3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Mounting Location
The camera is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, with an IP67 rating for weather resistance. It is designed for ceiling mount installation. Choose a location that provides the desired field of view and is within reach of network cabling.
3.2 Physical Installation
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the camera's weight (approximately 3.5 pounds) and dimensions (11.53 x 3.73 x 3.35 inches).
- Mark Drill Holes: Use the camera's mounting base as a template to mark the positions for drilling holes.
- Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes according to the marked positions. Insert wall anchors if mounting on drywall or masonry.
- Secure the Camera: Attach the camera's mounting base to the surface using the provided screws.
- Adjust Angle: Loosen the adjustment screws to position the camera for the optimal viewing angle, then tighten them securely.
3.3 Connectivity and Wiring
The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) (IEEE 802.3af) for simplified installation, allowing both power and data transmission over a single Ethernet cable. Alternatively, it can be powered by a 12V DC power supply (not included).
- PoE Connection: Connect a standard Ethernet cable from a PoE-enabled switch or NVR to the camera's Ethernet port.
- 12V DC Connection: If not using PoE, connect a 12V DC power adapter to the camera's power input and an Ethernet cable to the network.
- Compatibility: This camera is part of the LTS Pro-X series and is NDAA compliant. For best compatibility and full functionality, pair it with an LTS Pro-X NVR. It is not plug & play compatible with LTS Platinum NVRs.
- Protocols: The camera supports Ethernet, ONVIF, and RTSP connectivity protocols.

4. Operation
4.1 Initial Power-Up and Network Configuration
Once connected to power and network, the camera will boot up. Access the camera's web interface or connect it to a compatible NVR for initial configuration, including setting up network parameters, user accounts, and video settings.
4.2 Video Surveillance Features
- High Resolution: The camera captures video at 8 MP (3840 x 2160) resolution at 30 frames per second, providing ultra-clear footage.
- 24/7 Color Imaging: Equipped with warm light LED illuminators, the camera delivers full-color video even in low-light conditions, up to 197 feet.
- Motion Detection 2.0: Configure motion detection zones and sensitivity. This advanced feature distinguishes between human and vehicle movement, reducing false alarms.
- Audio Monitoring: The built-in microphone allows for real-time audio capture, enhancing security monitoring.
- Local Storage: Insert a MicroSD card (up to 256 GB) into the camera's slot for local video recording. This can serve as a backup or primary storage solution.
- Wide Dynamic Range (WDR): True WDR 130 dB technology ensures clear images in scenes with both very bright and very dark areas.
- X-Search: When paired with compatible NVR models (LTN94XX), the X-Search feature allows for efficient searching of recorded footage.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
- Regularly clean the camera lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or smudges that may affect image quality.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the camera's finish or lens coating.
5.2 Firmware Updates
Periodically check the manufacturer's website for firmware updates. Keeping the camera's firmware up-to-date ensures optimal performance, security, and access to new features.
5.3 MicroSD Card Management
If using a MicroSD card for local storage, ensure it is formatted correctly and periodically check its health. Replace the card if errors or degradation are detected.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1 No Video Feed
- Check Power: Ensure the camera is receiving power, either via PoE or a 12V DC adapter. Verify power indicator lights on PoE switch/injector.
- Check Network Connection: Confirm the Ethernet cable is securely connected at both ends and that network connectivity is active.
- NVR Compatibility: If using an NVR, ensure it is an LTS Pro-X NVR. The camera is not compatible with LTS Platinum NVRs.
- IP Address Conflict: Verify that the camera has a unique IP address on the network.
6.2 Poor Image Quality
- Clean Lens: Clean the camera lens as described in the Maintenance section.
- Lighting Conditions: Ensure adequate lighting. While the camera has 24/7 color, extreme low light or backlighting can affect quality. Utilize WDR settings if applicable.
- Network Bandwidth: Insufficient network bandwidth can lead to choppy or low-quality video. Check network load.
- Resolution Settings: Verify that the camera's resolution settings are configured for 8 MP.
6.3 Motion Detection Not Working
- Configuration: Check the motion detection settings in the camera's web interface or NVR. Ensure detection zones are correctly defined and sensitivity is appropriate.
- Recording Schedule: Verify that the recording schedule is set to capture events triggered by motion.
