Setup
1. Physical Installation
- Choose a Location: Select an outdoor location that provides the desired viewing angle and is within range of your network and power source (if not using POE). The camera is designed for wall mounting.
- Mounting: Use the included screws and bracket to securely mount the camera to a wall or suitable surface. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the camera's weight.
- Adjust Angle: Loosen the adjustment screws on the camera bracket to set the desired viewing angle. Tighten the screws once the angle is set.
2. Connectivity
The camera supports Power over Ethernet (POE) for simplified installation, requiring only one Ethernet cable for both power and data. Alternatively, it can be powered via the DC port.
- POE Connection: Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the camera's POE port and the other end to a POE-enabled switch or POE injector.
- DC Power (Alternative): If not using POE, connect the included power adapter to the camera's DC port and plug it into a power outlet. Then, connect an Ethernet cable from the camera's POE port to your network router or switch.
- Network Configuration: The camera is ONVIF conformant and can be integrated with various NVR systems or PC clients. For initial setup, it is recommended to connect the camera to your network and use the provided software or app.
3. Software and App Installation
