Safety and compliance
Cautions
● Make sure the power supply voltage is correct before using the camera.
● Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.
● Do not touch the sensor modules with your fingers. If cleaning is necessary,
use a cleaning cloth with a bit of ethanol and wipe it gently. If the camera
will not be used for an extended period of time, put on the lens cap to
protect the sensor from dirt.
● Do not aim the camera lens at strong light such as the sun or an
incandescent lamp. The strong light can cause fatal damage to the camera.
● The sensor may be burned out by a laser beam, so if any laser equipment is
used, make sure that the surface of the sensor is not exposed to the laser
beam.
● Use the unit under conditions where the temperature remains within the
range given in the Technical Specifications of this product. You can
download the datasheet of the camera at www.siqura.com.
● Do not install the camera in a dusty or damp environment, and do not
expose it to high electromagnetic radiation.
● To avoid heat accumulation, good ventilation is required to ensure a proper
operating environment.
● Keep the camera away from water and any liquid.
● While shipping, the camera should be packed into its original packing.
● Improper use or replacement of the battery may result in the hazard of

Cautions
The following cautions apply to cameras with IR functionality. Be sure to follow them to
prevent IR reflection.
● Dust or grease on the dome cover will cause IR reflection. Do not remove
the dome cover film until the installation is finished. If there is dust or
grease on the dome cover, clean the dome cover with a clean soft cloth and
isopropyl alcohol.
● Make sure that the installation location does not have any reflective surfaces
of objects that are too close to the camera. The IR light from the camera
may reflect back into the lens causing a reflection in the video image.

Before you start, obtain a static IP address from an Internet Service Provider (ISP). With the
static IP address, you can connect the network camera via a router.
To connect the network camera via a router
1 Establish a connection between the network camera and the router.
2 Assign a LAN IP address, subnet mask and gateway address.
For more information about the IP address configuration of the camera, see Connect the
camera to a LAN.
3 Save the static IP in the router.
4 Set the port mapping.
Use 80, 8000, and 554 as ports, for example.
The steps for port mapping vary according to the different routers. If necessary, contact
the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping
5 Visit the network camera through a web browser or client software over the internet.
Directly connect the network camera with a static IP address
You can also save the static IP on the camera and directly connect it to the internet without
using a router.
11
Connect to network
Dynamic IP connection
Before you start, obtain a dynamic IP address from an Internet Service Provider (ISP). With
the dynamic IP address, you can connect the network camera via a modem or a router.
To connect the network camera via a router
1 Establish a connection between the network camera and the router.
2 On the camera, assign a LAN IP address, subnet mask and gateway address.
For more information about the IP address configuration of the camera, see Connect the
camera to a LAN.
3 In the router, set the PPPoE user name, password and confirm the password.
4 Set the port mapping.
Use 80, 8000, and 554 as ports, for example.
The steps for port mapping vary according to the different routers. If necessary, contact
the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping.
5 Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
6 Configure the DDNS settings in the setting interface of the router.
7 Visit the camera via the applied domain name.
Connect the network camera via a modem
This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The camera gets a public IP address by
ADSL dial-up after the camera is connected to a modem. You need to configure the PPPoE
parameters of the network camera.
The obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP address always changes
after rebooting the camera. To solve the inconvenience of the dynamic IP, you need to get a
domain name from the DDNS provider (for example, DynDys.com). Follow the steps below to
set a normal domain name resolution and a private domain name resolution to solve the
problem.
To set normal domain name resolution
1 Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
