5. Setup
5.1. Installation
The LNO-6012R camera is designed for outdoor installation. Select a mounting location that provides the desired field of view and is structurally sound to support the camera's weight. The camera's IP66 rating ensures protection against dust and water ingress.
- Mark the drilling points on the mounting surface using the provided template or the camera's base.
- Drill pilot holes and insert wall anchors if necessary.
- Secure the camera's mounting bracket to the surface using the supplied screws.
- Adjust the camera's angle and orientation for optimal coverage.
5.2. Wiring
The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing both power and data transmission over a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies wiring and installation.
- Connect a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable from a PoE-enabled switch or injector to the camera's RJ45 port.
- Ensure the waterproof cap is properly installed over the RJ45 connector to maintain the IP66 rating.
- Verify that the network connection is active and the PoE source is providing power.

5.3. Initial Configuration
After physical installation and wiring, access the camera's web interface for initial network configuration and settings adjustment.
- Use a network scanner tool to discover the camera's IP address on your local network.
- Open a web browser and enter the camera's IP address.
- Log in using the default credentials (refer to the Quick Start Guide for default username and password).
- Change the default password immediately for security purposes.
- Configure network settings (e.g., static IP, DNS) as required by your network environment.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Basic Operation
Once configured, the camera streams video over the network. You can view live footage and access recordings through a compatible Network Video Recorder (NVR), Video Management Software (VMS), or directly via the camera's web interface.
- Live View: Access the camera's web interface or VMS to view real-time video.
- Day/Night Mode: The camera automatically switches between color (day) and monochrome (night) modes based on ambient light, utilizing its IR LEDs for illumination in low-light conditions up to 30 meters.
- Recording: Configure recording schedules and events via the web interface or VMS. Recordings can be stored on an NVR, VMS server, or the camera's local Micro SD/SDHC card (up to 32GB).
6.2. Advanced Features
The LNO-6012R offers several advanced features to enhance surveillance capabilities:
- Motion Detection: Configure specific areas within the camera's view to trigger alerts or recordings when motion is detected.
- Tampering Detection: The camera can detect attempts to obstruct or redirect its view, triggering an alarm.
- WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): This feature balances exposure in scenes with both very bright and very dark areas, ensuring details are visible across the entire image.
- Hallway View: Optimizes the video stream for vertically oriented areas like corridors, maximizing coverage and reducing bandwidth usage.
- WiseStream II: An advanced compression technology that dynamically controls encoding, reducing data size by up to 99% compared to current H.264 technology when combined with H.265, or up to 75% with H.264, without compromising image quality.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your camera.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the camera lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Firmware Updates: Check the Hanwha Techwin website for the latest firmware updates. Keeping the firmware updated ensures access to new features, performance improvements, and security patches.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect the Ethernet cable and connections for any signs of wear or damage, especially in outdoor environments.
8. Troubleshooting
Refer to the following table for common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to camera | PoE switch/injector off or faulty; cable disconnected or damaged. | Check PoE power source. Verify Ethernet cable connection. Test with a known good cable. |
| No video feed | Network connectivity issue; incorrect IP address; camera not configured. | Verify network connection. Confirm camera's IP address. Ensure camera is properly configured in VMS/NVR. |
| Poor image quality | Dirty lens; improper focus (though fixed lens, check for obstructions); low light conditions. | Clean the lens. Ensure sufficient lighting or proper IR operation. Adjust image settings in the web interface. |
| Cannot access web interface | Incorrect IP address; network firewall blocking access; browser compatibility. | Confirm IP address. Check network settings and firewall rules. Try a different web browser. |
