FOURTIFY HARDWARE CONNECTION
Follow the steps below to connect the cameras as shown in the connection diagram on page 4.
1Connect the expansion camera’s Video and Power cable to the BNC and Power extension cable.
Then connect the other end of the extension cable’s BNC plug to one of the three available Video
cables on the main camera, and the Power plug to one of the available plugs on the 4-way power
splitter. Make sure to twist and lock the BNC plugs to secure the connection.
2Repeat Step 1 to connect the remaining expansion cameras.
3Connect the main camera’s power cable to the remaining plug on the 4-way power splitter. Then
connect the other end of the power splitter to the power extension cable.
4Connect the power adapter to the power extension cable. Then plug the power adapter into a wall
outlet. The status LED on the main camera will start blinking blue and you will hear the voice
prompt “Ready for pairing”. Proceed to the Swann Security app to set up and pair the main camera
with your Wi-Fi network.
5(Optional) The Ethernet connector cable on the main camera provides the option of a wired
connection to your router as a backup connection (when connection to your Wi-Fi network is
weak or unstable). The initial connection must be made using Wi-Fi. Once the main camera is
connected to your Wi-Fi network via the app, you can use your own Ethernet cable to connect the
main camera to a spare LAN port on the back of your router.
Fourtify Hardware Connection Guide
CAUTION: Take extra care when handling the main camera after it has been powered up. Due to
the high performance of the Fourtify Wi-Fi security system, the front casing of the main camera
may get very hot during operation. This is normal and does not affect the functioning of the main
camera in any way.

SET UP THE FOURTIFY
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 Fourtify main camera with your Wi-Fi network.
Please note that the Fourtify main 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.

FOURTIFY CAMERA PLACEMENT
If mounting to a wooden surface, screw the
camera directly to the surface.
If mounting to a masonry surface (brick,
concrete), insert wall plugs before screwing
the camera to the surface.
Adjusting viewing angle
Slightly loosen the appropriate lock screw by rotating
counterclockwise. Adjust the camera position as
needed then tighten the lock screw back.
Optimising 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 (see figure on the right). Less

sensitive
The Fourtify cameras can be mounted on a flat surface using the supplied mounting screws and wall
plugs (4 sets). The Fourtify main camera should be installed in a location where the Wi-Fi network
connection is reliable. 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 or you can also connect an Ethernet cable from the main camera directly to your router.
After installation, remove the protective
plastic film covering the camera lens.

HELP AND RESOURCES
Replacing the MicroSD Card
The Fourtify main camera comes with a 64GB microSD card pre-installed for recording events and
performing firmware updates. To replace this card (max. 256GB card supported):
1Remove the port cover at the bottom of the camera using a Phillips screwdriver.
2Eject the current microSD card (push in until it clicks) from the microSD card slot and then insert
the new microSD card into the microSD card slot until it clicks into place.
3Restart the camera (unplug and replug the power). You will hear the voice prompt “SD Card not
recognised, SD Card will be formatted next“. The camera will automatically format the microSD card for use
with the system. Once formatting is complete, you will hear the voice prompt “Camera is ready”.
4Replace the port cover with the previously removed screws.
