3.3 Mounting the Camera
The camera features a rugged IP66-rated aluminum housing, making it suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. It can be easily mounted on walls or ceilings for optimal coverage.
- Choose a suitable location for mounting, ensuring a clear field of view and within range of your NVR's WiFi signal (if operating wirelessly).
- Use the provided mounting screw kit to securely attach the camera to the desired surface.
- Adjust the camera's angle to cover the desired monitoring area.
4. Operation
4.1 2K Resolution and Night Vision
The camera records in 2K (3MP) resolution, providing clear and detailed images. It features advanced night vision capabilities:
- Infrared (IR) Night Vision: The 4pcs IR-LEDs provide black and white night vision up to 80ft in complete darkness.
- Color Night Vision: The 2pcs warm lights activate in low-light conditions to provide full-color night vision, offering more detail and clarity.

6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera not powering on. | No power to adapter; faulty adapter; loose connection. | Check power outlet. Ensure adapter is securely connected to camera and outlet. Test with another 12V 1A adapter if available. |
| No image on NVR after pairing. | Incorrect pairing steps; network cable issue; camera not connected to NVR's WiFi. | Re-attempt wired pairing process (Section 3.2). Ensure network cable is functional during pairing. Verify camera is within NVR's WiFi range. |
| Poor WiFi connection or frequent disconnections. | Camera too far from NVR; interference from other devices; physical obstructions. | Relocate camera closer to the NVR. Minimize obstructions (thick walls, metal objects). Reduce interference from other WiFi devices. |
| AI Human Detection not working accurately. | Sensitivity settings too low/high; environmental factors. | Adjust detection sensitivity settings in the NVR or mobile app. Ensure camera lens is clean and free from obstructions. |
