B210-FM NOTE: For more information about the mounting solutions and accessories, please check the Advidia website. The above mounting accessories are not included in the package. Contact your sales agents to purchase.
Installing the Camera on a Surface This section details the procedures of installing the camera on a flat surface such as a hard or dropped ceiling and straight or tilted walls. Before installation, make sure the wall or the ceiling can bear more than the weight of the camera.
Step 2: Open the Dome Cover NOTE: To avoid scratches or fingerprints on the dome cover, it is recommended to leave the protective plastic on the dome cover until the camera is completely installed. However, the plastic has been removed on some of the pictures in this documentation to show clarity of the procedures being described.
Step 3: Prepare for Waterproof and Connect the Cable The camera comes with two (2) grommets used for waterproof installation: Cable Grommet: For use with an Exterior-grade Ethernet cable. Exterior-grade Ethernet cables are already waterproof. See Waterproof Solution with Bare Cable page 16.
Waterproof Solution with Bare Cable This section describes the procedures in using the included cable grommet and an exterior-grade Ethernet cable. 1. Disassemble the cable grommet as shown below: Body Clamping Compression (with Washer) Sealing Insert 2. Insert the clamping nut into the Ethernet cable. 3.
Page 17
4. Attach the cable grommet body to the hole of the camera. Attach to Camera Side Hole Attach to Camera Bottom Hole 5. If the cable will be routed along the surface, pull the network cable through the side conduit hole. If the cable will pass through the surface, pull the network cable through the bottom conduit hole.
Page 18
6. Insert the compression sealing insert into the cable grommet body and then attach the clamping nut to complete the cable solution. Same procedures apply to cable passing the surface or along the surface. NOTE: Make sure the clamping nut is tightly attached to the cable grommet body and the sealing insert is squeezed tightly.
Waterproof Solution with Conduit This section describes the procedures to waterproof the cabling connections using the bundled conduit grommet and flexible conduit. This is the recommended solution if an exterior-grade Ethernet cable is not available or when other cables, such as power adapter, DI/DO devices, etc., will be connected to the camera.
Page 20
2. Disassemble the bundled conduit grommet as shown below: Sealing Lock Nut Insert Body Clamping Nut NOTE: In this installation, the conduit grommet body can be securely attached to the mount kit; therefore the use of lock nut is not necessary. Please set the lock nut aside. 3.
Page 21
5. Insert the sealing insert and attach it at the end of the flex conduit. 6. Screw the conduit grommet body to the conduit hole of the camera. Attach to Side Conduit Hole Attach to Bottom Conduit Hole 7. If the cable(s) will be routed along the surface, skip this step. If the cable will pass through the surface, do the following: a.
Page 22
b. Insert the sealing nut into the conduit grommet body and then tighten the clamping nut as tightly as possible to complete the cable solution. 8. If only the network cable will be connected, connect the network cable to the Ethernet port of the camera at this point.
Page 23
10. Connect the network cable to the Ethernet port and other cables (if any) to the corresponding connectors on the camera. If necessary, install also the memory card at this point. 12V Power Connector Digital Input / Output (DI/DO) and Audio Input / Output Ethernet Port Connector Memory Card Slot...
Step 4: Install the Camera to the Surface Align the camera screw holes and the cable hole (if necessary) to the holes on the surface and attach the three (3) supplied screws (with rubber) to secure the camera. CAUTION: When using electric screwdrivers, be careful not to touch the internal camera components while attaching the screws.
2. Remove the plastic covering the dome cover. Final installation will look like the illustration below. Step 6: Connect to the Network Connect the other end of the network cable to a switch or injector. Then, connect the switch or injector to a network or PC and a power source.
Other Connections This section describes the procedures in preparing the external devices that you can connect to the camera. The camera supports DC12V power input, Digital Input and Output (DI/DO) and Audio Input and Output devices using the included terminal blocks. The use of these devices, however, is optional.
Page 27
3. Connect the wire with the white stripe to the 12V pin and the other to the GND pin. 4. Tighten the screws of the 12V pin and the GND pins to secure the wire connection. 5. Set the prepared power adapter for connection later. Below is an example of a power adapter with an attached terminal block.
Connecting the DI/DO and Audio Devices (Optional) Depending on your surveillance needs, you may connect digital input or output or audio input / output devices to your camera. The camera comes with one (1) terminal block for both digital and audio input / output devices.

How to Insert / Remove a Memory Card The camera supports local video recording or saving of snapshots to a memory card. NOTE: Supports microSDHC and microSDXC cards. How to Insert the Memory Card 1. Remove the camera module from the housing. See How to Remove the Camera Module on page 328.
If you work with Advidia cameras regularly, then there is even a better way to discover the cameras in the network – by using The Advidia B Series Camera Finder Utility. The IP Utility is a light software tool that can not only discover the cameras, but also list lots of valuable information, such as IP and MAC addresses, serial numbers, firmware versions, etc, and allows quick configuration of multiple devices at the same time.
Page 40
With just one click, you can launch the IP Utility and there will be an instant report as follows: You can quickly notice the camera model in the list. Click on the IP address 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.
Page 41
Use the default IP address of a camera: 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 42
The easiest way to assign cameras the IP addresses is by using the Advidia B Series Camera Finder Utility: With the procedure shown above, all the cameras will have unique IP addresses, starting from 192.168.0.101.
It is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player. Disclaimer Notice: Advidia does not guarantee the compatibility of its cameras with VLC player or QuickTime – since these are third party softwares. The third party has the right to modify their utility any time which might affect the compatibility.
Page 44
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.
