1. Introduction

1.1 Product Overview

The DIYSecuritycameraworld PIR Style 1080p PoE IP Camera (Model IPCX-MC28021080P) is a covert surveillance camera designed to resemble a standard Passive Infrared (PIR) motion detector. This device provides high-definition 1080p video surveillance with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability for simplified installation. It features H.264/H.265 encoding, night vision up to 10 meters, and remote monitoring via P2P functionality. Please note: This camera is designed to look like a PIR motion sensor but does not function as an actual motion detector sensor.

4. Setup

4.1 Physical Installation

The camera is designed for wall mounting. Choose a location that provides the desired field of view and allows for discreet placement, considering its PIR style design.

1. Select Location: Identify a suitable wall location, ideally where a PIR motion sensor would typically be installed, to maintain its covert appearance.
2. Mounting: Use the provided screws and wall anchors to securely mount the camera to the wall. Ensure the camera is stable and properly oriented.
3. Cable Routing: Route the Ethernet cable discreetly to the camera.

Figure 4.1: Product Dimensions. The camera measures approximately 12cm in height, 7cm in width, and 7.5cm in depth (including the wall mount).

4.2 Power and Network Connection

The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified wiring.

1. PoE Connection: Connect an Ethernet cable from a PoE-enabled switch or PoE injector (802.3af standard) directly to the camera's Ethernet port. This will provide both power and network connectivity.
2. Alternative Power (if no PoE): If PoE is not available, connect a DC12V power adapter (not included) to the camera's power input port. Then, connect a standard Ethernet cable from your router/switch to the camera's Ethernet port for network access.
3. Network Configuration: Once connected, the camera will typically obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP. Refer to the camera's specific software or web interface for initial setup and network configuration details.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Accessing the Camera

There are generally two methods to access your camera's live feed and settings:

• Web Browser:
  1. Determine the camera's IP address (e.g., using a network scanner tool or your router's client list).
  2. Open a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) on a computer connected to the same network.
  3. Enter the camera's IP address into the browser's address bar and press Enter.
  4. Log in using the default username and password (refer to your Quick Start Guide or contact support for defaults).
• Smartphone App (P2P):
  1. Download the recommended P2P surveillance app for your iPhone/iPad or Android device (check the Quick Start Guide or product packaging for app name).
  2. Register an account if required.
  3. Add the camera to the app, typically by scanning a QR code on the camera or entering its UID/serial number.
  4. Follow the app's instructions to complete the setup and view the live feed.

5.2 Basic Functions

• Live View: Access real-time video and audio from the camera.
• Recording: Configure continuous recording, motion-triggered recording, or scheduled recording. Recordings are typically stored on an NVR or a local storage device (if supported by the camera or connected system).
• Image Settings: Adjust brightness, saturation, contrast, and hue to optimize video quality for your environment.
• Motion Detection: Set up motion detection zones and sensitivity. While the camera looks like a PIR sensor, its motion detection is typically software-based video analytics.
• Remote Playback: Review recorded footage from your web browser or smartphone app.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the camera's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Lens Care: If the lens becomes dirty, use a lens cleaning cloth and solution specifically designed for optical lenses.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the manufacturer's website or your camera's web interface for available firmware updates. Keeping firmware updated can improve performance and security.
• Environmental Check: Ensure the camera remains within its specified operating temperature and humidity ranges.
