2.2 Power and Network Connection
This camera is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device. It requires a PoE compatible router, switch, or Network Video Recorder (NVR) for both power and data transmission. The camera cannot work alone and must be connected to an appointed PoE NVR system. If your network device is not PoE compatible, the camera can be powered using a DC12V, 2A adapter (not included) with a network cable connection to a standard router.
Image: This diagram illustrates various connection methods for the camera, including direct connection to a PoE NVR, a PoE router/switcher, or a standard router using a DC12V 2A adapter.
2.3 Physical Installation
The camera can be mounted under a ceiling or on a wall. Use the provided fixed bracket and screws for secure installation. Ensure the mounting location provides a clear field of view and is within range of your network connection.
- Choose Location: Select a suitable outdoor or indoor location that offers optimal surveillance coverage.
- Mount Bracket: Secure the fixed bracket to the chosen surface using the provided screws.
- Attach Camera: Mount the camera onto the fixed bracket.

3. Operation
3.1 Initial Configuration and App Access
To configure and operate the camera, you must install the dedicated mobile application (e.g., iCSee app) on your smartphone or a client application on your PC. The camera's web interface may require specific browser plugins or direct app usage for full functionality.
Image: This graphic illustrates the camera's compatibility with multiple platforms, including iPhone, Android, Windows, and web browsers, for remote access and viewing.
3.2 Pan, Tilt, and Zoom (PTZ) Control
The PTZ camera lens can be rotated 355° horizontally (pan) and 90° vertically (tilt) via the mobile application, providing a 360° field of view. Note that the camera features digital zoom, not optical zoom, which can be controlled by pinching in the app.

3.3 Night Vision Modes
The camera is equipped with 8 infrared and 8 white lights, offering three distinct night vision modes:
- Black and White Mode: Infrared lights provide clear monochrome images in low light.
- Full-Color Mode: White lights activate to provide full-color night vision.
- Smart Night Vision: Automatically switches to full-color mode when motion is detected, otherwise uses infrared for black and white.

3.4 AI Human Detection and Auto Tracking
The camera utilizes an AI algorithm for motion detection, specifically identifying human or vehicle movement. Upon detection, it can automatically track the subject, activate spotlights, trigger a siren alarm, and send real-time alerts to your phone.
