Safety Instruction

These instructions are intended to ensure that the user can use the product correctly to avoid danger or property loss.

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

User Manual of Network Fisheye Camera

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:

 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.

User Manual of Network Fisheye Camera

 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.

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

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.

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

internet.

Figure 2-10 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.

Figure 2-11 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

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 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 2-12 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

Figure 2-13 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.

 Display Mode

You can select a display mode for the layout of the live view window. The description of each display mode is shown in the following table.  Fisheye View: In the Fisheye View mode, the whole wide-angle view of the

fisheye camera is displayed. This view mode is called Fisheye View because

it approximates the vision of a fish’s convex eye. The lens produces

curvilinear images of a large area, while distorting the perspective and angles of objects in the image.

 Panorama View: In the Panorama View mode, the round fisheye image is

transformed to rectangular image by some calibration methods.

 PTZ View: The PTZ View is the close-up view of some defined area in the

Fisheye View or Panorama View.

Note: Each PTZ View is marked on the Fisheye View and Panorama View with a

specifically colored region under software decoding mode, and with a specific navigation box under hardware decoding mode.
