Setup
1. Physical Installation
The camera is designed for wall mounting. For optimal panoramic viewing and clear monitoring, install the camera in large outdoor areas at a distance of at least 4 meters (approximately 13 feet) from the primary viewing area. Testing the camera in small indoor scenes may result in noticeable image distortion or 'cracks' due to the wide-angle lenses.

2. Power and Network Connection
This camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af), allowing both power and data transmission through a single RJ45 Ethernet cable. A PoE injector or switch is required and not included with the camera. Connect the camera to your network via the RJ45 port.

3. App Installation and Initial Setup
Download the "VideoLink" app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Follow the in-app instructions to add your camera for remote monitoring and control. The app facilitates P2P monitoring, allowing easy access from your smartphone.

2. Night Vision Modes
The camera offers flexible night vision options:
- Infrared (B/W) Night Vision: Provides clear black and white images in low-light or no-light conditions.
- Full-Color Night Vision: When human movement is detected, the integrated warm light LEDs illuminate, converting the night vision to full color for enhanced detail.

2. General Care
Regularly inspect the camera's mounting and connections to ensure they remain secure. Clean the lens periodically with a soft, damp cloth to maintain optimal image clarity. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Troubleshooting
- Image Distortion/Cracks in Indoor Testing: The camera's 170° panoramic view is optimized for large outdoor areas. When testing in small indoor environments, the wide-angle lenses may produce noticeable image distortion. For clear monitoring, ensure the camera is installed at least 4 meters from the primary viewing area.
- Micro SD Card Not Detected: Ensure the Micro SD card is correctly inserted into the designated slot (supports up to 512GB). If the issue persists, try formatting the card via the camera's interface or app, or test with a different compatible Micro SD card.
- Video Playback Issues (MP4 Format): While the camera records in H.265+ (which can be encapsulated in MP4), some media players may require specific codecs or updated software to play back the video files. Ensure your media player is up-to-date or try a different player known for wide codec support.
- Limited Features with Third-Party NVRs: Some advanced features, such as direct control of lights or pre-programmed presets, may not be fully supported when using certain third-party NVR brands (e.g., LTS) due to compatibility variations. Basic pan/tilt/zoom (if applicable) and video streaming should function via ONVIF.
- NVR Incompatibility: If experiencing issues with NVR compatibility, ensure your NVR supports ONVIF protocol and that the camera's firmware is up to date. Refer to the NVR's manual for adding ONVIF-compliant cameras.
