Exceptional Image Quality
Together with powerful image processing attributes like Wide Dynamic Range and Dimension
Noise Reduction technology, the ICA-5150 is able to filter the intense backlight surrounding a
subject and remove noises from video signal. The result is that an extremely clear and
exquisite picture quality can be produced even under any challenging lighting conditions.
Flexible Installation and Power Functionality
The ICA-5150 incorporates IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet technology and can be
powered from a PoE Switch via the network, which eliminates the need for power cables and
reduces installation costs. The ICA-5150 is ONVIF-compliant and therefore interoperable with
other brands in the market, greatly supporting users to integrate with their existing surveillance
network. In addition, the ICA-5150 includes 64-CH central management software for efficient
monitoring. The ICA-5150 is indisputably the top choice for reliable and high performance
surveillance.

2.1 Physical Descriptions
2.1.1 Identification of ICA-5150 physical details
Interface Description
Lens User could adjust the angle of the lens manually.
Micro-SD User can insert a micro SD card into this slot for event recording.
Factory Default Reset
This button is used to restore all the factory default settings.
Sometimes restarting the device will make the system back to a
normal state. However, if the system still got problems after
restart, user can restore the factory default settings and configure
it again.
Steps:
1.Turn off the Camera first.
2. Press and hold this button continuously.
3. Power on this camera.
4. Wait until orange LED is on. Once the Camera begins to
operate again, the device has been restored to default settings.
Note: After resetting to default, please login the camera using the
default IP (http://192.168.0.20), and username (admin) and

Ultra-miniHDVandalDomeIPCamera

password (admin).
Restoring the factory default setting will lose all the
previous settings including IP address. User needs to run
the IPWizard II program to search the device and configure
it to let the device work properly again.
2.1.2 I/O Control Instruction
Descriptions for I/O cable set:
Interface Description
DC Power Jack
The input power is 12V DC.
Use the power adapter included in the package for
the camera. Otherwise, an improper power
adapter may damage the unit and result in danger.
Ethernet
The LAN socket is an RJ-45 connector for connection to
10Base-T Ethernet or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling.
This Ethernet port in the N-Way protocol can detect or
negotiate the transmission speed of the network
automatically. Please use Category 5 cable to connect the
Network Camera to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network switch
or hub.
2.2 Hardware Installation
2.2.1 Connector board
1. Please select the most suitable position on the ceiling to install this camera.
2. Use the provided L-wrench, loosen the tamper-resistant housing cover (with screws
still attached on the cover). The unit has a factory installed side conduit entry and one
may adjust the cables to back conduit entry according to installation requirement.

3. Set the mounting base onto the wall or ceiling and center it over the mounting hole, using the
supplied two retaining screws to secure the main body.
4. To adjust lens, move the camera body by pan and/or tilt manually and set the focus by
turning the lens.
5. Connect the LAN cable to Ethernet’s switch with PoE function.
6. Once you have installed the camera well and powered it on, the Power LED (orange)
will turn on later. The Power LED is turned on, meaning the system is booting up
successfully. Furthermore, if you have a proper network connection, and access to the
camera, the LAN LED (green) will flash.
7. When the camera cabling is completed, close the top cover dome housing and
secure it by two screws.

8. Done
2.2.2. Network Installation
1. Connect an Ethernet cable
Connect the LAN cable on the camera to the network device (hub or switch).
If there is an IEEE 802.3af PoE switch in your network, you can connect the camera
LAN cable to this PoE switch to obtain power. The power adapter is unnecessary when
Internet camera is connected to a PoE switch.
2. Attach the power supply
Plug in power adapter and connect to power source. After power on, the camera will start to
operate.
1. Only use the power adapter supplied with Internet camera;otherwise, the product
may be damaged.
2. The power adapter is unnecessary when Internet camera is connected to a PoE
switch. Otherwise, the product may be damaged when Internet camera is
connected to a PoE switch and power adapter simultaneously.
3. PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that integrates power into a standard LAN
infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to the network device, such as an IP phone or
a network camera, using the same cable as that used for network connection. It eliminates
the need for power outlets at the camera locations and enables easier application of
uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to ensure 24 hours a day, 7 days a week operation.
