This document serves as a user's manual for the ALPTOP POE Camera Series, including models AT-800B(Z), AT-800D(Z), AT-500PE(20), and AT-4K30P. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, connection, configuration, and operation of these network cameras, designed for security and surveillance applications.
The ALPTOP POE Camera Series offers robust surveillance capabilities, primarily functioning as network cameras that can be integrated into various security systems. These cameras support Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing both power and data transmission over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing cabling requirements. Alternatively, they can be powered by a standard DC 12V power supply if PoE is not utilized.
The cameras are designed to capture video streams, which can be viewed live or recorded. They support standard ONVIF protocol, enabling seamless integration with third-party Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and other ONVIF-compatible systems. This broad compatibility ensures flexibility in system design and expansion.
Remote access is a key feature, allowing users to monitor their premises from anywhere with an internet connection. This is facilitated through a dedicated mobile application, "Danale," available for both iOS and Android devices, as well as via web browsers (IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari) and a local PC client software (LMS Client for Windows).
Motion detection is an integrated alarm feature, where the camera can detect movement within its field of view and trigger notifications. This enhances security by alerting users to potential intrusions or activities. The cameras also support various recording options, including timed recordings and motion detection recordings, which can be stored locally on an SD card or remotely via cloud services.
Installation: The manual provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for physical installation, including mounting the camera base, drilling screw holes, and securing the camera. It illustrates the process with clear diagrams, ensuring users can properly set up the camera in their desired location, whether on a ceiling or wall.
Connectivity: The cameras offer flexible connection options:
IP Address Management: The manual guides users on how to download and use a "Search Tool" to discover the camera's IP address on the local network. This tool also allows for changing the IP address, enabling DHCP, or setting a static IP address to ensure the camera is on the same network segment as the computer or NVR. A default IP address (192.168.0.123) and login credentials (admin/123456) are provided for initial access.
Web Browser Access: Users can access the camera's web interface by entering its IP address into a browser. This interface provides comprehensive configuration options, including:
Local Client Software (LMS Client): For Windows PC users, the LMS Client provides a local viewing and management platform. Cameras can be added automatically via an "Auto Search" function within the LAN or manually by inputting the camera's IP address, video port, PTZ control port, and login credentials.
Recording Management: Within the LMS Client, users can customize video recording plans, including timed recordings and motion detection recordings. These recordings can be saved to the local computer. The manual specifies that motion detection recordings are typically 1 minute long, while timed recordings generate multiple clips, each about 30 minutes.
PTZ Control: For cameras with Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) capabilities, the LMS Client offers an interface for controlling camera movement, zoom, focus, and iris settings.
NVR Integration (ONVIF): The cameras support ONVIF, allowing them to be added to third-party NVRs. The manual emphasizes ensuring the NVR and cameras have matching IP schemes and compatible resolutions (e.g., 5.0MP or 1080P). It also highlights the support for Dual H.265 & H.264 codecs, noting that users should configure the camera to H.265 only if their NVR supports it, otherwise, H.264 should be used to avoid image issues.
Blue Iris Integration: Instructions are provided for adding the camera to Blue Iris software, using the "http" protocol to discover the camera within the LAN.
Danale Mobile App: The "Danale" app is central to mobile operation, enabling live viewing, alarm notifications, and cloud service integration for storing motion detection and 24/7 videos. Users register an account, add cameras by scanning a QR code or inputting WiFi details, and can then view live feeds. The app also allows for sharing camera access with other users, with customizable permissions.
Factory Reset: The "Search Tool" allows users to perform a "Batch Reset" to restore cameras to their factory default settings, including the default IP address and login credentials. This is useful for troubleshooting or reconfiguring cameras.
Firmware Upgrade: The manual mentions that firmware upgrades can be performed via the web browser, search tool, or PC client. Users are advised to obtain suitable firmware from the supplier and follow the upgrade process through the camera's configuration settings.
Troubleshooting: The "Frequently Asked Questions" section addresses common issues such as:
Cloud Service: The Danale app offers cloud storage for recordings, providing an off-site backup solution. Users need to purchase this service to access cloud-stored motion detection recordings.
Support: The manual provides contact information (support@alptopsecurity.com) for technical assistance, including obtaining firmware for upgrading or resolving specific issues. It also directs users to the company's website (www.alptopsecurity.com) for downloading electronic manuals, software clients, and additional resources.
