Hardware Manual Step 4: Waterproof and Connect the Cable The camera and the pre-installed network cable, “pigtail”, are resistant to salt, water, weak acid, alcohol, oil, grease and other common solvents. However, users must ensure that the cable connection and the network side cable itself are also protected from different environmental factors.
Hardware Manual How to Use the Cable Gland This section describes how to waterproof the cable-out or “pigtail” of the camera using the bundled cable gland. An exterior-grade Ethernet cable is required. The camera may or may not have to be installed first before doing the cable connections (see related installation procedures for details).

Hardware Manual 2. Insert the clamping nut into the Ethernet cable. 3. Insert the sealing insert with claw. 4. Insert the gland body into the Ethernet cable. 5. On the “pigtail” side, insert the washer into the “pigtail”.
Page 17
Hardware Manual 6. Connect the Ethernet cable connector to the “pigtail” connector. 7. Attach the gland body to the “pigtail”. Make sure the gland body is tightly attached to the “pigtail” and the washer is NOTE: secured between them. 8. Insert the sealing insert into the cable gland body and then attach the clamping nut to complete the cable solution.
Hardware Manual How to Use the Conduit Gland This section describes how to waterproof the cable-out or “pigtail” of the camera using the bundled conduit gland and flexible conduit. This is the recommended solution if an exterior-grade Ethernet cable is not available. Before connection, prepare the following materials: Flexible Conduit Conduit Gland...

Hardware Manual 9. Push the flex conduit and insert the sealing nut into the gland body. NOTE: Make sure the clamping nut is tightly attached to the cable gland body and the sealing insert is squeezed tightly. 10. Attach the clamping nut to complete the cable solution.
Hardware Manual Step 5: Connect the Cable Connect the other end of the network cable to a switch or injector. Then, connect the switch or injector to a network, PC, and a power source. See Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connection example below. Network Ethernet Cable Ethernet Cable...
Hardware Manual Other Connections This section describes the procedures in connecting Digital Input and Output (DI/DO) and Audio Input and Output devices. The use of these devices, however, is optional. Audio Input/Output Jacks DI/DO Wires NOTE: If these connectors will not be used, leave the rubber caps on and the wires twisted together to ensure cables remain waterproof and eliminate short-circuit hazards.
Page 24
Hardware Manual Understanding the DI/DO Cables You can connect up to one (1) DI and one (1) DO device to your camera. Digital Input Cables Cable Color Wiring Connection To connect a digital input device, map the Ground Pin (GND) Black digital input device wires to DI (red) and Digital Input (DI)
Page 25
Hardware Manual Typical Connection Based on these specifications, if the DI device has a voltage of 0V ~ 30V or the DO device has a voltage of < 24V (< 50mA), then the camera can supply internal power to these devices and there is no need to connect the DI/DO device to an external power source.
Hardware Manual The illustration below is a graphic example of connecting a relay to a high voltage DO device. 110V-220V AC External Power Source Relay (DO1 Device) Camera Illuminator NOTE: For more information on DI/DO connections, please refer to the Knowledge Base article on our website.
Hardware Manual Adjustments and Accessories This section describes the procedures on installing a memory card and resetting the camera. How to Install / Remove the Memory Card The camera supports local video recording or saving of snapshots to a memory card. NOTE: Supports microSDHC and microSDXC cards.
Hardware Manual 3. When done, ensure the rubber seal is aligned and attached to the back cover and then close the back cover by tightening the three (3) screws. CAUTION: Make sure the rubber seal is properly attached and the back cover is closed to ensure water or dust cannot enter the camera.

Hardware Manual Accessing the Camera Configure the IP Addresses In order to be able to communicate with the camera from your PC, both the camera and the PC have to be within the same network segment. In most cases, it means that they both should have very similar IP addresses, where only the last number of the IP address is different from each other.
Page 32
Hardware Manual By double-clicking with the left mouse on the camera model, it is possible to automatically launch the default browser of the PC with the IP address of the target camera filled in the address bar of the browser already. If you work with our cameras regularly, then there is even a better way to discover the cameras in the network –...
Hardware Manual Using the Default Camera IP Address If there is no DHCP server in the given network, the user may have to assign the IP addresses to both PC and camera manually to make sure they are in the same network segment. When the camera is plugged into network and it does not detect any DHCP services, it will automatically assign itself a default IP: 192.168.0.100...
Page 34
Hardware Manual Manually adjust the IP addresses of multiple cameras: If there are more than one camera to be used in the same local area network and there is no DHCP server to assign unique IP addresses to each of them, all of the cameras would then have the initial IP address of 192.168.0.100, which is not a proper situation for network devices –...
Hardware Manual Access the Camera Now that the camera and the PC are both having their unique IP addresses and are under the same network segment, it is possible to use the Web browser of the PC to access the camera. You can use any of the browsers to access the camera, however, the full functionality is provided only for Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Page 36
Hardware Manual The following examples in this manual are based on Internet Explorer browser in order to cover all functions of the camera. Assuming that the camera’s IP address is 192.168.0.100, you can access it by opening the Web browser and typing the following address into Web browser’s address bar: http://192.168.0.100 Upon successful connection to the camera, the user interface called Web Configurator would appear together with the login page.
