2. Setup
2.1 Package Contents
Please check the package contents upon receipt to ensure all items are present:
- ASECAM 8MP 4K IP Camera
- Mounting Screws
- Waterproof Connector for Cable
- User Manual (this document)
- (Optional: Power Adapter if not using PoE)
2.2 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Connection
The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing a single Ethernet cable to provide both power and data transmission. This simplifies wiring for DIY enthusiasts and beginners.
- Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the camera's network port.
- Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a PoE Switch or PoE NVR.
- Ensure the PoE Switch/NVR is connected to your router via another Ethernet cable.
- If using a PoE Switch, ensure it is powered on. If using a PoE NVR, ensure it is powered on.

2.3 Non-PoE Connection (Requires 12V Power Adapter)
If your network setup does not support PoE, you will need a 12V power adapter (not included) to power the camera.
- Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the camera's network port.
- Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your router.
- Connect a 12V power adapter to the camera's power input.
- Plug the power adapter into a power outlet.

2.4 Mobile App Installation
To access your camera remotely, download the XMEye Pro app:
- Android: Search for "XMEye Pro" on Google Play Store.
- iOS: Search for "XMEye Pro" on Apple App Store.
- PC/Mac: Download the VMS software from the official ASECAM website (www.xmeye.net).

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Remote Viewing via XMEye Pro App
Once the camera is connected to your network and the XMEye Pro app is installed:
- Open the XMEye Pro app.
- Scan the QR code on your camera or manually add the device using its ID.
- Log in to your account.
- Access live video streams and recorded footage from anywhere.

3.2 AI Face Detection
The camera supports advanced AI face detection. When used with a compatible ASECAM NVR, the camera can detect faces in the video feed and send notifications to your XMEye Pro app. This feature also allows for smart video filtering, making it easier to playback footage based on detected faces.

3.3 Human Body Motion Detection
The camera's AI Human Detection feature distinguishes human movement from other objects like leaves, animals, or insects, significantly reducing false alarms. This ensures you only receive relevant alerts.

3.4 Customizable Motion Detection Events
You can configure various motion detection settings to suit your surveillance needs, including:
- Human Body Detection: Focuses on human shapes.
- Line Crossing Detection: Triggers an alert when an object crosses a predefined virtual line.
- Intrusion Detection: Alerts when an object enters a specified area.
- Specific Region Detection: Monitors activity within a custom-defined zone.
When motion is detected, the NVR will save the footage, and messages will be pushed to your phone app. You can also set a motion detection "mask" to exclude areas with constant, irrelevant movement.

3.5 Night Vision
The camera provides high-quality night vision up to 100ft (30-50 meters). Infrared lights enable clear viewing in low-light conditions or complete darkness, ensuring continuous security coverage.

3.6 Video Enhancement Features
- HDR (High Dynamic Range): Automatically adjusts picture brightness to capture important details in varying lighting conditions, from bright highlights to deep shadows.
- 3DNR (Digital Noise Reduction): Filters out noise in low-light settings and motion-induced noise, providing a cleaner, sharper image and reducing video file sizes.

3.7 Video Compression
The camera utilizes advanced H.265 video compression, which offers better image quality at a lower bit rate compared to H.264. This reduces file sizes by 40-50%, saving storage space on your NVR or other recording devices.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
- Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth to ensure clear image quality.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the lens or housing.
4.2 Environmental Protection
The ASECAM IP Camera is designed for durability:
- IP67 Waterproof: The camera is protected against dust and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. It is suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions, including rain and snow.
- IK10 Vandal-Proof: The camera's robust metal housing provides protection against significant impact, making it resistant to vandalism and accidental damage.

5. Troubleshooting
- No Image/Video Feed:
- Check all cable connections (Ethernet, power).
- Ensure the camera is receiving power (if not PoE, check 12V adapter).
- Verify network connectivity to the camera and your viewing device.
- Restart the camera and your router/NVR.
- AI Features (Face Detection, Human Detection) Not Working:
- Ensure you are using a compatible ASECAM NVR for full AI functionality.
- Check the settings in the XMEye Pro app or VMS software to ensure AI features are enabled and configured correctly.
- Frequent False Alarms:
- Adjust the motion detection sensitivity settings in the app/software.
- Utilize the motion detection "mask" feature to exclude areas with irrelevant movement (e.g., swaying trees, busy roads).
- Poor Night Vision Quality:
- Ensure the camera lens is clean.
- Check for any obstructions blocking the infrared lights.
- Verify that there are no strong light sources directly facing the camera at night, which can cause overexposure.
