5. Setup

5.1 Mounting the Camera

The camera comes with a wall bracket for secure outdoor installation. Choose a mounting location that provides the desired field of view and is within reach of your network and power connections.

1. Securely attach the wall bracket to a sturdy surface using appropriate screws and anchors (not included).
2. Attach the camera to the wall bracket, ensuring it is firmly locked in place.

5.2 Power and Network Connection

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

1. PoE+ Connection: Connect an Ethernet cable from a PoE+ (802.3at) switch or injector to the camera's RJ45 Network Port. This single cable will provide both power and network connectivity.
2. DC12V Power (Alternative): If not using PoE+, connect the provided 12V2A power adapter to the DC12V Female Port and plug it into a power outlet. Then, connect an Ethernet cable from your router/switch to the RJ45 Network Port for network access.

Figure 5.1: PoE+ Connection
This diagram illustrates how to connect the camera using a single Ethernet cable for both power and network via a PoE+ switch or injector.

5.3 Initial Network Configuration

After connecting the camera, it will obtain an IP address from your network's DHCP server. You can find the camera's IP address using:

• Your router's connected devices list.
• The complimentary VMS client software provided on the CD-Rom or available for download from the SUNBA website.

Once the IP address is identified, open a web browser (Internet Explorer recommended for full functionality) and enter the IP address to access the camera's web interface. The default username is admin and the password field is typically left blank initially. You will be prompted to set a new password for security.
