1. Description
The SN663V network camera is an outdoor PTZ camera dome that includes a 1080p high
resolution camera lens combination that provides video transmission over a network. It is fully
featured for security surveillance and remote monitoring needs.
The network camera supports H.264 compression technology as well as M-JPEG compression. By
using its dedicated program, multiple users are able to have access to the network camera
simultaneously or a single user can monitor various network cameras at the same time. It also
enables users to play, store and retrieve a monitoring image by using a PC. All the settings and
real-time monitoring screens are provided through access to the web.
1.1 Components
The camera is designed to be a compact small size with a hard dome camera housing constructed
of aluminum, steel and plastic. The housing is designed to be mounted on a wall or a ceiling. The
housing meets the Protection Classification IP66 standards for dust and moisture resistance.

1.2 Key Features
•Brilliant Video Quality
The network camera offers the highly efficient H.264 video compression, which drastically
reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. Motion
JPEG is also supported for increased flexibility.
•Triple Streams
The network camera can deliver triple video streams simultaneously at full frame rate in all
resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 using Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) and H.264. This means that
several video streams can be configured with different compression formats, resolutions and
frame rates for different needs.
•Image Setting Adjustment
The network camera enables users to adjust image settings such as contrast, brightness and
saturation to improve images before encoding takes place.
•Intelligent Video Capabilities
The network camera includes intelligent capabilities such as enhanced video motion detection.
The network camera’s external inputs and outputs can be connected to devices such as
sensors and relays, enabling the system to react to alarms and activate lights or open/close
doors.
•Improved Security
The network camera logs all user access and lists currently connected users. Also, its full
frame rate video can be provided over HTTPS.
•PoE (Power over Ethernet)
This network camera can be powered through PoE, which simplifies installation, since only
one cable is needed for carrying power as well as video controls.
•ONVIF Certificate
ONVIF is a global interface standard that makes it easier for end users, integrators,
consultants, and manufacturers to take advantage of the possibilities offered by network video
technology. ONVIF enables interoperability between different vendors’ products, providing
increased flexibility, reduced cost, and future-proof systems.

2. Installation
2.1 Installation Details
The dome camera is for use in surface or pendant mounting applications; the mounting location
and material must be capable of supporting loads of up to 4.4 lb (2.0 kg). (Pendent mounting must
use pendent mount accessory.)
The dome camera’s mounting bracket should be attached to a structural object, such as hard wood,
wall stud or ceiling rafter that supports the weight of the dome camera.
CAUTION: A silicone rubber sealant (customer provided) must be applied to seal the
housing to secure waterproofing.
2.1.1 Locking Dome Camera
A. Make screw holes on the ceiling using the supplied mounting Template Sheet (Figure A).
B. Secure the provided Mounting Bracket to the ceiling using supplied Anchors (4x) and
Mounting Screws (4x) (Figure B).
C. Attach the Safety Lanyard to the Safety Lanyard Hook of the Mounting Bracket (Figure C).
D. Align the locking tab on the bracket and the locking slot on the base of the dome (Figure D).
E. Turn the dome counterclockwise approximately 10 degree to the locked position (Figure E).

6
CAUTION: Before installing the mounting bracket to surface, pre-adjust the four mounting
screws "A" on the base of the dome camera to best match the mounting
bracket locked position. Unscrew the locking screw on the side of the dome's
base and fit the tab of the mounting bracket into the locking slot. Screws "A"
should not be too tight or too loose when the dome is in the locked position.
After setting the proper positions of screws "A," remove the mounting bracket
and install it to the mounting surface. If it is too difficult to lock the dome in
position after the mounting bracket has been installed readjust the screws "A"
by unscrewing them a small amount and try to install dome camera again.

2.3 Connections
•Connecting the Network
Connect a standard RJ-45 cable to the network port of the camera. Generally a cross-over
cable is used for direct connection to a PC, while a direct cable is used for connection to a hub.
•Connecting Alarms
- AI (Alarm Input)
You can use external devices to signal the camera to react upon events. Mechanical or
electrical switches can be wired to the AI (Alarm Input) and G (Ground) connectors.
- G (Ground)
NOTE: All the connectors marked G or GND are common.
Connect the ground side of the alarm input and/or alarm output to the G (Ground) connector.
- AO (Alarm Output)
The camera can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights. Connect the device to
the AO (Alarm Output) and G (Ground) connectors.
•Connecting to the RS485
The camera can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system, such as a
control keyboard, using RS485 half-duplex serial communications signals.
•Connecting the Power
Connect power of 12 VDC or 24 VAC 1.5 A for the camera.
When using a 12 VDC adapter, connect the positive (+) pole to the ‘+’ position and
the negative (-) pole to the ‘-’ position.
Use satisfy clause 2.5 of IEC60950-1/UL60950-1 or Certified/Listed Class 2 power source only.
- Be careful not to reverse the polarity when connecting the power cable.
- A router featuring PoE (Power over Ethernet) can be used to supply power to the camera.
- If PoE and 12 VDC are both applied, this camera will be supplied with power from PoE.
- 24 VAC is recommended to use for the camera power for stable operation with heater kit.
If using PoE, the heater will not operate at all.

2.4 Network Connection & IP assignment
The network camera is designed for use on an Ethernet network and requires an IP address for
access. Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to
connected devices. By the factory default, your camera is set to obtain the IP address
automatically via DHCP server. If your network does not have a DHCP server the network camera
will use 192.168.1.100 as the default IP address.
If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run the “SmartManager” utility on the CD
to search and allocate an IP address, or reset the product to the factory default settings and then
perform the installation again.
1) Connect the network camera/device to the network and power up.
2) Start SmartManager utility (Start > All programs > SmartManager > SmartManager). The main
window will display, and after a short while any network devices connected to the network will
be displayed in the list.
3) Select the camera on the list and click right button of the mouse. The pop-up menu displays
as below.
4) Select Assign IP Address. The Assign IP window will display. Enter the required IP address.
NOTE: For more information, refer to the SmartManager User’s Manual.
