The device described in the manual is the Concept Pro CBP360-IP12M IP Fisheye Camera, a surveillance camera designed for comprehensive area monitoring.

Function Description:

The CBP360-IP12M is an IP fisheye camera, meaning it captures a wide-angle, panoramic view, typically 360 degrees, from a single vantage point. This allows for the monitoring of large areas without the need for multiple cameras. The camera is designed to be part of an IP-based surveillance system, connecting to a network via an RJ45 Ethernet cable. It can be powered either through a standard power supply or via Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation by delivering both power and data over a single cable. The camera's output can be viewed on a monitoring device, such as a PC or laptop, and managed through Network Video Monitor System (NVMS) software. It supports various methods for finding its IP address, including BNC test cable, NVMS, UPnP on Windows® 7, and Bonjour on Mac OS®. The manual highlights its ability to provide a "Full 360° view screen" and a "Full 360° & 3 camera PTZ view," suggesting advanced de-warping and virtual pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) functionalities to allow users to digitally manipulate the fisheye image into more conventional views.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific numerical specifications like resolution, frame rate, or sensor type are not explicitly detailed in the provided pages, the model number "CBP360-IP12M" suggests a 12-megapixel (12M) resolution, which is a high-resolution capability suitable for capturing detailed wide-angle footage. The camera's dimensions are provided in a diagram:

• Diameter: Ø162 mm
• Height: 52.2 mm
• Mounting hole distances: 56 mm and 83.5 mm (from center to mounting points, likely for different mounting options or components). Power requirements: The camera can be powered by a standard power supply or PoE (Power over Ethernet). If using PoE, it requires a Class 3 PoE switch, delivering 450mA / 5.4W / 12V. Network connectivity: RJ45 Ethernet cable. Default IP address: 192.168.0.120 (if it cannot obtain an IP address from the router). Default user credentials for NVMS and web interface: User Name: admin, Password: admin. HTTP port default: 80. Control port default: 30001.

Usage Features:

• Wide-angle surveillance: Captures a 360-degree view, reducing the number of cameras needed for large areas.
• Network integration: Connects to an IP network for remote viewing and management.
• Flexible power options: Supports both standard power supply and PoE for simplified installation.
• Software management: Utilizes NVMS software for camera discovery, configuration, and viewing.
• Multiple IP discovery methods: Can be found using a BNC test cable, NVMS, UPnP (Windows® 7), or Bonjour (Mac OS®), catering to different user environments.
• De-warping and virtual PTZ: The mention of "3 camera PTZ view" implies the camera's software can de-warp the fisheye image and allow users to pan, tilt, and zoom within the captured 360-degree view, effectively creating multiple virtual camera views from a single fisheye lens.
• User authentication: Requires user name and password for access, with a default admin/admin credential.
• Remote access: Supports DDNS for remote connection, requiring port forwarding on the router.

Maintenance Features:

• Cleaning: Use a dry or damp cloth only for cleaning.
• Troubleshooting: The manual provides extensive troubleshooting steps for common issues such as:
  • Cannot find camera IP address: Check cable connections, PoE switch power, network configuration (PC on same network, ping camera IP), and use BNC test cable. Suggests resetting to factory defaults if static IP is incorrect.
  • Cannot connect on web browser: Verify local IP address.
  • Cannot connect via DDNS: Check port forwarding for HTTP (80) and Control (30001) ports, and ensure unique port numbers for multiple cameras.
  • Video not displaying/performing poorly: Ensure ActiveX plug-in or Adobe Flash Player is installed and updated. Suggests switching to Stream 2 for lower resolution on low-bandwidth connections.
  • Locked user account: Accounts lock after 3 incorrect password attempts. Unlock via the camera's web interface (Privilege Manager > User > Unlock).
• Installation: Detailed steps for mounting the camera, including using a mounting template, drilling holes, fixing the bracket, connecting cables, and securing the camera and dome cover.
• Safety Precautions: A dedicated "CAUTION" section outlines important safety and handling guidelines to prevent damage and ensure proper operation, including:
  • Installation by qualified personnel.
  • Avoidance of vibration or shocks.
  • Operation within specified temperature and power ranges.
  • Immediate shutdown and service contact in case of damage.
  • Avoidance of unstable lighting conditions, gas/oil leaks, and direct strong light.
  • Prohibition of disassembly.
  • Ensuring all covers are replaced.
  • Avoidance of strong electromagnetic fields.
  • Warning against dropping or subjecting the unit to physical shocks.
  • Emphasizes that failure to follow cautions may invalidate the warranty or cause serious injury.
