Installation

This section provides information on how to install the cameras.

Installation environment

When installing your product, consider these factors:

• Electrical: Install electrical wiring carefully. It should be done by qualified service personnel. Always use a proper PoE switch or a 12 VDC UL listed Class 2 or CE certified power supply to power the camera. Do not overload the power cord or adapter.
• Ventilation: Ensure that the location planned for the installation of the camera is well ventilated.
• Temperature: Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature, humidity or power source ratings. The operating temperature of the camera without heater is between -30 to +60°C (-22 to 140°F). Humidity is below 90%. For the outdoor cameras have built-in heaters, the operating temperature range is -40°C to 60°C(-40°F to 140°F)
• Moisture: Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture, or try to operate it in wet areas. Turn the power off

immediately if the camera is wet and ask a qualified service person for servicing. Moisture can damage the camera and also create the danger of electric shock.

- Servicing: Do not attempt to service this camera yourself. Any attempt to dismantle or remove the covers from this product will invalidate the warranty and may also result in serious injury. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

- Cleaning: Do not touch the sensor modules with fingers. If cleaning is necessary, use a clean cloth with some ethanol and wipe the camera gently. If the camera will not be used for an extended period of time, put on the lens cap to protect the sensors from dirt.

Package contents

Check the package and contents for visible damage. If any components are damaged or missing, do not attempt to use the unit; contact the supplier immediately. If the unit is returned, it must be shipped back in its original packaging.

Setting up the camera

Note: If the light source where the camera is installed experiences rapid, wide-variations in lighting, the camera may not operate as intended.

To quickly put the camera into operation:

1. Prepare the mounting surface.
   2 Mount the camera on the mounting surface using the appropriate fasteners. See “Mounting the bullet camera” on page 19.
2. Set up the camera's network and streaming parameters so that the camera can be controlled over the network. For further information, please refer to the “TruVision 12/32 series IP Camera Configuration Manual”.
3. Program the camera to suit its location. For further information, please refer to the "TruVision 12/32 series IP Camera Configuration Manual".

IR illuminators

The camera's built-in IR illumination provides high-quality video in low-light environments, even when there is no other illumination available.

You can configure the IR illumination using a web browser or a client software. If the function is enabled, the IR light is On when the camera enters night (black and white) mode. If disabled, the IR light is always Off.

The visible IR range may vary due to multiple factors, such as weather, IR reflection rate of viewing objects, lens adjustment, and camera settings. Please refer to the camera datasheet for the standard IR range.

Note: Avoid installing the IR camera closely facing a tree or wall. The reflection will cause over-exposure and lose visibility of detail in field of view.

Accessing the SD card

Insert a Micro SD card with up to 64GB for local storage as a backup in case, for example, the network fails (see Figure 1 on page 13). The card is not supplied with the camera.

For the IP VF mini dome and outdoor dome cameras, point the lens vertically upwards to access the SD card slot.

Video and log files stored on the Micro SD card can only be accessed via the web browser. You cannot access the card using TruVision Navigator or a recording device.

Note: When using the SD card slot of the bullet camera, make sure that the lens cover is screwed back correctly on the camera.

Mounting the bullet camera

Mount the camera on a ceiling or wall.

To mount the bullet camera:

1. Use the supplied template to mark out the mounting area. Drill the screw holes on the ceiling or wall. If you need to route the cables from the camera base, drill a cable hole in the ceiling or wall.
2. Secure the back box to the ceiling or wall with the supplied screws.

Installation Guide 19

1. Hook the camera to the back box with the safety cable. Use the screws to fix the camera to the back box.

Mounting the VF dome camera

To mount the VF dome camera on a ceiling or wall:

1. Loosen the three screws on the edge of the lower dome with a wrench.

1. Open the lower dome and remove the black inner liner.

1. Using the drill template, drill three holes in the mounting surface.
