Frequently Asked Questions - H8T7M Speco Technologies

How do I switch the video output mode?

Remove the cover of the video switch cable, then press and hold the button for 5 seconds to cycle through AHD, TVI, CVI, and CVBS modes. The camera defaults to HD-TVI.

What is the recommended power supply for the H8T7M?

The camera requires a DC12V (±10%) power supply. Ensure the voltage is correct before use.

How far can the IR illumination reach?

The IR distance is 98 to 164 feet (30 to 50 meters), providing clear night vision.

What is the IP rating of this camera?

The H8T7M has an IP67 rating, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water.

Can I adjust the lens remotely?

No, the lens is motorized but focusing and zoom are adjusted manually via OSD menu using a UTC controller.

How do I access the camera settings?

Use the OSD (On-Screen Display) menu via a UTC (Up-the-Coax) controller connected to the video coax cable.

What should I do if the camera does not work properly?

Contact the dealer or place of purchase. Do not attempt to repair it yourself, as improper operation may void the warranty.

What is the operating temperature range?

The camera can operate between -22°F and 122°F (-30°C to 50°C). Avoid placing it in extremely hot or cold locations.

How do I clean the camera?

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior. Keep away from liquids. If necessary, use a mild cleaning solution on a damp cloth.

What mounting hardware is included?

The package includes screws for mounting the base to the wall or ceiling. A drill template is provided for accurate hole placement.

Introduction

This camera series is the latest technology and advanced circuit design, which features high definition and sensitivity, low noise and distortion and supports HD video transmission with the common coaxial cable, ensuring the requirement of the HD monitoring in the traditional surveillance system.

● High Resolution

Adopt high performance sensor, providing high definition and clear image.

● High Transmission Performance

Real-time transmission with high speed and long distance.

● High Light Compensation (HLC)

Mask and compensation the high light area.

● DNR

Reduce noise from brightness and color signal.

● OSD

Access the camera settings which can be clearly displayed through the main menu.

● White Balance

Adjust the color temperature according to the environment automatically.

- ICR Auto Switch

The filter will filter infrared light during the daytime and change to normal at night to ensure a high sensitivity and clear image.

● AGC

Adjust the gain of amplifier, enabling the camera to output the standard video signal in different lighting condition.

● Backlight Compensation (BLC)

When the back of the captured object is too much bright, you can set BLC for the captured object to make it clearer.

Cables

Video Switch: Four video output modes can be optional--AHD, TVI, CVI and CVBS (a) remove the cover of the video switch cable; (b) hold and press the button in the video switch cable for 5 seconds to switch the current video output.

Installation

Before you start, please make sure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough to withstand three times the weight of the camera. Please install and use the camera in the dry environment.

You'd better install back the lens cover or lower dome less than 4 hours after removing it.

The mounting types of cameras are only for reference.

▶Mounting for H8B7M

1. Drill the screw holes and the cable hole on the wall according to the drill template.

1. Route and connect the cables.

2. Secure the mounting base with camera to the wall with screws as shown below.

1. Bracket adjustment. Before adjustment, preview the image of the camera on a monitor and then loosen the fixed ring to adjust the view angle of the camera. Tighten the fixed ring after the adjustment.

▶ Mounting for H8D7M

1. Attach the drill template to the place where you want to fix the camera and then drill the screw holes and the cable hole on the wall according to the drill template.
2. Rotate the trim ring anticlockwise to remove it from the camera.

1. Loosen the screws to open the lower dome. Then route and connect the cables.

2. Secure the camera to the wall with screws provided as shown below.
