Precautions
1. Do not install the camera near electric or magnetic fields.
Install the camera away from TV/radio transmitters, magnets, electric motors,
transformers and audio speakers since the electromagnetic fields generated from these
devices may distort the video image or otherwise interfere with camera operation.
2. Never disassemble the camera beyond the recommendations in this manual nor
introduce materials other than those recommended herein.
Improper disassembly or introduction of corrosive materials may result in equipment
failure or other damage.
3. Try to avoid facing the camera toward the sun.
In some circumstances, direct sunlight may cause permanent damage to the sensor
and/or internal circuits, as well as creating unbalanced illumination beyond the capability
of the camera to compensate.
4. Keep the power cord away from water and other liquids and never touch the power cord
with wet hands.
Touching a wet power cord with your hands or touching the power cord with wet hands
may result in electric shock.
5. Never install the camera in areas exposed to oil, gas or solvents.
Oil, gas or solvents may result in equipment failure, electric shock or, in extreme cases,
fire.
6. Cleaning
For cameras with interchangeable lenses, do not touch the surface of the sensor directly
with the hands. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped applicator and ethanol to clean the
sensor and the camera lens. Use a damp soft cloth to remove any dirt from the camera
body. Please do not use complex solvents, corrosive or abrasive agents for cleaning of any
part of the camera.
7. Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature, humidity or power source
ratings. Use the camera at temperatures within 0°C ~ 50°C / 32°F~122°F (12 VDC), and
humidity between 20% and 80%; this device is not rated as submersible. The input power
source is 12 VDC. Be sure to connect the proper + / - polarity and voltage, as incorrect
polarity or too high a voltage will likely cause the camera to fail, and such damage is not
covered by the warranty. The use of properly fused or Class 2 power limited type supplies
is highly recommended.
8. Mounting
Use care in selecting a solid mounting surface which will support the weight of the camera
plus any wind, snow, ice or other loading, and securely attach the camera to the mounting
surface using screws and anchors which will properly support the camera. If necessary (e.g.
when mounting to drop ceilings) use a safety wire to provide additional support for the
camera.

5.3 Connecting the Camera to the Network
There are three methods to connect the IP camera to the network: Router or LAN Connection,
Direct High-Speed Connection and One-to-One Connection.
Router or LAN connection
This is the most common connection in which the IP camera is connected to a router and allows
multiple users on and off site to see the IP camera on a LAN/WAN (Internet). The camera must
be assigned an IP address that is compatible with its LAN. By setting up port forwarding on the
router, you can remotely access the cameras from outside of the LAN via the Internet. To
remotely access the Web interface of the IP camera, please refer to 7.3.7 DDNS Settings. To s et
up port forwarding, please consult the manual of the router.
Direct High-Speed Connection
In a Direct High-Speed Connection, the camera connects directly to a modem without the need
for a router. You need to set the static or dynamic WAN IP address assigned by your ISP (Internet
Service Provider) in the camera’s configuration web pages. To access the camera, just type
“http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address given by your ISP. If you have a
dynamic IP address, this connection may require that you use DDNS for a reliable connection.
Please refer to 7.3.7 DDNS Settings.

One-to-One Connection (Directly from PC to IP Camera)
You can connect directly without using a switch, router or modem. However, only the PC
connected to the camera will be able to view the IP camera. You will also have to manually
assign a compatible IP address to both the computer and the IP camera. Unless the PC has
another network connection, the IP camera will be the only network device visible to the PC. See
the diagram below:
