6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Network Configuration
Access the "Network" section in the camera's web interface to configure network settings, including service ports for ONVIF, HTTP, RTSP, and other protocols. Ensure ports are correctly configured for your network environment.
6.2 Intelligent Detection (AI Functions)
The camera supports advanced AI functions such as human, car, and motorcycle detection. You can enable these features and define specific detection areas within the "Event" -> "Intelligent Detect" section of the web interface. Configure trigger actions like recording or snapshots.
6.3 RTMP Streaming
To enable RTMP streaming, navigate to the "Network" -> "RTMP" section. Enable the feature, select the protocol type (Standard or Compatible), and configure the server, port, app name, and stream ID according to your streaming service provider's requirements. The default RTMP port is 1935.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Gently clean the lens and module surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Firmware Updates: Periodically check the manufacturer's website for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security. Follow the provided instructions carefully when updating firmware.
- Environmental Conditions: Ensure the camera operates within the specified temperature and humidity ranges (-30°C ~85°C, Humidity≤90%RH non-condensing) to prevent damage.
8. Troubleshooting
- No Image/Video:
- Check power supply (DC12V) and network cable connections.
- Verify the camera's IP address and network settings.
- Ensure the correct lens is attached and focused.
- Cannot Access Web Interface:
- Confirm the camera is powered on and connected to the network.
- Check if the PC and camera are on the same network segment.
- Verify the IP address and port settings.
- Try resetting the camera to factory defaults (if applicable and accessible).
- Ensure the correct username (admin) and password (123456) are used.
- RTMP Streaming Issues:
- Double-check RTMP server, port, app name, and stream ID configurations.
- Ensure your network allows outbound connections on the specified RTMP port (default 1935).
9. User Tips
- Password Security: Change the default password (123456) immediately after initial setup to a strong, unique password to enhance security.
- RTC (Real-Time Clock): While the specifications do not explicitly list a built-in RTC, the OSD supports time display, implying time synchronization capabilities, likely via NTP. For critical timekeeping, ensure NTP is configured correctly.
- SD Card Support: Although the main specification table indicates "Unsupport" for storage, the product properties mention "TF card slot: yes". It is advisable to check the physical module for a TF (MicroSD) card slot and consult the latest documentation or manufacturer for clarification on local storage capabilities.
10. Warranty and Support
