1. For later reference, enter the device’s serial number. This
number, “the MAC”, is found on the underside of the
camera:
2. Before installing the camera in its nal locaon, connect
the router to “Data In” on the PoE injector and connect the
injector’s “Data & Power Out” port to the Camera using
Cat-5 network cables. Note: Runs can be no longer than 100
meters. Connect the PoE injector to a power outlet.
3. If you intend to take advantage of the camera’s onboard
heater, the camera must be powered using a 12VDC/24VAC
power supply. Aach the camera’s “Power” connector
to the power cable adapter using the oponal Phoenix
connector and plug in a power supply to the female barrel
connector. When using a separate power supply, the PoE
injector is no longer necessary. Instead use a Cat-5 network
cable to connect the camera’s network jack to the router.
Included in the box:
• CheckVideo® HD Outdoor Bullet Camera
• Bag of mounng parts: screws (5), drywall
mounts (5), hex wrench, 2 Phoenix connectors

You’ll also need:
• PC or Mac® with Broadband Internet Service
• Router, connected to the Internet
• Phillips screwdriver

4. Choose a maximum Video Resoluon for each email address. If
you intend to use MMS to send video to a mobile phone, do not
select a resoluon higher than 480p. For 720p or 1080p, send the
nocaons as an aached video clip to a tradional email address
(ex: [email protected]). Use the Test buon to conrm that the video
resoluon is valid for your device/carrier.
