Introduction
Congratulations on your decision to purchase this varifocal* Swann HD IP camera!
Whether you’ve chosen the standard case or the dome form factor, this is an excellent
addition to your Swann NVR monitoring solution.
IMPORTANT: This camera is intended for use with a
Full HD-capable Swann NVR, such as the NVR-7200/7250 series.
This is camera can work as a stand-alone IP camera, but may not be
compatible with any other NVR or network video device.
If you are looking for instructions on how to use these cameras as a stand-alone IP
camera solution, you can nd information on our website, www.swann.com.
Where to Begin?
This short manual will walk you through the connection, mounting, aiming and
lens conguration of your camera, as well as suggest some tips and tricks for placing
your cameras and designing your system.
If you have any trouble, look towards the end of the booklet where you’ll nd a short
troubleshooting guide, as well as technical support details.
*What does “varifocal” mean? A variable focus lens allows you to zoom the camera’s view in and out. It’s
like a zoom lens on a digital camera, but it’s pretty rare for CCTV systems to feature varifocal lenses. We’ve
included them here on these cameras because we think it makes them suitable for a huge range of locations
and applications.

Connection Guide
DC 12V IN
Top, from left to right: DC 12V Input and Network Video Port (Video Out).
Required Connections
Network Port (Video Out): The main connection for the camera. This connects using
the included CAT5E cable to one of the Network Video Inputs on the rear of the NVR
(see your NVR manual for additional details). This is the only required connection
when connecting the camera to a Swann PoE NVR.
We do not recommend or support the use of any cables other than those
supplied with your camera/NVR, nor modifying the supplied cables.
Optional: Advanced Users Only
DC 12V Input: The camera is intended to be powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet).
This means you will not have to connect this port when the camera is directly
connected to a Swann NVR supporting PoE (such as the NVR-7200 series).
If you are connecting the camera to your NVR via additional network hardware such
as switches and routers that do not support PoE then you can power the camera
using this DC 12V input.
Note that using this method will require advanced networking knowledge to set up
the camera successfully on your NVR.
