4. Setup

4.1 Physical Installation

The camera can be wall-mounted using the included screws. Choose a location that provides the desired viewing angle and is within reach of your network cable (for PoE) or power adapter. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and can support the camera's weight.

4.2 Power and Network Connection

The REVODATA I704-2-P supports Power Over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation by delivering both power and data through a single Cat5/6 Ethernet cable. Connect the camera's RJ45 port directly to a PoE switch or a PoE injector. Alternatively, if PoE is not available, connect a 12V/2A power adapter (not included) to the auxiliary power connector and an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port for data.

For outdoor installations, use the provided waterproof cap to protect the Ethernet connection from moisture.

4.3 Software Setup

To access and manage your camera, you can use the dedicated smartphone application or PC software.

• Smartphone App: Download the free "TSEYE" app from your smartphone's app store (available for Android and iOS). Follow the in-app instructions to add your camera.
• PC Software: For Windows users, VMS software is available. This software allows for advanced configuration and monitoring. (Note: VMS software is not compatible with MAC OS or Linux).

5.4 H.265 Encoding

The camera utilizes H.265 video encoding, which is more efficient than H.264. This technology reduces bandwidth consumption and saves disk space while maintaining high video quality, optimizing your storage and network resources.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your camera.

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the camera lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the lens or damage the finish.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the manufacturer's website or the TSEYE app for available firmware updates. Keeping your camera's firmware up-to-date can improve performance, add new features, and enhance security.
• Cable Inspection: For outdoor installations, regularly inspect the Ethernet cable and waterproof cap for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the waterproof cap is securely fastened to prevent moisture ingress.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your REVODATA I704-2-P camera, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Camera Not Powering On:
  • Ensure the PoE switch or injector is active and providing power.
  • If using an auxiliary power adapter, verify it is a 12V/2A adapter and properly connected to a working power outlet.
  • Check the Ethernet cable for damage.
• No Video Feed / Cannot Connect to Camera:
  • Verify the camera is properly connected to your network via Ethernet.
  • Ensure your network (router/switch) is functioning correctly.
  • Confirm the camera's IP address is within your network's range and not conflicting with other devices. You may need to use a network scanner tool to find the camera's IP.
  • Restart the camera by disconnecting and reconnecting its power source.
  • If using an NVR, ensure it is compatible with ONVIF standards and that the camera is added correctly according to your NVR's instructions.
• Poor Night Vision / Condensation Inside Lens:
  • Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions.
  • For outdoor cameras, condensation can occur due to extreme temperature fluctuations. While the camera is IP65 rated, severe conditions can sometimes lead to internal moisture. Ensure the waterproof cap is tightly sealed.
  • If IR LEDs are too bright or not turning off, check camera settings in the app/VMS for IR control options.
• Motion Detection Not Working:
  • Review motion detection settings in the TSEYE app or VMS software. Ensure the detection area is correctly configured and sensitivity levels are appropriate.
  • Check notification settings on your smartphone to ensure the TSEYE app has permission to send alerts.
