2. Power and Network Connection

This camera primarily powers via Power over Ethernet (POE). Connect the camera to an 802.3AF Standard 48V POE Switch using a Cat5/6 Ethernet cable. This single cable provides both power and network connectivity.

Alternatively, the camera has an auxiliary power connector and can be powered by a 12V/2A power adapter (not included) if a POE switch is not available.

3. Initial Configuration via Web Browser

To access the camera's web interface for configuration, ensure your computer is on the same network as the camera. The camera's default IP address is 192.168.1.108. Open a web browser (Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and enter this IP address into the URL bar.

The default username is admin and the default password is admin123. It is highly recommended to change the default password immediately after the first login for security purposes.

4. Connecting to Smartphone App (TSEYE)

For remote viewing and control, download the "TSEYE" app from your smartphone's app store (available for iPhone and Android). Follow the in-app instructions to add your camera using its serial number or by searching for local devices.

5. Connecting to NVR (Network Video Recorder)

The camera is ONVIF compliant (Port: 8088) and can be integrated with compatible Network Video Recorders (NVRs). Ensure your NVR supports 5MP resolution for optimal performance. If your NVR does not support 5MP, you may need to lower the camera's resolution to 1080P (2MP) via the web interface to ensure compatibility.

Operating the Camera

1. Live View and Playback

Access live video streams and recorded footage through the web interface or the TSEYE smartphone app. The web interface provides options for real-time preview and playback of recorded files.

2. Resolution and Encoding Settings

The camera supports H.265 and H.264 compression formats. H.265 offers more efficient storage and bandwidth usage. You can adjust the resolution (up to 2880x1620P for 5MP) and frame rate (up to 20fps) via the configuration settings in the web interface to suit your network and storage requirements.

4. Manual Zoom Lens Adjustment

The 6-22mm manual zoom lens allows you to adjust the field of view. A larger lens setting (e.g., 22mm) provides a narrower field of view but allows you to see further, while a smaller setting (e.g., 6mm) provides a wider field of view but for closer distances. Adjust the lens by rotating the focus and definition rings on the camera body until the desired clarity and zoom level are achieved.
