About the Camera Congratulations on your purchase of this PRO-780 from Swann! You’ve chosen well: we think this is one of the finest vari-focal CCTV video cameras available. The adjustable lens and on-screen menu system make the PRO-780 ideal for monitoring any kind of space in almost any lighting conditions... even no light at all, as it can see up to 40m/130ft in complete darkness! Our two cents: you’ve spent the money on a great camera. It’s worth spending a bit of time making sure it’s set up right.
Adjusting the Lens The zoom and focus controls are located on the rear of the camera. 23° 81° ZOOM: The left hand dial controls the level of zoom. You can vary the viewing angle between 23° and 81°. This is an approximately 3x optical zoom, which operates in a similar manner to the zoom on your digital camera. Basically, zooming in makes everything appear to be larger, at the expense of the viewing area. Check out the diagram to the left for a visual representation of the zooming process.

The OSD & Troubleshooting The On-Screen Display We’re constantly on the lookout for ways to incorporate more features and more advanced technologies into our products. So here’s one we’re excited about: the PRO-780 features an On-Screen Display (OSD) that you can control with the included control unit. As this is a new, powerful feature, we couldn’t possibly fit the full explanation of everything it can do into this booklet. So, we’ve created an online guide you can access at: www.swann.
Mounting There are three ways that you can mount the PRO-780: to a wall (1, recommended) or to a horizontal surface, either above (2) or suspended (3, requires additional hardware). Option 1 To mount the camera, use the supplied mounting hardware (screws). If you’re mounting onto a wooden surface, you can drive the screws directly into the wood. You may need to drill guide holes first, particularly if mounting the camera onto hardwood.
