3. Using the mounting template sheet or the camera itself, mark and drill the necessary holes in the wall or ceiling.

4. Pass the wires through and make all necessary connections. See cabling section for more information.

5. To use the camera's water proof wiring:

a. Install the LAN cable into 'a'.

b. 'b' will be assembled to 'a' with a 1/4 turn.

c. Thread 'c' tightly to 'b'.Adjust the camera to obtain an optimum angle by loosening the lock screws.

6.2 Image Configuration

Image Configuration includes Display, Video/Audio, OSD, Video Mask and ROI Config.

6.2.1 Display Configuration

Go to Image→Display interface as shown below. You may set and adjust the picture's brightness, contrast, hue and saturation, etc.

Brightness Contrast Hue Saturation Sharpness Noise Reduction Backlight Compensation Antiflicker White Balance Frequency Day/Night Mode Sensitivity Infrared Mode Auto Exposure Mode Corridor Pattern Image Mirror Image Flip Enable Enable Disable Default Reset 25 50 50 50 50 30

• Brightness: Set the brightness level of the camera's image.
• Contrast: Set the color difference between the brightest and darkest parts.
  • Hue: Set the total color degree of the image.
• Saturation: Set the degree of color purity. The purer the color is, the brighter the image is.
• Sharpness: Set the resolution level of the image plane and the sharpness level of the image edge.
• Noise Reduction: Decrease the noise and make the image more thorough. Increasing the value will make the noise reduction effect better but it will reduce the image resolution.
  • Backlight Compensation:

- Off: Close the backlight compensation function. It is the default mode. - WDR

As to the WDR scene, WDR will help the camera provide clear images when there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of the view by lowering the brightness of the highlight area and increasing the brightness of the lowlight area. High, middle and low can be selected.
- There will be some record lost in a few seconds during mode changing from non-WDR to WDR mode.

○ HLC: Lower the brightness of the whole image by suppressing the brightness of the image's highlight area and reducing the size of the halo area.
○ BLC: The exposure will begin automatically according to the scene for the goal of seeing the darkest area of the image.

- Anti-flicker:

• Off: Close the anti-flicker function.
- 50Hz: Make sure the horizontal stripes will not appear in the image while the device is adjusting the exposure automatically according to the brightness of the scene when the electric supply is 50Hz.

• 60Hz: Make sure the horizontal stripes will not appear in the image while the device is adjusting the exposure automatically according to the brightness of the scene when the electric supply is 60Hz.
• White Balance: Adjust the color temperature according to the environment automatically.
  • Frequency: 50Hz and 60Hz can be optional.
  • Day/night Mode: Please choose the mode as needed.
  • Sensitivity: High, middle and low can be selected.
  • Infrared Mode: You may choose "ON", "OFF" and "Auto" as required.
• Exposure Mode: You may choose "Auto" or "Manual" as required.
• Corridor Pattern: You can change the direction of the video image by using this function. 0, 90, 180 and 270 are available. The default value is 0. The video resolution should be 1080P or under 1080P if you use this function.
  • Image Mirror: Reverse the current video image right and left.
  • Image Flip: Turn the current video image upside down.

6.2.2 Video / Audio Configuration

Go to Image→Video / Audio interface as shown below. In this interface, you can set the resolution, frame rate, bitrate type and video quality and so on subject to the actual network condition.

Video Audio Index Stream Name Resolution Frame Rate Bitrate Type Bitrate(Kbps) Video Quality I frame Interval Video Compression Profile 1 Main stream 2560x1440 30 CBR 3072 Minimum 120 H265 Main Profile 2 Sub stream 352x240 30 CBR 512 High: 120 H264 High Profile 3 Third stream 704x480 30 CBR 768 Higher 120 H264 High Profile Send Snapshot L Size: (2560x1440) □ Video encode slice split ☑ Watermark Watermark content: XXX

Click "Audio" tab to go to the interface as shown below.

Video Audio Audio Encoding G711A Audio Type MIC Save

Three video streams can be adjustable.

• Resolution: The higher the resolution is, the clearer the image is.
- Frame rate: The higher the frame rate is, the more fluency the video is. However, more storage room will be taken up.
- Bitrate type: Including CBR and VBR. CBR means that no matter how changeable the video resources are, the compression bitrate keeps constant. This will not only facilitate the image quality better in a constant bitrate but also help to calculate the capacity of

the recording. VBR means that the compression bitrate can be adjustable according to the change of the video resources. This will help to optimize the network bandwidth.

• Bitrate: Please choose it according to the actual network situation.
• Video Quality: When VBR is selected, you need to choose image quality. The higher the image quality you choose, the more bitrate will be required.
• I Frame interval: It is recommended to use the default value. If the value is over high, the read speed of the group of pictures will be slow resulting in the quality loss of the video.
• Video Compression: H264 and H265 are optional. Higher quality of image can be transferred under limited network bandwidth by using H265 video encoding, however, higher quality of the hardware is required.
• Profile: Baseline, main/high profiles are optional. Baseline profile is mainly used in interactive application with low complexity and delay. Main/high profile is mainly used for higher coding requirement.
• Send Snapshot: Please select it according to the actual situation.
• Video encode slice split: If enabled, you may get more fluency image even though using the low-performance PC.
• Watermark: If enabled, input the watermark content. You may check the watermark when playing back the local record in the search interface, lest the record files is tampered.
  • Audio Encoding: G711A and G711U are selectable.
  • Audio Type: MIC and LIN are selectable.

6.2.3 OSD Configuration

※ Application Scenario Illustration

1. Auto-focusing function should not been enabled for intrusion detection. If enabled, the

video image will change so greatly that the algorithm will stop working temporarily.

1. Try not to enable intrusion detection when light changes greatly in the scene.
2. Try to install the camera at a certain angle of depression.
3. Adequate light and clear scenery are very important to intrusion detection.
4. Adjust the camera to make the detection area in the center of the video image. The detected object should be in the detection area for about two seconds at least. Make sure no obstructions are in the main crossing area. It is strongly recommended to make the obstructions (like trees, bushes, flags, etc.) outside the detection area.
5. Please contact us for more detailed application scenarios.

Here we take some improper application scenarios for instance.

Exterior view of a traditional-style building with tiled roof and stone gate, surrounded by trees and greenery (no signage)

The camera's angle of depression is not wide enough; there are so many trees in the scene. The above mentioned environment is too complex to detect the intrusion.

Exterior view of a concrete fence with utility poles and trees along the road, no visible text or symbols

The camera's angle of depression is not wide enough; the street lamps at night lead to light interference; the swaying trees in a windy day lead to random interference. All the above mentioned factors make the scene improper for intrusion detection.
