Installation Procedure
This section describes the procedures in installing the camera on the wall.
Step 1: Install the Mounting Plate
The device can be mounted on the wall either by mounting directly on the surface or flushed into
the wall where only the device front panel can be seen on the surface. First, determine how you
want to mount the device then install the mounting plate on the wall.
Mounting Directly on the Surface
1. Drill the hole where the cables will pass through
the wall using the mounting plate as template.
2. Mark or drill the screw holes, if necessary.
3. Install the mounting plate by securing
four (4) screws as marked on the illustration.
Embedding into the Wall
The device can be flushed or embedded into the wall so only the edge of the mounting plate and
the device front panel can be seen on the surface.
1. Drill a hole with dimensions of 128 mm x 108 mm. This is where the device will be
embedded.
2. Drill the hole where the cables will pass through
on the wall, use the mounting plate as template
for its location.
3. Flush the mounting plate into the wall.
4. Drill the holes and attach the four (4) screws
to secure the plate as marked on the illustration.

Step 2: Do the Wiring
Determine the devices that you will connect to the reader/controller.
1. The reader/controller comes with terminal blocks to easily connect devices to the unit. Once
you determine the devices to connect, cut off the needed terminal blocks and connect to the
corresponding terminal cable wires. Below is an example of connecting the wires to the
supplied terminal block.
TIP: For the most basic operation, the terminal cables for Ethernet, CN4 (for power adapter
and lock relay, etc.), CN5 (for wiegand connections) are commonly used.
2. Route the cables such as the power source and other devices (such as door lock, sensor,
etc.) that will be connected to the reader/controller through the hole on the wall and the
mounting plate.
3. Then connect the devices to the supplied terminal block. Below is an example of connecting
a DC 12V power adapter. Note that the RED wire connects to the DC 12V wire of the power
adapter (cable with white lines) while the BLACK wire connects to the ground wire of the
power adapter.
4. Continue to connect other devices, as needed. Refer to Wiring Diagram on page 13.

5. When all wirings are ready, connect the terminal cables to the corresponding connectors on
the reader/controller.
Step 3: Install the Device
Align the top part of the reader/controller to the mounting plate and attach the two (2) supplied
screws.
Step 4: Connect to Power Source
When the unit is connected to the power source, the unit will initialize. Once complete, the LCD
will display “Ready”.

Accessing the Device
Web Interface
In order to be able to communicate with the device from your PC, both the device and the PC
have to be within the same network segment. In most cases, it means that they both should have
very similar IP addresses, where only the last number of the IP address is different from each
other.
The default IP address is 192.168.0.100. If the device is connected to a DHCP server, then you
have to check what the device IP address is in order to type it on the PC web browser. See How
to Check the IP Address on page 18 to identify the IP address of the device.
1. Open a web browser and type the IP address on the address bar.
2. If prompted to login, type the User Name “admin” and leave the Password empty.
3. After a successful login, the user interface will be shown.
