4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Safety Precautions
- Ensure power is disconnected before installation or maintenance.
- Use only approved power adapters (DC 12V) or PoE switches.
- Avoid pointing the camera directly at strong light sources.
- Do not disassemble the camera. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
4.2 Physical Installation
- Choose a Mounting Location: Select a location that provides the desired field of view and is within range of your network and power source. The camera is IP67 rated for outdoor use.
- Prepare the Surface: Use the provided drill template (if included) to mark the screw holes on the wall or ceiling. Drill pilot holes.
- Mount the Camera: Secure the camera base to the mounting surface using the provided screws and wall plugs.
- Adjust Camera Angle: Loosen the adjustment screws on the camera body to position the lens for optimal coverage. Tighten the screws once the desired angle is achieved. The camera features 3-axis adjustment.
4.3 Network and Power Connection
The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE/ePoE) or a 12V DC power supply.
- Ethernet Connection:
Figure 4.1: Standard Ethernet Cable. This image shows a blue Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors, used for network and Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity.
- Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the camera's RJ45 port.
- If using PoE, connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a PoE-enabled switch or NVR.
- If not using PoE, connect the other end to a standard network switch/router and proceed to connect a 12V DC power adapter to the camera's power input.
- Use the provided waterproof connector for outdoor installations to protect the Ethernet connection.
- Power Connection (if not using PoE):
- Connect a 12V DC power adapter (not included) to the camera's power input port.
- Ensure the power source meets the camera's specifications.
4.4 Initial Network Configuration
After connecting the camera to your network, you will need to discover and activate it.
- Install SADP Tool: Download and install the SADP (Search Active Device Protocol) tool from the manufacturer's website on a computer connected to the same network as the camera.
- Discover Camera: Run the SADP tool. It will automatically detect all active LTS IP devices on your local network.
- Activate Camera: New cameras are inactive by default. Select the camera from the SADP list and set a strong password for it. This activates the camera.
- Modify IP Address (Optional): If your network requires a static IP address, you can modify it using the SADP tool. Ensure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway are correct for your network.
- Access via Web Browser: Open a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) and enter the camera's IP address in the address bar. Log in using the password you set during activation.
