Getting Started
Congratulations on your purchase of this Swann DVR. You’ve made a fine choice 
for keeping a watchful eye over your home or business. Let’s take a moment to talk 
about some of the features this DVR offers, and how to get the most out of them.
Oh my, this is a big manual. 
How long will this take?
Yes, but you won’t have to read all of it - you should be up and 
running by page 20!
It can take a few hours to connect everything and run through 
the setup procedure. 
The latter half of this manual is for users who want to get the 
most out of the DVR’s capabilities. While the DVR is seriously 
configurable, the out-of-the-box settings do a great job in 
90% of situations, but some users will want to get into the 
nitty-gritty detail, so that information is presented for those 
who need it.
The Basic Setup
The default settings of the DVR will cover most basic 
installation requirements of the DVR.
To get the most out of your hard drive, we’ve configured the 
DVR to record only when it detects motion - that way, you 
won’t fill the hard drive with video of nothing happening.
Before installing anything, connect the DVR and cameras 
and test your system.
We ensure everything is working properly when we 
ship them out, but sometimes things can be damaged in 
transport, and occasionally components can fail. Better to 
find out now, before everything is fixed in place!
Getting the DVR Setup
There are three stages to getting your DVR set up. If you want 
to use the default settings, you’ll only need to complete steps 
one and two. 
1. Connecting the DVR (page 6 to page 9)
This section details what you can connect to the different 
inputs/outputs of the DVR.
Everyone’s setup will vary a little bit - it depends on what 
cameras came with the DVR (if any) and what device(s) you’ve 
already got. 
2. Basic DVR Setup
The DVR needs a few things to be set properly before it can do 
its thing. Follow the instructions fro
 t
 
to get everything working.
3. Optional: DVR Menu Functions
The latter part of this manual is a how-to guide on using the 
menus in the DVR system to perform common and advanced 
DVR operations.
Take your time to read through this chapter and explore the 
many capabilities that this Swann DVR can offer you.  You 
will learn how to do things like adjusting the video display 
settings, searching for recordings, customizing alarm motion 
settings to something that’s more appropriate for your 
circumstances and lots more. 
Note: The out-of-the-box settings really do work well, 
and we’d only suggest changing them if you’ve got a really 
specific plan in mind.
Accessing this DVR from your 
Smartphone or Tablet
This DVR supports live viewing on your Smartphone or Tablet. 
We have developed an app called SwannView Link for the 
Android and iOS platforms. For Android users, please download 
the app from Google Play. If you have an Apple device, please 
go to the Apple App Store. As we are continually improving the 
documentation that we include with our products, you can find 
the latest user guide for our app at www.swann.com.
Now with extra “H”: 960H and what it means
This DVR is compatible and is intended for use with 960H cameras. What does this really mean?
A traditional CCTV camera operates at a resolution of approximately 720 x 480 (NTSC) or 720 x 576 (PAL) pixels* and a 
4:3 aspect ratio. By extending the image to a widescreen format, 960H technology increases the horizontal resolution 
of the camera, thereby increasing the area viewed and the resolution it’s viewed at.
In general, 960H is best suited:
•  monitoring a wider area than traditional CCTV cameras could cover at the same detail
•  being displayed on high-definition widescreen televisions/monitors
•  for upgrading from traditional CCTV cameras, while reusing previously installed coaxial cables.
*The resolution is approximate as analog video doesn’t really work this way. The resolution listed is the equivalent for a standard 
pixel matrix.
