Mount Your Camera

Mount your camera according to the diagrams in the Quick Start Guide included in the package.

Use Your Camera with an NVR

The camera works with an NVR for easier batch access and management. Here we use a VIGI NVR as an example.

Connect your cameras to the same network as your NVR (as shown above).
Power on your cameras with the PoE power supply or an external power supply.
Note: The camera’s standard power supply is 12V DC or PoE (802.3af/at). The power source should comply with Power Source Class 2 ( PS2) or Limited Power Source(LPS) of IEC 62368-1. Some models do not support DC power supply. You can check the detailed specifications on the product page at https://www.tplink.com/.
Add your cameras with the NVR.
Before you start, make sure the NVR is working properly. Then add your camera with the NVR.

Go to the NVR management page, right click on the screen, and click Add Camera.
Select your camera and click + to add your camera directly. If you have disabled Plug & Play on your NVR, create a password or use a preset password for your camera.
Done! You can now view live video and manage cameras.

Using your cameras with other NVR brands

Power on your cameras and connect them to the network.
Activate the camera using the VIGI Security Manager or VIGI app (refer to the next section).
Refer to the NVR’s User Manual to add cameras.
