Overview The 2 MP Starlight IR PTZ Dome camera features a 1/2.8-in. STARVIS™ CMOS imager with a 32x optical zoom lens, and provides an all in one solution for capturing long-distance video surveillance for outdoor applications. The camera uses the Smart H.265+ video compression standard to improve encoding efficiency while preserving high-quality video.
Note: Dahua recommends attaching a “drip loop” (flex or hard conduit) during installation to ensure condensation does not form in the mount or the conduit.
Wiring The dome camera includes the following wiring bundles: Wire Color Connection Power 24 VAC Yellow/Green Earth Ground Black 24 VAC Video/Control Black RJ-45 Ethernet Alarm Alarm IN 1 Brown Alarm IN 2 Yellow/Green Alarm GND Blue Alarm OUT 1 Green Alarm COM 1 Audio...
2.4.2 Alarm Output – Level Application Use this alarm output configuration if the output triggers an external device by increasing the voltage. The alarm must increase the external pull-up resistance to trigger (high level) the device. The maximum external pull-up level is 5 V and the maximum port current is 5 mA. Once the output increases the pull-up resistance, the alarm decreases the output voltage to the normal state (low level) at less than 0.8 V.
Certain cameras include a SDHC card slot for onboard storage that support a 128 GB Micro SD card. Dahua recommends using a SanDisk Extreme Micro SD card (or an equivalent substitute) as these cards have been fully tested without issue and the SanDisk Extreme line is better suited for constant recording.
A readily accessible 2-pole disconnect device with a contact separation of at least 3 mm must be incorporated. Note: Dahua recommends attaching a “drip loop” (flex or hard conduit) during installation to ensure condensation does not form in the mount or the conduit.
2.7.1 Preparing the Camera The Network PTZ camera comes with the PFB300S Wall Mount and the PFA110 Mount Adapter, the installer must supply the following hardware: Four (4) bolts, washers or other fastening hardware to secure the wall mount to the ...
2.7.3 Insert a MicroSD Card The Micro SD card slot is located on the actual camera module. Loosen the four (4) screws from the rear panel on the back of the dome. Remove the panel. Unscrew the three (3) screws from the top of the camera module housing. Remove the camera module housing.
Mounting the Camera to a Wall Place the PFB300S Wall Mount against the wall and mark the location of the center hole and the four perimeter mounting holes. Pre-drill the four perimeter holes as marked on the wall for the expansion bolts, using a drill bit that is no wider than the expansion bolt.

Pull the composite cable from the dome through the adapter block and pull it out of the other end of the wall mount bracket. Line up the hook at the top of the dome enclosure with the inside hole of the adapter block and then push it to the end.
Network Configuration Initialize the device configure the IP setting with the Dahua ConfigTool or via the device’s web interface. Device initialization is available on select models, and it is required at first use and after device is being reset.
Set and confirm the password of the devices, and then enter a valid email address. Click Next. Select the options according to your needs and then click OK. Click Finish. Modifying the IP Address Modify the IP address of one or multiple devices at one time. This section provides ...
Launch Internet Explorer and type the modified camera IP address in the address bar. Internet Explorer opens the Login page. Type the Username and Password for the camera. (The default Username and Password is “admin”). Then, click Login. Install the controls according to the system prompt. Once the controls are installed IE displays the Web Interface main page.
Access the Web Interface for the device and click the Setup tab. Expand the Event menu, then choose the Alarm page. Set the alarm input and output parameters in the Relay Activation page. Set the parameters for the alarm inputs. Check the Enable box to activate the chosen alarm input (Alarm 1 or Alarm 2).
Page 27
Select the event from the Event Type pull-down menu (No SD Card, Capacity Warning, SD Card Error). Check the Enable box to activate the alarm for this event. Check the Relay-out box to enable a relay alarm. Then, specify the time in seconds to delay the alarm relay output (10 s to 300 s).
