Overview

The Swann Super HD Security Camera is a 4 Megapixel bullet camera designed for use with HD NVRs, offering advanced surveillance capabilities for both home and business environments. This camera provides outstanding 4 Megapixels Super HD video image clarity, boasting 75% more pixels than 1080p, which allows for enhanced digital zoom and close-up detail that needs to be seen to be believed.

Function Description:

The primary function of this device is to capture high-definition video surveillance footage. It is equipped with a built-in microphone, enabling users to not only see but also hear what is happening in the monitored area. The camera offers comprehensive day and night vision capabilities, featuring a wide 75° viewing angle and the latest infrared cut filter for amazing night vision up to 100ft (30m). This ensures continuous monitoring regardless of lighting conditions. The camera is built to withstand various environmental conditions, with a weather-resistant rating of IP66, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation. It utilizes Power Over Ethernet (PoE) technology, simplifying installation by allowing both power and data to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable when connected directly to a compatible Swann NVR. This professional surveillance camera is designed to provide peace of mind by capturing crucial details such as license plates, faces, and clothing colors in stunning 4 Megapixels.

Usage Features:

The Swann Super HD Security Camera is designed for straightforward integration into a Swann Super HD Network Video Recorder (NVR) system. It is compatible with Swann's Super HD NVRs, including models NVR4-7400™, NVR8-7400™, and NVR16-7400™, which are essential for cutting-edge IP surveillance. Installation is made easy with the included Cat 5E Ethernet cable and all necessary accessories. When connecting the camera to a Swann NVR, it is automatically detected and assigned an IP address upon NVR startup. The camera will appear on-screen shortly after being plugged in and is assigned to the first available channel by the NVR. Users can manually adjust camera settings such as backlight compensation, exposure, and day/night mode to optimize performance for the specific environment. The camera's 3-axis mounting bracket allows for versatile installation on walls and ceilings, ensuring optimal viewing angles. For outdoor installations, it is highly recommended to use waterproof tape to protect the cable connection area between the camera's LAN port and the extension cable's Ethernet plug, preventing water ingress and ensuring long-term functionality. The camera's casing is robust and resistant to water, weather, and tampering, though the cable and connector require protection.

Maintenance Features:

Maintenance for the Swann Super HD Security Camera is designed to be user-friendly. The camera's weather-resistant aluminum casing ensures durability and protection against the elements, reducing the need for frequent physical maintenance. In case of issues with camera detection by the NVR, troubleshooting steps include ensuring a direct connection without hubs or switches, checking all cable connections for security, trying a different NVR channel, and rebooting the system for an IP address refresh. If night vision is not functioning correctly (e.g., image is mostly black or white), users are advised to re-aim the camera to avoid bright light sources that might interfere with the light sensor or cause infrared light to bounce back into the lens. For situations where the camera needs to be restored to its factory default settings, a reset button is provided. To perform a reset, the Ethernet cable should be unplugged from the camera's LAN connector, the reset button pressed and held while plugging the Ethernet cable back in, and then released after a few seconds. Swann offers Lifetime Support, with a help desk available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to assist with any installation, usage, or maintenance queries. This comprehensive support ensures that users can easily maintain their security system.
