1 Overview
1.1 Product Description
The ZKMD3 series products are day/night vandal-proof color IP cameras, which
feature the aluminum alloy die casting design and IP66 protection grade.
The series products are equipped with 2-megapixel CMOS sensors or high-quality
CCD sensors made by Sony, which feature the long-distance infrared lamp
projection, wide projection angle and night vision capability. The optimized H.264
coding algorithm guarantees the transmission of sharp and smooth video effect. The
embedded Web Server enables users to conveniently implement real time
surveillance and remote control for front end cameras via browser.
The series products are either megapixel (high definition) or common pixel
(standard definition) cameras, which can be wall mounted or ceiling mounted, easily
installed and operated, and used in indoor or outdoor places. The products are
applicable for the places requiring short distance and wide angle, tight security and
all-weather surveillance, such as residence communities, factories and banks, as well
as the occasions requiring remote network video.

1. Power Interface: Connect to the adapter. This IPC employs the power supply
of DC 12V and no lower than 1.5A. Do not use any different power supply as
it may damage the camera.
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.
This interface can also employ Ethernet power supply (POE, optional) and allow the
transmission of power and data through Ethernet cable.
PoE Swicth
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.

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/1.5A
4. Use the power supply of DC12V and no lower than 1.5A 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
13
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.
123
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.
Please userepeater 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. Pay attention to provide lightning protection if the camera is mounted outdoor.
Do not touch the camera during lightning.

2.2 Operating Environment
Operating System: Windows 98/ Windows2000, 2003, XP, Vista/ Windows 7;
CPU: Pentium III 1GHZ or higher;
Memory: 256MB or higher, at least 128MB (possibly affect performance and some
functions);
HDD: 1.5GB available;
Screen Resolution: 800×600 or higher;
Browser: IE6.0 or latest version;
A better computer can considerably improve the effect of monitoring, so it is
recommended to use a better computer for monitoring.
2.3 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.
