3. Setup and Installation

3.1. Mounting the Camera

The HANWHA QNO-8010R is designed for wall mount installation. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the camera's weight.

1. Choose a suitable location for optimal surveillance coverage, considering power and network cable access.
2. Use the provided mounting template (if applicable) to mark drill holes on the wall.
3. Drill pilot holes and insert wall anchors if necessary.
4. Secure the camera's mounting bracket to the wall using the supplied screws.
5. Adjust the camera's angle for the desired field of view.

3.2. Power and Network Connection

The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) or a 12V DC power supply.

• Ethernet Connection (RJ45): Connect an Ethernet cable from your network switch (preferably PoE-enabled) to the camera's RJ45 port. If using a non-PoE switch, ensure a 12V DC power adapter is connected to the camera.
• Wi-Fi Connection: If your model supports Wi-Fi, refer to the camera's web interface for wireless setup after initial wired connection.
• Ensure all connections are secure and weatherproofed, especially for outdoor installations.

3.3. Initial Configuration

1. Once powered and connected to the network, the camera will obtain an IP address (usually via DHCP).
2. Use the manufacturer's IP discovery tool or your network router to find the camera's IP address.
3. Open a web browser and enter the camera's IP address to access its web interface.
4. Log in using the default credentials (refer to the Quick Start Guide or manufacturer's website for default username/password). It is highly recommended to change the default password immediately for security.
5. Follow the on-screen prompts to set up basic network settings, date/time, and video parameters.

4. Operation

4.1. Live View and Recording

Access the camera's web interface or a compatible Network Video Recorder (NVR) / Video Management Software (VMS) to view live video feeds and manage recordings.
