5. Setup

5.1 Camera Wiring

The LXIP3C82WI-28SDL camera uses a network cable for both video and Power over Ethernet (PoE). It is not compatible with traditional DC power and BNC video connections.

Image 1: Camera Wiring Compatibility. This diagram illustrates the correct wiring method using a network cable for both video and Power over Ethernet (PoE), marked as 'Compatible' with a green circle. It also shows traditional DC power and BNC video cables marked as 'Not Compatible' with a red cross, indicating they should not be used with this camera model.

• Connect a standard Ethernet network cable to the camera's network port.
• If using PoE, connect the other end of the network cable to a PoE-enabled switch or NVR.
• If not using PoE, connect the network cable to a standard network switch/router and provide 12V DC power to the camera's power input.

5.2 Mounting

The camera is designed for ceiling mount installation.

1. Choose a suitable mounting location on the ceiling that provides the desired field of view.
2. Use the provided mounting template (if included) to mark the drill holes.
3. Drill pilot holes and insert anchors if necessary.
4. Secure the camera base to the ceiling using the provided screws.
5. Adjust the camera angle as needed for optimal coverage.

5.3 Network Connection and Initial Configuration

After physical installation and wiring, connect the camera to your network. For best compatibility, pair this Pro-X series camera with a Pro-X NVR. It is not plug & play compatible with LTS Platinum NVRs.

• Ensure your network is properly configured for IP cameras.
• Use the manufacturer's provided software or a standard IP camera tool to discover the camera on your network.
• Access the camera's web interface using its IP address to perform initial configuration, including setting a strong password, network settings, and video parameters.

6. Operating
