About the Camera
Congratulations on your purchase of this PRO-760 from Swann! You’ve chosen well: we think this is one of the finest CCTV video cameras available. The PRO-760 is great for monitoring a wide open space whilst maintaining a high level of detail, even at night - it can see up to 30m/100ft in the dark.
Placement Guide
• You will be able to see a really wide area. If it’s mounted high up in a square corner, you’ll probably be able to see along both walls. You’ll be able to monitor a large area with only one camera.
• Things may look further away than they really are. Anything further than a few meters (ten feet or so) from the camera may appear to be too small for the level of detail you require.
• Vertical and horizontal lines might appear curved when they near the edge of the camera’s view. This is normal, and it’s the side effect of cramming so much viewing area onto one screen.
The PRO-760 is great for monitoring rooms or areas as wide as, or wider than, they are long. For really wide areas, you may need a second camera.
It’s best mounted high-up in a corner looking down into the room, so that it can look over intervening obstacles. Also, the higher the camera is mounted, the harder it’ll be for an intruder to access the camera or interfere with it.
Installing the Camera
The camera mounts onto a flat, vertical surface using screws. The surface must have sufficient strength to hold the camera. Materials such as hardwood, brick or masonry are good options, and we’ve included all the gear you’ll need to mount it there (except the tools - sorry, you’ll still need your own drill). You can mount the camera onto a metal surface, but you’ll need to supply your own mounting hardware.
To mount the camera:
• Using the holes on the camera stand as a guide, mark the locations on your wall to drill. Make sure the wall is thick and strong enough that you won’t drill through it.
• If the wall is masonry, brickwork or similar, use the provided wall plugs. If the wall is made of wood, then the camera can be screwed directly onto the wall.
• Ensure that the cable is protected from the weather. The camera is weatherproof, but the cable (particularly the power and video-out plugs) is not.
• Once the camera has been mounted, ensure that it is securely fixed in place. The camera is vandal resistant, but that won’t help if an intruder can remove the whole camera!
Troubleshooting
Problem: At night, all I see is white. Solution: The camera is most likely looking through a window. At night, the infrared light the camera
uses to see in the dark can ‘bounce back’ off a reflective surface (such as glass, water, spider webs, some ceramics and so on) and effectively blind the camera. If you want to see outside, mount the camera outside - we made it weatherproof for a reason!
Problem: I see only a blank screen where my image should be. Solution: Check the wiring to the camera, and ensure the camera is being supplied power from
the included power adapter. Try using a different video lead, or connecting the camera to a different television or monitor. Be sure there are no devices interrupting your signal, such as a DVR or VCR that isn’t outputting the signal correctly.
Problem: I can’t see anything at night. Solution: The maximum range of the night vision is just that, the maximum range. If there’s nothing
in this range, you won’t see anything. Also, some dark objects (like the proverbial black cat) may not reflect enough light to be seen except as a silhouette if the background is brighter. Some objects which can easily be seen in visible light don’t reflect much infrared light.

Tips & Tricks
• Try to aim the camera at an area which is evenly lit. Objects or people in shadows near brightly lit objects are very hard to see. It’s better to have the camera in the shade looking into the light than vice-versa.
• When running your cable, try to avoid bending it at sharp angles.
• Don’t put your cable near live electrical wiring. AC electricity generates radio “noise” which can
interfere with the signal from your camera.
