1. Camera Introduction

The IN-9008 is the newest indoor Full HD PIR Outdoor IP Camera from INSTAR. With a built-in state-of-the-art Panasonic passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor and four separately configurable alarm areas that can be linked together, the camera prevents false alarms and notifies you only when a real alarm has been triggered.

Equipped with one of the latest Panasonic Full HD CMOS image sensor, which features low noise, high speed and new Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) functionality, the IN-9008 is able to achieve the best image quality in daylight as well as clear image in night vision mode with the help of its high-power LEDs. Hence, the IN-9008 is able to deliver accurate motion detection and alarm notification.

The design of this outdoor camera was completely new developed in order to fulfill the wishes of our customers. Therefore it is now possible to insert only the necessary cable as there is no more connection cable with a lot of connectors which might not even be used. Thanks to the new concept design, you are now able, for example, to put only the power cord from the power supply through a small hole on the wall into the camera in case you want to connect the camera via WiFi.

This camera is running an embedded Linux operating system and a Webserver which supports TLS/SSL encryption for security and privacy. It provides a built-in, modern HTML5 based Web User Interface (WebUI) with focus on usability and simplicity, supporting all recent devices (desktop, tablet, smartphone) and operating systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux,...). Thanks to the built-in Camera Setup Wizard and the (built-in) help function, INSTAR users can enjoy a very easy initial set-up of the IP camera.

For your camera installation, please go to:

http://install.instar.com

Please note that this user manual describes both, the WiFi and PoE version of the IN-9008. Therefore some sections in this user manual might only apply to the WiFi and some only to the PoE model. Therefore, the WPS function for example only applies to the WiFi version.

Step 6 You will be greeted with the Camera Setup Wizard. Please follow those steps to finalize the setup process. You can start configurating your camera by using the Web User Interface (WebUI).

6. Smartphone Apps

INSTAR offers free apps for Android, iOS (iPhone / iPad), Blackberry, Amazon-Kindle, Windows Phone and Windows 8.1 / 10 (Metro). To install the app, please search for "InstarVision" on your app store.

InstarVision Your APP STORE Android BlackBerry. amazonkindle iOS Metro UI Windows Phone

The Difference between the App and the Web User Interface (WebUI)

App:

The InstarVision app offers you an easy way to access your camera and view the livestream at any time in any place. Also, it allows you to use the most important settings for every day usage such as alarm activation, alarm recordings playback, switching on/off the night vision, controlling the camera as well as the two-way audio intercom.

The app is not designed for the initial setup of your camera. For the initial setup of INSTAR cameras, please use the Web User Interface (WebUI).

Web User Interface (WebUI):

You can open the WebUI using a modern HTML5 based web browser on your computer. You only need to use the INSTAR Camera Tool to search for your camera's IP address and then open it inside your default web browser.

The WebUI allows you to set up your camera according to your needs. In the WebUI you can, for example, set the alarm areas for software motion detection, and you can also choose to link the motion detection and PIR to prevent false alarms. Once you set this in the WebUI, you can then activate or deactivate the alarm detection in the InstarVision app.

7. Remote Access

The camera supports two ways to remotely access the live video from all over the world using internet connection.

7.1. P2P Protocol

The P2P protocol provides you with a simple and fast way to connect and communicate with your camera, using our InstarVision app, available for all major platforms and devices. It works with any type of internet connection (local and public IPv4/6, mobile data like LTE, 3G, etc.) as no port forwarding is necessary.

a) Install our newest InstarVision app using the app store on your device
b) Open the app, click the “+” symbol and choose New P2P Camera
c) Open your camera's WebUI, navigate to the menu Network -> Remote access and scan the QR code to add your camera

7.2. DDNS Service - HTTP(S) Protocol

The DDNS service provides you with the possibility to directly access your camera remotely via your internet router. Therefore you can use any modern web browser, our InstarVision software/app and/or third party software for communication via the http(s) protocol.

a) Open the WebUI and go to Network -> IP configuration. Provide each camera with a unique HTTP (e.g. 8081, 8082,...), HTTPS (e.g. 443, 444,...) and RTMP Port (e.g. 1935, 1936,...)
b) Access your router and set up port forwarding rules for each port
c) Open the app, click the “+” symbol and choose New IP camera
d) Open your camera's WebUI, navigate to the menu Network -> Remote access and scan the QR Code to add your camera. Please be aware that the DDNS service might not work from your local network - always test with your LTE / data connection.

Please consider that port forwarding only works if your router has a public IPv4 address. For detailed description to port forwarding on your router model and DDNS service in general, please refer to:

http://remote.instar.com

8. Camera Reset

In order to reset your camera, please follow the instructions below:

1. Loosen the four screws on the backplate of your camera and put it aside. (See. Fig.1)
2. You will find a small black reset button next to the MicroSD slot inside the camera. Keep pressing this reset button for 15-20 seconds. Once you release the button, the camera will start the reset process. (See Fig. 2)
3. After the reset, the camera will restart, which can take up to 60 seconds. All data in the camera will be reset to factory defaults. Therefore, please use a network cable or WPS to reconnect the camera to your network. For more information on how to install your camera again, please visit: http://install.instar.com. Once you connect the camera to the network, use the INSTAR Camera Tool to find out the camera's IP address and open the camera's WebUI to start configuring your camera again.

Fig. 1 Keep pressing for 15-20 seconds Fig. 2

9. Lens Adjustment

The IN-9008 Full HD standard lens has a depth of field (also focus range) that is adjusted to a distance of approx. 10 - 15m. In case your area of interest is out of focus, you will have to adjust the lens accordingly.

Slide the top cover towards the front to take it off and loosen the four screws at the front cover of the camera.

Carefully remove the front cover from the main casing and put it aside.

Open the WebUI and check the live video. Turn the lens, until your area of interest is in focus. If you turn the lens clock-wise, the plane of focus moves away from the camera image sensor.

If you turn the lens counter-clockwise, the plane of focus moves towards the camera's image sensor.

After you adjust the focal point, carefully reinstall the front cover to the casing and tighten the screws again. Also slide back the top cover on to the camera.
