Network: 802.11b/g/n 2.4 GHz or Ethernet, with DHCP
Step 1: Switching off power
Switch off the power to all wires leading to the assembly location, i.e. power supply unit for the BirdGuard etc.
Step 2: Determining the assembly location
The BirdGuard uses an ultra wide-angle hemispheric lens so that even when the person is a minimum distance of 50
cm (19.68 inches) away from the BirdGuard, a low installation height is sufficient. The lens is therefore not
mechanically adjustable. The camera lens should be located at an altitude of at least 125 cm (49.22 inches). You
may check this prior to the final mounting.
The BirdGuard is usually installed outdoors but can also be installed indoors.
(Optional) Press the mounting stand against the wall at the desired installation site and mark the boreholes with a
pencil. Remove the mounting stand again. Ensure that no cables are to be found in the wall behind the boreholes.
Step 3: Power supply
The BirdGuard can be powered by two simple doorbell wires using the power-supply unit (mains adaptor) supplied
with it or via PoE (Power over Ethernet) using a network cable. The BirdGuard can alternatively also be supplied with
a DIN-rail power supply unit that you can obtain from us directly.
The BirdGuard does not use battery power. The use of a mains power supply permits the transmission and display of
on-demand live video at any time.
Power supply using the power-supply unit (mains adaptor)
Two insulated wires are required to power the BirdGuard by plugging it into the mains. Only use the power supply
unit provided along with the BirdGuard, or a DIN-rail power supply unit that you can obtain from us separately, since
this has been specially stabilized electrically and is equipped with an integrated audio interference reduction device.
Other power supply units may destroy the BirdGuard or cause poor transmission quality. The warranty automatically
expires if you use a different power supply unit. The power supply unit is plugged into a wall socket inside your
house.
Do not plug the power supply unit into the wall socket yet. Connect the power supply unit inside the house with the
crimp connector provided and the two wires that you would like to use to power the device.
Power supply via PoE (as an alternative)
To power the BirdGuard via a PoE switch (e.g. D-Link DGS-1008P) or PoE injector (e.g. TP-Link TLPoE150S) in
accordance with the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A, the four wires bearing the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 6 of a Cat.5
cable or better are to be used. A Cat.5 cable or better must be used as network signals can only be transmitted over
completely insulated, shielded and twisted cables. If you use PoE as a source of power, the WiFi interface of the
BirdGuard is automatically inactive, and
the four wires for PoE then simultaneously form the data link. The BirdGuard won’t start if your PoE Switch or PoE
injector does not support the PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A (see Diagnostic-LED and Diagnostic-Sounds).
1. Disconnect the PoE switch or PoE injector from the power grid.
2. Place the network cable in the installation site of the BirdGuard.
Do not combine the power supply from the power supply unit (mains adaptor) with the power supply via PoE.
Step 4: Further connections (optional)
If desired, connect additional wires to the installation site of the BirdGuard. The wires or connection
options mentioned in this section are optional.
Connecting the unit to a network
Network cable in accordance with the Cat.5 standard or better.
You can connect the BirdGuard to your existing network via WiFi, or alternatively use a network cable (Ethernet). For
reasons of network stability, we principally recommend using a network cable, as WiFi is sensitive to interference
(range, house walls acting as shields, reliability of performance, third party WiFi networks, wireless transmitters
causing interference in the area, etc.).
The BirdGuard can be powered by PoE or using the power supply unit provided.
If you use PoE as a source of power, the WiFi interface of the BirdGuard remains inactive.
