• Make sure not to connect the power before you install the camera.
• There is great chance of damaging your camera if the camera is opened by an unqualified
service engineer or installer.
• Avoid using the camera under direct sunlight (tropical area, Middle East), or near to any
source of heat.
• Don’t merge the camera under water; always put silicon gel on antenna connector after
installation to avoid corrosion and reducing the wireless link capability.
• Avoid exposing the camera to violent movement or vibration.
• Always use the camera in a well ventilated location to prevent overheating.
• Connect proper “Relay” between load and camera, to protect camera, don’t connect load
greater than 0.5A.
• Please use power adapter equipped with the camera, foreign power adapter with wrong
voltage may permanent damage your camera.
• Wireless link distance is depend on both camera (C1212HW) and Access Point,
unbalanced transmit power won’t help extend the wireless link range.
• Clean the glass window frequently to ensure good clear view, remove the snow and ice
accumulated outside and inside of class window shield, keep camera inside dry by blow
dryer.
• Must use PSE come with C1212HW-POE

Chapter 5 INSTALLATION
5.1 CONNECT to PC or LAN
CAUTION:
Please use the DC power adapter that is provided with the camera.
Connecting camera to other power source will cause permanent damage
to the camera.
NOTE:
Please use straight Ethernet cable (CAT. 5e) to connect camera to your home/ office
network switch/ hub or a broadband router.
For Wi-Fi models, you will still need to connect camera to your PC by Ethernet cable at
first time installation, correct SSID, WEP/ WPA password & IP address must be set
before you can connect the camera wirelessly (See more in section 6.8 Network
Settings).
You will see two IP address by camera search software utility, if you didn’t remove the
Ethernet cable before the camera wireless connection.

Click “Search Camera” on Utility CD auto-play menu*, will find all the Clairvoyant 1212H(W) IP
cameras in your local network.
* To use SearchNVS software to search and modify network parameters (IP address, Subnet
mask, Gateway etc.).
NOTE:
A: Find the SearchNVS.exe in 【tool software】folder of Utility CD and copy it to PC.
B: Install the Central Management software first, follow below steps to find the SearchNVS:
【Start】---【all programs】--- 【NVS Center500】---【Search NVS】.
The factory default settings of the IP Camera are as follows
IP:192.168.55.160; Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
User name: admin; Password: admin
Run the SearchNVS software to search and modify IP Camera network parameters.
SearchNVS use multicast protocol to find C1212H(W) IP cameras, most firewalls forbid the
multicast data packets. So please close the firewall first or enable/ allow SearchNVS to use
multicast protocol.
Click on【Search】button to start search IP Cameras as illustrated below:
【Local IP 】Display the local PC IP. If your PC has multiple NICs or multi-addressed local IP,
please select an IP address to connect NVS.
In the above Search NVS software interface, it shows this computer has searched all IP
Cameras in LAN. If there are many IP cameras in your LAN, you can distinguish which
camera is yours by the Device Name based on the unique device ID. The Device Name
was named in the factory as “DVS+ID number”.
Set IP address for IP camera.
Your computer IP must be in the same subnet of IP Camera in order to visit IP camera.
So we need to set the IP address of the IP camera before accessing camera.
To get your PC IP configuration information: go to command mode by click 【Start】---
【Run】”, then input “command” or “cmd”(Windows 2000/XP system).click “ok”, then input
“ ipconfig” and press “Enter” button, you will get following information:

Type “ipconfig” at command prompt, ”, press “Enter” button, you will get following
information.
Please remember the IP Address，Subnet Mask, Default Gateway，then setup the IP
Camera IP address according to your PC IP address.
For example :192.168.1.100. Please make sure the Default Gateway and Subnet Mask
must be same.

Click 【Set】to set “Network Parameter”as illustrated below:
Modify relative Network Parameters; click “OK”, then the IP camera will reboot.
Test the IP camera connection: go to command mode by click 【Start】---【Run】”, then
input “command” or “cmd” (Windows 2000/XP system).click “ok”,
Type “ping 192.168.1.100” at command prompt,press “Enter” button, you will get following
information:
The message shown on above indicates the IP Camera is functioning normally and connects to
same subnet (LAN) correctly. If the screen displays other information, please confirm the IP
address settings and check the network cables again.
