Thank you for purchasing i3 International’s Ax88 Fisheye IP dome camera.
Ax88 is equipped with a fisheye 1.97mm @ F2.3 lens and supports h.265 codec compression.
Note: Ax88 supports h.265 codec, but is shipped pre-set to h.264 to facilitate backward compatibility to the earlier versions of SRX-Pro (below v7).
To change the codec to h.265 in the camera’s web settings > Setup > Video > Video Configuration > Video Stream.

SAFETY

When installing your Ax88 camera be sure to avoid:

• excessive heat, such as direct sunlight or heating appliances
• contaminants such as dust and smoke
• strong magnetic fields
• moisture and humidity
• areas with mechanical vibrations
• fluorescent lamps or objects that reflect light and unstable light sources
• temperatures below -40° C (-40° F) and above 50° C (122° F).
  To avoid electrical shock and to preserve the product warranty, DO NOT disassemble the camera. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

POWER SUPPLY

This camera accepts PoE power.
Ensure the supplied voltage meets the power consumption requirements of this camera (15W) before powering the camera on. Incorrect voltage may cause irreparable damage to the video camera and will effectively void the camera warranty.

CLEANING

• For maximum optical clarity, the camera dome or lens must remain clean.
  Use a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints or dust from the dome cover.

• Use a blower to remove dust from the lens.

• Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinners, as they may damage the surface finishes.

CAMERA PARTS AND DEFINITIONS

SURFACE INSTALLATION

Start by preparing the mounting surface. Based on installation location and surface type, supplied screws and anchors may not be adequate.
For pendant or horizontal wall-mounting, purchase the back box (i3 part number: B88) and use a 3/4” NPT pipe or DB60, respectively. Surface installation can be completed without a back box.
Note: After installing the camera, your network camera must be accessible from your local network (LAN).
To complete a surface mount installation:

1. Attach the supplied mounting template to the mounting surface.

2. Drill 3 holes, as marked on the template, and insert 3 supplied anchors into the holes.

3. Drill the conduit hole for the camera cable, if routing the cable upwards. If routing the cable sideways, through the cable exit opening, do not drill the conduit hole.

4. Remove the dome cover. Use the Torx bit provided to loosen three screws, lift upwards and set the dome cover aside.

5. Open the desiccant package (provided) and replace the desiccant already installed on the camera (Fig. 4)

6. Feed the camera cable through the cut conduit hole or through the side cable opening. i3-TRNG-CAMS-Ax88.indd
