Page 11: Installation
Installation Indoor Preliminary Setup SETTING THE HD PTZ CAMERA UP INDOORS ON THE NETWORK IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE SUCCESSFUL OUTDOOR INSTALLATION OF YOUR CAMERA. Network Requirements: Port 21 TCP outbound for FTP images must be open for the internal IP address of the camera. Port 80 TCP inbound must be open in order to operate the camera and view streaming data from any computer. - Page 12 First we need to remove the lid off of the mounting arm to do the indoor setup: 1. Take the mounting Arm and remove the black rubber cap using a pair of plyers or a small screwdriver. 2. Uncrew the T30 screw that was located under the black cap using your driver. 3. Remove the lid which should allow you to see the circuit board of the mounting arm.
- Page 13 4. Inside the housing you will see one side labeled RJ45 and a white connector disconnected floating in the housing. Connect that conector into the RJ45 slot as shown below. 5. The mounting arm is now ready to be used for the indoor test. Indoor Test Setup 1.

Page 18: Routing The Cable
Routing the Cables It is best to work with a team of at least two people, as cable will have to be handled from both the inside and the outside of the building. Keep in mind the standard HD PTZ Package contains 200 feet of Ethernet cable. This cable must reach from the camera to the corresponding PoE Injector Note: The HD PTZ Ehernet Cable is not UV rated. -

- Page 26 Shaking the Water off of the Dome To shake water off of the camera dome, you will need to be logged into the camera with your credentials which can be done following the steps in the “How to login and move the Camera” section After logging in, you will find that some settings on the bottom task bar appear. Simply click on the second icon from the left called speed dry. This will cause the camera to shake for about 5 seconds.

Captured Images Not Visible If the station power has been verified and images are available locally but captured images are not retrievable by Earth Networks, then most likely FTP is blocked. Live Video Not Available IMPORTANT: Once power is connected to the camera, make sure 2 full minutes have passed before attempting to access live video from the camera. -
Page 28: Maintenance
Maintenance There is little maintenance needed for the HD PTZ. As long as the camera housing remains tightly closed, there should rarely be a need to clean anything . The clear dome surrounding the camera may be very loosely wiped with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust and debris. The dome can then be wiped with the cloth using a very small amount of water. -
