FOURTIFY HARDWARE CONNECTION
Fourtify Hardware Connection Guide
Follow the steps below to connect the cameras as shown in the connection diagram on page 4.
- Connect the expansion camera’s Video and Power cable to the BNC and Power extension cable. Then connect the other end of the extension cable’s BNC plug to one of the three available Video cables on the main camera, and the Power plug to one of the available plugs on the 4-way power splitter. Make sure to twist and lock the BNC plugs to secure the connection.
- Repeat Step 1 to connect the remaining expansion cameras.
- Connect the main camera’s power cable to the remaining plug on the 4-way power splitter. Then connect the other end of the power splitter to the power extension cable.
- Connect the power adapter to the power extension cable. Then plug the power adapter into a wall outlet. The status LED on the main camera will start blinking blue and you will hear the voice prompt “Ready for pairing”. Proceed to the Swann Security app to set up and pair the main camera with your Wi-Fi network.
- (Optional) The Ethernet connector cable on the main camera provides the option of a wired connection to your router as a backup connection (when connection to your Wi-Fi network is weak or unstable). The initial connection must be made using Wi-Fi. Once the main camera is connected to your Wi-Fi network via the app, you can use your own Ethernet cable to connect the main camera to a spare LAN port on the back of your router.

CAUTION: Take extra care when handling the main camera after it has been powered up. Due to the high performance of the Fourtify Wi-Fi security system, the front casing of the main camera may get very hot during operation. This is normal and does not affect the functioning of the main camera in any way.
DOWNLOAD THE SWANN SECURITY APP
- Download the latest version of the Swann Security app from the Apple App Store® or Google Play™ Store on your iOS or Android device. Simply search for “Swann Security”.
- Open the app and create your Swann Security account by tapping “Not yet registered? Sign Up” at the bottom of the screen. Then, activate your Swann Security account by confirming the verification email that is sent to the registered email address.
SET UP THE FOURTIFY
Launch the Swann Security app and sign in. Tap the Pair Device button on the screen (or tap the menu icon in the top left and select “Pair Device”). The app will now guide you through the pairing process to set up the Fourtify main camera with your Wi-Fi network. Please note that the Fourtify main camera is only compatible with the 2.4GHz network. If your router is using the 5GHz band, please ensure it is operating in mixed mode.
FOURTIFY CAMERA PLACEMENT
The Fourtify cameras can be mounted on a flat surface using the supplied mounting screws and wall plugs (4 sets). The Fourtify main camera should be installed in a location where the Wi-Fi network connection is reliable. The easiest way to check is to use your smartphone. Connect your smartphone to your Wi-Fi network at the spot you have chosen and see if you get 2 bars of Wi-Fi signal or more. As a general rule, the nearer the camera is to your router, the better the wireless connection quality. If you’re finding the wireless signal is too weak or out of range, consider installing a Wi-Fi range extender or you can also connect an Ethernet cable from the main camera directly to your router.
