4.2 Connessione di rete e alimentazione

The IPC-T54IR-ZE camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying wiring by delivering both power and data through a single Ethernet cable. Connect the camera to a PoE-enabled switch or NVR.

• Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the camera's network port. Use the waterproof connector for outdoor installations to protect the connection.
• Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a PoE port on your network switch or NVR.
• Alternatively, if PoE is not available, the camera can be powered via a 12V DC power adapter (not included) and connected to a standard network switch.

4.3 Configurazione iniziale

Upon initial connection, the camera will obtain an IP address via DHCP if available. If your network uses a different subnet or requires a static IP, you may need to use the manufacturer's configuration tool (e.g., Dahua Config Tool) to locate and adjust the camera's IP settings. Refer to the detailed software manual for specific instructions on network configuration and device initialization.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

5.1 Accesso alla fotocamera

Accedi alla diretta della telecamera view and settings through a compatible Network Video Recorder (NVR), a PC with CCTV management software (e.g., Blue Iris, iSpy), or a dedicated mobile application (e.g., DMSS app). Ensure your device is on the same network as the camera.

5.2 Adjusting the Motorized Lens

The motorized vari-focal lens (2.7mm-12mm) allows you to remotely adjust the zoom and focus. This can typically be done through your NVR interface or the camera's web interface/mobile app. Adjust the lens to achieve the desired field of view and image clarity for your surveillance area.
