What's in the Box

Upon opening the package, please verify that all the following components are included:

• Camera Body (PROVISION ISR DAI+280IP5S36)
• Instruction Manual

Note: Additional mounting hardware or power adapters may be required depending on your specific installation scenario and are sold separately unless specified.

Setup and Installation

Mounting the Camera

The DAI+280IP5S36 camera is designed for ceiling mount installation. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the camera's weight (approximately 1.6 pounds or 0.73 kg).

1. Choose a suitable location for optimal surveillance coverage, considering the 94-degree viewing angle.
2. Use the provided mounting template (if applicable, refer to the physical manual) to mark drilling points for the screw-in installation.
3. Drill pilot holes and secure the camera base to the mounting surface using appropriate screws.
4. Adjust the camera's 3-axis mechanism to achieve the desired viewing angle.

Connectivity and Power

This camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified installation, allowing both power and data transmission over a single Ethernet cable. It also has options for separate power and audio input.

• PoE Connection: Connect an Ethernet cable from a PoE-enabled NVR or PoE switch to the camera's RJ-45 port. This will provide both power and network connectivity.
• Separate Power: If PoE is not used, connect a 12V DC power adapter (not included) to the camera's power input port. The camera consumes approximately 6 watts.
• Audio Input: Connect an external microphone (not included) to the audio input port if audio recording is desired.

Once connected, the camera will power on and attempt to obtain an IP address from your network. Refer to your NVR or network configuration guide for initial setup and IP address assignment.

Operating the Camera

NVR Integration and Remote Access

The PROVISION ISR DAI+280IP5S36 camera is designed for seamless integration with compatible NVR systems. It supports standard protocols like ONVIF for broad compatibility.

• Adding to NVR: Follow your NVR's instructions to add a new IP camera. The camera's IP address can typically be discovered automatically by the NVR or manually configured.
• Remote Viewing: Access live footage and recorded video via the NVR's mobile application (Android compatible) or through the camera's web interface on a PC. Ensure your network is configured for remote access (e.g., port forwarding, P2P cloud service).

Video Features and Settings

• 8MP Resolution: The camera captures video at 8-megapixel resolution, providing high detail.
• Night Vision: The infrared (IR) illuminators provide clear black-and-white video up to 15 meters (approximately 49 feet) in total darkness.
• H.265+ Compression: This advanced video compression technology reduces file sizes significantly, optimizing storage space and bandwidth usage without compromising video quality.
• Smart Motion Detection: Configure motion detection zones and sensitivity through the NVR or camera's web interface. The camera can detect human movement and trigger alerts.
• WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): Improves image quality in scenes with both very bright and very dark areas.
• 3D-DNR (Digital Noise Reduction): Reduces image noise, especially in low-light conditions, for clearer video.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PROVISION ISR camera.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the camera lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surface.
• Weather Protection: The camera has an IP67 (or IP66 as per specifications) international protection rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and powerful water jets. While designed for outdoor use, avoid directing high-pressure water streams directly at the camera.
• Firmware Updates: Check the PROVISION ISR official website or your NVR manufacturer's website for any available firmware updates. Keeping the firmware updated can improve performance, add features, and enhance security.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect all cables (Ethernet, power, audio) for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion, especially for outdoor installations.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your camera, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Image/Offline:
  • Verify power supply to the camera (PoE or separate adapter).
  • Check Ethernet cable connection at both the camera and NVR/switch.
  • Ensure the camera's IP address is correct and not conflicting with other devices on the network.
  • Restart the camera and NVR.
• Poor Image Quality:
  • Clean the camera lens.
  • Check network bandwidth; insufficient bandwidth can cause choppy or low-quality video.
  • Adjust camera settings (e.g., resolution, bitrate, WDR) via the web interface or NVR.
• Night Vision Issues:
  • Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the IR illuminators.
  • Check if the IR cut filter is switching correctly (you might hear a click when light conditions change).
• Motion Detection Not Working:
  • Verify motion detection settings and sensitivity in the NVR or camera's web interface.
  • Ensure motion detection zones are correctly configured.

For more complex issues, consult the detailed troubleshooting section in your NVR's manual or contact PROVISION ISR technical support.
