connectivity allows your client to use the Luma Surveillance mobile
app to check on the camera from anywhere.

the assembly parts are included. Also ensure that your recorder has
the very latest firmware. Use OvrC to update the firmware, or consult
your NVR manual.
}Make sure that all equipment is powered off during installation.
}Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to hold three times
the weight of the camera and the mount.
}If the mounting surface is cement, use the included expansion
screws to install the camera. If mounting to a wood surface, use
self-tapping wood screws (not included) to secure the camera.

Weatherproofing the PoE Cable
1. Before terminating the RJ45 cable , slide it through the lock nut ,
the thick rubber gasket , and the weatherproof endcap as shown.
Be sure the notched side of the rubber gasket faces toward the
endcap, as shown in the diagram to the left.
2. Terminate the RJ45 cable with a network plug .
3. Place the O-ring onto the end of the camera’s network interface
socket with the flat side toward the camera. Push it past the
locking teeth as far as it easily goes.
4. Connect the RJ45 plug to the camera’s network socket .
5. Align the teeth on the weatherproof endcap with the gaps on the
camera’s network interface socket , then insert the socket into the
endcap. Twist until they click into position (the O-ring gives you
a little flexibility while still weatherproofing the connection).
6. Slide the thick rubber gasket into the weatherproof endcap ,
and secure it by screwing the lock nut tightly onto the endcap .
Prepare for Installation
1. Drill pilot holes for your screws in the mounting surface, using the
supplied template.
2. CAUTION! Before terminating your RJ45 for an outdoor install, you
must weatherproof it! See the next page for details.
3. Attach power to the camera.
}If using PoE, attach the RJ45 cable to the connector.
}If using 12V DC, locate the red and black wire bundle. Attach the
hot line to the red wire, and the ground to the black wire.
4. Attach the base of the camera to the mounting surface and secure it.

Set the IP Address
If you need to change the network settings
at a later date, consult the camera’s web
interface manual.
At the top of the right column of the Luma
Utility, make a note of the IP address;
you’ll need it in the next step.
Deselect the Enable DHCP box to make
the IP address static.
Discover the Camera
If you plugged your camera into an NVR, do not continue using this
guide! Complete the setup using the manual provided with your NVR.
Visit any NVR’s product page at SnapAV.com and download the Luma
Utility installer. Once it has downloaded, double-click on the Luma
Utility icon to run the installer. You can accept the defaults.
Double-click the Luma Utility icon to run the
program.
The utility searches the local network for all Luma
Surveillance devices. If your camera does not
appear, ensure that the network connections are
secure and that the camera is powered up, then
click the button.
Click on the entry for your camera to view its details. Double-clicking
on the camera opens its web interface. Note that Chrome is not a
supported browser for the web interface.

Start the Web Interface
Open your browser, type the IP address of the camera into the address
bar, and hit Return.
Below the login area, you may see: “Please click
here to download and install the plug-in. Close the
browser when installing the plug-in.” If so, download
the plug-in and close all browser windows.
Install the LumaWebComponents plug-in, restart
your browser and go to your camera’s login window.
Enter admin for both the user name and password.
You might get a pop-up message that asks whether you want to run the
Luma Web Components plug-in. You must allow the plug-in to access
your system over the web.
Be sure to save your camera’s web page as a favorite in your browser.
Change the Port Numbers
The HTTP port defaults to 80. This port enables you to access your
camera through a web browser.
The server port defaults to 8000. This port enables the Luma
Surveillance mobile app to access your system.
For security reasons, we suggest you change your ports and make a
note of the new port numbers for your records. Consult your server or
router manual for common and reserved port numbers to avoid.
To confirm changes, enter the password admin and then click Save.

Adjust the Camera
This camera’s mount arm can rotate 360° around the mounting base. It
has an elbow joint that allows the camera to be angled. In addition, the
camera can rotate 360° within the elbow joint.
1. Loosen the locking nut at the mounting base until the mount arm
can rotate.
2. Aim the camera in the direction desired, ensuring that it remains
upright with the sunshade on top.
3. While holding the camera with one hand, tighten the locking nut to
secure the camera in position.
Check the Camera
After logging in, your screen shows the live page, similar to the
illustration below. If it does not appear, check the connection to your
NVR or network, and ensure that the camera is powered up. Click the

Example: If you choose the domain myhome (as shown), your system’s
URL would be myhome.WirepathDDNS.com. If someone already had
claimed the myhome URL, then your system’s URL would be something
like myhome13.WirepathDDNS.com.
If you do not like these
digits, try another domain
or server address.
Click Save to finalize the
settings here.
Set Up Dynamic DNS
DDNS allows you to connect to your surveillance
system from anywhere, via the Internet, using a
web address that’s easy to remember.
Click on Basic Network Settings > DDNS.
Click the box labeled Enable DDNS, then
choose a type from the DDNS Type drop-
down menu. We recommend WirepathDDNS.
Next, choose a server address. We recommend
ns2.wirepathdns.com.
Enter your desired domain in the Domain box.
This creates a personalized server address,
which is shown under Device URL.
If someone has already registered your desired
domain, the system adds a unique ID (typically
two to four digits) to your domain.

Change the Admin Password
Click on User Management.
Click on the admin account, then click Modify.
Passwords cannot be longer than 16 characters.
If you are using an NVR, to ensure compatibility
with the NVR’s local interface, passwords can
only contain numbers, letters, spaces, and the
following special characters: . , : - /
Use a password that is long and easy to remember.
A password like parisinthespring is much more
secure and easier to remember than a password
like D3x^7b.
Set Up Port Forwarding
Port forwarding is typically found under the Applications & Gaming
section of your router. Refer to your router’s user manual for full details.
To complete port forwarding, you will need:
}the IP address of the camera, and
}the server and HTTP port.
You set these values on page 13.
Once you’ve finished, pointing your browser to your device’s URL
(example: MyHome.WirepathDDNS.com) gets you to the login page of
your camera, no matter where you are. If you changed your HTTP port
from the default location (80), add a colon and the new port number to
the URL (e.g., MyHome.WirepathDDNS:8042).

Calibrate the Camera’s Clock
Click on System Settings > Time Settings.
Synchronize the Time
At the top, choose your time zone.
By default, the system uses network time protocol (NTP) to synchronize
your system to Coordinated Universal Time. We strongly recommend
using NTP to keep your system well calibrated.
If you want to use manual time sync, or if your system is isolated from
the Internet, see the camera web interface manual (available online).
Disable DST if Necessary
If you are in a location that does not observe daylight saving time, click
the Enable DST checkbox to deselect it.
Click Save to confirm changes.
Add Additional Users
Click on User Management.
Click the Add button. Enter the new account’s user name and
password. Account names can be up to 32 characters long. If you are
using an NVR, to ensure compatibility with the NVR’s local interface,
user names should contain numbers and letters only.
We recommend that you add accounts by individual users’ names, so
that you always know which user is involved with any activity.
Passwords cannot be longer than 16 characters. To ensure compatibility
with the NVR’s local interface, passwords can only contain numbers,
letters, spaces, and the following special characters: . , : - /
Choose the account’s level. There are two levels for users: operator and
user. The only difference is the default permissions they are given.
You can customize permissions for each account individually. See
the camera web interface manual (available online on your camera’s
product page) for more details.
