- Network Port

Connect a network cable with an RJ-45 connector to this port. If using a PoE switch, you can supply power to the camera using an ethernet cable. For more information on PoE switch use, refer to the switch manufacturer's operation manual. You can configure, manage, and upgrade this camera and monitor its images from a remote computer over the network. For more information on network connection setup, refer to the INIT operation manual.

The table below shows the network cable specifications. (The network cable specifications>

• Video Out (BNC)

Connect the monitor. Use these ports for previewing video and not monitoring video.

• Power In

Connect to the power adapter (12 VDC).

• FGND (Frame Ground)

Used to ground the device.

- Audio In

Connect an audio source to this port. (line in)

- Audio Out

Connect an amplifier to this port (line out). This device does not feature a built-in audio amplifier unit and therefore requires the user to purchase a separate speaker system with a built-in amplifier.

- Alarm in

Connect an alarm-in device to this port. Connect a mechanical or electrical switch to the IN and GND (ground) connectors. Alarm in range is 0V to 5V. In order to detect alarm input from an electrical switch, the signal must be higher than 4.3V from an NC switch or less than 0.3V from an NO switch and must last for longer than 0.5 seconds.

- Alarm Out

It is the BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) - open collector output. If the voltage and current exceed the specification limit (max. load: 30mA, max. voltage: 5VDC), the product could be damaged. When connecting the device which exceeds the specification limit, refer to the picture (circuit) below

If used with an external inductive load(e.g. relay), a diode must be connected in parallel with the load for protection. Otherwise, the product could be damaged.

• Check your local laws and regulations on making video or audio recordings. The user will be held liable for any violation of the law.
• When switching over from 12 VDC to PoE as the power source, the system will be rebooted once the power adapter is disconnected.
• Organize the power cable so that it will not cause people to trip over or become damaged from chairs, cabinets, desks, and other objects in the vicinity. Do not run the power cable underneath carpet or a rug or plug the cable into a power outlet shared by a number of other devices.
• Wrap the camera-end of the network cable twice around the provided ferrite core to subdue electromagnetic wave generation.

Ferrite Core LAN Cable

- The network connector is not designed to be connected directly with cable or wire intended for outdoor use.

Factory Reset

Only use the factory reset button to restore the camera to its factory default settings.

A factory reset will clear all camera settings configured by the user.

1 Shut off the power supply.
2 Remove the SD memory card slot cover.
3 Press and hold the reset button down
4 Hold the button down and reconnect the power adapter.
5 Once the device turns back on, wait 5 seconds, and then release the reset button.
6 The device will go through the resetting process and reboot. All camera settings will be restored to their factory defaults after the reboot.

It's also possible to do a factory reset by pressing and releasing the reset button while the camera is turned on or using the INIT program from a remote location. A factory reset will reboot the system. For more information on factory reset, refer to the INIT operation manual.

Installation

Installation of this product does not require the use of special tools.
