Important Safeguards and Warnings
1．Electrical safety
All installation and operation here should conform to your local electrical safety codes.
Please check if the power supply is correct before operating the device.
The power shall conform to the requirement in the SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and the
Limited power source is rated DC 12V or AC 24V in the IEC60950-1. (Power supply requirement is
subject to the device label).
Please install easy-to-use device for power off before installing wiring, which is for emergent power
off when necessary.
Please prevent the line cord from being trampled or pressed, especially the plug, power socket and
the junction from the device.
Note: Do not connect these two power supplying sources to the device at the same time; it
may result in device damage!
We assume no liability or responsibility for all the fires or electrical shock caused by improper
handling or installation.
We are not liable for any problems caused by unauthorized modification or attempted repair.
2．Environment
Please don’t aim the device at strong light (such as lighting, sunlight and so on) to focus; otherwise
it may cause overexposure (It is not the device malfunction), which will affect the longevity of CCD
or CMOS.
Please transport, use and store the device within the range of allowed humidity and temperature.
Please don’t keep the device in a place which is wet, dusty, extremely hot, and extremely cold and
with strong electromagnetic radiation or unstable lighting.
Please do not allow water and other liquid falling into the camera in case that the internal
components are damaged.
Please do not allow rain or damp to the indoor device in case fire or lightning may occur.
Please keep the sound ventilation in case of heat accumulation.
Please pack the device with standard factory packaging or material with same quality when
transporting the device.
Heavy stress, violent vibration or water splash are not allowed during transportation, storage and
installation.
3. Operation and Daily Maintenance
Please do not touch the heat dissipation component of the device directly in order to avoid scald.

1.3 Alarm Setup
Note:
It is only supported by some series products.
Figure 1-3
Alarm input, output description:
Step 1 Connect alarm input device to the alarm input of I/O cable.
Step 2 Connect alarm output device to the alarm output of I/O cable, alarm output is collector open
circuit output which connects 10K resistor to 3.3V externally.
Step 3 Open the Web, set alarm input and output correspondingly. Alarm input on WEB
corresponds to I/O cable on device. When there is alarm, alarm input device will generate
signal of high and low level. Set corresponding NO and NC inputs.
Step 4 Set the WEB alarm output. The alarm output is for the alarm output port of the device. It is the
alarm output port of the I/O cable.
Please refer to the following figure for alarm input information. See Figure 1-4.
Alarm input: When the input signal is idle or grounded, the device can collect the different statuses of
the alarm input port. When the input signal is connected to 3.3V or it is idle, the device collects the
logic “1”. When the input signal is grounded, the device collects the logic “0”.

Please refer to the following figure for alarm output information. See Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6.
Figure 1-5
Figure 1-6
Mode A: Level application. Alarm output high and low level, alarm output is OC; it needs to increase
pull-up resistance externally to work normally. Max external pull-up level is 5V, max port current is
5mA. After external pull-up resistance is increased, the default of output signal is high level (external
pull-up voltage), and it switches to low level when there is alarm output (when the working current is
5mA, output voltage is less than 0.8V).
Mode B: Switch application. Alarm output is used to drive external circuit, max current is 30mA, max
voltage is 5V, it is advised to add a relay if it is beyond the value.

Figure 2-4.
Figure 2-4
2. Adjust the direction of Micro SD card and install it into the installation slot.
3. Close the Micro SD card slot and lock the slot firmly.
Step 3
Fix the device on the installation surface
1. Take out the installation position map from the accessories bag and paste it on the installation
surface (ceiling or wall), dig three bottom holes for plastic expansion bolt according to the three
holes sites with cross sign on the installation position map, then insert three expansion bolts into
the installation holes and lock them firmly.
2. Adjust the device installation pedestal to the proper position and then pull cable through the exit
hole on Installation surface. Make direction of TOP sign same as it on installation position map.
Line up the three screw holes in the device pedestal to the three plastic expansion bolt holes in the
installation position, and then insert three self-tapping screws into the three plastic expansion bolts
and lock them firmly. Finally fix the dome body on installation surface.
Note:
If users adopt top outlet mode from installation surface when installing cable, you must dig an exit
hole on installation surface according to the installation position map.
If users adopt side cable outlet when installing cable, it must go through the U-shape channel on
dome pedestal, and take out cable from the side exit hole on pedestal.
Step 4
Adjust device monitoring direction, which is shown in Figure 2-5.

horizontally to the targeted position; loosen the two hand screws on the both sides of the rotation
bracket (do not remove them completely, just make them loose), hold the camera module to make the
lens rotate vertically, adjust the vertical direction of lens monitoring image to a proper monitoring angle,
then tighten the fixed screws on the decoration cover.
Note:
Range of adjusting lens angle: vertical (0°～+75°), horizontal (0°～+355°).
Step 5
Adjust manual vari-focal lens (optional), which is shown in Figure 2-6.
Note:
The motorized vari-focal series are equipped with motorized vari-focal lens by default, which needs no
manual adjustment.

slightly to make it swing, adjust the lens focal length to the needed position according to the image
display.
2. Loosen the adjustment screw D slightly, and then move the threaded rod of adjustment screw D
slightly to make it swing, make the lens focus clear according to the image display, then tighten the
adjusting screw D.
3. The image may become blurry during the process of tightening adjusting screw D, adjust the
image slightly via moving adjusting screw C, then adjust the image to become clear and finally
tighten the screw C.
