4.2 Power and Connectivity

The camera supports two power options:

• Power over Ethernet (PoE): Connect an Ethernet cable from a PoE-enabled switch or injector to the camera's network port. This provides both power and data connectivity.
• 24VAC: If PoE is not used, connect a 24VAC power supply to the camera's power input terminals.

For network connectivity, use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the camera to your network infrastructure. The camera is a wired device and requires an Ethernet connection for data transmission.

4.3 Initial Configuration

After physical installation and power-up, the camera can be accessed via your network. Refer to the exacqVision Edge Ready VMS software documentation for detailed instructions on discovering and configuring the camera on your surveillance system. The camera is compatible with Digital Video Recorders (DVRs).

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Video Monitoring

The camera provides 1080p video resolution at up to 30 frames per second. Access the live feed and recorded footage through your exacqVision VMS software or compatible Digital Video Recorder.

5.2 Lens Adjustment

The motorized varifocal lens (2.7-13.5mm) allows for remote adjustment of the field of view. Use the VMS software interface to zoom in or out and focus the camera to achieve the desired coverage area.

5.3 Day/Night and WDR Functions

The camera automatically switches between day and night modes to optimize image quality in varying light conditions. Its True Day/Night operation ensures clear images even in very low light. The 100dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) feature helps to balance exposure in scenes with both very bright and very dark areas, preventing overexposure or underexposure.

5.4 Special Features

The camera includes HD Resolution, Night Vision, and Tamper Detection capabilities. Configure these features within your VMS software to enhance your surveillance system's effectiveness.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

To maintain optimal image quality, periodically clean the camera's dome cover. Use a soft, clean cloth dampened with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the lens or housing.

6.2 Environmental Protection

The camera is IP66/IP67-rated for weather resistance and IK10-rated for vandal protection. While designed for outdoor use, ensure proper installation to prevent water ingress and physical damage. Regularly inspect the mounting and cabling for any signs of wear or damage.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your camera, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Check power connections. If using PoE, ensure the PoE switch/injector is functioning. If using 24VAC, verify the power supply is connected and operational.
• No Video: Verify network connectivity. Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected. Check camera settings within the VMS software.
• Poor Image Quality: Clean the camera lens. Adjust the motorized varifocal lens for focus. Check lighting conditions and ensure Day/Night and WDR settings are appropriate for the environment.
• Camera Not Accessible on Network: Confirm the camera has a valid IP address. Check network cable integrity. Ensure firewall settings are not blocking communication.
