and warnings carefully!

iii

Important Safeguards and Warnings

1．Electrical safety

 All installation and operation here should conform to your local electrical safety codes.  The power supply shall conform to the requirement in the SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and

must make sure that the limited power source is rated 12V DC or 24V AC.

Please note: Do not connect two power supplying sources to the device at the same time; it may result in device damage!

 We assume no liability or responsibility for all the fires or electrical shock caused by improper

handling or installation.

 We are not liable for any problems caused by unauthorized modification or attempted repair.

2．Transportation Security

 Please ensure that the product does not endure heavy stresses, violent vibration or contact with

water during transportation, storage and installation.

 Please use the original packing material (or the material of the same quality) if you need to return it

to vendor.

3．Installation

 Do not apply power to the product before completing installation.  Do not put object(s) on the product.  Please install a proper power cut-off device during the installation connection.

4．Qualified engineers needed

All the examination and repair work should be done by the qualified service engineers. We are not liable for any problems caused by unauthorised modifications or attempted repair.

5. Environment

 This product should be installed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, inflammable,

explosive substances and etc.

 Please keep it away from environments that contain electromagnetic radiation or objects that

produce it.

 Please keep sound ventilation around the device at all times.  Do not allow the water and other liquid to penetrate into the device if casing has been

compromised. This series product complies with the IP66 standard specified in the Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosure.

 Ensure lightning surge protection is in place to make sure you fully protect camera circuitry from

electrical overload.

iv

 Please make sure the CCD (CMOS) component is away from the radiation of the laser beam

device. Otherwise it may result in CCD (CMOS) optical component damage.

 It is recommended that the grounding studs of the product should be grounded, so to further

enhance the reliability of the camera.

6. Daily Maintenance

 Please shut down the device and then unplug the power cable before you begin any maintenance

work.

 Do not touch the CCD (CMOS) optic component. Please use an air jet to clean the dust off the lens

surface. You can use the dry cloth with some alcohol or mild detergent to clear if necessary.

 When the camera is not in use please put the dustproof cap to protect the CCD (CMOS)

component.

 Do not use volatile solvent such as the benzene, paint thinner or detergent with the ability to

abrade surfaces. It may result in lens damage or adversely affect the device’s performance.

7. Accessories

Always use all the accessories recommended by manufacturer.

Before installation, please open the package and check that all the components are included. Contact your local retailer/vendor ASAP if something is missing.

1 General Introduction

1.1 Overview

This network camera integrates traditional camera and network video technology. It adopts both audio and video data collection and transmission simultaneously. Because of inbuilt internal hardware it can connect to a network directly without any auxiliary device. When you want to access the camera, you can use a web browser running off the network at the client-end. Due to its multiple functions it allows for various use in many environments such office, bank, road & traffic monitoring, etc.

This series network camera product uses the latest industry standard H.264 video and G.711a audio compression technology, which guarantee the best audio and video quality whilst reducing file sizes.

One of the other main features this camera includes is the IR night vision, which aids in video surveillance when the camera is functioning within a low illumination environment. The LED IRs highlight objects of

interest within the camera’s field of view and is then able to filter out any visual interference so that you can

easily view footage upon a monitor. It supports real-time monitor and listening at the same time via the inbuilt microphone. If you want to communicate with a person(s) in view of the camera it also supports dualway bidirectional talk.

The built-in protection enclosure and waterproof design conforms to the IP 66 level. It has the sound waterproof function suitable for use in the outdoor environments.

2. Login to the Internet and then click the Audio button to enable the bidirectional talk function.

3. You will see that the button becomes orange after you enabled the audio talk function.

4. Click Audio button again to stop the bidirectional talk function.

Listening Operation

You will be able to listen to any audio coming from the device end by plugging in speakers or a headphone in to the audio output port at the PC end.

2.3.2 PC-end to the Device-end

Device Connection

1. Connect the speaker or the MIC to the audio input port in the PC and then connect the earphone to the audio output port of the device.

2. Login to the Web and then click the Audio button to enable the bidirectional talk function.

3. You will see that the button becomes orange after you enabled the audio talk function.

4. Click Audio button again to stop the bidirectional talk function.

Listening Operation

Speak or play music at the PC-end, you can use the built-in speaker of the device-end to listen.

Note: Please go to the Master Volume interface of the PC to set it first if you want to use the dual-way bidirectional talk. Please select Front MIC mode in the record control interface. (You can select microphone enhanced in ‘Advanced’ interface if the audio is too low.)

2.4 Alarm Setup

The alarm setup interface is shown as below (see Figure 2-3).

Figure 2-3

2.4.1 Alarm Input and Output Connection

Please refer to the following figure for alarm input information. See Figure 2-4.

Alarm input: When the input signal is idle or grounded, the device can collect the different statuses of the alarm input port. When the input signal is connected to the 3.3V or is idle, the device collects the logic ‘1’.

When the input signal is grounded, the device collects the logic ‘0’.

Figure 2-4

Please refer to the following figure for alarm output information (see Figure 2-5).

Port NO and Port C comprises of an on-off button to provide the alarm output.

This button is normally open. The button turns off when there is an alarm output.
