About the OSD
So - you’ve got one (or more!) of Swann’s range of PRO cameras, and you want
to use some of the advanced features. Good call! It may seem a little tricky at first,
but it’s pretty easy once you’re up and running.
You can adjust almost any aspect of how the camera captures images. If you’ve got
experience in photography or video-making, then many of the camera’s functions
are things you’ll be familiar with.
If you don’t know much about cameras and optics, don’t worry - there’s nothing
you can do in the OSD which can actually damage the camera. If it does all go
wrong, you can use the Reset to Factory Default option to set everything back
to the default/automatic settings.

Using the Quick Configuration
