About the Camera Congratulations on your purchase of this ADS-120 from Swann! You’ve chosen a great little self contained, easy to install entry-level CCTV camera. This manual will walk you through positioning, installing, connecting and using your camera, and offer some tips to help you get the most out of your security monitoring system. What will it see? The ADS-120 has a 3.6mm, 53° lens built-in which allows it to focus its attention onto one specific area.
Choosing a Location The ADS-120 can be mounted just about anywhere indoors, provided there is some protection against direct sunlight. Some of the things you’ll have to consider when choosing a location are: • What you want to monitor, and where you’ll get the best view of it. • How you’re going to connect the camera to your monitoring system. • How to keep the camera out of harm’s way. Up high in protected corners is a good option. Mounting The camera mounts onto a flat surface using screws.
About the Camera 1 Connect the provided Audio / Video cable into the connection located at the back of the ADS-120. Do not force the cable as it can only be inserted into the connection the one way. Be careful not to bend the pins inside the connection.
3 Connecting to your existing DVR As most DVRs have BNC sockets, your DVR should have been provided with a BNC to RCA adapter. Connect this to one of the inputs on your DVR then connect the yellow RCA connection to the BNC to RCA adapter. If your DVR has an audio input, connect the red RCA connection to the audio input as well. Connect the provided power adapter to the DC input located on the cable. Plug the power adapter into a wall socket.
Troubleshooting Problem: I don’t see an image on the TV or the DVR. Solution: Check that you have the audio / video cable connected correctly into the connection located at the back of the ADS-120. Check that you have connected the yellow RCA connection to the correct input on the TV. Make sure you have selected the appropriate video input option on the TV. Consult the TV manual for further assistance with selecting the correct A/V connection.
