Product overview
This is the installation guide for the following TruVision®IP
camera models:
TVQ-8101 (1080p IP Wi-Fi Desktop IR camera)
TVB-8101 (1080p IP Wi-Fi Bullet IR camera)
Installation environment
When installing the product, consider these factors:
Electrical: Electrical wiring should be installed carefully by
qualified service personnel. Always use a proper Power over
Ethernet (PoE)switch or a 12 VDC UL listed Class 2 or CE
certified power supply to power the camera. Do not overload
the power cord or adapter.
Ventilation: Ensure that the location planned for the
installation of the camera is well ventilated.
Temperature: Do not operate the camera beyond the
specified temperature, humidity, or power source ratings. The
operating temperature of the camera is between -20 to +60°C
(-4 to 140°F). Humidity is below 90%.
Moisture: Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture, or try
to operate it in wet areas. Turn the power off immediately if the
camera is wet and ask a qualified service person for servicing.
Moisture can damage the camera and also create the danger
of electric shock.
Servicing: Do not attempt to service this camera yourself. Any
attempt to dismantle or remove the covers from this product
invalidates the warranty and may also result in serious injury.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Cleaning: Do not touch the sensor modules with fingers. If
cleaning is necessary, use a clean cloth with some ethanol
and wipe the camera gently. If the camera will not be used for
an extended period of time, put on the lens cap to protect the
sensors from dirt.
Reflectivity: Ensure 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.

Cable requirements
For proper operation, adhere to the following cable and power
requirements for the cameras. Category 5 cabling or better is
recommended. All network cabling must be installed according to
applicable codes and regulations.
Package contents
Check the package and contents for visible damage. If any
components are damaged or missing, do not attempt to use the

Ensure that all the related equipment is powered off during the
physical installation/camera mounting.
Ensure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough to withstand
four times the weight of the camera assembly.
Bullet Camera
To mount the bullet camera on a wall or ceiling:
1. Drill the holes for the mounting hardware in the mounting
surface using the supplied drill template. To route the cables
from the base of the camera, drill a cable access hole in the
mounting surface.

Desktop Camera
To mount the desktop camera on a magnetic surface:
Place the base of the camera on a magnetic surface to hold the
camera in place.
WARNING: Magnetic fields can erase data on a credit card and
cause damage to cell phones and hard drives.
To mount the desktop camera on a wall or ceiling:
1. Drill the screw holes according to the drill template.
2. Disassemble the three-axis bracket. Hold the base (2) with
one hand, and rotate the pole (1) counter-clockwise to
disassemble the pole from the base.
3. Mount the fixed tray (item 3 in step 2) to the ceiling or wall with
the supplied screws.

Internet Explorer 8 or later
Safari 5 or later
P/N 1073278-EN • REV A • ISS 09MAY17 © 2017 United Technologies Corporation. All rights reserved. 13

Quick setup
Note: If the light source where the camera is installed
experiences rapid, wide variations in lighting, the camera may not
operate as intended.
To quickly put the camera into operation:
1. Mount the camera. (See “Mounting” on page 10)
2. Connect the camera to a local network via Wi-Fi. (See “Add
cameras to a Wi-Fi network” on page 15)
3. Reboot the camera.
1. Setting up Ethernet/Wi-Fi transmission
Wi-Fi transmission distance
The Wi-Fi transmission distance/range of the camera is
approximately 50 m (164 ft.) in open air applications.
Note: The transmission distance may vary due to the presence of
physical obstacles such as trees, walls, elevators, fire doors,
furniture, etc. Avoid very solid walls and metallic objects in the
transmission path.
Other Wi-Fi networks (for example Wi-Fi, WiMAX) operating on
2.4 GHz and certain types of devices (such as microwave ovens
or point-to-point Wi-Fi transmissions)can cause interference with
the network and a reduction in transmission distance/range.
Wi-Fi signal strength
Wi-Fi signal strength can be checked in the Wireless List in the
camera’s browser interface (see “Add cameras to a Wi-Fi
network” on page 15). Use the scale below to determine if actions
are needed to improve performance.
85+ – Excellent:
No additional actions needed and default video resolutions
settings may be increased if required.
Below 65
Poor
65-75
Good
75-85 Very
Good
85+
Excellent
14 P/N 1073278-EN • REV A • ISS 09MAY17 © 2017 United Technologies Corporation. All rights reserved.

75-85 – Very Good:
No additional actions are required to increase signal strength. It is
not recommended to increase video resolution settings.
65-75 – Good:
We recommend using a Wi-Fi repeater or powerline adapter to
increase signal strength. Alternatively, video resolutions settings
may be reduced to minimize poor video quality.
Below 65 – Poor:
We do not recommend using a camera with a signal strength
below 65. Video streams are not likely to work below this level. A
Wi-Fi repeater or powerline adapter should be used to increase
signal strength.
2. Add cameras to a Wi-Fi network
RECOMMENDED METHOD
(use a temporary Wi-Fi connection for setup)
Note: We highly recommended using a dedicated router for all
TruVision installations that include cameras for the following
reasons:
To avoid service calls from homeowners as a result of
changing their Wi-Fi password.
To maintain privacy of the homeowner’s Wi-Fi network
password.
To reduce the risk of local communication issues between the
router and cameras.
Note: While the steps below are followed, the camera cannot be
accessed by users other than the user performing the setup.
1. Apply power to the camera.
Note: It may take up to two minutes for the camera to boot up.
2. Note the model and serial numbers on the camera.
3. Find the camera in the list of wireless networks available to the
device being used for setup and initiate connection.
4. Enter the camera’s serial number as the security
key/password.
5. Log in to the browser interface (see “Browser requirements”
on page 13) using the default settings:
P/N 1073278-EN • REV A • ISS 09MAY17 © 2017 United Technologies Corporation. All rights reserved. 15

Camera's default IP address: 192.168.2.70
User Name: admin
Password: 1234
Note: A pop-up may appear asking for an immediate
password change. We strongly recommend changing the
password. Select OK in this dialog and any subsequent
dialogs that may appear.
6. Click or tap the Configuration tab.
Note: A pop-up may appear prompting for plug-in installation.
Follow the installation prompts to install the plug-in.
7. Select Network and then select Wi-Fi on the left menu.
8. Click or tap Search.
9. Click or tap on the Wi-Fi network to be used for the camera in
the Wireless List.
10.Type the Wi-Fi network passphrase in the Key 1 field.
11.Scroll down and click or tap the Save button on the bottom of
the screen.
Note: Do not select Connect in the WPS Section.

typing the camera’s IP address into an internet browser. The
default camera IP address is 192.168.1.70 in a network
without a DHCP server.
8. The TruVision Configurator appears. Enter the credentials
below:
User Name: admin
Password: 1234
9. Tap Network and then tap Basic Settings on the left menu.
10.Change LAN settings to the required configuration. If a static
IP Address is required, change the IPv4 Address and IPv4
Subnet Mask to match the router.
a. Change the static IP address to something different than
the default 192.168.1.70 if more than one camera is used
on the network.

Add cameras via WPS
A WPS-enabled wireless router is required to add a camera using
the WPS function.
1. Press the WPS button on the router.
2. Within 120 seconds of pressing the WPS button on the router,
press the WPS button on the camera for approximately two
seconds. See “Camera description – Bullet Camera” on page
6 and “Camera description – Desktop Camera” on page 7 for
WPS button and LED locations.
The link LED on the camera flashes rapidly to indicate that it
has joined the wireless network.
3. Power cycle the camera. See “3. Reboot cameras” on page
16.
