Figure 1-1 Turret Camera Overview

Table 1-1 Type Description

Note:
For cameras that support power over Ethernet (PoE), the power is passed along with data on Ethernet cabling. A switch that supports the PoE function is required.

Installation

Make sure of the following before you start:

• The device included in the package is in good condition and all required parts are included.
• The standard power supply is 12 VDC or PoE (802.3af), and must be consistent with camera requirements.
• Equipment is powered-off during installation.
• The installation environment is correct.
• The wall is strong enough to withstand four times the weight of the camera and bracket.
• There are no reflective surfaces too close to the camera lens. The IR light from the camera may reflect back into the lens and cause reflection.

Note:
Four camera types have the same installation method. We will use the III/IV turret camera as an example to illustrate the installation.

Before you start:
Both wall and ceiling mounting are suitable for the turret camera. Ceiling mounting will be used as an example for this section, and can be used as a reference for wall mounting.

Steps:

1. Paste the drill template (supplied) to the desired mounting position on the ceiling.
2. Drill the screw holes and the cable hole in the ceiling according to the drill template.
   Note:
   Drill the cable hole if using the ceiling outlet to route the cable.
   
   Figure 2-1 The Drill Template
3. Disassemble the camera.
   1. Rotate the camera to align the notch with one of the marks.
   2. Pry the mounting base with a flat object (e.g., a coin) to remove it from the camera body.
      
      Figure 2-2 Disassemble the Camera
4. Attach the mounting base to the ceiling with the supplied screws.
   Notes:
   • The supplied screw package contains both self-tapping screws and expansion bolts.
   • If the ceiling is made of cement, expansion bolts are required to fix the camera. If the ceiling is made of wood, self-tapping screws are required.
     
     Figure 2-3 Fix the Mounting Base
5. Route the cables through the cable hole or side opening.
6. Install the camera body back to the mounting base.
   
   Figure 2-4 Install the Camera Body
7. Connect the power cord and network cable.
8. Power the camera on, and set the network configuration (for details, refer to Network Camera LAN Configuration and Access via Web Browser) to check whether the image is at an optimum angle. If not, adjust the surveillance angle.
   
   Figure 2-5 Adjust Surveillance Angle
   1. Hold the camera body and rotate the enclosure to adjust the pan angle [0° to 360°].
   2. Move the camera body up and down to adjust the tilt angle [0° to 75°].
   3. Rotate the camera body to adjust the rotation angle [0° to 360°].

Network Camera LAN Configuration

Note:
The use of products with internet access carries inherent security risks. In order to avoid network attacks and information leakage, strengthen your own network protection.

If the product does not work properly, contact your dealer or the nearest service center for help.

Wiring

   You can check whether the activation is complete in the popup window. If activation failed, make sure that the password meets the requirements, and try again.

Modify the IP Address

Purpose:
To view and configure the camera via LAN (Local Area Network), you need to connect the network camera in the same subnet as your PC.

Use the SADP software or client software to search and change the IP address of the device. IP Address modification via SADP software will be used as an example.

In order to modify the IP address via client software, refer to the user manual of the client software.

Steps:

1. Run SADP.
2. Select an active device.
3. Change the device IP address to the same subnet as your computer by either modifying the IP address manually, or by checking the Enable DHCP checkbox.
   
   Figure 3-5 Modify the IP Address
