i3 International M98 User Manual

12MP Infrared Outdoor IP 360-degree Fisheye Camera
Thank you for purchasing i3 International's M98 Fisheye IP dome camera.
M98 is equipped with a fisheye 1.65mm @ F2.0 lens and digital WDR, and supports
h.265 codec compression.
Note: h.265 codec is supported by SRX-Pro v7 and above only. For backwards
compatibility and for web streaming compatibility, the camera is pre-set to h.264.
To switch between h.264 and h.265 compressions in the camera's web settings,
go to Config > Image > Video/Audio > Video Compression.
SAFETY
When installing your M98 camera be sure to avoid:
• excessive heat, such as direct sunlight or heating appliances
• contaminants such as dust and smoke
• strong magnetic fields
• moisture and humidity
• areas with mechanical vibrations
• fluorescent lamps or objects that reflect light and unstable light sources
• temperatures below -30° C (-22° F) and above 50° C (122° F
To avoid electrical shock and to preserve the product warranty, DO NOT
disassemble the camera. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
POWER SUPPLY
This camera accepts PoE power.
Ensure the supplied voltage meets the power consumption requirements of this
camera (10.5W) before powering the camera on. Incorrect voltage may cause
irreparable damage to the video camera and will effectively void the camera
warranty.
CLEANING
• For maximum optical clarity, the camera dome or lens must remain clean.
Use a soft, dry cloth to remove finger prints or dust from the dome cover.
• Use a blower to remove dust from the lens.
• Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinners, as they may
damage the surface finishes.

SURFACE INSTALLATION
Start by preparing the mounting surface. Based on installation location and surface type,
supplied screws and anchors may not be adequate.
For pendant or horizontal wall-mounting, purchase the back box (i3 part numbers: B98)
and use a 3/4" NPT pipe or DB60, respectively. Surface installation can be completed
without a back box.
Note: After installing the camera, your network camera must be accessible from your
local network (LAN).
To complete a surface mount installation:
1. Attach the supplied mounting template to the mounting surface.
2. Drill 3 holes, as marked on the template, insert 3 supplied anchors into the holes.
3. Drill the conduit hole for the camera cable, if routing the cable upwards.
If routing the cable sideways, through the cable exit opening, do not drill the
conduit hole.
