Read this page before you go to the job site!

For maximum control and convenience, install your camera with a connection to the Internet via your NVR
or through a local network router. This allows you to use OvrC, a powerful remote maintenance tool. See
OvrC.com for details. In addition, your client can use the Luma Surveillance mobile app to check on the camera
from anywhere.

For installation using this guide, you must be able to access this camera through a personal computer. If your
surveillance system is not on a network, you’ll have to use the NVR’s local interface for installation. See the NVR
user’s manual for details.

Required Equipment

} A network connection (and an NVR, if desired)
} Admin rights to a computer that can access the network
} Mobile phone with the Luma Surveillance mobile app (recommended) or CCTV tester
} Power source: either PoE or standard wall outlet
} Phillips screwdriver

Additional Resources

If desired, you can add an SD card (up to 128 GB) to the camera. An SD card or a network drive is required if you
want to keep a log of the camera’s activities.

You can acquire a PDF of the web interface manual and other materials from the product page at SnapAV.com.

Before you start, ensure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included. Also ensure
that your recorder (if you are using one) has the very latest firmware. Use OvrC to update the firmware, or

consult your NVR manual.

} Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to hold three times the weight of the camera and the mount.
} If the mounting surface is cement, use the included expansion screws to install the camera. If mounting to

a wood surface, use self-tapping wood screws (not included) to secure the camera.

Wired Installation (with an NVR)

If you are installing with an NVR, follow these instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions starting on the
next page.

1. Ensure your NVR has the latest firmware. If it does not, your NVR may be unable to locate and activate
your camera.

2. Perform the physical installation of your camera by following the instructions given on pages 14–17.

3. Plug your camera into your recorder. The NVR autodetects your camera, activates it (giving it the same
admin password that it has), and assigns it an IP address.

4. Complete the installation using the instructions given in your NVR manual. You do not need to continue
using this guide. Where possible, we recommend changing settings using your NVR.

Optional Extra Setup

This camera has advanced detection features that are not available on your NVR: line crossing and area intrusion.
After completing installation, see the camera’s web interface manual to set these up.
