorder even if there isn't one

These step by step instructions are provided for you to enable a quick and simple installation of
your camera. Please refer to the diagram over the page for component identification details.
Step 1: At the end of your Dummy PIR Camera cable you will find two plugs:
•Video BNC Female
•DC Power Jack
Step 2a: Plug the BNC Female (1b) into the BNC Male to RCA Male adapter (3) and turn
the outer ring to lock the connectors. Plug the BNC Male to RCA Male adapter (3)
into the RCA Video In socket (4) on your TV or VCR (usually colored yellow and located
at the back). This is the best method of connecting the camera initially to test it for correct
operation.
Step 2b: When you are mounting the camera permanently it is recommended that you use the
included coaxial cable with BNC male connectors to ensure the best possible fit and
electrical connection. You can also use the Swann Security Camera Extension cables with
BNC adapters such as the 120ft AV Cable (Product code SW-P-36M) or the 60ft AV
Cable (Product Code SW-AVCABLE). Check the Swann website for information on other
Swann cable and accessory products or see your local electrical store for more information on
what cables and accessories are available in their range to suit Security Cameras with BNC
video connectors.
Step 3: Connect the Power Connector (2a) at the end of the power adapter (2) in to your
Dummy PIR Camera’s DC Jack (1a).
Step 4: Plug the power adapter (2) into the mains power point on your wall and switch on.
Step 5: If you have an AV TV with RCA sockets you will need to switch the TV to the AV channel
to view the camera. To connect the camera to your VCR, you will need to turn the VCR to
the AV Input selection and turn your TV onto the channel you would normally use to view
a tape or movie on your VCR. This channel may be activated by a button on your remote
that is marked with this symbol , L1 or L2 or possibly AV1 or AV2. Please read the
instructions for your VCR or TV for more information on using their AV inputs.
Step 6: To mount your camera on a wall, first detach the wall-mount from the rear of the camera by
sliding it gently downward. Place the mount in the position you wish to mount the camera
and carefully mark where the holes will need to go with a pen or pencil. Using the appropriate
tools for the material you are mounting to, make a suitable hole for the included wall plugs
and then fit them into the holes (if these wall plugs are not suitable for your application
purchase more suitable fasteners from your local hardware store and use these for mounting
the camera). Once the mounting is securely fastened to the wall, carefully slide the camera
down on to the mounting. Once this is done, run the cables back to your Security Monitor, TV
or VCR. Any holes that you make to allow the cable to pass through will have to be at least
5/8” (15mm) to allow the connectors to pass through.
