Introduction
The Zip IP cameras are available in either ultra-clean looking Diamond white or a beautiful
gloss black finish. When surveyed, people preferred on the whole white cameras internally
and black cameras externally, so that's what we manufactured!
High resolution 4MP output using the latest H265 compression means you get stunning
images but minimise bandwidth and storage requirements.
Built in Smart-PoE means you can power the cameras directly from the Zip PoE NVR (or other
PoE devices) for a really easy and neat installation.
Video Analytical features built into the cameras include line crossing, missing object
detection and basic face detection. These features do work without the ZipNVR but to
get the maximum out of them you need the ZipNVR too so you can record and search
activations.
Plug and play with the ZipNVR, they couldn't be easier to fit.
“add more to your CCTV”.
Zip IP cameras are designed for installation by a professional CCTV installer, for
further support, please contact:

How To Connect A Camera’s Audio
The pro motorised lens Zip IP cameras feature audio in and out (IP-CAM530, 880 and 930).
The audio input allows you to install a microphone at the camera location. The audio is then sent with
the camera’s image back to the NVR for video and audio recording.
The audio out is a useful feature as it lets you talk-back to site. A microphone is connected to the NVR’s
Line In and the audio is sent to the selected camera, through the audio out phono to a connected
loudspeaker. You can even talk-back through the Zip remote software and mobile apps.
How To Enable Audio Recording
From the Main Menu go to Video > Encoding > Mainstream . Select a camera with a microphone
connected from the Camera drop down list, tick the Audio check-box and click Save .
