Overview
This user‟s guide explains how to operate this camera from a computer. User should read this
manual completely and carefully before you operate the device.
Introduction
This camera is an inexpensive and fully scalable surveillance device. Because the IP cameras can
be plugged into your existing local area network (LAN), you will potentially save thousands of
dollars from unnecessary cabling.
The device is accessible via the LAN or Internet connection. Connect your device directly to a local
area network or xDSL modem, and with Microsoft®Internet Explorer you get instant, on demand
video streams. Within minutes you can set up the device to capture a video sequence to a PC. The
live video can be uploaded to a website for the world to see.

MIC in (audio in): Connect an external microphone to the IP camera.
Line out (audio out): Connect a speaker to the IP camera. This function is for voice alerting
and two-way audio.
12V DC Jack:Connect to the power adaptor that included in the package (12VDC).
RJ45 LAN Socket: Connect to PC or Hub/Switch.
For connections to 10Base-T Ethernet or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling. This Ethernet port
built N-Way protocol can detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the network automatically.
Please use CAT 5 cable to connect the IP Camera to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network switch
or hub.
In the RJ-45 LAN socket, there are two LEDs embedded:
LAN LED (green color): This LED will be flashing while network accessing via Ethernet.
Power or Wireless LED (orange color): This LED is used to indicate whether DC power is ON or
OFF. In addition, this LED will be flashing while the wireless accessing the camera.
Factory Default Reset: This button is used to restore all factory default settings.
Restore the device:
1. Press the button down continuously.
2. Hold the button at least 5s seconds and release it. Then the device has been

restored to factory 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.

Hardware Installation
1. Use the L-wrench to loosen the tamper-resistant housing cover (with screws still attached
on the cover). The unit has a factory installed side conduit entry and one may adjust the
cables to back conduit entry according to installation requirement.
2. Set the mounting base onto the wall or ceiling and center it over the mounting hole, using four
retaining screws to secure the main body.
3. Set the proper image by moving the camera body (some model may limit the PCB board to
180°rotational adjustment) and set the focus by turning the lens to the left or right direction.
4. When the camera focus adjustment has been completed, use the L-wrench to fasten the
tamper-resistant housing to the main body.
5. Vari-Focal Dome Operation Guide: Once the picture appears on the monitor, open the cover
and adjust the lens wrench to “Near←→Far”, get the view zoom that you desire, and then
adjust the focus wrench of the lens to obtain the best picture. After adjustment, tighten both
wrenches.
6. CAT 5 cable must connect to the hub or switch, and the DC-Jack must connect to the power
source. Connect the other cables and connectors if necessary.
