About the Camera

Congratulations on your purchase of this PRO-CAM from Swann! You've chosen well: we
think this is one of the finest CCTV video cameras available. The PRO-CAM is great for
monitoring a specific area and is able to provide a high level of detail, even at night - it can
see up to 35m/115ft in the dark.
Placement Guide
The PRO-CAM has a 6mm, 45° lens built-in which
allows it to focus its attention onto one specific area.
What does this mean for you when placing it?
• The camera will focus on the one particular
area in front of the lens, but won't see much
happening to the sides of it. You'll need to aim
the camera specifically at what you want to see.
• Objects and people will look like they are slightly
closer to the camera than they really are. You'll
be able to monitor a space which is as long (or
longer) than it is wide.
The PRO-CAM is great for monitoring long, narrow
spaces such as hallways or corridors. It's also great
for monitoring a specific space, such as a doorway,
smaller room or staircase.
Typically, it is best mounted in a corner looking across and down into the room, so that it
can look over intervening obstacles. The higher the ceiling the camera is mounted on, the
more it will be able to see and the harder it'll be for an intruder to access the camera or
interfere with it.
Tips: Positioning and Orienting
• Try to aim the camera at an area which is evenly lit, as objects or people in shadows
near brightly lit objects are very hard to see.
• It's better to have the camera in the shade looking into the light than vice-versa.
• Avoid having bright light sources in your image. This includes the obvious (such as the
sun or an artificial light source) but also things such as reflections. Cars are notorious
for reflected light sources, as are buildings with a lot of windows, mirrors and so forth.
