Features and Benefits

This is a cutting edge network video surveillance camera. It can capture, compress and transmit real time video in excellent quality (8 FPS 4Megapixel, 2032 x 1920). This camera is your best choice to build an intelligent IP surveillance system.

Adaptive Profile

With the innovative embedded Image Signal Processor (ISP), this camera responds to changing lighting condition with customized algorithm. This allows for clear image with very little noise at night.

H.264/MPEG-4/MJPEG Triple Codec Dual Streaming

This device supports 3 compression formats, H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG. It brings superior image quality at 8 frames per second up to resolution of 2032 x 1920 pixels, and offers up to 15 frames per second in Full HD 1080p (!920 x 1080). In 720p (1280 x 720) and VGA resolution (640 x 480) the device reaches 30 frames per second.

Rugged Vandal-Proof Construction withstands all kinds of abuse.

Special engineer polymer clear dome shell protects against brute force impact. It is extremely durable against any tampering intruder. IP66 construction isolates electronics against the elements. Rain, sleet or snow, nothing goes through. Temperature control ensures cold-start capability for use in the worst of weathers.

ExDR (Extreme Dynamic Range)

Extreme Dynamic Range technology is the most advanced approach of improving the dynamic range of the camera. While many other WDR technologies enhance the dynamic range while producing noise, blur edges of objects and untrue colors, ExDR is designed to improve the dynamic range while keeping the true colors, sharp edges of objects and free from noise.

P Iris Control

With optional P Iris Lens, this camera automatically adjusts incoming light levels to achieve the best video performance. Wildly fluctuating outdoor lighting condition is no longer an issue with your video quality.

Powerful Bundled Surveillance Software

To extend the capabilities of the IP Dome Camera series, a powerful surveillance program is included in the package for free. Users can easily use an existing PC as a digital video recorder. Scheduled recording and manual recording keep every important video recorded in the local hard disk. Reliable and accurate motion detection with instant warning enables immediate response in every condition. Quick and simple search and playback function lets you easily find the images and video you want.

1) Power Button

Press the Power Button and then camera will reboot automatically.

2) Ethernet Port

The IP device connects to the Ethernet via a standard RJ45 connector. Supporting NWAY, this IP device can auto detect the speed of local network segment (10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet).

3) Reset Button

Step 1: Switch off IP device by disconnecting the power cable

Step 2: Press and continue to hold the Reset Button (with a sharp tipped object, like a pen.)

Step 3: Reconnect the power cable while continuing to hold the reset button. The red Power LED light will flash on for 3 second first, turn off for about 15 seconds, flash on for another second and turn off again. By this time the reset to default operation is already completed. This will take around 20 seconds from power up. You may then release the reset button. This length of time fluctuates slightly with the environment. The Power LED light will come back on and stay on after a few more seconds. The unit will start up with factory default settings automatically.

3	GND	E-Ground of power

7) Digital Input / Output

Used in applications like motion detection, event triggering, time lapse recording, alarm notifications, etc., the I/O terminal connector provides the interface to:

• 2 transistor output - For connecting external devices such as relays and LEDs.
  Connected devices can be activated by Output buttons on the Live View page or through video management software. Connect Pin 2 with 4 or 6 with 8.
• 2 Digital Input - An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, for example: PIRs, door/window contacts, glass break detectors, etc. The device will detect the change in digital input and transmit the signal to video surveillance servers.

Pin 1	GND	Ground. Connect with Pin 3 for DI control loop.
Pin 2	12V	Provides power to external devices with a maximum current of 100mA.	Voltage: 12V DC, Max: 1.2W
Pin 3	Digital Input	Connect to GND to activate, or leave floating (or unconnected) to deactivate.	Must not be exposed to voltages greater than 30V DC.
Pin 4	Transistor Output	Connect to Pin 2 through external devices for DO loop. If used with an external relay, a diode must be connected in parallel with the load for protection against transient voltages.	Max load = <100mA Max voltage = 24V DC (to the transistor)

(Pin 5 – 8 repeats Pin 1-4 for another set of DIO)

Connect input/output devices to the camera as follows:

1. Attach the cables for the device securely to the supplied green connector block.

3) Connect cables to connectors

Please follow the instructions in the Physical Description section for how to connect to each connector.

How to Do the Waterproof Installation

The following installation procedure makes the camera be water-resistant even for the situations where the camera can easily be flooded by pouring rain.

The important part to focus on during the installation:

The protection of the cabling has to be done by a proper flex conduit. The size of the flex conduit that matches with the conduit gland is 3/4" (trade size), or with actual physical diameter of 26.441mm.

Close-up of a coiled black plastic tube with parallel grooves (no text or symbols visible)

Have the Ethernet cable inserted through the flex conduit together with RJ-45 connector. You may also consider to do the RJ-45 connector crimping after pushing the cable through the conduit.

Slide the clamping nut around flex conduit some 10-20 cm away from the top. Fit the sealing insert (made of rubber) to the top of the flex conduit.

Two black plastic connectors with blue wires attached, one with a mesh cap and the other with a coiled cable (no text or symbols visible)

On the camera side, decide which of the 2 possible holes you are going to use to connect the flex conduit. There is one hole on the side, and one on the bottom. Whichever you pick, remember to seal off the other one with the metal patch (included in the camera set).

3. Accessing Camera

If you have DHCP server / router in your network:

Many network server / routers are able to automatically provide IP addresses through DHCP. If you are using such a network, just plug in your computer and IP Dome Cam into the network and your IP device will acquire network address by itself.

If you do NOT have DHCP server / router in your network:

1. Configure your PC to use the same subnet by changing your PC's IP address to the subnet with prefix 192.168.0.XXX. The last number should be anything from 1 to 254 except 100 and other occupied IP addresses. Subnet mask should be 255.555.255.0.
2. The default IP used by this device is 192.168.0.100. Please make sure your PC is NOT using this address and that no two devices use the same IP address in the network.
3. Change your IP address by going to Control Panel ->Manage Network Connections -> Right click on the connection to change -> Option -> TCP/IP IPv4 Properties.

Please set the settings as below.

●
IP address: 192.168.0.xxx
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255. 0

(NOTE: xxx should be a number from 1 to 254 except 100, which is used by the IP device. Please also make sure that no two equipments use the same IP address in the

1. Open Internet Explorer (Version 6.0 or above), and type in the Default IP: 192.168.0.100
2. When you see the login window, please input default user and password: Default User: Admin Password: 123456

1. After logging in, you will see the video from camera. To go to the main menu, click the "Setup" button on the top left.

If you are using a single camera, this is enough to access the device.

If you are using multiple devices, you need to change the current device to another unused IP address, so that when the next device is connected to the network, no two devices use the same IP. Please perform the following steps.

1. Go to Network -> Connection Type
2. Change the IP mode to Static.
3. Change the IP to 192.168.0.101 or any other unused IPs. Do NOT use the PC's IP address or 192.168.0.100.). If this is not the first device you add to the network, please also avoid other devices' IPs.

1. Click "Apply"
2. Please go to System -> Save & Reboot, and click "Apply". Internet Explorer will close after a few seconds. This is normal.
3. Wait for 30 seconds, and open IE again to connect to the new IP. (In this example, 192.168.0.101). For the second device or more you add into the network, please type the correct IP.
4. Adjust the default Video setting by going to "Video & Audio".
