SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All the following safety and operational instructions to prevent harm or injury to the operator(s) or
other persons should be read carefully before the unit is activated.
RISQUE D’EXPLOSION SI LA PILE EST REMPLACEE PAR UN TYPE INCORRECT.
DEBARRASSEZ-VOUS DES PILES USAGEES EN SUIVANT LES INSTRUCTIONS.
ATTENTION
 PoE warning : If the PoE injector is used instead of the supplied power adaptor, all
of the wiring to and from the injector must be routed/ installed inside a building
/
plant and never routed/ installed outside of the building/ plant.
 Please only select a power adapter or power certified by UL and marked at 24Vac
/ 60 Hz, minimum 1A, class 2 or LPS.
 The IP Box Camera and the Indoor Mini-dome are for Indoor use only.
CAUTION
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
 To prevent fire or electric shock, do not overload wall outlets or extension cords.
 Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols for cleaning.
WARNING
 To prevent fire or shock hazard, avoid exposing this unit to rain or moisture.
 Do not block ventilation openings.
 Do not place anything on top of the unit that might spill or fall into it.
 Do not attempt to service this unit yourself, as opening or removing covers ma
y
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Please refer all servicing to
your distributor/ retailer.

1. PRODUCT FEATURES
1.1 Product Instructions
APPRO's LC-75x4 is a high performance network camera which is equipped with a 1.3 megapixel
SONY Exmor sensor and a resolution of up to 1280x1024. It offers you cutting-edge technology at
the best price you can get on the market.
1280x1024 Pixels
The LC-75x4 supports 1280x1024 recording for high quality images. Integrated with the next
generation H.264 technology, the LC-75x4 can compress video size, so you can transfer high
quality images to and from the Internet smoothly and swiftly.
Day & Night
This network camera adjusts to provide pictures at various light levels. Using the IR-cut filter by day,
it switches automatically to infrared (IR) light at night to produce top quality images.
WDR
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology captures clear images in conditions of extreme brightness
and darkness, as well as in strongly backlit situations. Our WDR uses dual-exposure (known as
"double-shutter") technology in video fields and combines these two fields in one frame to get wider
extended dynamic range images.
Customized to suit the light
Our scheduled scenario settings customize exposure modes for your needs, adjusting your
cameras to the differences in the varying strengths of light available at all hours in any given site.
This enables ideal surveillance for all sites anywhere, from street traffic through shopping malls,
buildings and office interiors.
Low Light
The LC-75x4 delivers high quality low-light performance and makes it easier to capture low-light
situations without worrying about insufficient illumination. This satisfies the need for a continuous,
24-hour monitoring. You can get clear and detailed images in full color even in extremely dark
conditions.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE SURFACE
2.1 The IP Box Camera (PoE)
Front Panel and Rear Panel:
-- Front Panel -- -- Rear Panel --
1. Light Sensor: Registers the quality of light in the camera’s environment and detects with day/
night mode to provide better information concerning the light.
2. MICROPHONE: The IP Camera has an additional audio function. The device has a
microphone built into its front panel which records sound.
3. POWER indicator: Indicates the power status of the unit.
4. Plug Inlet: A DC 12V inlet that connects to an external power supply.
5. Plug Inlet: An AC 24V inlet that connects to an external power supply.
6. ETHERNET 10/100 Connector: This is a standard RJ-45 connector for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
networks. PoE (Power over Ethernet) function: Provides power to the device via the same
cable as used for the network connection.
7. RESET: Recover to factory default. (Refer to section 2.4 The Reset Button.)
8. VIDEO OUT Connector (BNC): This output provides the unit’s composite video signal to a
Composite/Analog input. (This connector is used for service to adjust and improve the image.)
9. USB port: The user can use a USB device cable to connect the IP camera to the USB port on
the PC.
10.LED indicator: The green light indicates the unit is activating and the SD card cannot be
removed.
11.AUDIO IN: The connector is used to connect the audio output from other devices to the camera.
12.SD/ SDHC CARD slot: This is used for updating system software and archiving / accessing
critical images.
13.GPIO: This is a 6-PIN connector including the ALARM IN/OUT, RS-485, DC OUTPUT and
GROUND items for connecting with external devices.
14.AUDIO OUT: Provides the camera’s audio signal to a speaker or stereo.

1. IRIS: Auto iris connector.
This camera works with a DC drive auto iris lens. Please refer to the pin assignment
marked on the camera when connecting the auto iris lens
2. DIP Switch:
1. AES: Auto electric shutter.
2. DC IRIS: Use an auto iris (DC drive)
3. DHCP: Turn On / Turn Off to use the DHCP protocol. If the switch
points upwards, the device can obtain an IP address from
the DHCP server via the network.
4. STATIC IP: If the switch points down, the device can’t obtain an IP
address from the DHCP server. This option is needed
to configure the network communication settings.
(*In the default factory configuration, this DIP Switch is in the Down
position.)
