1.5 Connecting Terminal
1. Power Interface: Used for connecting the power adapter. The voltage of series products is 24V AC and the current is
not lower than 2A. Other power is not allowed, in order to avoid damage of the cameras.
2. Network Interface: 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 also on. When
it is connected to 100M network, the green lamp is always on.
3. Reset Button: 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: 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.

6. Audio Input Interface: connect to external audio acquisition (e.g. MIC) for sound acquisition.
7. Audio Output Interface: connect to audio player (e.g. active speaker) for sound broadcasting.
8. Analog Video Output Interface: special for SD camera and engineering commissioning. After being installed and
connected, this interface can be used locally to connect with the image display device and adjust the camera angle to
the appropriate monitoring area according to the scene in the video.
1.6 Basic Procedure
1. Unpack and check whether any component is missing.
2. Connect the camera to computer by means of patch cable.
3. If your computer IP is in a network section different from camera IP, please set it to the same network section as
camera IP, such as, 192.168.1.87.
4. Log in the camera through client software or browser to check whether the video functions normally.
5. Adjust the code stream and other video parameters.
6. Modify the network parameters of camera and reboot the device.
7. Repeat Step 3.
8. Revisit the camera through client software or browser to check till the video functions normally.
9. Install the camera and adjust the camera angle to the appropriate area.
10. Visit the camera through client software or browse for video monitoring.

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.
Notice: The wiring during power on may seriously damage the camera, which will be disqualified from the
guarantee.
4. Please use the power (voltage 24V AC and rating current no lower than 2A) provided by the factory for the
cameras. Much higher or lower voltage and direct current power may cause the camera failure.
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.
Do not connect cables when power is on!

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.
9. Pay attention to provide lightning protection if the camera is mounted outdoor. Do not touch the camera during
lightning.
10. Use the camera in the working conditions:
Ambient temperature: -20 ℃~ +55 ℃; ambient relative humidity: 10% ~ 95%RH.
11. Please keep the lens and transparent cover clean. If the transparent cover is dirty, please wipe it with clean soft cloth.
12. Do not let the cameras aim at intense light source for long period of time, in order to avoid the CCD failure, which
results in no images or distorted images displayed.
13. The balls of the products feature best waterproof and damp-proof performance, which meet the requirement of IP66
standard. If the correct wiring mode is not used, the rain water will enter the core of the ball along the wire, to cause
short circuit of the control circuit board or even the damage of the camera. The correct and wrong wiring modes are
shown as follows:
Uncovered cable should be less than 5mm
Please use repeater when exceeding 80m

2.2 Network Connection
The device can be connected to network in two ways. The first way is to connect to the network by means of Ethernet
cable, and the second way is to connect to wireless network (optional).
Connect by Ethernet Cable
1. Use Ethernet cables to connect the device to network or directly to computer.
2. Connect the power supply of the device.
3. During normal connection, if it is a 10M network, the orange lamp is always on; if it is a 100M network, the green lamp
is also on. The physical connection with network is completed after the lamp shining.
4. In the [Start] menu, select [Programs] > [Accessories] > [Command Prompt], and input the ping command to the
device address (e.g.: type in "ping 192.168.1.88"). If "Request timed out" does not pop up, the device is successfully
connected to network.
Notice:
1) The default IP address is "192.168.1.88" and the default HTTP port is 80. If needed to change IP address or port,
refer to Network Setting in WEB Server User Manual.
2) If the device is in a network section different from computer, refer to How to Visit IPC on Internet in WEB Server
User Manual for the connection during different network sections.
Connect to Wireless Network
Before starting the wireless network, connect the IPC to network by Ethernet cable, visit the device through browser, enter
"Network Setting" interface, and set the wireless network connection following the operating procedure, as detailed in
Network Setting in WEB Server User Manual.
