4.2 Powering the Camera

The camera supports two power methods:

• Power over Ethernet (POE): Connect the camera's RJ45 port to a standard 802.3af 48V POE switch using an Ethernet cable. This provides both power and data connectivity.
• Auxiliary Power: If POE is not available, connect a 12V 2A DC power adapter (not included) to the auxiliary power port. Then, connect the RJ45 port to your network router or switch for data.

Important: Ensure your POE switch provides 48V 802.3af standard power. Using an incorrect power source may damage the camera.

4.3 Network Configuration

Upon initial connection to your network, the camera will typically obtain an IP address dynamically via DHCP. For advanced configurations or if using an NVR, you may need to access the camera's web interface or use dedicated software.

• NVR Integration: For NVR systems, the camera supports ONVIF. The default ONVIF port is 6688. If your NVR requires a different port, you may need to adjust settings within your NVR software.
• RTSP Stream: The camera provides an RTSP stream for integration with various video management systems (VMS). The default RTSP port is 8554.

4.4 App and Software Installation

To manage and view your camera remotely, install the recommended software:

• Mobile App: Download the "NVSEE Int 'I" app from your smartphone's app store (available for iOS and Android).
• PC Software: For Windows computers, use the CMS software. A download card is included in the package, or you may need to contact customer support for the latest download link. Note: This software is not compatible with MAC OS or Linux.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the camera lens and body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

• Temperature: The camera operates within a temperature range of -25°C to 60°C. Avoid exposing the camera to extreme temperatures outside this range.
• Heat Dissipation: It is normal for the camera to feel warm during operation, especially due to its compact size and metal casing. This is a normal characteristic and does not indicate a malfunction.

7. Troubleshooting
