Viewing the PRO-550/560/580 on a TV

After connecting the PRO-550/560/580 Camera directly to your TV and powering
it on as described on page 4, tune the TV to the correct input channel.

On your TV’s remote control, the input button is usually labelled as Input, Source,
A/V, Channel 0, AUX etc*.

Viewing and Recording the PRO-550/560/580 on a VCR/DVD Recorder

Connect the PRO-550/560/580 into an available input channel on your VCR/DVD­R in the same manner as the TV connection listed on page 4. Turn on your VCR/
DVD recorder and TV as if you were about to play a VCR tape or a DVD.

On your VCR/DVD recorder’s remote control, find the input button with is usually
labelled as L1, L2, Input, Source, A/V, Channel, 0, AUX etc.* Insert a tape and
push record to record the camera.

*Consult the TV or VCR/DVD instruction manual for details about changing input
channels.

The stand on the PRO-550/580
is deceptively adaptable. At first
glance it may appear to limit how
many options you have when
mounting and aiming the camera,
but this is simply untrue. The PRO­550/580 stand is almost infinitely
adaptable – it’s like the Rubik’s
Cube of CCTV camera stands!

You’ve got three points of articulation. The most obvious is the screw-secured elbow joint in the
centre of the stand (1). This one is pretty obvious and straight forward – loosen the screw, adjust
to the position you want, and then tighten the screw again to secure in place.

The second point of articulation (2) is the radial joint where the neck of the stand attaches
to the base. To adjust this joint, loosen the locking ring by rotating counter-clockwise. Ro­tate the camera and stand to the position you want then tighten the locking ring. By using
articulation points 1 and 2, you can aim the camera in virtually any direction.

Point 3, located where the camera attaches to the stand, is held in place by one locking
screw. Like point 2, it is a radial joint, allowing you to rotate the camera so that no matter
how points 1 and 2 are configured, the camera can still face upright. Simply loosen the
screw, rotate the camera to the upright position (so that up in your pictures is actually up)
then tighten the screw to lock into place.

Of course, there will always be some outlying cases where the camera and stand simply
won’t fit where you want to mount them. Maybe you have a hanging awning, or a drain
pipe in an inconvenient spot. In these cases, we suggest obtaining a mounting bracket,
which should be available from any good hardware store.

Problem: I can’t see the camera on my TV.
Solution: Ensure the camera is plugged in and the TV or VCR is tuned to the

correct input channel.

Problem: When I view my camera at night I only see a bright spot and no image.
Solution: Night Vision will reflect when shining through a window. Move the

camera to the other side of the window or another location.

Problem: The BNC Extension Cable will not connect to my TV.
Solution: Connect the BNC to RCA adapter to the end of the Extension Cable

and plug into the TV.

Problem: On my Swann DVR, Video Loss appears where my camera should be.
Solution: Check the Extension cable is securely connected to the camera and

check the connection is secure on the back of the DVR. Also ensure the camera
has power by trying a second power outlet.
