5. Setup
5.1 Mounting the Camera
The camera comes with a wall mount bracket. Choose a suitable outdoor location that provides the desired viewing angle and is within reach of your network cable. Secure the bracket firmly to a solid surface using the provided screws.
5.2 Power and Data Connection (PoE)
This camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation by delivering both power and data through a single Ethernet cable. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the camera's Ethernet port and the other end to a PoE NVR, PoE switch, or PoE injector.

5.4 Initial Setup
After connecting the camera, power it on. For initial setup and configuration, you can:
- Scan the QR code via the Videolink App (if applicable) for mobile access.
- Directly view the camera on your NVR User Interface (UI) if using an NVR system.
- Access the camera's web interface via its IP address for advanced settings.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Pan, Tilt, and Zoom (PTZ) Control
The camera offers 360° pan and 90° tilt capabilities, allowing you to remotely adjust the viewing angle. The 20X optical zoom and 10X digital zoom enable you to focus on specific details without compromising image quality.
