power source is rated 12V DC or 24V AC in the IEC60950-1. (Refer to general introduction) Please
note: Do not connect two power supplying sources to the device at the same time; it may result
in device damage!
We assume no liability or responsibility for all the fires or electrical shock caused by improper handling
or installation.
We are not liable for any problems caused by unauthorized modification or attempted repair.
2．Transportation security
Heavy stress, violent vibration or water splash are not allowed during transportation, storage and
installation.
3．Installation
Do not apply power to the camera before completing installation.
Please install the proper power cut-off device during the installation connection.
Always follow the instruction guide the manufacturer recommended.
4．Qualified engineers needed
All the examination and repair work should be done by the qualified service engineers.
We are not liable for any problems caused by unauthorized modifications or attempted repair.
5．Environment
This series network camera should be installed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight,
inflammable, explosive substances and etc.
Please keep it away from the electromagnetic radiation object and environment.
Please make sure the CCD (CMOS) component is out of the radiation of the laser beam device.
Otherwise it may result in CCD (CMOS) optical component damage.
Please keep the sound ventilation.
Do not allow the water and other liquid falling into the camera.
Thunder-proof device is recommended to be adopted to better prevent thunder.
The grounding studs of the product are recommended to be grounded to further enhance the reliability
of the camera.
6. Daily Maintenance
Please shut down the device and then unplug the power cable before you begin daily maintenance
work.

iv
Do not touch the CCD (CMOS) optic component. You can use the blower to clean the dust on the lens
surface.
Always use the dry soft cloth to clean the device. If there is too much dust, please use the water to
dilute the mild detergent first and then use it to clean the device. Finally use the dry cloth to clean the
device.
Please put the dustproof cap to protect the CCD (CMOS) component when you do not use the camera.
Dome enclosure is the optical component, do not touch the enclosure when you are installing the
device or clean the enclosure when you are doing maintenance work. Please use professional optical
clean method to clean the enclosure. Improper enclosure clean method (such as use cloth) may result
in poor IR effect of camera with IR function.
7. Accessories
Be sure to use all the accessories recommended by manufacturer.
Before installation, please open the package and check all the components are included.
Contact your local retailer ASAP if something is broken in your package.

1 General Introduction
1.1 Overview
This series network camera integrates the traditional camera and network video technology. It adopts
audio and video data collection, transmission together. It can connect to the network directly without
any auxiliary device.
This series network camera product uses standard H.264 video compression technology and G.711a
audio compression technology, which maximally guarantee the audio and video quality.
It supports the IR night vision function. In the night environments, the device can use the IR light to
highlight the object which is suitable for the surveillance function in the low illumination environments.
The built-in protection enclosure and waterproof design conforms to the IP 66 level. It has the sound
waterproof function suitable for use in the outdoor environments.
It supports real-time monitor and listening at the same time. It supports analog video output and dual-
way bidirectional talk.
It can be used alone or used in a network area. When it is used lonely, you can connect it to the
network and then use a network client-end. Due to its multiple functions and various uses, this series
network camera is widely used in many environments such office, bank, road monitor and etc.

2.3 Bidirectional talk
2.3.1 Device-end to PC-end
Device Connection
Please connect the speaker or the MIC to the audio input port of the device. Then connect the
earphone to the audio output port of the PC.
Login the Web and then click the Audio button to enable the bidirectional talk function.
You can see the button becomes orange after you enabled the audio talk function.
Click Audio button again to stop the bidirectional talk function.
Listening Operation
At the device end, speak via the speaker or the pickup, and then you can get the audio from the
earphone or sound box at the pc-end.
2.3.2 PC-end to the Device-end
Device Connection
Connect the speaker or the MIC to the audio input port of the PC and then connect the earphone to
the audio output port of the device.

Login the Web and then click the Audio button to enable the bidirectional talk function.
You can see the button becomes orange after you enabled the audio talk function.
Click Audio button again to stop the bidirectional talk function.
Please note the listening operation is null during the bidirectional talk process.
Listening Operation
At the PC-end, speak via the speaker or the pickup, and then you can get the audio from the earphone
or sound box at the device-end.
2.4 Alarm Setup
The alarm interface is shown as in Figure 2-5. Please follow the steps listed below for local alarm input
and output connection.
1) Connect the alarm input device to the alarm input port (No.3 pin or No.4 pin) of the I/O cable.
2) Connect the alarm output device to the alarm output port (No.2 pin) and alarm output public port
(No.1 pin). The alarm output port supports NO (normal open) alarm device only.
3) Open the Web, go to the Figure 2-5. Please set the alarm input 01 port for the first channel of the
I/O cable (No.3 pin). The alarm input 02 is for the 2nd channel of I/O cable (No.4 pin). Then you can
select the corresponding type (NO/NC.)
4) Set the WEB alarm output. The alarm output 01 is for the alarm output port of the device. It is the
No.2 pin of the I/O cable.
Figure 2-5 Alarm
Please refer to the following figure for alarm input information. See Figure 2-6.
Alarm input: When the input signal is idle or grounded, the device can collect the different statuses of
the alarm input port. When the input signal is connected to the 5V or is idle, the device collects the
logic “1”. When the input signal is grounded, the device collects the logic “0”.
