ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This Quick Start manual will help you get your IP camera online - whether you’ll be connecting it to an NVR, or using it in stand-alone (remote) mode. Detailed instructions on operating your camera using an NVR, computer or mobile device are contained in the User Manual or Remote Monitoring Guide on the CD included with your product. You will also find any needed computer software on this CD as well. Additional information can be downloaded from our support website at www.Q-See.com/Support.

This manual was accurate at the time it was completed. However, because of our ongoing effort to constantly improve our products, along with smartphone and router manufacturers adding and changing features on their products, it is possible that some functions may change from how they are described. We encourage you to visit our website at www.Q- see.com to check for the latest firmware and sofware updates as well as product announcements.

CONNECTING AND MOUNTING CAMERAS

What makes Internet Protocol (IP) or Network cameras different is that they each have a little computer processor inside them that allows them to talk to the NVR over a network - including the Internet.

There are three ways you can connect your cameras to your NVR:

1.Directly through the PoE Ports

2.Through your local network

3.Remotely over the Internet

USING THE POE PORTS

This is the simplest method. These ports provide power to the camera while receiving their video signal.

•Connect the camera and NVR using the

RJ-45 Ethernet cable.

•The PoE port can power a camera up to

200 feet away.

•The camera’s video will appear after a few seconds. (Non QT-series NVRs will need to search for the camera)

•Cameras will be assigned to a channel based on the order they were connected.

STEP 1. Connect one of the long Ethernet cables to the socket on the wire leading from the camera.

STEP 2. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into any of the Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports on the back of the NVR.

STEP 3. Repeat for additional cameras.

ON YOUR LOCAL NETWORK

Instead of running the cable directly between your camera and NVR, you can connect the camera to the same network used by your NVR.

•The camera will require its own power supply, called a “POE Injector” or a power supply at the camera’s location

•Both the camera and NVR must be on the same network (ie; connected to the same router)

•The camera’s video will be received by the NVR through the latter’s network connection.

•To view video from networked cameras, you will need to have the NVR search for the camera on the network.

The steps below are for use with Q-See’s QT-Series NVRs. To connect using another brand or series, please consult that NVR’s manual.

STEP 1. Connect the camera to a POE Injector, such as Q-See’s QAPE model (right).

STEP 2. Plug the injector into a power outlet.

STEP 3. Use a network cable to connect the injector to a network port.

STEP 4. Select IP Camera from the

Main Menu.
