Network Camera User Manual

The precaution measure is divided into ‘Warnings’ and ‘Cautions’:

Warnings: Serious injury or death may be caused if any of these warnings are

neglected.

Cautions: Injury or equipment damage may be caused if any of these cautions are

neglected.

Warnings Follow these safeguards to

prevent serious injury or death.

Cautions Follow these precautions to

prevent potential injury or material

damage.

Warnings:

 Please adopt the power adapter which can meet the safety extra low voltage

(SELV) standard. And source with 12 VDC or 24 VAC (depending on models)

according to the IEC60950-1 and Limited Power Source standard.

 To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this product to rain or

moisture.

 This installation should be made by a qualified service person and should conform

to all the local codes.

 Please install blackouts equipment into the power supply circuit for convenient

supply interruption.

 Please make sure that the ceiling can support more than 50(N) Newton gravities if

the camera is fixed to the ceiling.

 If the product does not work properly, please contact your dealer or the nearest

service center. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. (We shall not

assume any responsibility for problems caused by unauthorized repair or

maintenance.)

Cautions:

Network Camera User Manual

 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 (refer to product

specification for working temperature), dusty or damp environment, and do not

expose it to high electromagnetic radiation.

 To avoid heat accumulation, ensure there is good ventilation to the device.  Keep the camera away from water and any liquids.  While shipping, pack the camera in its original, or equivalent, packing materials.

Or packing the same texture.

 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

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.

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.

2. Assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to Section 2.1.2

for detailed IP address configuration of the network 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.

Network Camera User Manual

5. Visit the network camera through a web browser or the client software over the

internet.

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 for detailed IP address configuration of

the network camera.

Accessing the Camera with Static IP Directly

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:

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 for detailed IP address configuration of the network camera.

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

Network Camera User Manual

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 7.1.3

Configuring PPPoE Settings for detailed configuration.

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

Normal Domain Name Resolution

Steps:

Network Camera User Manual

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 7.1.2 Configuring DDNS Settings for detailed

configuration.

3. Visit the camera via the applied domain name.

Chapter 3 Access to the Network

Camera

Accessing by Web Browsers

Note:

For certain camera models, HTTPS is enabled by default and the camera creates an unsigned certificate automatically. When you access to the camera the first time, the web browser prompts a notification about the certificate issue. To cancel the notification, install a signed-certificate to the camera. For detailed operation, see 7.2.6 HTTPS Settings.

Steps:

1. Open the web browser.

2. In the browser address bar, input the IP address of the network camera, and press

the Enter key to enter the login interface.

The default IP address is 192.168.1.64. You are recommended to change the IP

address to the same subnet with your computer.

3. Input the user name and password and click Login.

The admin user should configure the device accounts and user/operator permissions

properly. Delete the unnecessary accounts and user/operator permissions.

Note:

The IP address gets locked if the admin user performs 7 failed password attempts

(5 attempts for the user/operator).
