3. Product Installation
A. Hardware Installation
Cable Connections
Network Connector:
The RJ-45 connector allows connect the Ethernet cable.
Power Jack:
To connect the DC 12V power adapter.
Audio Output: The 3.5mm phone jack
allows connect to an amplified speaker,
you can hear the voice of the remote site from the speaker.

Digital I/O:
The terminal block provides the Digital In and Relay Out. The
pin assignments are:
(A) Digital Output
(B) Digital Input
(C) GND:Ground pin for both Digital Input and Digital Output.

Antenna Connector: Available for Wireless model. To connect the included wireless
antenna.
1. Connect the cable of Digital I/O and Audio Output if you want to use these
functionalities.

2. Connect the wireless antenna for the Wireless camera.
3. Connect Ethernet cable for network connection.
4. Connect power adapter to turn on the camera.
5. If the camera is PoE model, the power adapter is not necessary. The camera will get
the power from the PoE injector or PoE switch.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) is a technology that integrates power into a standard LAN
infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to the network device, such as an IP
phone or a network camera, using the same cable as that used for network connection.
It eliminates the need for power outlets at the camera locations. Please follow the
below figure for the connection.
6. Set up the network configurations according to the network environment. For further
explanation, please refer to Network Configuration chapter.
7. After finish the configuration for the very first time, if you want to use wireless network,
plug out the Ethernet cable.
I/O Connections
I/O terminal connector – used in application, for e.g., motion detection, event triggering,
alarm notifications. It provides the interface to:
1 set of Digital Input (Digital In + GND) – The digital inputs for connecting devices
that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, such as PIRs, door/window
contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is received the status changes
and the input becomes active.
1 set of Digital Output (Digital Out + GND) – The output to Relay Box or Relay
Board, and switch on the alarm device such as LEDs, Sirens, etc.

C. IP Assignment
Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your
camera in order to avoid using a previously assigned IP address.
MAC Address: Each network camera has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address)
shown on the sticker of the device.
One final note, although the IP Search is able to find and configure any network
device on the LAN except those that are behind a router, it is a good idea to set the
host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to the Web-based user interface of
the network camera, the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more information
about subnets, please consult your network administrator.
“Asoni IP Search” is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP
address and network settings of the network camera in Local Network (LAN).
The software can be installed from the attached software CD.
1. Once “Asoni IP Search” has been successfully installed on the computer, double
click the “Search CAM4_CAM6_NVR6LX” icon on the desktop.

2. IP Search searches all the network devices which connect to the intranet and lists
on the window. Click [Search] button to search again.
3. From the list, click and select the device with the MACAddress that corresponds to
the device that is to be configured.
4. The network configuration of the selected device will show on the bottom, filling in
the Device Name, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and the others.
5. Click [Modify]button to save the settings into the device.
6. Wait for few seconds to let the device update the settings, and then click [Search]
button again to re-search the network devices.
