Need help?Do you have a question about the Dahua Technology IPC-HFW81230E-Z and is the answer not in the manual?
This document serves as a quick start guide for the Dahua HD IR Bullet Network Camera, providing essential information for its installation, configuration, and maintenance. It emphasizes safety precautions, environmental considerations, and operational guidelines to ensure proper functioning and longevity of the device.
The camera is designed for network surveillance, offering features for both electrical and environmental safety. All installation and operation procedures must comply with local electrical safety codes. Users are advised to verify the power supply correctness before operation, ensuring it meets the SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) requirements and is rated DC 12V or AC 24V according to IEC60950-1, as specified on the device label. An easy-to-use power-off device should be installed for emergency power disconnection. It is crucial to prevent the line cord from being trampled or pressed, especially at the plug, power socket, and device junction. A critical warning is issued against connecting two power supply sources simultaneously, as this can damage the device. The manufacturer disclaims liability for fires or electrical shocks resulting from improper handling or installation, and for any issues arising from unauthorized modifications or repair attempts.
Environmentally, the camera should not be aimed at strong light sources like direct sunlight, as this can cause overexposure and affect the longevity of the CCD or CMOS sensor. The device must be transported, used, and stored within specified humidity and temperature ranges. It should not be kept in wet, dusty, extremely hot, or cold environments, nor in areas with strong electromagnetic radiation or unstable lighting. Liquids or water should not be allowed to fall into the camera to prevent damage to internal components. For indoor devices, exposure to rain or dampness should be avoided to prevent fire or lightning hazards. Adequate ventilation is necessary to prevent heat accumulation. When transporting, the device should be packed using standard factory packaging or materials of equivalent quality. Heavy stress, violent vibration, or water splashes are strictly prohibited during transportation, storage, and installation.
For operation and daily maintenance, users are advised not to touch the heat dissipation components directly to avoid scalding. The device should not be dismantled by users, as it contains no user-serviceable parts, and unprofessional dismantling can lead to water leakage or poor image quality. If the desiccant turns green, after-sale service should be contacted for replacement. It is recommended to use the device with a thunder-proof mechanism to enhance its reliability. Grounding the product's grounding holes is also advised for improved camera reliability. The CCD (CMOS) optic component should not be touched directly. Dust or dirt on the lens surface can be cleaned with a blower, or gently wiped with a dry cloth moistened with alcohol if necessary. For general cleaning, a dry, soft cloth should be used. If excessive dust is present, a mild detergent diluted with water can be used, followed by cleaning with a dry cloth. Volatile solvents like alcohol, benzene, thinner, or strong abrasive detergents should be avoided, as they can damage the surface coating or reduce performance. The dome cover, being an optical device, should not be touched or wiped directly during installation and use. For dirt, an oil-free soft brush or hair dryer can be used. For grease or fingerprints, a soft cloth can gently wipe away water or oil, followed by an oil-free cotton cloth or paper soaked in alcohol or detergent, wiping from the lens center outwards, changing the cloth and repeating if needed.
Important warnings include modifying the default password immediately after login to prevent unauthorized access. Only standard accessories provided by the manufacturer should be used, and installation must be performed by professional engineers. The device surface should be protected from laser beam radiation. Providing two or more power supply modes simultaneously is prohibited, as it can damage the device.
The manual also includes a statement that the actual product may differ from the descriptions, and the manual is for reference only. It will be regularly updated without prior announcement. Users are encouraged to contact the supplier or customer service for any issues.
The package contents include one Network Camera Unit, one Quick Start Guide, one Installation Accessories Bag, and one CD. Users are advised to check the package contents upon receipt and contact their retailer immediately if anything is missing or broken.
The device structure details the external cable connections, including AUDIO OUT (RCA for speaker output), AUDIO IN (RCA for analog audio input), LAN (Ethernet port, noting that some series do not support PoE), I/O (alarm signal input/output), and Power (DC 12V or AC 24V input). A specific note advises connecting the DC5.5 round port to a 2-pin converter cable when using AC 24V power, and to use power according to the device tag. The I/O port details include ALARM_NO (normal open alarm output, used with ALARM_COM), ALARM_COM (alarm output public port), ALARM_IN1 and ALARM_IN2 (alarm input ports for on-off signals from external sources), and GND (ground port).
The framework and dimension section provides a diagram showing the device's physical dimensions in millimeters.
Alarm setup is supported by some series products. This involves connecting alarm input devices to the I/O port cable and alarm output devices to ALARM_OUT and ALARM_OUT_GND. The alarm output functions as a relay switch, connecting only to normally open (NO) alarm devices. Configuration is done via the WEB interface, where alarm input and output settings are adjusted. The device collects logic "1" when the input signal is connected to 3.3V or idle, and logic "0" when grounded. The alarm output switch is normally on and turns off when an alarm is triggered.
Device installation involves ensuring the installation surface can support at least three times the weight of the camera and bracket. SD card installation (optional) requires opening the lower cover to access the slot, analog output, two-direction buttons, and reset button. The SD card is inserted into the elastic slot. For motorized vari-focal series devices, manual lens adjustment is not needed, and zoom/focus can be controlled via the two-direction buttons. The analog output port can be connected to a TV monitor for image checking. The reset button can be pressed for 4-5 seconds to reset the device.
Installation steps include sticking the installation position map, digging holes, inserting expansion bolts, and fixing the device with screws. The sunshield can be adjusted. External cables are then plugged in, and the monitoring direction is adjusted. Adjusting screws must be loosened before adjusting position and angle, and tightened afterward. Continuous rotation of the camera body should be within three circles. The lower cover should not be left open for extended periods or in humid environments to prevent water mist or fog.
Waterproof connector installation for the network port is detailed for outdoor use. This involves installing a rubber ring and fixing rubber ring onto the network port and waterproof connector body, respectively. The network cable is threaded through the connector components, the crystal head is made, and then inserted into the network cable. Finally, the main body of the waterproof connector is rotated clockwise onto the network port, and the waterproof locking cover is rotated clockwise onto the main body to secure the connection.
Network configuration addresses the default IP address (192.168.1.108) and the need to modify it for network access. The "Quick Configuration Tool" is used for wired network cameras, allowing IP address modification. The tool only supports cameras on the same network segment as the computer. Users log in with default credentials (admin/admin) and port 37777 to modify the IP address on the "Net" interface.
The WEB interface login involves opening a browser, inputting the camera's IP address, and logging in with the default username and password (admin/admin). After successful login, users are prompted to install controls and are strongly advised to change the administrator password immediately.
