1 Overview
1.1 Product Description
The mini intelligent high-speed dome IP camera is developed using state-of-the-art
technologies and features high-performance digital signal processing (DSP). It is a
high-tech monitoring product integrated with a zoom lens, a universal
variable-speed Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ), and a digital decoder.
This series camera features all-digital control and simple design, which minimizes
inter-component connections, improves system reliability, and facilitates installation

1.5 Connecting Terminal
(1) Power Interface: used for connecting the power adapter. The voltage of series
products is DC12VAC and the current is not lower than 1.5A. 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”.

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.
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
1.5A) 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) 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.
(8) Pay attention to provide lightning protection if the camera is mounted outdoor.
Do not touch the camera during lightning.
(9) Use the camera in the working conditions:

Ambient temperature: -10 ℃~ +55 ℃; ambient relative humidity: 10% ~
85%RH.
(10) Please keep the lens and transparent cover clean. If the transparent cover is
dirty, please wipe it with clean soft cloth.
(11) 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.

3. Drive three screws into the screw holes on top of the mini high-speed dome by
half, align the dome with the notch of the base, continue to drive the screws
into the screw holes of the base, and tighten the screws.
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.
