Frequently Asked Questions - Power Pix DWC-D3361WTIR Digital Watchdog

How do I mount the DWC-D3361WTIR camera?

Use the included mounting template to mark holes on the wall or ceiling. Drill holes, pull wires through, and secure the camera using the two (2) provided machine screws and dry wall anchors. Refer to the installation section of the manual for illustrated steps.

How do I adjust the lens zoom and focus?

Use the included L-Key to turn the zoom screw on the bottom of the camera. Turn counter-clockwise to zoom in, clockwise to zoom out. After setting the zoom, adjust the focus using the same screw. The manual recommends using a test monitor for precise adjustment.

How do I access the OSD menu?

Remove the camera's lens cover by rotating it counter-clockwise. Use the built-in joystick to navigate the OSD menu. The OSD includes options for exposure, color, day/night, mirror, sharpness, and more. Press the joystick to select and adjust settings.

What power supply does the camera require?

The camera accepts dual voltage: 12VDC or 24VAC. It has auto polarity detection and protection. Power consumption is 1.8W (IR off) and 4.3W (IR on) for both voltages. Use a compatible power supply within this range.

How do the IR LEDs work?

The camera has a 100ft (30m) IR range with Intelligent Camera Sync. For best IR LED performance, set the Day & Night mode to 'EXT' in the OSD menu. The IR LEDs automatically activate in low-light conditions.

What is the 'Mirror' function in the OSD?

The Mirror option allows you to flip the image horizontally (H), vertically (V), both (H,V), or set to NONE. This is useful for adjusting the camera's view after installation. For example, V-Flip turns the image upside down, H-Flip mirrors it horizontally.

How do I clean the camera?

To clean the camera case, use a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. For the dome cover and lens, use a soft cloth to gently wipe away dirt or fingerprints. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What is the camera's warranty coverage?

Digital Watchdog provides a 5-year warranty on labor and parts, plus an additional 1 year on IR LEDs. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Proof of original purchase is required. Contact 1-866-446-3595 for service.

What should I do if there is no video output?

First, check the coaxial cable connection and ensure it is secure. Verify the lens iris adjustment in the OSD menu. Also, check the power supply for proper voltage and current. If the issue persists, contact technical support.

Can the camera be used outdoors?

The DWC-D3361WTIR is designed for indoor use. Its operating temperature range is -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F) and humidity less than 90% (non-condensing). It is not rated for outdoor exposure or direct weather.
