Section 1: Product Overview
Introduction
The DCS-6115 HD Indoor Fixed Dome Camera with Color Night Vision is a professional surveillance and security solution for
small, medium, and large enterprises. The DCS-6115 uses a 1.3 megapixel progressive scan CMOS sensor which produces high
quality images with low noise. This makes it ideal for surveillance applications. Since the DCS-6115 has Wide Dynamic Range
(WDR) enhancement, users can identify image details in both extremely bright and dark conditions.
The built-in removable IR-cut lter and IR LEDs give the DCS-6115 the ability to view up to 10 meters (33 feet) at night. The
camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing for easy installation, without the need for supplemental power cabling. This
combination of features makes the DCS-6115 a high-performance, reliable and cost-eective 24-hour megapixel surveillance
solution.
System Requirements
• Computer with Microsoft Windows® 8, 7, Vista®, or XP (for CD-ROM Setup Wizard), Mac OS® X or Linux
• PC with 1.3GHz processor or above, and at least 128MB RAM
• Internet Explorer® 7 or above , Firefox® 12 or above, Safari® 4 and Chrome™ 12 or above
• Existing 10/100 Ethernet-based network
• A microSD memory card (optional) is required for recording to onboard storage. SDHC Class 6 or above is recommended.
• Broadband Internet connection

Connection Using Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Step 1
If you are using a PoE switch, use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet jack on the IP camera to the switch. This will
enable the transmission of both power and data over a single cable.
To prevent the camera’s wire connectors from being damaged
by water or other elements:
1. When connecting the camera, the unsheathed part of the
wire connectors must either be sealed or enclosed in a
junction box.
2. The unsheathed part of the wire connectors should be
positioned at a downward-facing angle when they extend
out of the rear of the camera, not upward.
