Safety Instruction
These instructions are intended to ensure that the user can use the product correctly to avoid danger or
property loss. Please read this Guide carefully before using the product, and keep it properly for future
reference. If the product cannot work normally or is damaged because the user does not follow the
safety instructions, we shall not assume any responsibility.
Before installation, please follow the instructions below:
Instructions
1. Please adopt power supply in the safety voltage range.
2. If the product does not work properly, please contact your dealer or the nearest service center.
Never attempt to disassemble or repair the product yourself in any way.
3. Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.
4. When cleaning the lens, please use a rubber dust blower to remove dust on the lens or filter, and
use dry soft cleaning cloth to remove the dirt on camera surface. For some hard dirt, user can apply
some detergent to the cleaning cloth and wipe gently. Never apply any volatile solvent, such as
ethanol, benzene and diluents, to avoid damage to surface coating.
5. Do not focus the camera lens on strong light such as the sun or incandescent lamp. The strong light
can cause overexposure or light leak (not camera malfunction), which may shorten camera lifetime.
6. Do not expose the camera in the environment not defined in the Manual. Maintenance and fee due
to exposure of product in the wrong conditions will be user’s responsibility.
7. Indoor Dome Camera cannot be installed at rainy or wet places. If the Indoor Dome Camera has a

iii
connecting rod on the bracket, make sure there is no hole on the rod to avoid water.
8. Outdoor Dome Camera must be completely sealed to avoid dampness. Make sure there is no hole
on the connecting rod of bracket to avoid water.
9. While shipping the camera, pack it in the factory packing or use materials with equivalent quality.
10. When it is necessary to replace a part, please contact your dealer in advance and replace the part
with specified model or part of the same features. We shall not assume any responsibility for
problems caused by unauthorized replacement.
11. Do not shield the sensor at front of the lens housing.
12. When power off the camera, reboot it after 30 seconds.
Anti-thunder and Anti-surge
The camera adopts built-in anti-thunder technology and can withstand instant 4KV thunder when it is
well grounded. To prevent damage caused by thunders exceeding the built-in anti-thunder level, an
independent anti-thunder engineering must be carried out. When installing it outdoor, please note the
following tips to reduce damage efficiently such as thunder.
1. The distance between the signal
2. wire and the high-tension apparatus or high voltage cable should be at least 50m.
3. Try to route cables along the eave when installing outdoor.
4. When installing camera in an open field, route cables inside sealed steel pipes under the earth and
ground the pipes with one point. Never route cables in aerial way.
5. In heavy thunderstorm area or high-tension zone (such as high voltage transformer substation), an
extra superpower anti-thunder apparatus and lightning rod must be installed.
6. The anti-thunder and grounding design of outdoor apparatus and wires must consider the
anti-thunder requirements of the building and conform to the requests of national and industrial
standards.
7. The system must be grounded with equipotential. The grounding apparatus must be
anti-interference and electrically safe. It cannot be short-circuited or hybrid connected to the null line
of high-voltage power grid. When it is grounded independently, the ground impedance is ≤4Ωand
the earth lead section surface must be ≥25mm2.
8. The anti-thunder grounding wire of the dome camera uses multi-strand copper cable with section
surface ≥4mm2(strand diameter about ≥2.3mm).

dropdown list of Min Focus Distance (i.e. the min. focus distance for the lens, the lens will be
unable to focus automatically when the distance is less than the selected distance).
4.1.2.2 Aperture
The function of aperture is to control the amount of input light. A large aperture allows more light
and thus the image is brighter.
In the interface of Live View, click (Aperture+)/ (Aperture-) and adjust aperture.
Go to Settings > Camera > Image > Exposure, select “DC-IRIS Auto/ DC-IRIS Manual”for
Aperture Mode and drag the slide bar of Aperture Sensitivity to adjust aperture. Auto mode is
suggested.
4.1.2.3 Brightness
The image will look completely or partially dark and hard to recognize in low light condition. Web
client provides the following methods to increase image brightness and ensure surveillance
quality.
*Enable IR Light or Laser
In low light situation, IR lamp can be started to get better surveillance images. Click to
enable and to disable.
Increase Image Brightness
In the interface of Live View, click Image Adjustment and show the parameters, or go to
Settings > Camera > Image > Image Adjustment and drag the slide bar of brightness.
Longer Time of Shutter
Camera shutter time means the cycle of the sensor calculating light input amount. Therefore,
the longer the shutter is, the brighter the image will be.
Notice: If the target object is moving fast, this method is not applicable.
Go to Settings > Camera > Image > Exposure, user can set Shutter Mode (Auto/ Manual) and
Shutter Lower Threshold or Shutter Level.
Increase Gain
Camera gain means photo-sensibility, the sensitivity level of a sensor to light. A high gain
requires less light exposure for low light condition.

HD IR Dome Camera User Manual
13
Notice: However, the higher the gain is, the more noise points there will be and the worse
the image will be. Auto mode is suggested.
Apply default values, or select “Auto” and set Gain Upper Threshold in Settings > Camera >
Image > Exposure. If selecting “Manual”, drag the slide bar to adjust gain level.
Enable WDR
WDR can provide optimal exposure when there is strong background light.
Go to Settings > Camera > Image > Image Enhancement, select “WDR”in the drop-down list
of Dynamic Adjustment and drag the slide bar of WDR Sensitivity.
Enable HLC
The HLC function can avoid unclear image caused by strong light interference.
Go to Settings > Camera > Image > Image Enhancement, select “HLC” in the drop-down list
of Dynamic Adjustment and drag the slide bar of HLC Level.
Enable Backlight
Backlight compensation can also provide optimal exposure when there is strong background
light, but it may cause whitening of the bright part of the image.
Go to Settings > Camera > Image > Image Enhancement, select “Backlight Auto/ Backlight
Manual” in the drop-down list of Dynamic Adjustment and drag the slide bar of Backlight
Sensitivity. When selecting “Backlight Manual”, user can set or select Backlight Area in the live

correct anti-flicker frequency (50Hz/ 60Hz/ Natural Light) in Settings > Camera > Image >
Exposure to solve the problem.
4.1.2.4 White Balance
The basic concept of white balance is “to restore white objects to be white regardless of the
color temperature of the light source”. It can compensate color cast in pictures taken in specific
light source.
Go to Settings > Camera > Image > White Balance, select white balance mode from the
drop-down list.
When selecting “Manual”, drag the slide bar of White Balance R (red) Gain and White Balance
B (blue).

(sufficient light source) and night (insufficient light source) conditions.
Go to Settings > Camera > Image > Night Cut, select night cut mode.
Day
Select Day from the dropdown list of Night Cut mode and disable IR lamp (only some models
