Overview

• Fisheye IP Camera (DN-16087) is a high-resolution surveillance solution that features 360° wide coverage without blind spots.
• Mini fisheye camera supports resolution up to 6 Megapixels streaming at 30 fps which allows the videos to be viewed smoothly. Moreover, the fisheye camera supports digital PTZ, panoramic view, and several display modes to fulfill users’ needs.
• With its Compact and Concise design, the Mini Fisheye Camera is suitable for application in many kinds of environments, such as office rooms, hotels, vehicles, etc.
• Furthermore, the embedded edge de-warping engine enables the fisheye camera to dewarp images by camera rather than the backend system.
• Therefore, the edge de-warping technique reduces the burden of the backend system and also enhances the flexibility of usage.
• Featuring an IR LED module and Smart Picture Quality/Noise Reduction improves the image quality in low light environments.

• For power connection, please refer to the section for All in One Cable for the outdoor models. Alternatively, users can power the camera by PoE if a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) switch is available. Refer to the section below for the Ethernet cable connection.
• NOTE: If PoE is used, make sure PSE is in use in the network.

Ethernet Cable Connection

• To have the best transmission quality, the cable length shall not exceed 100 meters.
• Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector of the camera, and plug the other end of the cable to the network switch or PC.
• NOTE: In some cases, an Ethernet crossover cable might be needed when connecting the camera directly to the PC.
• Check the status of the link indicator and the activity indicator LEDs. If the LEDs are unlit, please check the LAN connection.
• The Green Link Light indicates a good network connection.
• Orange Activity Light flashes for network activity indication.

Waterproof Cable Connector (Outdoor Only)

• Follow the instructions below to waterproof the connectors of different types of cables.
• The supported cables are as shown below.

All-in-One Cable

• Follow the steps below to waterproof the connectors of the All-in-One cable.

Step 1:

• Connect the required devices to the
• All-in-One cable and coat the joints with silicone gel.
• There should be no gap between the connectors and the cables.
• For the alarm 1/0 connector and the power connector, make sure the side with wires attached is also sealed with silicone gel.
• In addition, attach the ground cable to the ground and wrap the wires with silicone gel. Make sure the wires are not exposed to the air.

Step 2:

• Seal the end of the rubber coating of the All-in-One cable as indicated in the figure on the right.
• Please use enough silicone gel to fill in the hose and wrap around each wire; otherwise, waterproof function cannot be guaranteed.

IP66 RJ-45 Cable

For the IP66 RJ-45 cable, please use an RJ-45 IP66 plug for connection to prevent water damage. Follow the steps below for a cable connection.

1. Step 1: Take out the supplied connector from the RJ-45 IP66 plug. Loosen the thread-lock sealing nut on the plug. Then thread the Ethernet cable through the thread-lock sealing nut and the plug. If the Ethernet cable is already attached to a connector, please remove it first.
2. Step 2: Carefully remove a section of rubber coating from the end of the Ethernet cable to reveal the wires. Insert the wires to the correct pins of the connector. Plug the Ethernet cable into the connector of the IP66 RJ-45 cable.
3. Step 3: Fasten the RJ-45 IP66 plug to the connector of the IP66 RJ-45 cable. Lastly, tighten the thread-lock sealing nut to the plug.
