FeaturesandBenefits
This is a cutting edge network video surveillance camera.It can capture, compress and
transmit real time video in excellent quality (8 FPS 4Megapixel, 2032 x 1920).This camera is
your best choice to build an intelligent IP surveillance system.
Adaptive Profile
With the innovative embedded Image Signal Processor (ISP), this camera responds to
changing lighting condition with customized algorithm.This allows for clear image with very
little noise at night.
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 8 frames per second up to resolution of 2032 x 1920 pixels, and offers up to 15
frames per second in Full HD 1080p (!920 x 1080).In 720p (1280 x 720) and VGA resolution
(640 x 480) the device reaches 30 frames per second.
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.
ExDR (Extreme Dynamic Range)
Extreme Dynamic Range technology is the most advanced approach of improving the dynamic
range of the camera.While many other WDR technologies enhance the dynamic range while
producing noise, blur edges of objects and untrue colors, ExDR is designed to improve the
dynamic range while keeping the true colors, sharp edges of objects and free from noise.
P Iris Control
With optional P Iris Lens, this camera automatically adjusts incoming light levels to achieve the
best video performance.Wildly fluctuating outdoor lighting condition is no longer an issue with
your video quality.

Physical Description
1) Power Button
Press the Power Button and then camera will reboot automatically.
2) Ethernet Port
The IP device connects to the Ethernet via a standard RJ45 connector.Supporting NWAY,this
IP device can auto detect the speed of local network segment (10Base-T/100Base-TX
Ethernet).
3) 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
defaultsettings automatically.

2. InstallationProcedure
Connecting the IP Outdoor Rugged Dome
1) Remove the cover
Remove the dome cover with special hex wrench in the accessory kit.
2) Insert the cable
There are two conduit holes on this rugged dome.One is at the bottom, while the other is at the
side and covered with a plug.Remove the plug if your cable will go through the one at the side
of the rugged dome
3) Connect cables to connectors
Please follow the instructions in the Physical Description section for how to connect to each
connector.

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.Youmayalso
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).

16
B-31 User’s Guide
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.

17
B-31 User’s Guide
Push the head of the flex conduit, wrapped with sealing insert, into the body of the conduit
gland.
Screw the clamping nut tightly onto the body of the conduit gland.
Adjust the viewing angle and focus of the camera and put the dome cover back on, and tighten
it by using the screws.
You have completed a fully waterproof installation!

3. AccessingCamera
If you have DHCP server / router in your network:
Many network server / routers are able to automatically provide IP addresses through DHCP.If
you are using such a network, just plug in your computer and IP Dome Cam into the network
and your IP device will acquire network address by itself.
If you do NOT have DHCP server / router in your
network:
1. Configure your PC to use the same subnet by changing your PC’s IP address to the
subnet with prefix 192.168.0.XXX.The last number should be anything from 1 to 254
except 100 and other occupied IP addresses.Subnet mask should be 255.555.255.0.
2. The default IP used by this device is 192.168.0.100. Please make sure your PC is
NOT using this address and that no two devices use the same IP address in the
network.
3. Change your IP address by going to Control Panel ->Manage Network Connections ->
Right click on the connection to change -> Option ->TCP/IP IPv4 Properties.
Please set the settings as below.

IP address: 192.168. 0.xxx
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.
0
(NOTE: xxx should be a number
from 1 to 254 except 100, which is
used by the IP device. Please also
make sure that no two equipments
use the same IP address in the

19
B-31 User’s Guide
4. Open Internet Explorer (Version 6.0 or above) , and type in the Default IP:
192.168.0.100
5. When you see the login window, please input default user and password:
Default User: Admin Password: 123456
6. After logging in, you will see the video from camera.To go to the main menu, click
the ”Setup” button on the top left.
If you are using a single camera, this is enough to access the device.

20
B-31 User’s Guide
If you are using multiple devices, you need to change the current device to another
unused IP address, so that when the next device is connected to the network, no two
devices use the same IP. Please perform the following steps.
7. Go to Network -> ConnectionType
8. Change the IP mode to Static.
9. Change the IP to 192.168.0.101 or any other unused IPs.Do NOT use the PC’s IP
address or 192.168.0.100.). If this is not the first device you add to the network, please
also avoid other devices’ IPs.
10. Click“Apply”
11. Please go to System -> Save & Reboot, and click ”Apply”. Internet Explorer will close
after a few seconds.This is normal.
12. Wait for 30 seconds, and open IE again to connect to the new IP.(In this example,
192.168.0.101). For the second device or more you add into the network, please type
the correct IP.
13. Adjust the defaultVideo setting by going to “Video & Audio”.
