Camera Installation

Instructions before Installation

• Before installation, please make sure that the camera in the package is in good condition and all parts are complete.
• Before installing the PT, please prepare in advance the tools and cables that may be required for installation.

Cable Planning and Wiring
It is necessary to survey and plan the lines in advance since the environment and location of the PT installation is different, and then to arrange the lines precisely so as to provide safe and stable power and wiring for the PT. In the process of cable planning and wiring, you need to follow the below suggestions:

• Before performing cable wiring operations, familiarize yourself with the installation environment, including wiring distance, wiring environment, and whether it is far away from magnetic field interference and other factors.
• Please select a wire with a rated voltage greater than the actual line voltage for the PT to ensure the normal operation of the PT under the condition of unstable voltage.
• To avoid disconnection, the connection of the PT should be done independently with one wire; if the conditions are limited, it is also necessary to protect the connection and take reinforcement measures to prevent the equipment from malfunctioning due to circuit aging.
• Strengthen the protection for power lines and signal transmission lines. Pay special attention to the reinforcement and protection of the line during the wiring process, so as to avoid abnormal monitoring due to wiring damage.
• During the wire deployment process, do not make the wires too long or too short.

The cable wiring of the PT should be operated by personnel with professional skills. When the PT fails to work normally, you can investigate the cause in the above-mentioned aspects.

Mounting Bracket

• The PT is different from other cameras. The overall quality is heavy, which has high requirements for the load-bearing and stability of the support. It is generally recommended to install it directly on the base to avoid potential safety hazards.
• If mounting a bracket is necessary, you can design the corresponding bracket according to the base map of the PT. The bracket design must consider factors such as load-bearing and anti-shake to ensure the firmness of the bracket and the smoothness of the image.

TF Card Installation

1. Step 1: The TF card slot is located inside the device. Unfold the protection cover with the middle-sized cross screwdriver.
2. Step 2: After opening the shield, slowly insert the TF card into the TF card slot in the direction indicated by the arrow. After hearing a “click”, the installation is complete.
3. Step 3: After installation, close the TF card slot cover and tighten the screws.

Figure 2.1 TF card installation illustrations

PT Installation

1. Step 1: Take out 4 screws with a diameter of 6mm and a length of 25mm from the accessory bag, and fix the PT on the base of the bracket.
2. Step 2: After connecting the cable to the PT, supply power to it. After completing the self-check, check whether the preview is normal. If the control of PT is normal, the installation is complete.

Figure 2.2 Installation Illustrations

Install Network Port Protective Cover
When using the camera, install the matching network port waterproof cover to prevent water from entering the network cable. Please install it if necessary. The installation steps are as follows:

1. Step 1: Pass the network cable through the fastening nut and the main body of the waterproof cover in turn.
2. Step 2: Break off the waterproof rubber ring and put it on the network cable between the main body of the waterproof cover and the fastening nut.
3. Step 3: Put the O-shaped rubber ring into the network port, and insert the network cable into the network port. Figure 2.3 Network Cable Installation
4. Step 4: Align the notch of the network port with the buckle of the main body of the waterproof cover, put the main body of the waterproof cover into the end of the network port, and tighten it clockwise.
5. Step 5 : Insert the waterproof rubber ring into the main body of the waterproof cover.
6. Step 6: Turn the fastening nut clockwise and press the waterproof rubber ring tightly.

Preparations

1. The default IP address of the device：192.168.1.123.
2. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the IP address of the PT can be modified. If you change the device address to 192.168.1.194, change your computer’s IP address to the same network segment with the network video server, and the same subnet mask. Such as: 192.168.1.120;
3. Test whether the PT can start normally. Under WINDOWS, follow the <Start→run→cmd> operation, open the command line window, and enter Ping 192.168.1.123 in the command line window. If “Request time out” is not displayed, it means the startup is normal;
4. Support browsers such as IE8+.

Appendix A Camera Maintenance

Lens Maintenance

• The lens surface is coated with anti-reflective coating. When contaminated with dust, grease, and fingerprints, harmful substances will be produced and the degraded performance, cratches, or mold will be caused. Once dirt is found, please follow the following methods.
• Dust stained: Use an oil-free soft brush or a blower ball to gently flick the dust off.
• Grease stained: Gently wipe away water or oil with a soft cloth and dry it, then rub it outward from the center of the lens using an oil-free cotton cloth or lens cleaner coated with alcohol or lens cleaner. If it is still not clean, you can change the cloth and wipe it several times.
• Network Safety Maintenance
• In order to ensure the network security of the PT camera, it is recommended that you conduct regular network security assessment and maintenance of the network system.
• Corresponding professional technical service can be offered.
