3Installation
Before you start:
Make sure the device in the package is in good condition and all
the assembly parts are included.
Make sure all the related equipment is power-off during the
installation.
Check the specification of the products for the installation
environment.
Make sure the power supply is matched with your required
voltage to avoid damage.
If the product does not function properly, please contact your
dealer or the nearest service center. Do not disassemble the
camera for repair or maintenance by yourself.
Make sure that the wall is strong enough to withstand three times
the weight of the camera.
For the camera that supports IR, you are required to pay attention to
the following precautions to prevent IR reflection:
●Dust or grease on the dome cover will cause IR reflection.
Please do not remove the dome cover film until the installation
is finished. If there is dust or grease on the dome cover, clean
the dome cover with clean soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
●Make sure that there is no reflective surface too close to the
camera lens. The IR light from the camera may reflect back into
the lens causing reflection.

4Setting the Network Camera over the
LAN
Purpose:
To view and configure the camera via LAN (Local Area Network), you
need to connect the network camera in the same subnet with your
PC. Then, install the SADP or PCNVR software to search and change
the IP of network camera.
The following figure shows the cable connection of network
camera and PC:
Wiring over LANFigure 4-1
Set the IP address of the camera for accessing via LAN.
Steps:
1. To get the IP address, you can choose either of the following
methods:
Use SADP, a software tool which can automatically detect
network camera in the LAN and list the device information like IP
address, subnet mask, port number, device serial number, device
version, etc., shown in Figure 4-2.

Use PCNVR software and to list the online devices. Please refer
to the user manual of PCNVR client software for detailed
information.
2. Change the IP address and subnet mask to the same subnet as of
your PC.
Refer to the following introductions to set IP address with SADP
software:
Search active devices online
Search online devices automatically:
After launch the SADP software, it automatically searches the
online devices every 15 seconds from the subnet where your
computer locates. It displays the total number and
information of the searched devices in the Online Devices
interface. Device information including the device type, IP
address, port number, gateway, etc. will be displayed.
