Setup

1. Physical Installation

The camera can be mounted on a ceiling or wall. Use the provided mounting template (if included) or the camera base to mark drill holes. Secure the camera using the supplied screws and wall plugs.

Operating

1. Accessing the Camera

2. Video & Audio Settings

The camera supports 5MP HD video resolution (2592x1944) at 25 frames per second. It utilizes H.265/H.264 compression for efficient storage and bandwidth usage. The built-in microphone provides one-way audio recording, capturing clear voice and filtering environmental noise.

Maintenance

1. Firmware Updates

Periodically check the Anpviz website for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and access to the latest features. Firmware updates can typically be performed using the SearchTool software or through the camera's web interface.

To maintain clear image quality, regularly clean the camera lens using a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could scratch the lens.

3. Checking Connections

Ensure all cable connections, especially the Ethernet cable, are secure and free from damage. For outdoor installations, verify that the waterproof lid is properly sealed to prevent moisture ingress.

Troubleshooting

• No Video: Check the power supply and Ethernet cable connection. Ensure the camera's LED indicator is lit. Verify the IP address configuration using the SearchTool.
• Network Connectivity Problems: Confirm your network settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway). Ensure the camera is within the same network segment as your viewing device.
• Motion Detection Not Triggering: Review the motion detection area settings and sensitivity in the camera's web interface or app. Ensure alerts are configured correctly.
