 Place all cables and the adaptor in dry and well-waterproofed

environments, e.g. waterproof boxes. The purpose is to prevent moisture accumulation inside the camera and moisture penetration into cables.

 While running cables, slightly bend the cables to a U-shaped curve to

make a low point (as demonstrated in the figures below). The purpose is to prevent water from entering the camera along the cables from above.

 The cable entry hole of the outdoor mounting kit (indicated in the figure

below) needs to be sealed with thread seal tape to avoid water from entering the camera.

3.1

Connectors

To power up the camera, connect the DC12V or AC24V / DC28-48V power adaptor to the power connector of the camera and the power outlet. Refer to the diagram and pin definition below for AC24V / DC28-48V power connection.

Select <Allow> or <Deny> from the drop-down list and click on the <Apply> button to determine the IP filter behavior.

 Add IP Address

Input IP address at the blank space below the <Filtered IP Address> list and click <Add>. The newly-added address will be shown in the list. Up to 256 IP address entries can be specified.

In addition, to filter a group of IP addresses, enter an address at the blank space followed with a slash and a number ranging from 1 to 31, e.g.

192.168.2.81/30. The number after the slash can define how many IP addresses will be filtered. For details, please refer to the following example.

 Example: Filtering a group of consecutive IP addresses

The steps below show what will be filtered when 192.168.2.81/30 is entered.

Step 1: Convert 192.168.2.81 to binary numbers. The binary numbers are 11000000.10101000.00000010.01010001. Users can refer to Appendix B: IP Addresses from Decimal to Binary for

converting the IP addresses to binary numbers. The number “30”

after the slash is referring to the first 30 digits of the binary numbers.

Step 2: Convert a few IP addresses before and after 192.168.2.81 to binary numbers. Then compare their first 30 digits with the binary numbers of 192.168.2.81.

Convert 192.168.2.80 to binary numbers. The binary numbers are 11000000.10101000.00000010.01010000. The first 30 digits are the same with the binary numbers of 192.168.2.81, thus 192.168.2.80 will be filtered.

Convert 192.168.2.79 to binary numbers. The binary numbers are 11000000.10101000.00000010.01001111. The first 30 digits are different with the binary numbers of 192.168.2.81, thus 192.168.2.79 will not be filtered. This also means the IP addresses before 192.168.2.79 will not be filtered. Therefore, users can stop converting the IP addresses before

192.168.2.79 to binary numbers.

Repeat the same procedure in “a” with the IP addresses after

192.168.2.81. Stop when the situation occurs in “b” happened.

Namely, the 30th digit of the binary numbers of IP address

192.168.2.84 is different, and will not be filtered.

As a result, the IP addresses 192.168.2.80 to 192.168.2.83 will be filtered when entering 192.168.2.81/30. The following table clearly shows the 30th digit of the binary numbers of IP addresses

192.168.79 and 192.168.84 are different from the others. Therefore, these two IP addresses will not be filtered.
