1General Introduction
1.1 Overview
This type of camera conforms to the HD-SDI specifications. It supports high speed video signal, which
means there is almost no delay in the transmission. The HD-SDI interface uses the coaxial cable to
transmit video signals and uses the BNC port as the cable standard.
The main benefit to this camera is its ability to record in 1080P HD definition, providing excellent quality
video imagery to monitor. It also uses DC 12V for a power supply and you can use an inbuilt OSD button
function to adjust internal camera settings.
1.2 Features

Use the inner hexagonal wrench (provided) to loosen the three inner hexagonal screws within the dome
cover and then open the cover. See Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1
STEP 2
Use the inner hexagonal wrench (provided) to loosen the three inner hexagonal screws in the dome and

STEP 3
Draw out the cable’s exit hole and four screw holes upon the installation position according to the device
pedestal. Drill the four plastic expansion bolt and the cable’s exit holes. Insert the four plastic expansion
bolts into the screw holes.
STEP 4
Adjust the camera pedestal to the correct position and then thread the cable through the cable exit, which
you have just drilled in the ceiling/wall. Line up the four screw holes, in the device pedestal, to the four
plastic expansion bolt holes in the installation position. Put the four self-tapping screws in the device
pedestal and then use the screwdriver to secure the screws in the four plastic expansion bolts firmly.
STEP 5
Adjust the device’s position and line up the three inner hexagon screws of the device to the three holes of
the installation’s position. Put the three inner hexagon screws into the screw holes at the bottom of the
pedestal. Use the inner hexagon screwdriver to fix firmly into place. Connect the ground cable to the GND
port to improve stability. See Figure 3-3.

STEP 6
Adjust the X/Y/Z axis of the module to turn the device to the desired monitoring angle. Please follow the
steps listed below to adjust camera correctly. See Figure 3-4.
Please note, for the dome of the IR light, you can skip step A. and step E.
A. Slightly push in the two sides so you can squeeze the plastic hook to take off the dome enclosure.
B. Manually loosen the screws slightly at the two sides of the X-Y-Z module. You can adjust the
module tilt rotation angle to somewhere between 15°～90°.

C. Slightly loosen the screw on the pressing slice. You can adjust the video rotation angle of the
module to somewhere between 0° ～355°.
D. Adjust the turning ring of the pedestal; you can adjust the module pan rotation angle to somewhere
between 0° ～355°.
E. Put the enclosure back on after you have completed the setup.

Please note, the screws in the following figure are found on the optical adjustment component.
Please make sure the optical adjustment component is facing outward to make sure it is not
touching the X-Y-Z axis module. See Figure 3-5.
Figure 3-5
STEP 7
Put the dome cover back and then put the three inner hexagon screws into the holes of the device. Use the
inner hexagonal wrench to fasten these three screws tightly. See Figure 3-6.

3.2 Lens Adjustment
STEP 1
Manually loosen the screw B slightly and then turn screw B slowly. Adjust the lens focus distance to the
desired position according to the monitor video. See
Figure 3-7.
STEP 2
Use a flat screwdriver to loosen screw A slightly and then turn it slowly. Adjust the lens focus to get obtain a
clear video image and then use the flat screwdriver to secure the screw firmly.
STEP 3
When you are adjusting screw A, the video may become blurry. Please manually adjust the screw B slightly
to achieve the best quality vivid video image. Finally fix the screw into place.
STEP4
Lay the aperture plate on the lens so that it is flat against it. Please note this step is for IR device only.

distance range.
IR-CUT does not turn to the night mode. The front end
photosensitive chip cannot sense the IR light.
I cannot upgrade
the device via
network.
When network upgrade operation has failed, you can use port 3800
to continue upgrade.
I cannot login to
the client-end or
the WEB online
service.
The Active X control is blocked.
The display card version needs to be DX8.1 or higher.

To guarantee
setup update once
you have
completed it
After you have modified setup, please reboot the device via the
software to make sure the setup has been updated to the storage
medium.
Power adapter
The general power adapter can only work reliably within the
temperature range of between 0℃to 40 ℃. If the power supply
is being operated outside this temperature range then this may
result in an unstable power supply being provided to the
camera.
Please replace with an industrial-grade power adapter if you
are using it in a harsh environment.
