Cautions:
Make sure the power supply voltage is correct before using the camera.
Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.
Do not touch sensor modules with fingers. If cleaning is necessary, use a clean
cloth with a bit of ethanol and wipe it gently. If the camera will not be used for an
extended period of time, put on the lens cap to protect the sensor from dirt.
Do not aim the camera lens at the strong light such as sun or incandescent lamp.
The strong light can cause fatal damage to the camera.
The sensor may be burned out by a laser beam, so when any laser equipment is
being used, make sure that the surface of the sensor not be exposed to the laser
beam.
Do not place the camera in extremely hot, cold temperatures (the operating
temperature should be between -30°C ~ 60°C, or -40°C ~ 60°C if the camera
model has an “H” in its suffix), dusty or damp environment, and do not expose it
to high electromagnetic radiation.
To avoid heat accumulation, good ventilation is required for a proper operating
environment.
Keep the camera away from water and any liquid.
While shipping, the camera should be packed in its original packing.
Improper use or replacement of the battery may result in hazard of explosion.
Please use the manufacturer recommended battery type.
Notes:
For the camera supports IR, you are required to pay attention to the following
precautions to prevent IR reflection:
Dust or grease on the dome cover will cause IR reflection. Please do not remove
the dome cover film until the installation is finished. If there is dust or grease on
the dome cover, clean the dome cover with clean soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
Make certain the installation location does not have reflective surfaces of objects
too close to the camera. The IR light from the camera may reflect back into the
lens causing reflection.
The foam ring around the lens must be seated flush against the inner surface of
the bubble to isolate the lens from the IR LEDS. Fasten the dome cover to camera
body so that the foam ring and the dome cover are attached seamlessly.

Chapter 2 Network Connection
Before you start:
If you want to set the network camera via a LAN (Local Area Network), please
refer to Section 2.1 Setting the Network Camera over the LAN.
If you want to set the network camera via a WAN (Wide Area Network), please
refer to Section 2.2 Setting the Network Camera over the WAN.
2.1 Setting the Network Camera over the LAN
Purpose:
To view and configure the camera via a LAN, you need to connect the network
camera in the same subnet with your computer, and install the SADP or iVMS-4200
software to search and change the IP of the network camera.
Note: For the detailed introduction of SADP, please refer to Appendix 1.
2.1.1 Wiring over the LAN
The following figures show the two ways of cable connection of a network camera
and a computer:
Purpose:
To test the network camera, you can directly connect the network camera to the
computer with a network cable as shown in Figure 2-1.
Refer to the Figure 2-2 to set network camera over the LAN via a switch or a
router.
Figure 2-1 Connecting Directly
User Manual of Network Fisheye Camera
10
Figure 2-2 Connecting via a Switch or a Router
2.1.2 Detecting and Changing the IP Address
You need the IP address to visit the network camera.
Steps:
1. To get the IP address, you can choose either of the following methods:
Use SADP, a software tool which can automatically detect the online
network cameras in the LAN and list the device information including IP
address, subnet mask, port number, device serial number, device version, etc.,
shown in Figure 2-3.
Use the iVMS-4200 client software to list the online devices. Please refer to
the user manual of iVMS-4200 client software for detailed information.
2. Change the IP address and subnet mask to the same subnet as that of your
computer.
3. Enter the IP address of network camera in the address field of the web browser to
view the live video.
Notes:
The default IP address is 192.0.0.64 and the port number is 8000. The default user
name is admin, and password is 12345.
For accessing the network camera from different subnets, please set the gateway
for the network camera after you logged in. For detailed information, please refer
to Section 5.3.1 Configuring TCP/IP Settings.
User Manual of Network Fisheye Camera

Figure 2-3 SADP Interface
2.2 Setting the Network Camera over the WAN
Purpose:
This section explains how to connect the network camera to the WAN with a static IP
or a dynamic IP.
2.2.1 Static IP Connection
Before you start:
Please apply a static IP from an ISP (Internet Service Provider). With the static IP
address, you can connect the network camera via a router or connect it to the WAN
directly.
Connecting the network camera via a router
Steps:
1. Connect the network camera to the router.
User Manual of Network Fisheye Camera
12
2. Assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to Section 2.1.2
Detecting and Changing the IP Address for detailed IP address configuration of
the camera.
3. Save the static IP in the router.
4. Set port mapping, e.g., 80, 8000, and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping vary
according to the different routers. Please call the router manufacturer for
assistance with port mapping.
Note: Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about port mapping.
5. Visit the network camera through a web browser or the client software over the
internet.
Figure 2-4 Accessing the Camera through Router with Static IP
Connecting the network camera with static IP directly
You can also save the static IP in the camera and directly connect it to the internet
without using a router. Refer to Section 2.1.2 Detecting and Changing the IP Address
for detailed IP address configuration of the camera.
Figure 2-5 Accessing the Camera with Static IP Directly
2.2.2 Dynamic IP Connection
Before you start:
Please apply a dynamic IP from an ISP. With the dynamic IP address, you can connect
the network camera to a modem or a router.
Connecting the network camera via a router
Steps:
User Manual of Network Fisheye Camera
13
1. Connect the network camera to the router.
2. In the camera, assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer
to Section 2.1.2 Detecting and Changing the IP Address for detailed LAN
configuration.
3. In the router, set the PPPoE user name, password and confirm the password.
4. Set port mapping. E.g. 80, 8000, and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping vary
depending on different routers. Please call the router manufacturer for assistance
with port mapping.
Note: Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about port mapping.
5. Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
6. Configure the DDNS settings in the setting interface of the router.
7. Visit the camera via the applied domain name.
Connecting the network camera via a modem
Purpose:
This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The camera gets a public IP
address by ADSL dial-up after the camera is connected to a modem. You need to
configure the PPPoE parameters of the network camera. Refer to Section 5.3.3
Configuring PPPoE Settings for detailed configuration.
Figure 2-6 Accessing the Camera with Dynamic IP
Note: The obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP address
always changes after rebooting the camera. To solve the inconvenience of the
dynamic IP, you need to get a domain name from the DDNS provider (E.g.
DynDns.com). Please follow the steps below for normal domain name resolution and
private domain name resolution to solve the problem.
Normal Domain Name Resolution
User Manual of Network Fisheye Camera
14
Figure 2-7 Normal Domain Name Resolution
Steps:
1. Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
2. Configure the DDNS settings in the DDNS Settings interface of the network
camera. Refer to Section 5.3.4 Configuring DDNS Settings for detailed
configuration.
3. Visit the camera via the applied domain name.
Private Domain Name Resolution
Figure 2-8 Private Domain Name Resolution
Steps:
1. Install and run the IP Server software in a computer with a static IP.
2. Access the network camera through the LAN with a web browser or the client
software.
3. Enable DDNS and select IP Server as the protocol type. Refer to Section 5.3.4
Configuring DDNS Settings for detailed configuration.
