Micro SD card installation
The SD card slot supports only class 6 or higher Micro SD card. To replace a Micro SD card, the device must be powered off. Otherwise, system exception may occur. When aMicro SD card is used for the first time, log in to the web client of the device and formatthe Micro SD card. For details, see the Configuration Guide.
Please refer to figure 2.5, insert the memory card to memory card slot on the rearhousing of the camera. During SD card installation, you are advised to turn the camera maintenance position upward and insert the SD card into the SD card slot from upon to avoid accidentally dropping the SD card into the camera.

Remove the Anti-moisture Sticker
Before mounting the camera onto its install position, please remove the anti moisture sticker in the first place to get the air vent start working

Camera mounting
The suggested mounting height is over 3 meters at least.
The right height and angle of the camera is important to ensure image quality. The figure of the camera is the installation requirements for concept and reference only.

Wall Mount Installation with wall mount stand
Step 1
Use a 5mm drill bit to drill four 35mm deep holes in the positions marked by the drilling sticker. Use a hammer to carefully drive the white plastic expansion tubes into the holes. Then use 2 screws to mount the wall stand onto thewall.

Step 2
Place the camera onto the wall-mount bracket such thread the cables through the hole of the bracket as well as. Then use 2 pairs of screw and nut to mount the camera onto the wall-mount bracke

Step 3:
Loosen the Philips head screws and adjust the camera to the required angle. Thenre-tighten the screws. Finally, fasten the top cover of the camera. (Note. Depending on the usage and the space limitation, the mounting can be done as the two stances shown in the figures.)

Cable connection

For safety precautions

The lightning arrester must be installed and grounded if you install camera outdoor.
Strong and weak current cables must be kept at least 5 cm apart from each other. When connecting the cables to the device, take care to avoid
connecting strong current cables to weak current interfaces or you will damage your device.

The tail of cable must be cut if it cannot pass through the wall, please keep thelabel on tail of cable. And please make sure to use insulating tape and waterproof tape to insulate and waterproof all tail of cable to avoid short circuits and water leakage.
Wrap all pigtail cables in insulated, waterproof, rubber tape to prevent short circuits or water damage.

Power cable connection
Connect the power cable to the device.

Ground cable installation
Please connect ground cable of camera to ground.

Audio and alarm cable installation
Connect the ground cable to ground the device, and then connect the power cable. If crimp terminals are not used, the wire thickness cannot exceed 1.5mm2 , and the length cannot exceed 25m. If crimp terminals are used, the wire can be up to 0.75mm2 for a 15m length of wiring or up to 1.0mm2 if 20m is required. Longer wiring is not supported. The ground impedance cannot exceed 5 ohms.

Cable waterproof and insulation
Waterproof and insulate all cables including power cables, network cables, and unused pigtails.

Wrap one layer of insulation tape around each cable joint.
Stretch the waterproofing tape evenly to twice its original length. Then apply it for three layers from bottom to top, from top to bottom, and from bottom to top again.
Stretch the insulation tape evenly to twice its original length. Then apply it for threelayers from bottom to top, from top to bottom, and from bottom to top again.to up.Finally tie the upper and lower ends with cable ties. Then use cable ties to secure the both ends.
Cover the rest of the cabling in a conduit or with protective waterproof rubber tape. Make a drip loop as shown below to create an artificial lowest point of the cable.

Desiccant Bag Replacement

If the camera is experiencing fogging, you will need to replace the existing desiccant bag (The rectangular object inside the camera frame.

Identification of Desiccant Bag’s Functionality
The remained functionality of the desiccant bag can be identified by the color of the silica gel beads among the desiccant, which are:

Bright Yellow – Dry

Light Green – Some moisture is absorbed

Dark Green – A considerable amount of moisture was absorbed

To replace the desiccant bag, please follow the steps mentioned in the following sections, and the procedures should be done by the engineering staff.

Replace the Desiccant Bag
Step1
Open the housing and the BoxPan of camera and locate the desiccant bag. The desiccant bag will be attached to the inner surface of the BoxPan. (For more information, please refers to the user’s manual of your camera model.)

Step2
Remember the place of desiccant bag and remove it.(Note: Be careful, do not exert any pressure in the camera lens or other components.)

Step3
Open the aluminum foil pack that is included in the camera box. The desiccant bag is included inside it.

Step4
Stick a double-sided tape on desiccant bag. Pull the adhesive tape cover in order to attach the desiccant bag to the camera.
(Note: Some of desiccant bags already stick a double -side tape, so just remove the tape cover then attach the desiccant bag to the housing.)

Step5
Place the desiccant bag to the same place as the old one. Be sure to press it tightly so that it won’t fall after.

Step6.
Put back the BoxPan & housing of the camera as soon as the bag is replaced. (If you leave it open too long, the desiccant bag will start absorbing water from the environment.)

Step7
Be sure the housing is closed tightly
