2. Network Interface( LAN ): 10/100M self-adapting Ethernet interface is used
to connect the camera with various network equipments, such as, switch,
router and hub. When it is connected to 10M network, the orange lamp is on.
When it is connected to 100M network, the green lamp is always on.
This interface can also employ Ethernet power supply (POE, optional) and allow the
transmission of power and data through Ethernet cable.

3. Reset Button (RESET) : When the camera fails to function during incorrect
operation or accidental failure (e.g. forget IP address or password), or it is used
in different scenes, press down the button for above 5s after a delay of 30s
from powering on to restore the camera to its factory default. The default
user’s name is “admin”, the default password is “admin” and the default IP
address is “192.168.1.88”.
4. Alarm Interface (COM, NO, IN, GND):Connect to alarm input and alarm
output. When the camera receives an alarm from alarm output or Web motion
detection, this interface can send a signal to alarm output to realize real-time
monitoring and overall protection while triggering a remote alarm. The
specific interfaces are presented in the following figure.

2 Installation and Network Configuration
2.1 Hardware Installation
Installation Notices:
(1) Read through the guide for installation prior to installation.
(2) Check whether any component is missing against the packing list, if yes,
please contact your supplier.
(3) Wire during power off. If the camera does not function normally during
operation, please cut off the power before check.
Do not connectcables when poweris on!
Notice: The wiring during power on may seriously damage the camera,
which will be disqualified from the guarantee.
DC12V/1A
(4) Use the power supply of DC12V and no lower than 1A for the camera or PoE
power supply (optional). Too high or low voltage, or AC power supply may
cause the abnormal operation of the camera.

Installation and Network Configuration
11
(5) Use the standard power cord when the power supply is too far away from the
camera, and consider the voltage drop caused by long distance.
(6) Read through the instructions for connecting terminal and wire strictly
according to interfaces. Any damage to the camera due to improper operation
will be disqualified from the guarantee.
(7) All the exposed parts of connecting terminal should not exceed 5mm, in order
to prevent any accidental contact from damaging the camera.
Uncovered cable should beless than 5mm
(8) Mount the relay equipment in the middle to avoid signal attenuation when the
straight communication distance from the camera to the incoming equipment
exceeds 80m.
Pleaseuserepeater when exceeding 80m
(9) When RS485 is employed, if the communication distance exceeds 100m, the
final equipment on the 485 bus must be connected to a 120Ωterminal
resistance in parallel.
(10) To install the cameras in outdoor places, please note that the protective covers
shall be installed and lightning protection measures shall be taken. In
particular, don’t contact the cameras in case of lightning.
