Focus a Swann Security Camera
A security camera is an invaluable part of any home or business. Though we'd all like to believe crimes will never happen to us, it is better to have a camera and not need it than need a camera and not have it. The footage recorded by a camera is a great way to prevent crimes as they happen, and they're good for use in court afterward. Without the ability to focus that camera, you'd never be able to get usable footage of a moving target.
Instructions
1. Take the camera off of auto focus. When a camera auto focuses, it attempts to keep the focus on whatever object is the largest in the frame. This object is not necessarily what you were attempting to view, so take the camera off of auto focus by holding down the "near" and "far" focus buttons on the camera's control panel simultaneously.
2. Focus "near." When viewing the camera, the "near" button focuses on whatever objects are the closest to the camera. To do this, press and hold the "near" button on the camera's control panel.
3. Focus "far." The "far" button places the focus on objects that are the farthest away from the camera. To do this, press and hold the "far" button on the camera's control panel.
4. Turn on auto focus. If at any point you should need or want to have the auto focus on the camera turned back on, you can do this by once again pressing and holding the "near" and "far" buttons simultaneously on the camera's control panel.
