3. Hardware Installation
Connect the camera to your switch or router using the provided network cable.
Connect the AC adapter cable from the camera to a power outlet.
Note: DHCP sever and UDP port must be enabled on your router (which is default
setting on most router) to assign an IP address to the network camera. If needed,
please refer to your router's user manual on how to enable DHCP server and UDP.
IMPORTANT! - The PHYLINK Cube HD is not approved for outdoor use - the
product may only be installed in indoor environments.
Mount the camera
The supplied stand provides flexible installation solutions.
It makes the camera either wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted or placed on a desk.
Connect network cable and power
For some angles you may need to loosen main mounting ring by turning the
big flat screw on the back of the stand with a coin, so that the notch in the mounting
ring allows the pin to point in the desired direction. You can then tighten it again
with the coin.
Should any mounting position require the image to be rotated 180 degrees (inverted),
there is a setting for that in the "camera setup" menu.
