WARNING and PRECAUTIONS
Please read the manual before attempting installation or operation !
Please be aware of the following:
1. Don't use any chemical detergent to clean the machine surface, use a damp cotton cloth only. Regularly clean the dome
cover to ensure more accurate focusing.
2. Please install the Network Dome Camera in a dry area; water and high humidity may cause damage on internal parts.
External housing should be used for outdoor installations.
3. Please use parts supplied by the manufacturer only, any unqualified part using in the equipment may violate the warranty.
4. Avoid installing the equipment in an unstable surface. Ensure that the equipment is attached to something that is fixed
solidly in place. Falling equipment may injure personnel and damage the equipment.
5. Do not install the equipment near any flammable materials as they may cause a fire or personal injury.
6. Avoid running video cable and signal cable through or passing interference sources such as video waves, broadcast
stations, power generators, elevator motors or high voltage areas, etc. as they may cause interference.
7. Ensure the power cable is properly attached. Improperly attached cables may cause a serious short circuit or fire.
8. Correct cable connection is important. Do not place any object on the connection cable and change the cable if there is
damage on cable. Violation may cause short circuit, fire and injury.
9. Make sure ground is well connected to avoid damage caused by lightning.
10. Do not put any foreign objects inside the equipment and do not spray any liquid on equipment. This will avoid short circuit
damage.
11. Do not touch power connection with wet hands to avoid short circuit or electricity shock.
12. Do not apply smash-force on the equipment. Violation may cause damage.
13. Do not install the equipment in a location that may expose the equipment directly to sunlight. Violation may cause color
fading or damage.
14. Do not install the equipment in high temperature or low temperature environment to avoid damage. The normal
operational temperature is between -5oC ~ +50oC.
15. The Network Dome Camera contains high sensitive electric parts inside. Do not try to repair them without qualified
personnel.
16. Turn off the power immediately and contact the technician when the following occurs:
A. Damage on power cable or plug.
B. Water leak into the equipment.
C. The Network Dome Camera can not be operated normally.
D. Equipment falling on ground or damage on external case.
E. Unusual occurrence.
17. Warning: Do not try to repair the equipment. Only a qualified technician may disassemble and repair the equipment. Shut
off the power before disassemble the equipment and don't put power on unless the case is completely assembled.

Introduction
What is Network Dome Camera?
The Network Dome Camera (“NDC” here and after) is an Internet-based digital Network Speed Dome Camera, it has
built in Pan/Tilt/Zoom and CCD module to distribute the compressed live video into Intranet/Internet through Ethernet
connection.
NDC can move (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) the view point to get the best monitoring angle easily via standard browser such as
Internet ExplorerTM or NetscapeTM.
NDC is self-contained Web Server. Users could access the Network Dome Camera just like browsing website over
Internet using standard browser such as Internet ExplorerTM or NetscapeTM , and do all the management, configuration,
and monitoring easily.
NDC contains an MPEG-4 image compression chipset capable of delivering streaming, constant or variable bit rate
MPEG-4 video over the network in real-time.

1.3 DIP Switch Setting
Fan Power Switch
Turn the number 2 switch to ON position to activate the internal fan. This will maintain the temperature inside and
make electric parts life.
Alarm Mode Switch
Alarm Mode can be set as Lock or Release mode. Turn number 1 switch to ON position to choose Release mode.
Turn number 1 switch to OFF position to choose Lock mode. The NDC has 6 alarm inputs and 1 output, which
can be set either NC (normally close) or NO (normally open) mode. Turn number 2 switch to NO position to
choose NC mode. Turn number 2 switch to OFF position to choose NO mode.
Camera Function Switch
For P463, P463DW (25X optical lens model) and P463T, please refer to “6. Advanced Settings for P463”, “7.
Advanced Settings for P463DW” and “8. Advance Settings for P463T” for details.

2 Installation
2.1 Installation Preview
There are 3 mains steps required to perform a successful installation:
 Hardware installation
 Software installation
 Network configuration
Hardware installation consists of connecting cables to the NDC including network, video, and power cables.
Software installation consists of the installation of software that is necessary to properly view the video from the NDC
or to configure the NDC itself. The software includes:
 IP Installer -- a utility for locating devices and configuring network settings on a LAN.
 Component Installer -- installs all ActiveX components used by the device for things such as video display and
configuration.
 Macromedia Flash Player -- necessary for displaying some components of the Web UI.
The following are not necessary, but may be used for convenience:
 Recording Software -- displaying and recording up to 16 channels simultaneously. Both the MPEG-4 and MJPEG
devices are supported.
 Xvid -- a MPEG-4 codec. If no other MPEG-4 codecs (ie. DivX, 3ivX, ffdshow, etc.) are installed on your computer,
the Component installer will install this for you.
 QuickTime or VLC -- though not necessary, this can be used for viewing the MPEG-4 stream without a Web
browser.
Network configuration consists of modifying the network settings for the NDC in order to successfully connect to the
device.
