Tips and Tricks

Placing your Security Stickers

One of the most effective aspects of having a security system is the deterring of would be thieves or intruders. Many potential threats will think twice when they see that your home is protected by one of the most respected names in security systems.

To this end, we’ve included a few Swann Security Stickers in your box. They’ll let any potential problem know before it happens that you’re already on to them! To get the best results, we suggest placing the stickers somewhere very obvious, a couple of suggestions being:

1.On your front windows

2.On your side windows

3.Near entrance points, such as doors and gates

4.Next to an obvious camera

5.On the front counter

Cable Placement

If you are installing the PNP-50TMcables directly into your walls or ceiling, beware of placing them too close to electrical cabling. AC power operates at a certain frequency (50 or 60 hertz, depending on your locale) and this frequency generates a rather intense electromagnetic field. Running cables too close to a AC cable will cause noticeable distortion of your images.

Extending Cable Length

It may be the case that you want to connect a camera farther away from the monitor than the supplied cables allow. Whilst it is possible to do this, please consider the following:

1.The longer the cable running from the camera to the RedAlert is, the more signal loss will occur during image transit. Signal loss will show up first as fuzziness in the image, followed by image noise and finally static (like that on an un-tuned television screen).

2.Signal loss becomes a real problem when dealing with longer cables than those supplied. If you want to use a cable longer than 50m/150ft, be sure that it is a shielded cable.

3.Joining cables together is, generally, not recommended. Whilst it is possible to do this, it usually causes more signal loss than using a longer cable. Of course, if you are a few feet short with the supplied cable, and just happen to have your own cables lying around, there’s no harm in trying cables joined together and seeing what results you get. We do, however, recommend purchasing a longer cable.
