Using this camera is easy. First, find a suitable indoor or outdoor location for installation. Make sure to use the included mounting hardware to securely attach the camera. Connect it to a power source, either through DC12V or PoE. Then, connect it to your network using the RJ - 45 Ethernet port. You can access the camera through the management software like SmartICRSS or DSS, or use your smartphone (iPhone, iPad, Android) for remote viewing.
When using the camera, note that it can operate in a wide temperature range from - 40°F to +140°F and humidity up to 95%. However, avoid exposing it to extreme conditions for long periods. Also, since it has a Smart IR function, it will automatically adjust the illumination in low - light conditions, but you can also set it to manual if you prefer.
For maintenance, keep the camera lens clean to ensure clear images. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it. Check the power and network connections regularly to make sure they are secure. If you use a Micro SD card for edge storage, check its capacity periodically and transfer or delete data as needed. The camera also has a factory reset option in case you encounter any issues with its settings.
