Features and Benefits
This is a cutting-edge digital video surveillance camera. It can compress and transmit real time
images with outstanding image quality (18 FPS @ SXGA, 1280x1024) through a standard TCP/IP
network. This camera is your best choice to build an intelligent IP surveillance system.
H.264/MPEG-4/MJPEG Triple Codec Dual Streaming
This device supports 3 compression formats, H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG. It brings superior image
quality at 18 frames per second up to a resolution of SXGA (1280 x 1024) pixels, and offers up to
26 frames per second in HD720 (1280x720). In D1 (720 x 480) / VGA (640 x 480) / QVGA /
QQVGA the device reaches 30 frames per second.
Wide Dynamic Range
This IP camera includes a special process that enhances the view in the brightest and darkest
areas.This provides for more evenly illuminated image and brings out greater details to the eye.
Rugged Vandal-Proof Construction withstands all kinds of abuse.
Special engineer polymer clear dome shell protects against brute force impact. It is extremely
durable against any tampering intruder. IP66 construction isolates electronics against the elements.
Rain, sleet or snow, nothing goes through.Temperature control ensures cold-start capability for use
in the worst of weathers.
Built-in Hardware Motion Detection
No more external motion sensors are required. You may assign up to 3 video motion detection
areas. By tuning the object size and sensitivity, it will reliably detect objects passing though in view.
Hardware motion detection also offers better sensitivity and faster response time than software
motion detection.
Powerful Bundled Surveillance Software
To extend the capabilities of the IP Camera, a powerful surveillance program is included in the
package for free. Users can easily use an existing PC as a digital video recorder. Scheduled
recording and manual recording keep every important video recorded in the local hard disk.
Reliable and accurate motion detection with instant warning enables immediate response in every
condition. Quick and simple search and playback function lets you easily find the images and video
you want.

Software Development Kit Support
This IP Camera can be integrated or controlled by applications from third party software developers.
Software developers can save considerable efforts by using our Streaming Library or ActiveX
control. Please contact us for details on integration support.
Digital Time Code Embedded
The “Digital Time Code Embedded”function records video time in the video stream. Therefore,
each image frame is marked with its original recording time. It is very useful when users want to
find the video at an exact time or between a certain time intervals.

This camera provides:
•1 transistor output - For connecting external devices such as relays and LEDs. Connected
devices can be activated by Output buttons on the Live View page or through video management
software.
•1 Digital Input - An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between an open and
closed circuit, for example: PIRs, door/window contacts, glass break detectors, etc. The device will
detect the change in digital input and transmit the signal to video surveillance servers.
Terminal Pin Define is described as below:

Description
Spec
DIO PW
Electrically connected in parallel with the con-
nector for the power supply, this pin provides an
auxiliary connector for mains power to the unit.
This pin can also be used to power auxiliary
equipment, with a maximum current of 100mA.
Voltage: 12V DC,
Max: 1.2W
DIO GND

DO
(Transistor
Output)
Uses an open-collector NPN transistor with the
emitter connected to the GND pin. If used with an
external relay, a diode must be connected in
parallel with the load, for protection against
transient voltages.
Max load = <100mA
Max voltage = 24V

4) Reset Button
Step 1: Switch off IP device by disconnecting the power cable
Step 2: Press and continue to hold the Reset Button (with a sharp tipped object, like a pen.)
Step 3: Reconnect the power cable while continuing to hold the reset button. The red Power
LED light will flash on for 3 second first, turn off for about 15 seconds, flash on for another second
and turn off again. By this time the reset to default operation is already completed. This will take
around 20 seconds from power up. You may then release the reset button. This length of time
fluctuates slightly with the environment. The Power LED light will come back on and stay on after a
few more seconds. The unit will start up with factory default settings automatically.

6) LED Descriptions
There are three Red LEDs in the system. They indicate the operational status for power, fan and
heater. These LEDs will light up in different configurations under different temperature, indicating
the temperature control mechanism at work. The detail is shown in the chart below. Please note
that this is the “Internal Temperature”as measured by the electronics. The external temperature will
be different from the internal temperature in most cases.
Note: PoE powered rugged dome does not have enough power available and cannot
support Heater.

How to Do the Waterproof Installation
The following installation procedure makes the camera be water-resistant even for the situations
where the camera can easily be flooded by pouring rain.
The important part to focus on during the installation:
The protection of the cabling has to be done by a proper flex
conduit. The size of the flex conduit that matches with the
conduit gland is is 3/4” (trade size), or with actual physical
diameter of 26.441mm.
Have the Ethernet cable inserted through the flex
conduit together with RJ-45 connector.You may also
consider to do the RJ-45 connector crimping after
pushing the cable through the conduit.
Disassemble the conduit gland.
Slide the clamping nut around flex conduit some 10-20 cm
away from the top. Fit the sealing insert (made of
rubber) to the top of the flex conduit.
On the camera side, decide which of the 2 possible holes you are going to use to connect the flex
conduit. There is one hole on the side, and one on the bottom. Whichever you pick, remember to
seal off the other one with the metal patch (included in the camera set).

Scenario 1 –using the side hole. Scenario 2 –using the bottom hole.
Screw the body of the conduit gland into the camera and fix it with the lock nut (included in the set
of conduit gland that you purchased) from the inside of the camera..
Connect the Ethernet cable to the camera’s network port. If you are not using PoE, then please
remember to pull the DC power cable through the flex conduit as well, and connect to the camera
at this point.
