Warnings
In the use of the product, you must be in strict compliance with the
electrical safety regulations of the nation and region. Please refer to
technical specifications for detailed information. Input voltage should meet
both the SELV(Safety Extra Low Voltage) and the Limited Power Source with AC
24V or DC 12V according to the IEC60950-1 standard. Please refer to technical
specifications for detailed information. Do not connect several devices to one
power adapter as adapter overload may cause over-heating or a fire hazard.
Please make sure that the plug is firmly connected to the power socket. When
the product is mounted on wall or ceiling, the device shall be firmly fixed.
If smoke, odor or noise rise from the device, turn off the power at once and
unplug the power cable, and then please contact the service center. If the
product does not work properly, please contact your dealer or the nearest
service center. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. (We shall
not assume any responsibility for problems caused by unauthorized repair or
maintenance.)
Cautions
Make sure the power supply voltage is correct before using the camera. Do not
drop the camera or subject it to physical shock. Do not touch CMOS modules
with your fingers. If cleaning is necessary, use a clean cloth with a bit of
ethanol and wipe it gently. If the camera will not be used for an extended
period, please replace the lens cap to protect the CMOS from dirt. Do not aim
the camera at the sun or extra bright places. Blooming or smearing may occur
otherwise (which is not a malfunction), and affect the endurance of CMOS at
the same time. The CMOS may be burned out by a laser beam, so when any laser
equipment is in use, make sure that the surface of the CMOS will not be
exposed to the laser beam. Do not place the camera in extremely hot, cold (the
operating temperature shall be-30℃~+60℃), dusty or damp locations, and do not
expose it to high electromagnetic radiation. To avoid heat accumulation, good
ventilation is required for operating environment. Keep the camera away from
liquid while in use. While in delivery, the camera shall be packed in its
original packing, or packing of the same texture. Regular part replacement: a
few parts (e.g. electrolytic capacitor) of the equipment shall be replaced
regularly according to their average enduring time. The average time varies
because of differences between the operating environment and using history, so
regular checking is recommended for all users. Please contact with your dealer
for more details. Improper use or replacement of the battery may result in the
hazard of explosion. Replace with the same or equivalent type only. Dispose of
used batteries according to the instructions provided by the battery
manufacturer.

Installation
Before you start
- Please make sure that the device in the package is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.
- Make sure that all the related equipment is power-off during the installation.
- Check the specification of the products for the installation environment.
- Make sure the power supply is matched with your required voltage to avoid damage.
- If the product does not function properly, please contact your dealer or the nearest service center. Do not disassemble the camera for repair or maintenance by yourself.
- Please make sure that the wall is strong enough to withstand three times the weight of the camera.
Steps:
Drill the cable hole and the screw holes in the ceiling according to the
supplied drilling template.
Loosen the set screws with a hex key (supplied) to remove the bubble.
-
If required, you can route cables through the side opening on the side of the mounting base.
-
Fix the mounting base to the ceiling with screws.
Adjust the surveillance angle. Loosen the tilt adjusting screws, and adjust
the tilt angel [0~65°], and tighten the tilt adjusting screws. Hold the black
liner and rotate it to adjust the pan position [0~360°]. Remove the black
liner and rotate the camera to adjust the azimuth angle [0~360°].
As the lens has already been factory-adjusted to the best imaging effect, you just need to adjust the pan position and tilt position to get the desired surveillance angle.
Setting the Network Camera over the LAN
Purpose:
To view and configure the camera via LAN (Local Area Network), you need to
connect the network camera in the same subnet with your PC. Then install the
iVMS-4200 software to search and change the IP address of the network camera.
The following figure shows the cable connection of a network camera and a PC:
Set the IP address of the camera for accessing via LAN.
Steps:
To set the IP address, please use the Advidia Camera Finder Utility as
described below:
- To view and configure the camera via LAN (Local Area Network), you need to connect the network camera in the same subnet with your PC. Then, install the Advidia Camera Finder Utility. Refer to the following introductions to set IP address with the Advidia Camera Finder Utility software (for more detailed instructions please download the Camera Finder manual from the Advidia Website www.advidia.com/support):
- After launching the Advidia Camera Finder software, it automatically searches the online devices from the subnet where your computer is located. This search may take 30 seconds or more depending on network size. After searching it will show total number and information of the Advidia cameras found on the network. Device information including the device type, IP address, port number, gateway, etc. will be displayed.
Note:
To perform a manual search for additional cameras:
