device will make the system back to a normal state. However, if the system still got
problems after restart, user can restore the factory default settings and configure it again.
Restore the device:
(i) Press the button down continuously.
(ii) Hold the button at least 5 seconds and release it. Then the device has been
restored to default settings and reboot again.
Note: Restoring the factory default setting will lose the all previous settings included IP
address forever. User needs to run the IPWizard II program to search the device and
configure it to let the device work properly again.
4. Micro SD Card Slot
User can insert a micro SD card into this slot for recording.
5. AC 24V Power
The input power is AC 24V.
In case, you want to use the attached cable to connect this camera again, please check
and plug the cable to wafer 1~5 properly and carefully.
Connector cable (option):

5. Connect the LAN cable to Ethernet‟s switch or hub and the DC-Jack to the power
source. Note: Use the power adapter, 12VDC, included in the package and connect it
to wall outlet for AC power. And connect the other cables and connectors if
necessary.
Once you have installed the camera well and powered it on, the Power LED (orange)
will turn on later. The Power LED turned on, it means the system is booting up
successfully. Furthermore, if you have a proper network connection, and access to
the camera, the LAN LED (green) will flash.
6. When the camera cabling is completed, close the top cover dome housing and secure
it by two screws. And then adjust PIR sensor to proper position. Once the PIR sensor
is well [position, then secure it by another two screws.
7. Done.
Wall Mount (L-type bracket is optional)
1. Fix the L-type bracket to the wall using two holly wall anchors and screws
2. Fix the camera to L-type bracket with the two supplied screws
