Chapter 3. Mini Outdoor HD Camera Setup
3.1 Before powering on the camera
If you wish to save the video clips locally or turn on the continuous recording function, a MicroSD card needs
to be inserted into the camera. Use the wrench to open up the lid located on the bottom of the camera,
insert the MicroSD card, and then close the lid. For details on how to check the current storage size of the
MicroSD card, see Section 4.6 –Local Storage.
Note: Before you insert the MicroSD card into the camera, make sure it has been formatted to FAT 32. Do not
insert the MicroSD card into the camera when it is powered on, as this may damage the MicroSD card.
3.2 Powering on the camera
There are two ways for powering on the camera and connecting it to the system.
1. Powering the camera with power adapter (recommended to general users):
For users who would like to use Wi-Fi or general routers to provide the network connection to the camera.
Please use the included power adapter. Please plug the power adapter into the power outlet.

If the user prefers to power the camera over Ethernet, please verify that a PoE Injector and two RJ45 cables
are available (PoE Injector and RJ45 cables are not included in the package).
Connect the PoE Injector to your router via RJ45 cable that links with the security shuttle. Meanwhile,
connect the PoE Injector to the camera’s Ethernet interface with another RJ45 cable that will deliver DC
power as well as transfer data. Lastly, power on the PoE Injector.
