1. Overview
The Prime HDR IR Bullet IP Camera is a high-end surveillance solution with
compact and easy set-up design. Supporting up to 3M real-time video and Quad
Streams Codec (H.264 Baseline/ Main / High Profile + MJPEG), the camera
offers supreme image quality while keeping efficient bandwidth for storage
management. Also, the camera is equipped with HDR function and provides 2
shutter WDR images, which is suitable for scenarios under extreme light
contrast or environments with changing lighting.
Software features, such as Privacy masks and ROI windows, further extend the
range of camera application. The built-in IR LED module emits sufficient infrared
lights to light up the area under surveillance without the help of any additional
lighting devices. The cable management bracket not only saves the time on
installation but also keeps the cables from sabotage. Furthermore, with the
international IP66 rating and weather-proof design, the Prime HDR IR Bullet IP
Camera can also perform stably in harsh environments.

2. Camera Cabling
Before users connect cables, make sure that all cables and the power adaptor
are placed in dry and well-waterproofed environments, e.g. waterproof boxes.
The purpose is to prevent moisture accumulation inside the camera and
moisture penetration into cables, which might lead to camera breakdown.
Please refer to the following sections to complete camera connection.

2.2 Connect Power
For power connection, please use an AC 24V / DC 12V adaptor and connect it
to the 2-pin terminal block of the All-in-One cable and the power outlet.
Alternatively, users can power the camera by PoE if a Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE) switch is available. Please refer to the section below for
Ethernet cable connection.
NOTE: If PoE is used, make sure PSE is in use in the network.
2.3 Connect Ethernet Cable
To have the best transmission quality, cable length shall not exceed 100 meters.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector of the All-in-One
cable, and plug the other end of the cable to the network switch or PC.
NOTE: In some cases, Ethernet crossover cable might be needed when
connecting the camera directly to the PC.
Check the status of the link indicator and the activity indicator LEDs. If the LEDs
are unlit, please check the LAN connection.
Green Link Light indicates good network connection.
Orange Activity Light flashes for network activity indication.
2.4 Connect Alarm I/O
For alarm I/O connection, please connect alarm devices to the 5-pin terminal
block of the All-in-One cable.
NOTE: Do NOT connect external power supply to the alarm I/O
connector of the IP camera.

2.5 Waterproof Cable Connectors
Follow the steps below to waterproof the connectors of the All-in-One cable.
Step 1:
Connect the required devices to the
All-in-One cable and coat the joints with
silicone gel. There should be no gap
between the connectors and the cables.
For alarm I/O connector and power
connector, make sure the side with wires
attached is also sealed with silicone gel.
Step 2:
Seal the end of the rubber coating of the
All-in-One cable as indicated in the figure
on the right. Please use enough silicone
gel to fill in the hose and wrap around
each wires; otherwise, waterproof function
cannot be guaranteed.

3. Installation
Please read the instructions provided in this chapter thoroughly before installing
the camera.
3.1 Ceiling / Wall Mounting
The camera can be installed directly on a wall or ceiling with the integrated
2-axis adjustable Bracket Mount. Please note that the wall or ceiling must have
enough strength to support the camera.
Follow the steps below to install the camera.
Step 1:
Place the camera at the installation
location. On the ceiling / wall, mark the
position of the two screw holes of the
camera.
If the screw holes are blocked by the
camera body, loosen the three screws
shown in the right figures but do not
detach it. Then rotate the camera body to
reach the screw holes.

10
Step 2:
At the center of the two marked holes, drill a 30 mm diameter (radius as 15 mm)
cable entry hole. Then drill a hole slightly smaller than the supplied plastic
screw anchor on each marked screw hole.
Step 3:
Thread the All-in-One cable of the camera through the cable entry hole. Refer
to chapter Camera Cabling for cable connections.
Step 4:
Match the two screw holes of the camera with the plastic screw anchors at the
installation location. Insert the plastic screw anchors into the two drilled holes,
and then fasten the camera with the supplied M4x31 self-tapping screws.
Step 5:
Use a cross screwdriver to loosen the four
screws indicated in the right figures but do
not detach them. Rotate the camera and
point the camera to a desired direction.
Lastly, tighten the four screws to secure
the camera.
NOTE: When installing the
camera, users can adjust the
sunshield to their desired position.
However, it is recommended that
the sunshield not be moved
forward too much for affecting
camera sight.
