REVOTECH Mini Security IP Camera I706-2 User Manual

1. Introduction

The REVOTECH Mini Security IP Camera (Model I706-2) is a compact, high-resolution surveillance device designed for indoor use. This manual provides essential information for setting up, operating, and maintaining your camera.

Important Considerations:

• A 12V/2A power supply is required and is not included with this product.
• The camera defaults to 3MP resolution and H.265 encoding. If your Network Video Recorder (NVR) does not support these specifications, the camera can be configured to 1080P (2MP) and H.264.
• Due to its compact design, the camera may generate heat during operation. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

4. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your REVOTECH Mini Security IP Camera:

1. Power Connection: Connect a 12V/2A DC power supply (not included) to the camera's power input port.
2. Network Connection: Connect the camera to your network router or NVR using a standard Ethernet cable via the RJ45 port.
3. Initial Configuration:
   • Use a camera searching utility or check your router's connected devices list to identify the camera's assigned IP address.
   • Access the camera's web interface by entering its IP address into a web browser. The default username is typically "admin" with no initial password. You will be prompted to set a new, strong password for security.
   • For NVR integration, ensure the ONVIF port is configured to 6688 and the RTSP port to 8554 in your NVR or surveillance software settings. These ports may require manual adjustment in some systems.
   • If your NVR does not support 3MP resolution or H.265 encoding, adjust the camera's resolution to 1080P (2MP) and encoding to H.264 within the camera's web interface settings.

5. Operation

Once set up, you can operate your camera using the following methods:

1. Remote Access (Smartphone): Download and install the "NVSEE Int 'I" application from your device's app store (available for iOS and Android). Follow the in-app instructions to add your camera for remote live viewing, recording, and playback.
2. Remote Access (Computer): Install the CMS software on a Windows computer. This software provides comprehensive control, including remote viewing, recording management, and advanced camera configuration. (Note: The CMS software is not compatible with MAC OS or Linux operating systems).
3. Motion Detection: Configure motion detection settings and email alarm functions through the camera's web interface or CMS software to receive immediate alerts upon detecting activity.
4. Live View and Playback: Access real-time video feeds and review recorded footage conveniently through the smartphone application or CMS software.

6. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your camera, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Keep the camera lens clean using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the lens.
• Ensure the camera is installed in a location protected from direct exposure to extreme weather conditions, as it is designed for indoor use.
• Regularly check all cable connections (power and Ethernet) to ensure they are secure and free from damage.
• Periodically check for firmware updates from the manufacturer's website to enhance performance and security.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues and their solutions:

• Camera is hot during operation: This is normal for the compact design and does not affect performance or safety. The metal casing helps dissipate heat.
• NVR/Software Compatibility Issues: If your NVR or surveillance software (e.g., Blue Iris) has difficulty connecting, verify the camera's ONVIF port is set to 6688 and RTSP port to 8554. Adjust camera resolution and encoding (1080P/H.264) if your system does not support 3MP/H.265.
• Software Download Link Inactive: If the provided software download link in the manual is inactive, contact REVOTECH customer support for an updated link or alternative download options.
• Web Interface Display Problems: Older web interfaces may not function correctly with modern browsers like Microsoft Edge. Try using a different browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) or the dedicated CMS software for configuration.
• Unwanted Internet Connection Attempts: If the camera attempts to connect to the internet despite disabled settings, review network configurations within the camera's GUI. If internet access is not required for your setup, consider isolating the camera on a local network segment.
• No Video/Connection:
  • Verify the 12V/2A power supply is connected and functional.
  • Check the Ethernet cable connection for security and integrity.
  • Confirm the camera's IP address and network settings are correct and within your network's range.
  • Ensure no firewall rules on your router or computer are blocking communication with the camera.
  • If issues persist, a factory reset may be necessary. Consult the full user manual (if available) for the specific procedure, as no physical reset button is explicitly mentioned.
