2 Installation
Note:
Verify the package contents are correct by checking the items
against the packing list.
Read the following contents carefully before the installation.
Make sure that all the related equipment is power-off during
the installation.
Check whether the power supply is matched with your AC
outlet to avoid any damage.
Do not place the camera in extremely hot or damp
environment. To avoid heat accumulation, good ventilation is
required for a proper operating environment.
If the product does not function properly, please contact your
dealer or the nearest service center. Do not disassemble the
camera for repair or maintenance by yourself.
The bullet camera can be installed to both wall and ceiling. This
quick guide takes wall mounting steps as an example.
Steps:
1. Fix the mounting base to the wall. The mounting base can also
be used to keep the cables.

Network Camera·Quick Operation Guide
Figure 2-1 Fix the Mounting Base
Note:
Please apply water-proof measures between the ceiling
surface and mounting base and around the cables.
For cement wall mounting, you need to use the expansion
screw to fix the mounting base. The mounting hole of the
expansion pipe on the wall should align with the mounting
hole on the mounting base.
For wooden wall mounting, you can just use the
self-tapping screw to fix the mounting base.
The wall must be strong enough to withstand more than 3
times of the weight of the camera and the bracket.
2. Fix the mounting bracket with the camera to the mounting
base.

methods:
Use SADP, a software tool which can automatically detect
network camera in the LAN and list the device information

Network Camera·Quick Operation Guide
like IP address, subnet mask, port number, device serial
number, device version, etc., shown in Figure 3-2.
Use iVMS-4200 software and to list the online devices.
Please refer to the user manual of client software for
detailed information.
2. Change the IP address and subnet mask to the same subnet as
