What you need

To install the camera, you will need:

• 12 Vdc power source. See Specications for requirements

• Tools and additional fasteners (may be required) for mounting the camera

• Phillips #2 screwdriver

• Video and power extension cable

• HD-TVI video setup monitor (optional)

Installation

Before installation:

• Make sure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.

• Check the specication of the products for the installation environment.

• Make sure that the wall or the ceiling is strong enough to withstand 3 times the weight of the camera.

• To avoid re or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will

provide the rated voltage and wattage for the camera. See the Specications section.

During installation:

• Camera Lens: Handle the camera carefully to prevent scratching or soiling the lens. If the lens or IR

array shield becomes soiled, clean it only with approved products. See the

Cleaning section.

• Power supply: Camera drop cable: The camera drop cable includes two connectors:

— Video BNC connector: For transmission of the video signal across a coax (75 Ω) extension

cable to a 5 MP HD-TVI compatible recorder.

— Power connector: When applying power, observe the power polarity. See the picture to the

left for the connector polarity conguration.

1. Using the drill template provided with your camera, mark the location of the screws that anchor the

base plate to the mounting surface. If you are routing the drop cable through base, also mark the

position of the hole for the drop cable.

2. Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the ceiling. The mounting hardware provided is

appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more appropriate

fasteners may be required.

3. Drill a 3/4” hole for the drop cable, if necessary. The drop cable can be routed through the mounting

surface, or through a cable channel in the mounting plate.

4. Route camera video and power extension cables between camera location and the monitoring

device (monitor, DVR, etc.).

5. Remove the mounting plate from the camera assembly

Loosen the clip plate captive screw with the security L-wrench provided.

adjust the camera lens by the FOCUS+, FOCUS-, ZOOM+ and ZOOM-.

LANGUAGE

The OSD can be displayed in either English or Chinese.

EXPOSURE

Exposure describes the brightness-related parameters. You can adjust the image brightness by the

BRIGHTNESS, EXPOSURE MODE, GAIN, DWDR and ANTI-FLICKER in dierent light conditions.

• BRIGHTNESS: Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You can set the brightness value from

1 to 10 to darken or brighten the image. The higher the brightness value, the brighter the image.

• EXPOSURE MODE: You can set EXPOSURE mode as GLOBAL or BLC.

— GLOBAL: GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode, used when adjusting for unusual lighting

distribution, variations, non-standard processing, or conditions of under exposure to get an

optimum image.

— BLC (Backlight Compensation): BLC compensates light to the object in the front to make it clear,

while compensating for over-exposure of the background where the light is strong. The level can

be adjusted from 0 to 8.

• GAIN: Optimizes the clarity of image in poor light. GAIN level can be set to HIGH, MIDDLE, and LOW.

Select OFF to disable the GAIN function. Noise is amplied when GAIN is on.

• DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range) DWDR helps the camera provide clear images even with bright

or dark backlight conditions. When both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously exist in the

image, DWDR balances the brightness level of the whole image to provide clear images with details.

Setting DWDR to ON to improve the image quality of images with extreme bright and dark areas. Set

the DWDR as OFF to disable the function.

• ANTI-FLICKER Set the ANTI-FLICKER as ON to prevent the image from icker.

WHITE BALANCE

White balance is the white rendition function of the camera to adjust the color temperature according to

the environment. It can remove unrealistic color casts in the image. You can set WB mode as either ATW

or MWB.

• ATW: In ATW mode, white balance is adjusted automatically according to the color temperature of the

scene illumination.

• MWB: In MWB mode, you can set the R GAIN/B GAIN value from 1 to 255 to adjust the shades of red/

blue color of the image.

DAY-NIGHT

Color, B/W, and AUTO are selectable for DAY and NIGHT switches.

• COLOR: The image is colored in day mode all the time.

• B/W: The image is black and white all the time, and the IR LED turns on in the low-light conditions.

• AUTO: Automatically switch COLOR or BW (Black and White) according to actual scene brightness.

You can turn on/o the INFRARED and set the value of SMART IR in this menu.

— INFRARED: Select this option to turn on/o the IR LED in response to the light level in the eld

of view.

— SMART IR: Use the Smart IR feature is to adjust the light to its most suitable intensity, and to

prevent the image from over exposure. The SMART IR value can be adjusted from 1 to 3. The

higher the value, the more obvious the eects are.

VIDEO SETTING Menu

Move the cursor to VIDEO SETTING and press the conrm button to enter the submenu. In this menu you

can adjust CONTRAST, SHARPNESS, COLOR GAIN, DNR and MIRROR settings.

• CONTRAST: This feature enhances the dierence in color and light between parts of an image. You

can set the CONTRAST value from 1 to 10.

• SHARPNESS: Sharpness determines the amount of detail an imaging system can reproduce. You can

set the SHARPNESS value from 1 to 10.

• COLOR GAIN: Adjust this feature to change the saturation of the color. The value ranges from 1 to 10.

• DNR (Digital Noise Reduction): The DNR function can decrease the noise eect, especially when

capturing moving images in low light conditions and delivering more accurate and sharp image

quality. You can set the DNR value from 1 to 10.

• MIRROR: DEFAULT, H, V, and HV are selectable for mirror.

— DEFAULT: The mirror function is disabled.
