Important instructions
1. Make sure your camera is fixed correctly and
stable if fastened in place.
2. Only use the supplied power adapter (48V).
3. Do not manually pan and tilt your camera when
it is turned on as it may damage the internal com-
ponents.
4. Never place strain of any kind on the network
cable connection. It’s designed to clip into place to
prevent slippage, but it won’t support any weight
and can be easily broken by a sharp tug.
5. The audio input requires a powered or amplified
microphone or audio source to work correctly.
6. The earth connection is optional. For added
safety from lightning strikes and or power surges,
screw this to a metal surface or object.
7. To perform a factory reset, disconnect the pow-
er input, hold down the reset button, reconnect
the power input and continue holding the button
for at least 20 seconds then release.
8. This camera can only be used with Swann’s
NVR-7300 Series HD Network Video Recorders.
9. Have a look at page 6 for instructions on how to
control your camera.
Please note: Have a look at the camera location
tips included with your NVR, to select the best lo-
cation for your camera.
Important note: All jurisdictions have specific
laws and regulations relating to the use of cam-
eras. Before using any camera for any purpose,
it is the buyer’s responsibility to be aware of all
applicable laws and regulations that prohibit or
limit the use of cameras.

Installing the Wall Mount
1. The wall mount can be mounted onto a flat ver-
tical surface and must be of sufficient strength
to hold your camera.
2. For wooden surfaces, screw the wall mount
directly to the surface. For masonry surfaces
(brick or concrete) you’ll need to use the wall
plugs.
3. Position the wall mount in the location you
want to mount it. Make sure the location is rigid
to prevent vibration.
4. Using the appropriate screws for the surface
you’re mounting to, screw the wall mount into
place (use the top mounting holes first). Make
sure the wall mount is aligned straight, other-
wise the image will appear on an angle.
5. To gain access to the bottom two mounting
holes without obstruction, use a Phillips head
screwdriver to temporarily remove your dome
camera from the wall mount. Be careful as the
camera cable is connected to your dome camera
via one data and one power cable. Gently discon-
nect both cables (see illustration on page 2).
6. Screw the two remaining screws to the bottom
mounting holes to fasten into place.
7. Reattach the data and power cable to the rel-
evant connections on your dome camera then
screw the camera back onto the wall mount.
Make sure the rubber seal is sitting flush within
the groove of the camera casing and make sure
all the screws are securely fastened.
8. You’re now ready to use your dome camera.
For instructions on how to use your camera, go
to page 6 - Controlling your Dome Camera.

Installing the Ceiling Mounting Kit
1. The ceiling mounting kit consists of a ceil-
ing mount, cylinder pipe and a camera mount.
To use this, you need to remove the wall mount
first. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
your dome camera from the wall mount.
2. The camera cable is attached to your dome
camera via one data and one power cable. Gently
disconnect both cables and remove the camera
cable from the wall mount (see illustration on
page 2).
3. Screw the cylinder pipe to the ceiling mount
(make sure the connection is tight) and feed the
cable from the ceiling mount through the cylin-
der pipe.
4. Drill a hole in the ceiling at the desired loca-
tion and feed the camera connections inside the
ceiling (make sure the hole is big enough to fit all
the connections). Using the appropriate screws
for the surface you are mounting to, screw the
ceiling mount in place (make sure the location is
rigid to prevent vibration).
5. You’re now ready to attach the camera mount
to the cylinder pipe. Feed the data and power
cable through the top of the camera mount and
reattach them to the relevant connections on
your dome camera (don’t force the connections
as they only attach the one way). Make sure the
rubber seal is sitting flush within the groove of
the camera casing.
6. Screw the camera mount to your dome cam-
era then secure the camera mount to the cylin-
der pipe. Make sure all the screws are securely
fastened.

Controlling your Dome Camera
