WARNINGS
In the use of the product, you must be in strict compliance
with the electrical safety regulations of the nation and region.
Refer to the technical specifications for detailed information.
Input voltage should meet both the SELV (Safety Extra Low
Voltage) and the Limited Power Source with 24 VAC or
12 VDC according to the IEC60950-1 standard. Refer to the
technical specifications for detailed information.
Do not connect several devices to one power adapter as
adapter overload may cause over-heating or fire hazard.
Make sure the plug is firmly connected to the power socket.
When the product is mounted on the wall or ceiling, the
device should be firmly fixed.
If smoke, odor, or noise rise from the device, turn off the
power at once and unplug the power cable. Contact the
service center.
If the product does not work properly, contact your dealer or
the nearest service center. Never attempt to disassemble the
camera yourself. (We shall not assume any responsibility for
problems caused by unauthorized repair or maintenance.)

CAUTIONS
Make sure the power supply voltage is correct before using
the camera.
Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.
Do not touch CMOS modules with fingers. If cleaning is
necessary, use a clean cloth with a bit of ethanol and wipe it
gently. If the camera will not be used for an extended period,
replace the lens cap to protect the CMOS from dirt.
Do not aim the camera at the sun or exceedingly bright
places. Blooming or smearing may occur (which is not a
malfunction), and affect the endurance of the CMOS at the
same time.
The CMOS may be burned out by a laser beam, so when
laser equipment is in use, make sure that the surface of the
CMOS will not be exposed to the laser beam.
Do not expose the camera to high electromagnetic radiation,
extremely hot or cold environments (the operating
temperature should be -30 to +60℃), or dusty or damp
locations.
To avoid heat accumulation, good ventilation is required for
operating environment.
Keep the camera away from liquid while in use.
When returning a camera, pack it in its original packing, or
similar packing materials.
Improper use or replacement of the battery may result in
hazard of explosion. Replace it with the same or equivalent
type only. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.

Setting the network camera over
the LAN
To view and configure the camera via LAN (Local Area
Network), you will need to connect the network camera in the
same subnet with your PC. Then install the SADP software to
search and change the IP address of the network camera. The
SADP software is available for download from Clare Controls at
www.clarecontrols.com.

Figure 2: Wiring over LAN
To set the IP address of the camera for accessing via LAN:
1. To get the IP address, use the SADP. It can automatically
detect the network camera in the LAN. It also lists device
information like IP address, subnet mask, port number,
device serial number, and device version, shown in the
figure below.
2. Change the IP address and subnet mask to the same
subnet as of your PC.
After launching the SADP software, it automatically
searches the online devices every 15 seconds from the
subnet where your computer is located. It displays the
total number and information of the searched devices in
the Online Devices interface. The interface displays the
device type, IP address, port number, and gateway.
