Pull on the connection cover and then insert a
microSD card into the slot. (An SLC (Single Level
Cell) or MLC (Multi Level Cell) card by SanDisk or
Transcend is recommended)
•Do not remove the SD card while the system
is in operation. Removing the card while the
system is in operation can cause the system
to malfunction and/or corrupt data stored on
the SD card.
•An SD card is a consumable product with a
finite service life. Prolonged use will damage
the card's memory sectors and result in data
loss or memory card failure. Test the SD card
regularly and replace it whenever necessary.

Active Low (open collector output), Electrical
Specs: 30mA sync current at 5 VDC)
•In: Connect an alarm-in device to this port.
(Mechanism: Choose between an NC (Normally
Closed) type or an NO (Normally Open) type)
Connect a mechanical or electrical switch to the
alarm in port and the GND (ground) connector.
Alarm in range is 0V to 5V. In order to detect
alarm input from an electrical switch, the signal
must be higher than 4.3V from an NC switch or
less than 0.3V from an NO switch and must last
for longer than 0.5 seconds.
4Factory Reset Switch
Restores the camera's default factory settings. For
more information, refer to the Factory Reset.
When inserting an , audio in/out, or RS485
connector, hold down the button and push the

cable out.
•Check your local laws and regulations on making
video or audio recordings. The user will be held
liable for any violation of the law. (Article 25-5 of
the Personal Information Protection Act: Operators
of image data processing devices may not
operate such devices for purposes other than as
originally intended during device installation, place
such devices at locations other than as originally
intended, or use such devices to record audio.)
•The network connector is not designed to be
connected directly with cable or wire intended for
outdoor use.
Factory Reset
Only use the factory reset switch to restore the
camera to its factory default settings.
A factory reset will clear all camera settings
configured by the user.
1 Shut off the power supply, insert a straight pin
into the switch hole, and press down on the reset
switch.
2 Hold the switch down and reconnect the power
adapter.
3 Once the device turns back on and its LEDs start
blinking, wait 5 seconds and then remove the pin.
4 The device will go through the resetting process
and reboot. All camera settings will be restored to
their factory defaults after the reboot.
It's also possible to do a factory reset by pressing and
releasing the reset switch while the camera is turned
on or using the IDIS Discovery program from a remote
location. A factory reset will reboot the system. For
more information on factory reset, refer to the IDIS
Discovery operation manual.

Connect a network cable with an RJ-45 connector
to this port. If using a PoE switch, you can supply
power to the camera using an ethernet cable. For
more information on PoE switch use, refer to the
switch manufacturer's operation manual. You can
configure, manage, and upgrade this camera and
monitor its images from a remote computer over
the network. For more information on network
connection setup, refer to the IDIS Discovery
operation manual.

information, refer to the LED Status Indications.
6Power LED
Indicates the system's operating status. For more
information, refer to the LED Status Indications.
Press down on the button and insert the video out/
power connector cable into the opening. Release the
button and then pull on the cable slightly to ensure it
is held securely in place. To disconnect, press down
on the button again and pull the wire out.
•When switching over from 12 VDC to PoE as the
power source, the system will be rebooted once
the power adapter is disconnected.
•Ground the power port's frame ground terminal
before use.
•Organize the power cable so that it will not cause
people to trip over or become damaged from
chairs, cabinets, desks, and other objects in the
vicinity. Do not run the power cable underneath
carpet or a rug or plug the cable into a power
outlet shared by a number of other devices.
•Wrap the camera-end of the network cable twice
around the provided ferrite core (28A2024-0A2,
Laird Technologies) to subdue electromagnetic
wave generation.

Installation
The lens must be purchased separately. If you'd like
to purchase a lens, contact your camera retailer. This
camera supports manual iris lenses and DC type auto
iris lenses in either CS-mount or C-mount format.
•Product color and design may vary depending on
the model.
•We recommend megapixel lenses for clearer and
higher resolution images.
•Video type auto iris lenses are not supported.
•Use a lens that weighs less than 450g. Heavier
lenses can cause the camera to lose its balance.
Check the wall or ceiling to see if it needs to be
reinforced. The camera may fall off if the wall or
ceiling is not strong enough to support its weight.
Manual Iris Lens
1 Remove the protective cover from the camera.
2 Turn the lens in clockwise direction and mount it
on the camera.
3 Rotate the lens' iris ring to open up the iris and
then adjust accordingly.
DC Type Auto Iris Lens
1 Solder on the lens connection line to the connector
socket, if necessary. For more information about
soldering on the lens control wire, refer to the lens
manufacturer's operation manual.

Camera Protocol
Camera supports DirectIP™ and IDIS protocols.
•DirectIP™ protocol:
- Using with a DirectIP™ NVR enables camera use
without the need to configure network settings.
- The DirectIP™ NVR also allows you to control all
camera settings directly from the NVR, without
the need for a computer.
For more information on configuring camera settings
from a DirectIP™ NVR, refer to the DirectIP™'s
operation manual.
•IDIS protocol:
- Control the camera over the network from
software installed on a computer or a separate
NVR.
- Ideal for using the camera over the network from
a remote location.
Switching Protocols
1 Launch the IDIS Discovery program and from the
list, select a camera whose protocol you wish to
change.
2 Click on the Setup icon and then select Setup
→ Protocol Setup.
•Alternatively, you can right-click on the mouse
and select Protocol Setup.
3 From the Protocol Setup screen, select the
desired protocol and then click OK.
4 This will activate the selected protocol. You
