How to connect the camera to your network
You can power the camera in two ways. Both use a regular Ethernet cable for the network connection.
Option 1 (recommended): PoE
PoE switch + 2 Ethernet cables
A PoE switch efficiently supplies both Ethernet and power to the camera, simplifying cabling and cutting costs. With a reach of up to 100 meters, it allows flexibility for large installations.
Option 2: power adapter
12V DC Power adapter (current output of 1A is enough) + 1 Ethernet cable
Through the power adapter, the camera receives its necessary power supply, and the Ethernet cable provides essential internet connectivity.
How to mount the camera
For the physical installation, insert three expansion bolts into the ceiling or wall and fix the camera with three mounting screws.
To position the camera in angles, use the Allen wrench.
Planning to install the camera outdoors? Ensure your connection is rain-protected with the included plastic cover. Remember to utilize the provided rubber wheel to secure the cover tightly and effectively.

Finding the camera's local IP address (if needed)
You usually won't need this for the setup above, but it helps with troubleshooting, advanced configuration, or accessing the camera directly on your network. There are two ways to find it.
Option 1: Check your router's device list
Log in to your router's web interface and look for the list of connected devices. The camera's local IP address is listed next to its name or MAC address.
Option 2: Scan your network
Windows: use Angry IP Scanner or Advanced IP Scanner.
Mac: open the Terminal app and run
arp -a | grep MAC, replacing MAC with the camera's MAC address. You can also use IP Network Scanner (free for up to 6 devices) or Angry IP Scanner.
