Do not allow the water and other liquid to penetrate into the device if casing has been
compromised. This series product complies with the IP66 standard specified in the Degrees of
Protection Provided by Enclosure.
Ensure lightning surge protection is in place to make sure you fully protect camera circuitry from
electrical overload.

iv
Please make sure the CCD (CMOS) component is away from the radiation of the laser beam
device. Otherwise it may result in CCD (CMOS) optical component damage.
It is recommended that the grounding studs of the product should be grounded, so to further
enhance the reliability of the camera.

1General Introduction
1.1 Overview
This network camera integrates traditional camera and network video technology. It adopts both audio and
video data collection and transmission simultaneously. Because of inbuilt internal hardware it can connect
to a network directly without any auxiliary device. When you want to access the camera, you can use a web
browser running off the network at the client-end. Due to its multiple functions it allows for various use in
many environments such office, bank, road & traffic monitoring, etc.
The latest chipset technology incorporated within the camera design requires low amounts of power to
obtain the best video image clarity. Energy efficiency is a key element to this product, but at the same time
it does not compromise on performance.
This series network camera product uses the latest industry standard H.264 video and G.711a audio
compression technology, which guarantee the best audio and video quality whilst reducing file sizes.
One of the other main features this camera includes is the IR night vision, which aids in video surveillance
when the camera is functioning within a low illumination environment. The LED IRs highlight objects of
interest within the camera’s field of view and is then able to filter out any visual interference so that you can
easily view footage upon a monitor. It supports real-time monitor and listening at the same time via the
inbuilt microphone. If you want to communicate with a person(s) in view of the camera it also supports dual-
way bidirectional talk.
The built-in protection enclosure and waterproof design conforms to the IP 66 level. It has sound waterproof
function suitable for use in the outdoor environments.

3Device Installation
3.1 Installation Steps
Important:
Before the installation, please make sure the installation environments can support at least 3x
weight of the camera.
Please follow the steps listed below to install the device. Please refer to Figure 3-1 for reference.
Step 1: Turn clockwise to remove the decoration ring from the snap joints.
Step 2: Please take out the installation position map from the accessories bag, and then paste it on the
ceiling or the wall according to your monitor area requirements. Draw and then dig three plastic expansion
bolts holes in the installation surface and then insert three expansion bolts in the holes. Secure these three
bolts firmly. Please draw the cable out from the cable exit when you install the device.
Step 3: Adjust the device installation pedestal to the proper position and then line up the three screw holes
in the device pedestal to the three plastic expansion bolt holes in the installation position. Put the three self-
tapping screws in the three plastic expansion bolts firmly. Loosen the M3X8 cross recessed pan head slot
screw of the pedestal to unfasten the preforming. (Do not remove, loosen a little bit will be OK.). Adjust the
lens to the proper monitor angle and then use the original preforming to turn the M3X8 cross recessed pan
head slot screw back.
Step4:
Line up the three spigots of the decoration ring to the jags from the bottom to the top and then turn
clockwise until you hear a clear sound ”KA”. Now the installation is complete.
