Heavy stress, violent vibration or water splash are not allowed during transportation,
storage and installation.
Pack the device with standard factory packaging or the equivalent material when
transporting the device.
It is recommended to use the device together with lightning arrester to improve lightning
protection effect.
It is recommended to ground the device to enhance reliability.
It is recommended to use qualified video transmission cable to improve video quality. It is
recommended to use RG59 coaxial cable or higher standard.
Use standard components or accessories provided by manufacturer and make sure the
device is installed and maintained by professional engineers.

Important Safeguards and Warnings IV
The surface of the image sensor should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an
environment where a laser beam device is used.
Do not provide two or more power supply sources for the device; otherwise it might
damage the device.
When the camera is in the condition of PoC power supply, do not connect any other device
between the camera and PoC transceiver including UTC, Balun, optical transceiver,
distributor and convertor and so on; otherwise, the device might get burned.

Introduction 1
1 Introduction
General1.1
This series of camera comply with the HDCVI standard and support the transmission of audio,
video and control signal over coaxial cable. They produce video signal with megapixel
resolution and require XVR device that comply with the HDCVI standard to achieve high speed,
long distance and zero lag transmission of the signal.
This series of camera can help to drive away threats before any damage happens; they can
deter intruders with motion-activated siren and white light alarm. They are applicable to cover
the high definition monitoring needs for locations like financial center, telecom site, supermarket,
hotel, government, school and factory.
Features1.2
720p series support over 800 meter real-time transmission of video and control signal from
RG59 cable; for 1080p and above, the distance is 500 meter.
Effectively enhanced alarm accuracy by combing PIR and motion detection.
Customizable siren and white light alarm.
PIR detection range: horizontal range: 110˚; detection distance: 2 m–10 m.
Auto switch from vivid color images by day and black-and-white images at night with ICR.
Provide clear IR imaging by adjusting IR light to moving objects with smart IR.
Configuring devices easily with OSD menu.
IP67 rated.
