WARNING
Depending on the material of mounting surface, different screws and anchors than those supplied
with the product may be required. To prevent the unit from falling off the surface, ensure that it is
mounted to a firm location (ceiling slab or channel) using a safety wire strong enough to withstand
the total weight of the unit. Be aware of the finishing at the end of the wire.
CAUTION
Safety wire should be connected, if supplied or ordered seperately, with one end the wall or ceiling
and the other to the safety-cord screw of the unit. By cabling so, it is possible to prevent the unit
from accidental falling in a sudden at any time.

Network Connection
Default IP Address
Since this is a network-based unit, an IP address must be assigned at the very first bootup. The
default IP address of the unit is 192.168.1.168 and sub mask is 255.255.255.0.
However, if you have a DHCP server in your network, the unit obtains an IP address automatically
from the DHCP server so that you do not need to change the IP address of the camera.
Note:If you assign the camera a Static IP address prior to DHCP being enabled, the camera first
reboots for approximately 30 seconds and then remains accessible at its Static IP until it connects to
a DHCP server.
• Connect to a PC directly: Directly connect the camera to a PC using a standard Ethernet
cable. This requires POE switch or injector.
• Connecting a camera to a Local Area Network (LAN): To add the camera to an existing
LAN, connect the camera to the POE hub or switch on your network.

is made to a DHCP server within two minutes, the camera goes to the default IP address
192.168.1.168, but continues to search for a DHCP address.
Note:If you assign the camera a Static IP address prior to DHCP being enabled, the camera first
reboots for approximately 30 seconds and then remains accessible at its Static IP until it connects to
a DHCP server.
