It also includes alarm input and output functionalities, enabling integration with external alarm systems. The device can store footage locally via a Micro SD card.
Important Technical Specifications
- Resolution: 4.1MP HD
- Power Input: DC12V or AC24V. When using AC24V power, a default DC5.5 round port to 2-pin converter cable is required.
- Network Connectivity: Standard Ethernet port with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support.
- Dimensions: Approximately 159.0 mm (diameter) x 117.9 mm (height), with a base diameter of Ø140.0 mm and three Ø4.7 mm mounting holes.
- Lens Adjustment:
- Zoom W: Adjusts lens to wide angle end (image minimum zoom).
- Zoom T: Adjusts lens to telephoto end (image maximum zoom).
- Image Pan Rotation.
- Lens Tilt Rotation.
- Tilt Rotation Locking Screw on Both sides.
- Lens Pan Rotation.
- Adjusting lens angle: vertical (0° ~ +65°), horizontal (0° ~ +355°).
- Video Output: Analog video signal output (VIDEO_OUT) for connecting to a TV monitor.
- Storage: Micro SD slot for local storage.
- I/O Port: Includes alarm input, output, and audio input/output.
- Alarm Input: Supports both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) inputs. The device collects logic "1" when the input signal is connected to 3.3V or is idle, and logic "0" when grounded.
- Alarm Output: Collector open circuit output, connecting a 10K resistor to 3.3V externally.
- Mode A (Level application): Alarm output is OC (Open Collector). Requires an external pull-up resistance to function. Max external pull-up level is 5V, max port current is 5mA. Default output signal is high level (external pull-up voltage), and switches to low level when alarm occurs (output voltage less than 0.8V).
- Mode B (Switch application): Alarm output used to drive external circuit. Max current is 30mA, max voltage is 5V. A relay is advised if the value is exceeded.
- Default IP Address: 192.168.1.108 (factory default).
- Default Username/Password: admin/admin.
Usage Features
- Easy Installation: The camera comes with an installation position map, screws, and an inner hex wrench for straightforward setup. The installation process involves mounting the pedestal, connecting cables, and securing the dome enclosure.
- Bidirectional Talk:
- Device-end to PC-end: Connect a speaker or MIC to the device's audio input and earphones to the PC's audio output. Enable "Talk" on the Web interface to transmit audio from the device to the PC.
- PC-end to Device-end: Connect a speaker or MIC to the PC's audio input and earphones to the device's audio output. Enable "Talk" on the Web interface to transmit audio from the PC to the device. On-site listening is null during this process.
- Alarm Setup: Configure alarm inputs and outputs via the Web interface. The device can trigger actions like recording, sending emails, or snapshots upon alarm detection.
- Micro SD Card Installation: The Micro SD card slot is located internally. To install, open the device enclosure, insert the card into the slot, and ensure it is properly seated. Power down the device before installation.
- Network Configuration:
- Modify IP Address: Use the "ConfigTools.exe" tool to discover and modify the camera's IP address. Alternatively, the IP address can be changed via the "Net" interface in the Web configuration.
- Login WEB Interface: Access the camera's Web interface by entering its IP address in a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer). Use the default username "admin" and password "admin" to log in.
- Camera Adjustment: After installation, adjust the lens for pan and tilt, and use the zoom functions to achieve the desired field of view. The IR light decoration cover can be rotated to adjust the image and lens horizontal direction.
- Side Wiring: For side cable installation, remove the plastic decoration plug on the lateral side of the pedestal and route the cable through.
- Waterproof Cable Connection: The device includes two wiring holes and waterproof sealing plugs. Cables with diameters between 4.0mm and 6.0mm can be passed through the sealing plugs for waterproof protection.
Maintenance Features
- Cleaning: Use a dry soft cloth to clean the device. For stubborn dirt, use a mild detergent first, then clean with a dry cloth. Avoid strong solvents like alcohol, benzene, or thinner. For the lens, use a dry cloth wetted with alcohol to wipe away dust gently.
- Reset Button: The "RESET" button restores the device to factory default settings.
- Firmware Updates: The device supports firmware upgrades, which can be performed via the Web interface.
- Troubleshooting: The manual advises checking power supply, wiring, and environmental conditions for common issues.
- Storage and Transport: Pack the device with standard factory packaging or material of the same quality. Avoid heavy stress, violent vibration, or water splash during transport, storage, and installation.
- Environmental Protection: Avoid aiming the device at strong light sources to prevent overexposure and damage to the CCD/CMOS. Keep the device within allowed humidity and temperature ranges, away from wet, dusty, extremely hot, cold, or electromagnetically radiated environments. Ensure good ventilation to prevent heat accumulation.
- Safety: Do not touch heat dissipation components directly. Ensure all electrical installations conform to local safety codes. Install an easy-to-use power-off device for emergencies. Prevent line cords from being trampled or pressed. Do not connect two power sources simultaneously.
