Physical Description
NOTE: The camera picture above is for reference only. Actual camera may slightly differ.
1) Ethernet Port
Connects to a network using an Ethernet cable.
2) Memory Card Slot
Insert a memory card (not included) into this slot for local recording purposes. See How to
Install / Remove the Memory Card on page 31 for more information.

3) Reset Button
The purpose of the reset button is to restore the factory default settings of the camera,
including the administrator’s password.
When to use the reset button?
1. The administrator’s password has been forgotten and therefore the camera cannot be
accessed.
2. In case of IP address, mask, or allow/deny filter related issues, resulting with inability to
modify these settings.
3. In case of connectivity issues or abnormal video quality.
How to do the reset?
Press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds.

4) Digital Input / Output (DI/DO) and Audio Input / Output
This connector connects to digital input or output devices, such as an alarm trigger, panic
button, etc., as well as audio input and output devices, such as microphones and speakers.
Digital Input (DI) and Digital Output (DO) devices are used in applications like motion
detection, event triggering, alarm notifications, etc. See Connecting DI/DO and Audio
Devices (Optional) on page 25 for more information.

Installing the Camera on a Surface
This section describes the procedures in installing the camera on a flat surface such as a hard or
dropped ceiling and straight or tilted walls. Before installation, make sure the wall or ceiling can
bear more than the weight of the camera.
Step 1: Drill the Holes
Before drilling the holes, note the direction of the connectors side of the camera, which is also the
opposite side of the camera logo. This influences the camera placement and where you should
drill the hole where the cables will pass through or how the cables will go along the ceiling or wall.
1. According to the preferred camera orientation, mark the screw holes location on the surface.
2. Determine how the cables will be routed: pass through the surface or along the surface.
If the cables will pass through the surface, drill the cable hole and the three (3)
screw holes on the surface.
If the cables will be routed along the surface, just drill the three (3) screw
holes on the surface.
3. Insert the plastic plugs into the screw holes, if necessary.

Step 2: Open the Dome Cover
NOTE: To avoid scratches or leaving fingerprints on the dome cover, it is recommended to retain
the plastic covering the dome cover until the camera is completely installed. However, the plastic
has been removed on the pictures in this documentation to show clarity of the procedures being
described.
1. If the cables will pass through the surface, remove the metal cap covering the bottom conduit
hole of the camera, and attach the cap to the side hole to close it. The cable(s) will be routed
to pass this hole from the surface.
2. Loosen the three (3) screws securing the dome cover.

Hardware Manual
13
3. Carefully lift to open the dome cover and place it on the side of the camera.
NOTE: Do not abruptly lift the dome cover; it is attached to the camera with a spring wire.
4. If necessary, insert a memory card with the metallic contacts facing down into the card slot of
the camera.

Step 3: Prepare for Waterproof Installation
The camera comes with two (2) glands used for waterproof installation:
Cable Gland: For use with an Exterior-grade Ethernet cable. Exterior-grade Ethernet
cables are already waterproof. See Waterproof Solution with Naked Cable on page
15.
Conduit Gland: For use with a flexible conduit. This solution is recommended when an
exterior-grade Ethernet cable is not available or when other cable connections, like audio
input, DC 12V power, etc. will be connected to the camera. See Waterproof Solution
with Conduit on page 17.
Determine the type of waterproof solution that is applicable to your installation requirements and
prepare the necessary accessories or purchase extra materials.

Waterproof Solution with Naked Cable
This section describes the procedures in using the bundled cable gland and an exterior-grade
Ethernet cable.
1. Disassemble the cable gland as shown below:
2. Insert the clamping nut into the Ethernet cable.
3. Insert the sealing insert with claw.

5. If the cable will be routed along the surface, skip this step.
If the cable will pass through the surface, do the following:
a. Pull the network cable through the bottom conduit hole.
b. Insert the sealing insert with claw into the cable gland body and then attach the clamping
nut to complete the cable solution.
NOTE: Make sure the clamping nut is tightly attached to the cable gland body and the sealing
insert is squeezed tightly.
6. Proceed with Step 4: Install the Camera to the Surface on page 21.

Waterproof Solution with Conduit
This section describes the procedures to waterproof the cabling connections using the bundled
conduit gland and flexible conduit. This is the recommended if other input/output devices or an
external power adapter will be connected to the camera or when an exterior-grade Ethernet cable
is not available.
1. Prepare the following materials for waterproof installation:
Conduit Gland
(included in the camera package)
Flexible Conduit
1/2" Trade size
(not included in the package)
Network Cable
CAT 5 or CAT 6
(not included in the package)
2. Disassemble the bundled conduit gland as shown below:
NOTE: In this installation, the conduit gland body can be securely attached to the mount kit;
therefore the use of lock nut is not necessary. Please set the lock nut aside.

Body
Sealing Insert
Clamping Nut

3. Pull the network cable through the flex conduit. If connecting other input/output devices or an
external power adapter, pull the cables through the flex conduit without connectors. The
terminal blocks will be attached once the cables pass through the camera hole later.
4. Insert the clamping nut through the flex conduit.
5. Insert the sealing insert and attach it at the end of the flex conduit.

7. If the cables will be routed along the surface, skip this step.
If the cables will pass through the surface, do the following:
a. Pull the network cable and other cables (if any) through the bottom conduit hole.
b. Insert the sealing nut into the conduit gland body and then attach the clamping nut to
complete the cable solution.
