Mounting The Camera (Cont.); Troubleshooting - Swann PRO-531 User Manual

Mounting the Camera (cont.)

• Line up the base onto the ceiling or wall where you want to secure the camera
and mark in pencil where the three screws will pass through the base, as well
as a hole if you intend to feed through the power and video cable. Using these
markers, drill the necessary holes.
• Secure the base to a ceiling or wall using three screws. Make sure the two metal
prongs in the base are on the outside since this is to what the dome camera
attaches.
• Pass the video and power cables from the extension cable through the hole in the
wall and attach them to the power and video cables on the camera.
• Feed the power and video connectors and any slack on the cable back through
the hole to neaten the appearance of the wiring. If needed, use some conduit to
shield the cables.
• Secure the camera to the base by lining up the prongs on the base with the round
holes on the camera base and then twisting the camera clockwise to secure it
onto the two holding prongs.
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 a 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.
