Night Hawk™ FAQs

?How far can Swann Nighthawk camera see at night?

The Infra-red LEDs can project IR light that is invisible to the human eye but can be seen by the Swann Nighthawk Camera to a distance of 16ft/5m. With a small amount of ambient light, such as street lighting and house lighting, the distance can be extended by a small distance.

?Can I connect an NightHawk System to a Swann DVR?

The NightHawk System uses RCA plugs which will not plug directly into the DVR's RCA video in sockets, but the Swann DVRs come with an RCA to BNC adaptor to make sure that you will be able to connect the receiver directly to a Swann DVR without having to purchase additional cables or connectors. Please note that due to the nature of wireless signals and the potential for interference to cause false motion triggers, wireless camereras are not as well suited to operating on DVR systems as wired cameras are.

?Can I connect an NightHawk System to any TV or VCR?

Most TVs and VCRs made in the last 10 years have AV inputs which are what the NightHawk receiver needs to connect to. The NightHawk System's receiver has and AV cable with RCA plugs that will connect directly to the TV or VCR's AV input. The AV inputs are the same sockets that you connect some DVD players and Game consoles to. Once you have the Night- Hawk System plugged in you need to select the appropriate AV channel on your TV or VCR to see the images on the TV. There are a numbers of ways to select the AV channel and they vary from one manufacturer to the next, but some meth- ods of selecting the AV channel with the remote are: press the AV button until the correct AV input is selected (some TVs have 3 or more), press L1 or L2, press the Input Select button until the correct input is selected or in some cases you press the button that is marked with a small screen that has an arrow pointing into the centre of it. Consult the manual of the TV or VCR for more information if you are unure how to select the appropriate AV input. If you have the camera connected to your VCR so you can record the images you will need to switch your TV to the same channel you use to watch movie tapes on the VCR to see the images from the camera.

?How long will a 9 volt battery last when used to power the Nighthawk Camera?

A 9 volt battery will last for approximately one hour depending on the quality of the battery and whether the night vision feature is active or inactive. The battery snap adaptor is supplied to assist with the initial setup and locating of the camera and is not intended to power the camera for sustained use.
