1 Introduction
The SN688D network camera is designed for performance in the most demanding security
installations. The 4K/8 MP camera has an integral 30X optical zoom lens and integrated IR LEDs.
The camera provides quad-streaming video and supports H.265/H.264 compression technology,
drastically reducing file sizes and conserving valuable network bandwidth; M-JPEG compression is
also supported. 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.

1.2 Key Features
• Brilliant video quality
The network camera offers the highly efficient H.264/H.265 video compression, which drastically
reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. Motion JPEG
is also supported for increased flexibility.
• Quad Streams
The network camera can deliver quad video streams simultaneously using H.264/H.265 and
Motion JPEG. This means that several video streams can be configured with different
compression formats, resolutions and frame rates for different needs.
• 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.
• ONVIF Certificate
This 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 vendor products, increased flexibility, reduced
cost, and future-proof systems.
• Micro-SD Recording support
The network camera also supports a Micro-SD memory slot for local recording with removable
storage of type SDHC and SDXC.
• Audio support
The network camera also supports two-way audio.
• Built-in Synchronized IR LED & Fixed IR LED
The camera is equipped with two built-in IR LEDs, fixed one for wide view and zoom
synchronized adjustable one for distant view.

2 Installation
2.1 Mounting the Camera
An optional mount kit, either a wall mount or the ceiling mount, it required for installation.
The wall or ceiling mount must be attached to a structural object such as hard wood, concrete that
will support the weight of the mount and dome camera.
The use of a solid backboard is recommended when attaching to gypsum walls.
1. Remove the Protection pad and the tape from attached the dome camera.
2. Attach the mounting base to wall using the supplied M8 tapping screw and plastic bushing. (For
ceiling mounting use the supplied M6 tapping screw and bushing.)
3. To seal tightly, wrap the thread of the pipe end with Teflon tape about 20 times for sealing. Then
use a silicone rubber sealant to seal the area where the wall (ceiling) mount and the pipe meet.
4. Place a bead of silicone sealant around the wall and ceiling mount mounting flange, press it to
the surface and line up the flange hole with drilled holes.
CAUTION 1: A silicone rubber sealant must be applied to seal the housing to secure
waterproofing.
CAUTION 2: When installing, a mounting bracket must be used.
CAUTION 3: Please reset the camera after 30 ~ 60 minutes when installing it in situations
colder than 14° F (-10°C).

5
2.1.1 Wall Mounting
The wall mounting plate must be attached to a structural object such as concrete that will support
the weight of the mount and dome camera.
1. Select a suitable mounting location and verify there is sufficient cable to reach the middle of
the Wall Mount.
2. Mark and drill mounting holes in the surface using the Wall Mount Flange as a template.
3. Secure the mounting plate to the wall using the hardware provided or appropriate for the
mounting surface.
4. Pull out cables required to connect to the dome camera from the wall or route cables through
a section of 0.75 in (19 mm) conduit pipe.
5. Remove the cable access plate from the underside of the wall mount bracket.
6. Attach wall mount bracket using plastic anchors and 8x35 screws; route cables through the
access plate hole.
7. Attach the 1.5 inch adapter to wall mount bracket and fix it using set screw.
8. Attach the camera’s safety wire to the wall mount’s latch.
9. Route cables on the dome through the wall mount bracket. Fix the housing to the wall mount
bracket using the locking nut and tighten the housing set screw with the supplied wrench.
10. Reattach the access plate.
11. Push in and turn the camera clockwise into the adapter and fix it using set screw of the
adapter.

6
2.1.2 Ceiling Mounting
The ceiling mounting plate must be attached to a structural object such as concrete that will support
the weight of the mount and dome camera.
1. Select a suitable mounting location
and verify there is sufficient cable
to connect with cables from the
housing.
2. Mark and drill mounting holes on
the surface using the ceiling mount
flange as a template.
3. Secure the mounting plate to the
wall using the hardware provided
or appropriate for the mounting
surface.
4. Pull out cables required to connect
to the dome camera from the
ceiling.
5. Attach the ceiling mount plater
using plastic anchors and screws;
route cables through the locking
nut.
6. Attach 1.5 inch adapter to the pipe
and fix it using set screw of the
adapter.
7. Route cables through the pipe.
Tighten the housing with the pipe
using the socket.
8. Attach safety wire to the ceiling
mount’s M6x35 tapping screw.
9. After connecting cables, fix the
pipe to the ceiling mount using the
locking nut.
10. Tighten set screws of the socket
and locking nut with the supplied
wrench.
