This document is a Quick Start Guide for an IR Fisheye Network Camera, version V1.0.1, released in May 2020. It provides essential information for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the device.
Function Description:
The IR Fisheye Network Camera is a digital video camera designed for internet protocol (IP) networks. It can send and receive audio and video data through the network. The camera is equipped with a fisheye lens and advanced algorithm for fisheye image rectification, allowing it to support surveillance with no dead zone. It also provides a panorama image output with multiple image screens and virtual PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) functionality.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Power Input: The camera requires a 12V DC power input.
- Alarm I/O: The device includes alarm input and output ports. The alarm output can be configured for either Mode A (level application) or Mode B (switch application).
- Mode A (Level Application): Alarm outputs high and low level. The alarm output is OD (open drain), which requires an external pull-up resistance (10K Ohm typical) to work. The maximum external pull-up level is 12V, and the maximum port current is 300mA. The default output signal is high-level (external pull-up voltage). The default output signal switches to low-level when there is an alarm output (as long as the operating current is below 300mA, the output low-level voltage is lower than 0.8V).
- Mode B (Switch Application): Alarm output is used to drive an external circuit. The maximum voltage is 12V, and the maximum current is 300mA.
- Audio I/O: The camera has audio input and output ports, allowing connection to sound pickups and speakers.
- Network Connection: It connects to the network via an Ethernet port.
- SD Card: The device supports an SD card for storage (optional).
- WPS/Reset Button: A WPS/Reset button is included for network configuration and device reset.
- Dimensions: The camera has a diameter of 126.2 mm (4.97 inches) and a height of 44.6 mm (1.76 inches). The mounting plate has holes with diameters of 3-4.4 mm (0.17 inches) and 98.3 mm (3.87 inches).
- Environmental Conditions: The device should be placed in a dry, dust-free, and cold environment. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, bright light, or extreme temperatures. It should be kept away from any liquid, fire, or lightning. The operating temperature range is not explicitly stated but implied to be within typical indoor conditions.
- Power Supply: The power source must conform to the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) standard and supply power with a rated voltage that conforms to Limited Power Source requirements according to IEC60950-1. The power supply must be correct before operating the device.
- Disconnection: A readily accessible disconnecting device should be incorporated into the building installation wiring.
- Cable Protection: Prevent the power cable from being trampled or pressed, especially the plug, power socket, and the junction extruded from the device.
- CMOS Sensor: The camera uses a CMOS image sensor.
Usage Features:
- Device Initialization: The device needs to be initialized before use. This involves setting a username and password, confirming the password, and optionally providing an email address for password reset. The initialization process can be done via the "ConfigTool" or web interface.
- Modifying Device IP Address: The IP address can be modified to either static or DHCP. If DHCP is selected, the device will automatically obtain IP addresses from the DHCP server.
- Web Interface Login: The device can be accessed and configured through a web interface using an IE browser. The user will need to enter the username and password, and may need to install a plugin.
- Installation Types: The camera supports various installation types, including ceiling mount, wall mount, and pendant mount.
- Mounting: The device is mounted using a mounting plate and positioning map. The mounting plate can be locked into an "open" or "close" state.
- WPS Functionality: The WPS button on the router and the camera can be pressed to connect the camera to the router within 1-2 seconds.
- WPS Reset: Pressing and holding the WPS button on the camera for at least 10 seconds during proper operation will reset the camera to factory settings.
- Grounding: To improve device stability and grounding, the device should be grounded. The grounding hole is near the cable outlet hole at the bottom of the device, and the grounding screw size is M3.
- Alarm Input/Output Configuration: The alarm input can be configured to trigger an alarm output based on specific logic ("1" for connection to +3V to +5V or idling, "0" for connection to the ground). The alarm output can be configured via the web interface.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning:
- Do not touch the image sensor (CMOS) directly. Dust and dirt can be removed with an air blower, or by gently wiping the lens with a soft cloth moistened with alcohol.
- For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth with mild detergent. Avoid volatile solvents like alcohol, benzene, or diluent, as they can damage the device body.
- The dome cover is an optical component. Do not touch or wipe the cover with your hands directly during installation or operation. For removing dust, grease, or fingerprints, wipe gently with a moistened oil-free cotton with diethyl or moisten soft cloth. Dust can also be removed with an air blower.
- Firmware Updates: Regularly strengthen network, device data, and personal information by adopting measures such as but not limited to using strong passwords, modifying passwords regularly, upgrading firmware to the latest version, and isolating the computer network. For some devices with old firmware versions, the ONVIF password will not be modified automatically along with the modification of the system password, and you will need to upgrade the firmware or manually update the ONVIF password.
- Professional Installation: Standard components or accessories provided by the manufacturer should be used, and installation should be performed by professional engineers.
- Laser Beam Safety: The surface of the image sensor should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment where a laser beam device is used.
- Power Supply: Do not provide two or more power supply sources for the device unless otherwise specified. A failure to follow this instruction might cause damage to the device.
- Heat Dissipation: Do not touch the heat dissipation component of the device to avoid scalds.
- Disassembly: Carefully follow the instructions in the manual when performing any disassembly operation. If water leakage or poor image quality occurs due to unprofessional disassembly, contact after-sale service for desiccant replacement. If there is condensed fog on the lens after unpacking or when the desiccant turns green, models with desiccant should be included.
- Lightning Protection: It is recommended to use the device together with a lightning arrester to improve lightning protection.
- Grounding: It is recommended to ground the device to enhance reliability.
- Storage: Transport, use, and store the device within the range of allowed humidity and temperature. Heavy stress, violent vibration, or water splash are not allowed during transportation, storage, and installation.
- Packaging: Pack the device with standard factory packaging or the equivalent material when transporting the device.
- Installation Location: Install the device in a location where only the professional staff with relevant knowledge of safety guards and warnings can access it. The accidental injury might happen to the non-professionals who enter the installation area when the device is operating normally.
