3Setting up the Network Camera
3.1 Read Before Use
The use of surveillance devices may be prohibited by law in your country. The Network Camera is not only a
high-performance web-ready camera but can also be part of a flexible surveillance system. It is the user’s
responsibility to ensure that the operation of such devices is legal before installing this unit for its intended use.
It is important to first verify that all contents received are complete. Take note of the warnings in the Quick
Installation Guide before the Network Camera is installed; then carefully read and follow the instructions in the
Installation chapter to avoid damage due to faulty assembly and installation. This also ensures the product is used
properly as intended. It is designed for various applications including video sharing, general security/surveillance,
etc.
3.2 Hardware Installation Steps
After unpacking the package and identifying its parts, assemble the network camera to run the device for the first
time.
It is recommended set up the camera before installing it to the intended location.
The following instructions will consist of basic steps that will help you through the hardware preparation.
Other required devices before powering up the Network Camera:
1. Personal Computer or Laptop; and
2. Network Hub or Switch and 2 (two) pieces of Ethernet Cable; or
3. 1(one) piece of Crossover Ethernet Cable
STEPS:
1. Use an Ethernet cable to establish connection between the camera’s network port and a network
hub/switch. Then, connect the power adapter (For Network Cameras that are
Power-over-Ethernet supported, the Power Adapter is not necessary). Refer to the images below.
2. After the Power Connector is plugged in, the Network Camera will boot up.
3. Wait a few seconds for the Network Camera to startup
4. Refer to the section of “Using the Network Camera for the first time” in the next page

Removing the clear dome cover
Delete the clear dome cover from the main body by gently turning the cover counter-clockwise to unlock and pull
free from the main body.
Mount the Camera on Wall/Ceiling
After the cover is removed, the camera can be mounted on a ceiling or a wall. When mounting the camera,
remember the conduit facing downwards (from the direction of the camera).
Delete the clear dome cover to locate:
1) Micro SD Card Slot
2) Terminal Block
3) Factory Default
Apply retention
screws and then
rotate the camera
module
Before mounting, remember to drill the holes on wall/ceiling for the screw holes and the conduit at the
bottom of the camera
Apply two other
retention screws

Pan/Tilt the Network Camera
The Network Camera is a 2-Axis dome network camera, for which you can adjust the camera to any direction by
using Pan base rotation, Tilt up / down mechanism.
How to adjust the lens focus
In order to adjust the focus of the Network Camera, turn the focus ring in
clockwise direction to get the appropriate image.
Note:it is required get connected to the Network Camera prior to adjust
the focus. The unit out from factory may already be focused. Unless
necessary, there might not be a need to adjust it.
Pan Base Rotation
Tilt Up/Down

7
Attaching the dome cover
After all necessary adjustment has been made reinstall the dome cover to the main body.
Reinstall the dome cover and the main body by turning the dome clockwise until it locks in place.
The dome comes with a black plastic inner liner placed within the dome cover. Therefore, after replacing the
dome cover rotate the liner so that the cutout slot (hole for viewing) is in the correct position and not blocking
the camera lens.
Camera Protection
To prevent unpredictable damage and burglary, lock-up the dome by using the countersunk head screw.
The black plastic inner
liner has a cutout slot for
viewing.

3.3 Using the Terminal Block
The network camera comes with a Terminal Block
that can offer multiple functions to the user:
Pin 1 ~ 4: Intended for triggering and receiving alarms
for the Event Configuration feature.
Pin 5, 6: Terminal block also provides 2 pins, Pin 5 and
6, for “load default”. With 2 wires connected to Pin 5
& 6, keep 2 wires in touch until System LED fast
flashing. Then, separate them to activate “load
default”.
Connecting Alarm devices
Connect Pin 1 and Pin 2 for an external relay device such as an alarm that expects to be activated.
Connect Pin 3 and Pin 4 for an external Triggering device for sending a signal into the Network Camera.
Refer to Chapter 5) Configuring the camera, Event Settings for more references on how to use the even trigger
and alarm to perform tasks such as taking snapshots and uploading images.
Load default
With 2 wires connected to Pin 5 & 6, keep 2 wires in touch (or close circuit) until System LED fast flashing. Then,
separate (or open) them to activate “load default”.

3.4 Network Connection for PoE/Non-PoE Cameras
The Network Camera comes as an optional model which supports Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
Using Power-over-Ethernet as power supplying mode, takes advantage of having a simple connection, with only
one Ethernet Cable to act like Data and Power transmission. And it is not necessary to use any Power Adapter
since the powering will be done directly through the Ethernet Connector.
Below a comparison between a Regular Ethernet connection and a connection using Network Camera with
built-in Power-over-Ethernet.
Note:For safety precautions, when using a PoE Video Encoder, ensure that the standard Power
Connector has been removed before plugging the Ethernet cable (which is attached on the other end to a
PoE Hub / Switch).
