There are two possible ways to reset the password with the new firmware. However both need the person to access the NVR either by being in front of it or by access in on the computer (entering the IP address on the browser). The screenshots shown on this guide will be the ones we can get on the NVR itself:

Bring up the login screen by right-clicking anywhere and clicking on the “Menu” option. When you see the login screen, click on the “Forgot Password” link:

After that, either 2 types of screens will come up: The first one is to enter an email address to get a new temporary password:

Please enter a valid email address to get your new temporary password:

The second type of screen is the same as the one it will show when we click “Next” after entering the email address:

When you reach this screen, you can follow one of the following options:

Option 1:

If you have downloaded the 2M Guard App for your phone, you can do the password reset yourself.

Click on the “Local Config” option:

Click on the “Forget Device Password” option and scan the QR code on the NVR screen:

After that, a message will appear saying that the temporary password will be sent to the registered email address:

Click on “OK” to send the password and wait for the confirmation page:

Click “OK” again and wait. The email will look like this:

Take note of the security code and enter it on the “Security Code” field of the Retrieve Password screen (The security code is case sensitive, this means that upper and lower case letters matter):

After entering the security code, press “Enter” and press “OK”. After that, a new pop-up screen will appear to enter a new password on the “Password” field. Don’t forget to enter the same new password on the “Confirm” field:

After that, click on “OK”.

Option 2:

If you don’t have the 2M Guard App downloaded, you can take a picture of the QR code shown on the “Retrieve Password” screen. Here is an example of the picture you should take.

After you take the picture, please contact Technical Support to receive more instructions. We will do the password reset using the QR code picture taken.

NOTE: Please do NOT exit from the “Retrieve Password” screen after you take the picture of the QR code. The security code only lasts for a day, so please keep that in mind before starting a password reset process.

How can I reset the password for the 2M 8000 Series NVR?

This is valid for models 2MN-8004-P4, 2MN-8008-P8, 2MN-8116-P16, 2MN-8232-P16

There are two very similar ways you can reset the NVR password if it has been forgotten, but both methods begin the same way: obtaining the serial number of the device. It can be found in different areas: the sticker on the side of the box, the sticker on the bottom of the device, or when you click Forgot Password on the NVR local screen, and it will begin with “210..” and be 20 characters long (a mixture of numbers and letters).

By clicking on Forgot Password it will open a new window that will show the serial number and ask for the security code. Contact tech support for the security code. Make sure you are in front of the device at the time of calling because it will need to be entered within a frame of time. Once the correct security code has been entered the window will change to enter a new password. It is recommended to create a strong password.

The second method to reset the password begins the same. Obtain serial number → contact tech support → enter security code into the password box. After entering the code another window will open asking for the security code again and the new password.

How to Access Device from Web

This guide is valid for models 2MT-4004, 2MT-4008, 2MT-4088, 2MT-4016, 2MN-8004-P4, 2MN-8008-P8, 2MN-8116-P16, 2MN-8232-P16.

When devices are connected to the network, they can also be accessible from a computer. The first thing you need to make sure of is that the computer you are using and the DVR/NVR are connected to the same network (network is coming from the same router for both devices). You will first need to obtain the IP address of the DVR/NVR from Menu → System → Network → IPv4 address.

After noting the IP address of your device, open Internet Explorer and in the address search bar type in the DVR/NVR IP address. If the NVR and the computer are on the same network then it will pull up the login page of the DVR/NVR. The credentials will be the same as when you log into the local interface of your device.

Remote Access – Basic Troubleshooting

If you’re having trouble with setting up your Swann unit for remote viewing, or the remote viewing was working but has since stopped, here are some simple steps for you to try.

1) Reboot the recorder or camera

Rebooting the device both clears the memory and sets up the basic network parameters of the recorder or camera again. This can help if the router has “lost” the device from the routing table or if the device requires a new local IP address.

2) Reboot the modem and/or network connection devices

There may be an issue with your modem or network connection that is preventing the Swann unit from contacting the internet correctly. Rebooting these devices can correct these issues.

3) Reconnect the network cable and/or try a different one

For some Swann units such as recorders, the network (Ethernet) cable connects your device to your internet connection devices such as a modem or a router. Sometimes the contacts may become loose requiring you to replug the cable for the recorder to start working again. We suggest testing the cable on a different LAN port, located behind your modem/router. If this also fails, then your cable may be defective and may need to be replaced. If you have a spare network cable lying around, try switching the cable to see if it helps.

4) Reset the recorder or camera

For recorders – While this step is rather drastic, it can also be of use where the recorder’s settings have been misconfigured or if you have changed or reconfigured your network or internet hardware. This will clear all the settings from your recorder, including your network settings which could be causing the issue with your local/remote access from phone or computer.

If this step seems like a lot of work to recover from, do not forget to export the settings of your recorder to a USB stick before you proceed. That way, if the reset does not correct the issue, you can easily recover the settings lost. Also, if the reset did solve the issue, you can reapply the settings to see if that was what caused the issue. Check your recorder’s user manual for configuration export instructions.

For Wi-Fi cameras – if your camera has settings related to network, it might also be misconfigured or something has changed internally. Be aware that there is no exporting of settings here therefore, if you will reset your camera, you might re-do the first time setup.

Swann Security – Error: Device has been disposed

NOTE: This guide is for the following recorders : DVR-4480G, 4480RN, 4480V, 4580G, 4580RN, 4580V, 4680, 4680RN, 4680A, 4680X, 4680XN, 4685, 4685RN, 4780V, 4980, 5580, 5580A, 5580G, 5580G2, 5580RN, 5580RU, 5680, 5680A, 5680RN, 5680X, 5680XN, NVR-8580, 8580RN, 8780, 8780RN, NVW-650, 800

This error message means that the username and/or password you entered on the app doesn’t match your recorder’s credentials.

To resolve this, you need to go to the recorder itself and try to log in – this is to ensure that you have the right username and password of your unit. Once you have it, you may try to add the device again and carefully enter its credentials on the app. In summary, you need to: Select Pair Device. Scan its QR Code (either the sticker on top of your unit OR in Menu) Enter the recorder’s credentials (case sensitive).

You may find this video useful but most importantly, you need to have your recorder’s username and password with you as this is needed when pairing your recorder.

Setup Cloud storage to OS 5 recorders

NOTE: This guide is for the following recorders : DVR-4480G, 4480RN, 4480V, 4580G, 4580RN, 4580V, 4680, 4680RN, 4680A, 4680X, 4680XN, 4685, 4685RN, 4780V, 4980, 5580, 5580A, 5580G, 5580G2, 5580RN, 5580RU, 5680, 5680A, 5680RN, 5680X, 5680XN, NVR-8580, 8580RN, 8780, 8780RN, NVW-650, 800

Swann’s OS 5 recorders now has the feature to save images or recordings through Cloud which might be more accessible to you without being on the unit itself. This can serve as another way to get notified when there’s a movement detected on one of your cameras.

Couple of things to prepare:

1. Make sure to have a Dropbox account ready. If you don’t have one, visit Dropbox and register first.
2. Then make sure your recorder is connected to the internet. Not having this will obviously not send the recordings on the Cloud or even give you access online.

Setup

1. On Swann Security app, go to Menu > Dropbox.
2. Choose your recorder that you want to setup.
   
3. It will open Dropbox app or Dropbox website will open (depends on what you have) – make sure you are logged in to the Dropbox account where pictures or videos will be saved.
   
4. Allow – choose this to allow Swann Security to gain access on Dropbox.
5. COMPLETE! – it will go back to the Swann Security app once you chose Allow. Tap again the recorder and this message (image at the right) should appear.

In case it repeats step 3, just cancel it or go back, then you’ll see this message (image at the right).

 

Enable Cloud Notification

1. Go to Menu > Alarm > Detection
2. Click on Action
3. Enable Picture to Cloud or Video to Cloud on selected Channels.

…and you’re DONE! Now every time the recorder detects movement, it will then send it to your Dropbox.

Be aware of the following:

• Default Dropbox storage has limited storage space
• Not all channels can be selected to upload video
• Uploads to Dropbox consume upload data, be aware of potential additional charges when using an internet connection with caps/data usage charges
• Consider using the Overwrite option to select a timeframe that the Cloud storage uses, to keep the storage from filling up. Note that if the storage fills up before the Overwrite deadline, that it will operate the same as Auto
• Be aware that a desktop PC with the Dropbox software installed may download any recordings to the Dropbox folder on that PC

OutbackCam: Why detection angle different to viewing angle

The OutbackCam utilizes a passive infrared motion sensor so that the system is able to run in a stand-by mode. This means the battery life of the system is extended from what would otherwise be hours, into weeks and/or months. When activity is detected by the motion sensor, the camera component that was previously switched off is now activated and takes one or more snapshots. Due to the time difference between when motion is detected and when the camera is able to take its first photo, we have extended the detection angle so that an object moving through the shot will be captured despite the activation delay.

Having said that, passive infrared motion detection is not a flawless technology. You will get times where the sensor detects motion when there is none. When passive infrared motion detectors are used outdoors, there is a higher likelihood of false alarms due to a large number of varying environmental variables such as temperature, wind speed, time of day and lighting conditions.

If you believe this renders the system unusable, you could try using race tape (a.k.a. gaffer tape) to tape either side of the white passive infrared sensor until you have an acceptable detection angle.

How to get the MAC address of a recorder using an Android device?

If you forgot your password but needs to login to your recorder, you most probably need the MAC address of the recorder to enter. We have couple of articles to help you with that HERE but all of those require a computer.

This article will help you get the MAC address of your unit by the use of an Android device and a 3rd party app called Fing.

Scan this QR code and install the app:

or go to Playstore and search for Fing.

Once the app is installed, here are some requirements:

1. You must be at the location where the unit is.
2. The Android device must be connected to the same router where the recorder is connected.
3. You must have a monitor and mouse connected to the recorder to input the MAC address later.

Once you got your MAC Address, visit the article that is meant for your device HERE to know how to reset your password.

How to change the position of the Date and Time display bar on my DVR

You can adjust the position of the OSD from the menu display of the DVR. It has to be done directly from the DVR, using the monitor that is connected either to its VGA or HDMI output.

You simply open the menu of the DVR, go in the menu display, and then, from the camera tab, click on SET next to the OSD Display Position.

Afterward, with the mouse connected to the DVR, left click on the date and time display , hold down the button and drag the display wherever you wish .

The position chosen for the Date and Time Display will be reflected on the live view on your computer screen, should you access the DVR through the Network Interface ( and also on the recorded videos if you have enabled record date from the Display menu of the DVR ).

How do I improve my remote viewing performance?

If you’re experiencing any intermittent connectivity issues when streaming or playing back videos from your recorder, on either the computer software or phone app, then the problem may be related to a limitation with your internet connection speed.

It is important to consider the amount of bandwidth needed when viewing your cameras remotely.
Increasing the video quality of the stream also increases the amount of data needed to upload the video onto your phone or computer.

You can use this article to help you check your speed before continuing to adjust your settings.

The diagram below summarizes the data transfer process of when a video is being uploaded to the server and then downloaded onto the user’s phone.

1. The recorded video is encrypted and uploaded onto the server (internet)
2. The file is then downloaded onto the computer or phone.

This is why the download and upload rate is important when streaming videos from a remote location. The higher the quality of the recordings, the more data is needed to be upload onto the server.

There are a couple of things you can change on the recorder to help improve the streaming service.

1. Reduce the streaming quality, on the phone.
2. Reduce the sub-stream resolution and bitrate, on the recorder.

See instructions below.

Stream on Fluent

This step is necessary for us to use lower bandwidth when streaming the cameras.

You may want to keep in mind that the quality will be lower than expected to lessen intermittent connections and get a smoother experience when viewing the cameras.

These are the things you can do using the software or app.

• If you are accessing the recorder using SwannView Link software, click the Play button at the right and choose All channels fluent.
  
• If you are using SwannView Link app, tap Stream and choose Fluent.
  
• If you are accessing the recorder using SwannView Plus software, right-click on the recorder at the left side and choose Set Sub-Stream To All.
  
• If you are accessing the recorder using HomeSafe View software, right click on your recorder at the left, and choose Set Sub Stream to All.
  
• If you are accessing the recorder using HomeSafe View app, tap on the Stream icon and choose Substream.

If you don’t have it on your computer already, download the IP Configuration Utility located here. Extract that file and then open up the folder that it created. Double click on the file show below:

Now in the ConfigTool window that was launched earlier, near the bottom left of the window, select IPv4 from the IP Version selection field and you should see some listings for the IP cameras connected. Click on the first one listed and then click on the Login button.

You should then see the following window appear:

Click on the Login button to enter into the menu that will allow you to upgrade your IP camera(s). Then click on the System Information tab and make note of the current build date of firmware that is in your camera and make sure that the version you downloaded is newer than the version on the camera.

Next, click on the System Upgrade tab and then click on the Open button.

Find the firmware file that you had downloaded, select it and then click on Open

After pressing the Open button, you should see the file path of the firmware file you selected in the Upgrade File field. Press the Upgrade button and you should see the progress bar move as the file is being transmitted and again as the upgrade process is occurring. Please do not disconnect or remove power to camera while this process is occurring, otherwise you may cause irreparable damage to the camera.

Once the upgrade process is completed, you will see the following window pop up, indicating that the upgrade process has completed. Click on the OK button and the camera will then reboot and the program will take you back to the main ConfigTool window.

The camera will take anywhere from 1-3 minutes to reboot fully. After this time, you can click on the Refresh button to see if the camera is again seen on the network. If you would like, you can log back into the camera and click on the System Information tab to see if the upgrade process reflects in the new firmware build date. Clicking on the Return button will take you back to main window. You will need to repeat this process for each of the cameras on your network, and also making sure that if you have differnent models of camera to use the correct firmware update file. Should you have any questions during this process, feel free to give our Technical Support department a call and they will be able to help you at any stage of this process.
