Setup
1. Physical Installation and Connection
The IPIR-POE camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation by delivering both power and data through a single Ethernet cable. Alternatively, it can be powered by a 12V DC adapter (not included).
- Mounting: Secure the camera to your desired location using the provided mounting screws. Ensure the camera has a clear field of view.
- PoE Connection: Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the camera's RJ45 port and the other end to a PoE-enabled NVR (Network Video Recorder) or a PoE switch.
- Non-PoE Connection (Optional): If not using PoE, connect a 12V DC power adapter (not included) to the camera's power input and an Ethernet cable to a standard network switch or router.
- NVR/Monitor Connection: Connect your PoE NVR to a monitor for local viewing, or ensure your NVR/router is connected to your network for remote access.

2. Software Setup
For initial setup and configuration, REVODATA recommends using the "TSEYE" smartphone application or the VMS software for Windows. The manual included in the camera package contains detailed instructions for software usage.

Operation
1. Motion Detection
The camera features smart PIR motion detection. When movement is detected within the camera's field of view, an alarm notification will be sent to your smartphone via the TSEYE app.
- Configuration: Motion detection settings, including sensitivity and detection zones, can be configured through the TSEYE app or VMS software.
- Notifications: Ensure app notifications are enabled on your smartphone to receive timely alerts.

2. Invisible IR Night Vision
Equipped with 940nm invisible infrared LEDs, the camera provides clear night vision without emitting a visible red glow, enhancing discretion and security. The camera automatically switches between day and night modes based on ambient light conditions.
- Day Mode: Full-color video recording in well-lit conditions.
- Night Mode: Black and white video recording in low-light or dark conditions, utilizing invisible IR illumination up to 15 meters.

3. Remote Access and Monitoring
Access your camera feed and settings remotely using the TSEYE smartphone application or the VMS software on your computer. Ensure your camera is properly connected to a network with internet access.
- Live View: Monitor your premises in real-time from anywhere.
- Playback: Review recorded footage stored on your NVR or local storage.
- Settings: Adjust camera parameters, motion detection, and notification preferences remotely.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth to ensure clear image quality. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website or app for available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect all cables for wear or damage, especially if installed outdoors.
- Environmental Conditions: Ensure the camera operates within its specified temperature and humidity ranges.
Troubleshooting
No Image/Video Feed
- Check Power: Ensure the camera is receiving power. If using PoE, verify the PoE switch/NVR is functioning. If using a 12V DC adapter, ensure it's properly connected and working.
- Check Network Cable: Verify the Ethernet cable is securely connected at both ends and is not damaged.
- Network Connectivity: Confirm that your NVR/router has network access and the camera is properly configured on the network.
- Software: Ensure the TSEYE app or VMS software is correctly installed and configured to connect to the camera.
Poor Image Quality
- Clean Lens: Clean the camera lens to remove dust or smudges.
- Lighting: Ensure adequate lighting during the day. For night vision, confirm IR LEDs are functioning (though invisible, you might see a faint glow from certain angles or with another camera).
- Resolution Settings: Check the camera's resolution settings in the software to ensure it's set to 5MP (2880x1660P).
Motion Detection Not Working
- Enable Feature: Verify that motion detection is enabled in the camera's settings via the TSEYE app or VMS software.
- Sensitivity: Adjust motion detection sensitivity. Too low, and it might miss events; too high, and it might trigger false alarms.
- Detection Zone: Ensure the area you want to monitor is within the configured detection zone.
- App Notifications: Check your smartphone's notification settings to ensure the TSEYE app is permitted to send alerts.
Cannot Connect to TSEYE App/VMS
- Network Connection: Ensure your smartphone/computer and the camera are connected to the internet.
- Camera IP Address: Verify the camera's IP address and port settings are correct in the software.
- Firewall: Check if your network firewall is blocking communication with the camera.
- Router Settings: For remote access, ensure port forwarding (if required by your network setup) is correctly configured on your router.
