Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of this ADS-450 camera, the central component of your SwannSmart Video Security system. This camera is versatile, powerful, easy to install and configure and looks pretty stylish, too. Best of all, it can be totally wireless - if there’s a WIFI network your camera can connect to the Internet through, then just connect the camera to power and you’re good to go.

Local WIFI Configuration: Access To configure the camera via the Local WIFI Configuration mode, you’ll need the following: • Your Android device or iPhone/iPad with the SwannSmart app correctly installed. • An internet connection (other than your mobile device) that the camera can use to connect to the Internet. Local WIFI The camera will act as its own WIFI access point, allowing you to connect directly to the camera from your phone/tablet using the SwannSmart app.
Local WIFI Configuration: Details You will receive an on-screen message upon starting the app informing you that SwannSmart has detected the camera, asking if you would like to proceed with configuration. Choose Yes to proceed. If you don’t get this message, it indicates that either the camera’s local WIFI is not on, or that your mobile device isn’t properly connected to the local WIFI network.
Local WIFI Configuration: Connecting to Internet Connect to Internet You’ll need to decide whether you’re using a wireless or a wired network to connect to the Internet. We suggest using the wireless connection as it’s one less cable to worry about - however, wired connections don’t suffer connectivity problems as often as wireless ones and are inherently more secure. Wireless networks: • Select the wireless network of your choice in the list presented onscreen.
Registering Your Account with SwannSmart To access your ADS-450 via the Internet, you’ll need to setup a SwannSmart account. • Accounts are easy to setup, and it only takes a moment. • You can create an account during the Local WIFI Configuration step, or you can do it via the SwannSmart website. Register an Account during Local WIFI Configuration • You’ll automatically be taken to the Connect to SwannSmart interface once you’ve connected the camera to the Internet.
Interface: Login & Camera List Logging In Once the camera has been configured and connected to the Internet, and the Local WIFI Configuration switch has been turned OFF, then you’ll be able to login to your account and view images from the camera. Remember: You may need to adjust the WIFI settings on your mobile device - some phones/tablets don’t automatically switch wireless networks when it loses connectivity. To login: • Enter your Username and Password into the fields provided. • Choose Login.
Navigating the Mobile Interface The navigation bar gives you access to the various interfaces, camera lists and settings contained within the SwannSmart app. Mine: Opens the list of cameras that are registered to you, as shown in ”Interface: Login & Camera List” on page 11. Friends: Shows a list of friend’s cameras to which they’ve granted you access, as well as “demo” cameras.
Interface: Live View The Live View interface is the default interface when you open a camera from the list. The image will always be displayed in landscape mode (where the device is held so that the screen is wider than it is tall). Other modes (such as the Event interface) use a portrait orientation. Icons Exits the camera’s feed and returns you to the camera list. Alters the size of the video.
Interface: Events Shown here is an example of the Events interface as seen on an iPhone. The Android app will appear slightly different, but is functionally similar. Note that you’ll need to properly configure and upgrade your SwannSmart account before you can access the Event interface. Event List The events recorded are listed here in chronological order.
Interface: Camera Settings General Name: The title you’ve selected for the camera during the Local WIFI Configuration stage. Share/Unshare: Whether you want to share access to this camera with other people using SwannSmart. There’s no requirement to share, and - if you choose to do so - you can be very specific about who has access. All users/cameras involved require properly configured SwannSmart accounts to use this feature. Status: Whether the camera is currently detected as being online or not.
Regular Stream The options listed under Regular Stream will affect the way that images are streamed from the camera over the Internet. These settings will affect both the perceived quality of your images, as well as the bandwidth required to send/receive them. Frame Rate: The number of images per second the camera will send over the Internet. The higher the frame rate, the “smoother” motion in your video will appear. However, high framerates require much more bandwidth than low framerates.
SwannSmart App Settings General Version: The version number of the mobile app you’re running. You might need to know this number if you’re in contact with Swann Technical Support - however, if you’ve got auto-updates enabled for your phone/tablet, you should be using the most recent one by default. (The “x”s will be numbers.) About: The release notes and general information for the app. Basically, it’s stuff that we didn’t write here because we didn’t think of it or it hadn’t happened yet.
Expanding Your Service So, you’ve got your ADS-450 connected to the internet, you’ve signed up for your free account and are enjoying the seriously-this-was-like-totally-sci-fi-like-ten-shortyears-ago feeling of viewing images from your camera(s) from your phone... but it’s just not enough, eh? Well then: good news, everyone! SwannSmart offers loads of additional services including (but not limited to): • Secure online cloud-based data storage.
