4. Setup and Installation
Important Note on App Support
This camera does NOT support a standalone mobile application. It requires connection to an NVR (Network Video Recorder) or compatible third-party software for access and functionality.
Connection Methods
The Anpviz 5MP PoE Camera offers flexible connection options:
- Connect via Anpviz NVR PoE: Directly connect the camera to a PoE port on a compatible Anpviz NVR using a single Ethernet cable. This provides both power and data.
- Connect via Third-Party On-vif PoE NVR: Connect the camera to a PoE port on a compatible third-party NVR that supports the On-vif protocol.
- Connect via PoE Injector or PoE Switch: If your NVR or network does not have PoE capabilities, you can use a separate PoE injector or PoE switch to power the camera and transmit data.

Physical Installation
The camera can be mounted on a wall or ceiling. Use the provided drill template to mark the screw holes accurately. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the camera.
- Wall Mount: Position the camera to cover the desired area, ensuring a clear line of sight.
- Ceiling Mount: Ideal for wider coverage in outdoor areas.

5. Operating Instructions
Once the camera is successfully connected to your NVR or compatible third-party software, you can access and manage its features through the NVR's interface or the software's application.
Accessing the Camera
- Use the NVR's local interface (connected to a monitor) or its dedicated mobile/desktop application.
- For third-party software (e.g., ISpy, Blue-iris), follow their specific instructions for adding an On-vif compatible IP camera.

- Ensure the NVR/software is properly configured to detect the camera.
- Poor Image Quality:
- Clean the camera lens.
- Check network bandwidth and connection stability.
- Adjust camera settings (e.g., resolution, bitrate) in the NVR/software.
- False Alarms:
- Adjust the sensitivity of human motion detection in your NVR/software settings.
- Ensure the camera's field of view is clear of moving objects like tree branches or flags.
- Cannot Access Camera via App:
- Remember, this camera does not support a standalone app. Access is through your NVR's app or compatible third-party software.
