GETTING STARTED
Before using the camera for the first time, fully charge it with the included micro USB charging cable.
1Pull open the rubber cap on the bottom of the camera.
2Slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON position Note: You can also charge the camera with the
switch OFF but you won’t be able to check the LED indicator for the charging status.
3Insert the smaller end of the micro USB charging cable into the micro USB port on the camera.
4Insert the other end of the micro USB charging cable into a USB wall charger such as the USB
power adapter for your smartphone.
5The LED indicator on the front of the camera will turn solid blue indicating that the camera is
charging. When the camera is fully charged, the LED indicator will turn off. Actual charging times
may vary depending on the USB power supply (DC5V 2.1A is recommended for faster charging)
and the remaining battery level. A full charge may take up to 6 hours.
6 After charging is finished, unplug the micro USB charging cable from the camera and make sure
to close the rubber cap tightly to keep out water and dust.
The camera comes with a 32GB microSD card pre-installed for recording events and performing
firmware updates. You can easily replace the microSD card with a new one (max. 128GB card
supported), if needed in the future. Simply open the rubber cap on the bottom of the camera, eject
the current microSD card (push in until it clicks) from the microSD card slot, and then insert the new
microSD card (with the label side facing the front of the camera) into the slot until it clicks into place.
You should format the microSD card the first time it is used. From the Swann Security app, go to
Device Settings > [your camera] > Advanced Settings and tap Format.

Launch the Swann Security app and sign in. Tap the Pair Device button on the screen (or tap the menu
icon in the top left and select “Pair Device”). The app will now guide you through the pairing process
to set up the camera with your Wi-Fi network.
Before you begin, have the camera with you and be close to your router. Please note that the camera
is only compatible with the 2.4GHz network. If your router is using the 5GHz band, please ensure it is
operating in mixed mode.
SET UP THE CORECAM

EN
The camera can be conveniently placed on a table or shelf, or mounted on a flat surface using the
included bracket. Because the camera is completely wire-free, you’ll have a lot of flexibility on where you
can install it. Choose a location with strong, reliable Wi-Fi reception to ensure best video streaming and
battery performance. The easiest way to check is to use your smartphone. Connect your smartphone to
your Wi-Fi network at the spot you have chosen and see if you get 2 bars of Wi-Fi signal or more. As a
general rule, the nearer the camera is to your router, the better the wireless connection quality. If you’re
finding the wireless signal is too weak or out of range, consider installing a Wi-Fi range extender.
CAMERA PLACEMENT
Mounting the bracket
If mounting to a wooden surface, screw
bracket directly to the surface.
If mounting to a masonry surface (brick,
concrete), mark and drill holes, insert wall
plugs, and screw bracket to the surface.
Attaching the camera to the bracket
Screw the threaded hole at the bottom of the
camera onto the threaded post of the bracket
by turning the locking knob clockwise until the
camera is securely attached.
After installation, make sure to
remove the protective plastic film
covering the camera lens.
Adjusting the viewing angle
Loosen the adjustment ring slightly by
turning counter-clockwise. Swivel or tilt
the camera as needed then tighten the
adjustment ring to lock the position.

HELP AND RESOURCES
Motion detection
The camera’s PIR motion sensor detects heat signatures of moving objects. You’ll generally get good
detection results by pointing the camera downwards at an angle where people will be moving across
the coverage area before heading directly towards the camera. You can turn motion detection on or off,
as well as adjust the motion detection sensitivity settings using the Swann Security app.
LED indicator guide
The LED light on the front of your camera helps inform you of what is happening with the device.
Swann Security app manual
To better understand the Swann Security App’s interface and features, access the app manual (Menu
> User Manual). You can learn about navigating the various app screens to view live camera stream,
enable 2-way talk, playback recordings, configure modes, check battery level, and more.
Rebooting the camera
On rare occasions, it might be necessary to reboot your camera if it becomes unresponsive. A simple
reboot can also fix connectivity issues quickly. To reboot the camera, open the rubber cap on the
bottom of the camera, slide the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position, wait for 60 seconds, then slide the
ON/OFF switch back to the ON position.
