Basic setup

Back panel

Begin by attaching the mounting bracket and the antenna (if applicable) to the device. Select the mounting location for the camera, either on a wall, ceiling, or on a desktop. Insert the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port of the IP camera. Connect the other end of the network cable to your Ethernet switch, hub, router or IP sharing device. Plug the camera to a wall outlet using the supplied AC adaptor to power it on.

Warning: Make sure to use the supplied power adapter to make the connections to the AC mains. The use of a different adaptor may cause damage to the camera, heat up or catch fire. Any damage caused to the camera by using the incorrect power adaptor will void the warranty.

Verify that the mains voltage (110V or 220V) and frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) of your location match those specified on the label.
