Important Safeguards and Warnings

Electrical safety

• All installation and operation should conform to your local electrical safety codes.
• The power source shall conform to the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) standard, and supply power with rated voltage which conforms to Limited Power Source requirement according to IEC60950-1. Please note that the power supply requirement is subject to the device label.
• Make sure the power supply is correct before operating the device.
• A readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated in the building installation wiring.
• Prevent the power cable from being trampled or pressed, especially the plug, power socket and the junction extruded from the device.

Environment

• Do not aim the device at strong light to focus, such as lamp light and sun light; otherwise it might cause over brightness or light marks, which are not the device malfunction, and affect the longevity of Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS).
• Do not place the device in a damp or dusty environment, extremely hot or cold temperatures, or the locations with strong electromagnetic radiation or unstable lighting.
• Keep the device away from any liquid to avoid damage to the internal components.
• Keep the indoor device away from rain or damp to avoid fire or lightning.
• Keep sound ventilation to avoid heat accumulation.
• Transport, use and store the device within the range of allowed humidity and temperature.
• Heavy stress, violent vibration or water splash are not allowed during transportation, storage and installation.
• Pack the device with standard factory packaging or the equivalent material when transporting the device.
• Install the device in the location where only the professional staff with relevant knowledge of safety guards and warnings can access. The accidental injury might happen to the nonprofessionals who enter the installation area when the device is operating normally.

Operation and Daily Maintenance

• Do not touch the heat dissipation component of the device to avoid scald.
• Carefully follow the instructions in the manual when performing any disassembly operation about the device; otherwise, it might cause water leakage or poor image quality due to unprofessional disassembly. Please make sure that the gasket ring is flat and  properly installed in the groove before installing the cover. Please contact after-sale service for desiccant replacement if there is condensed fog on the lens after unpacking or when the desiccant turns green (Not all models are included with the desiccant).
• It is recommended to use the device together with lightning arrester to improve lightning protection effect.
• It is recommended connect the grounding hole to the ground to enhance the reliability of the device.
• Do not touch the image sensor directly (CMOS). Dust and dirt could be removed with air blower, or you can wipe the lens gently with soft cloth that moistened with alcohol.
• Device body can be cleaned with soft dry cloth, which can also be used to remove stubborn stains when moistened with mild detergent. To avoid possible damage on device body coating which could cause performance decrease, do not use volatile solvent such as alcohol, benzene, diluent and so on to clean the device body, nor can strong, abrasive detergent be used.
• Dome cover is an optical component, do not touch or wipe the cover with your hands directly during installation or operation. For removing dust, grease or fingerprints, wipe gently with moisten oil-free cotton with diethyl or moisten soft cloth. You can also air blower to remove dust.

WARNING

• Please strengthen the protection of network, device data and personal information by adopting measures which include but not limited to using strong password, modifying password regularly, upgrading firmware to the latest version, and isolating  computer network. For some device with old firmware versions, the ONVIF password will not be modified automatically along with the modification of the system password, and you need to upgrade the firmware or manually update the ONVIF password.
• Use standard components or accessories provided by manufacturer and make sure the device is installed and maintained by professional engineers.
• The surface of the image sensor should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment where a laser beam device is used.
• Do not provide two or more power supply sources for the device unless otherwise specified. A failure to follow this instruction might cause damage to the device.

Introduction

1.1 Cable

• Cable type might vary with different devices, and the actual product shall prevail.
• Please waterproof all the cable joints with insulating tape and waterproof tape to avoid short circuit and water damage. For the detailed operation, see the FAQ manual.

For more information about cable ports, see Tab l e 1-1.
Table 1-1 Cable information

instructed in the Guide.
**** Device abnormity or damage could occur if power is not supplied correctly.
2| Alarm I/O| Includes alarm signal input and output ports, the number of I/O ports might vary on different devices. For detailed information, see Table 1-2.
3| Ethernet port| • Connects to network with network cable.
• Provides power to the device with PoE.

• Some models have two Ethernet ports.
• PoE is available on select model.
4| Audio output| Connects to speaker to output audio signal.
S| Audio input| Connects to sound-pick-up device to receive audio signal.
6| M12| Network port for mobile device, support PoE power supply.
Interface type is D-Coded.

For more information about I/O port, see Table 1-2.
Table 1-2 Port information

1.2 Connecting Alarm Input/output

Alarm input/output is available on select models.
Step 1 Connect alarm input device to the alarm input end of the I/O port, see Figure 1-2.
Device collects different states of alarm input port when the input signal is idling and being grounded.

• Device collects logic “1” when input signal is connecting to +3V to +5V or idling.
• Device collects logic “0” when input signal being grounded.

Step 2   Connect alarm output device to the alarm output end of the I/O port. The alarm output is open-drain output, which works in the following modes.

• Mode A: Level application. Alarm outputs high and low level, and the alarm outlet is OD, which requires external pull-up resistance (10K Ohm typical) to work. The maximum external pull-up level is 12V, max imum port current is 300mA (max) and the default output signal is high level (external pull-up voltage). The default output signal switches to low level when there is alarm output (As long as the operating current below 300mA, the output low level voltage is lower than 0.8V).
• Mode B: Switch application. Alarm output is used to drive external circuit, the maximum voltage is 12V and the maximum current is 300mA (max). If the voltage is higher than 12V, please use an additional electric relay.

Step 2 Log in web interface, and configure alarm input and alarm output in alarm setting.

• The alarm input in the web interface is corresponding to the alarm input end of the I/O port. There will be high level and low level alarm signal generated by the alarm input device when alarm occurs, set the input mode to “NO” (default) if the alarm input signal is logic “0” and to “NC” if the alarm input signal is logic “1”.
• The alarm output in the web interface is corresponding to the alarm output end of the device, which is also alarm output end of the I/O port.

Network Configuration

Device initialization and IP setting can be finished with the “ConfigTool” or in web interface. For more information, see the WEB operation manual.

• Device initialization is available on select models, and it is required at first use and after device is being reset.
• Device initialization is available only when the IP addresses of the device (192.168.1.108 by default) and the PC stays in the same network segment.
• Planning useable network segment properly to connect the device to the network.
• The following figures and interfaces are for reference only, and the actual product shall prevail.
