Tips for Setting Up Your Security System
Please find the below handy setup tips for your security system
- For best results do NOT point the camera towards a light source such as the sun or light.
- Also do not have the camera in a shaded area looking out into a well lit area as this will display poor results. Example: If the camera is hidden in a mailbox, because the mailbox is dark inside the camera sensor will try to adjust according to the available light. But if outside the mailbox there is good light like sunshine, you will get poor results. The light to the camera sensor in the front of the camera needs to be the same as the light at the focal target for best results.
- Power for Wired and Wireless Cameras, both types of cameras require a power source, although the camera maybe weatherproof the connections to the AV cable and power adapter are not. Please make sure that these connections are in a water or moisture free environment.
- Over time the lens or front case glass may become dirty, please use a lint free cloth to clean both. Similar cloth that would be used to clean a CD Disc.
- Power adapters: all power adapters are for indoor use only and must be shielded from outdoor elements. When using an outdoor camera, please use extension cords to power the camera and keep cables away from the outdoor elements.
- When installing the camera, before screwing in the mounting bracket, check the image on the screen to see if the picture is clear from direct sun or light.

This worked a few minutes at a time for about 4 test sessions (I planned to use it inside, for a podcast solution)...didn't come back up the 5th time I looked. It had been plugged in the whole time, and certainly should not have died within a week.
I do have other Swann similar products that have worked well for me...this isn't one of them.

The manual specifies this as an SSC Technology Sensor.
Pros:
Zoom lens
fairly small
contains all the cables, and adapters you need
good resolution
nice color image
Cons:
does not work with IR lights
difficult to install
Slightly blurry focus
You'll need to have a handheld tv, so that you can adjust the lens during installation. The image goes out of focus every time you change the focal length (zoom). It's a bit difficult to get a crystal clear focus. For one thing, the focus changes at the slightest turn of the knob. Also, objects 50 ft away look fairly clear, but objects 10 feet away look out of focus.
I had trouble getting a tight installation. Even after tightening everything to the max, the mount keeps jiggling.
The lack of IR sensitivity means it's useless as a security camera. I have the propery flooded with IR lights, so I don't need LEDs on the camera. That's why I purchased this unit. Unfortunately, I can only use this as a daylight only security camera.
