2.2 Installazione fisica

1. Posizione di montaggio: Choose a suitable outdoor location that provides the desired 180° panoramic view and is within range of your PoE network.
2. Montaggio sicuro: Use the provided mounting plate and screws to securely attach the camera to a wall or ceiling. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the camera's weight.
3. Connessione via cavo: Connect a standard Ethernet cable from your PoE switch/NVR to the camera's Ethernet port. Use the waterproof connector to protect the connection from environmental elements.

2.3 Initial Configuration (EPTZ Function)

To fully utilize the camera's EPTZ (Electronic Pan Tilt Zoom) and IVS features, initial configuration via the camera's web interface is required. The following video demonstrates how to set up the EPTZ function, which involves configuring IVS rules.

1. Accesso Web Interfaccia: Log into the camera's web interfaccia utilizzando il suo indirizzo IP.
2. Smart Plan Setup: Navigate to the AI function and set up a "Smart Plan," typically a "General Mode" for 24/7 operation.
3. IVS Rule Configuration: Enable IVS and add rules such as "Tripwire" and "Intrusion." Adjust sensitivity and define the detection areas (tripwires or intrusion zones) on the live view.
4. EPTZ Linkage: Go to the PTZ module. Enable "Linkage Track" and select your preferred display mode (e.g., single view with region of interest or multi-view). Adjust the tracking duration as needed.

3. Istruzioni per l'uso

3.1 Panoramic and PTZ Control

The camera provides a 180° panoramic view, allowing you to monitor a wide area. The PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) functionality enables you to remotely adjust the camera's viewing angle and zoom level. The EPTZ feature, once configured, allows for digital zooming on subjects within the panoramic view without physical camera movement, providing detailed close-ups of detected events.

3.2 Sistema video intelligente (IVS)

The IVS features enhance surveillance by providing intelligent detection capabilities:

• Tripwire: Attiva un allarme quando un oggetto attraversa una linea virtuale predefinita.
• Intrusione: Triggers an alarm when an object enters or exits a predefined virtual area.
• Riconoscimento facciale: Identifies human faces within the camera's field of view.

These rules can be configured to detect humans and/or motor vehicles, providing tailored alerts.

3.3 Smart Dual Light and Starlight Technology

The camera integrates Starlight technology for exceptional low-light performance, delivering full-color images even in near-dark conditions. The Smart Dual Light system intelligently activates warm lights to provide full-time color imaging when ambient light is insufficient, ensuring clear visibility day and night.

3.4 Comunicazione bidirezionale

Utilize the built-in microphone and speaker for two-way audio communication. This feature is useful for deterring intruders or communicating with visitors.

4. Manutenzione

• Pulizia regolare: Pulire periodicamente l'obiettivo e l'alloggiamento della fotocamera con un panno morbido eamp panno per garantire una nitidezza ottimale dell'immagine. Evitare detergenti abrasivi.
• Aggiornamenti del firmware: Controllare il produttore website regularly for firmware updates. Keeping your camera's firmware up-to-date ensures optimal performance, security, and access to new features.
• Ispezione dei cavi: Inspect all cables and connections for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion, especially in outdoor environments.

5. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

• Nessuna alimentazione/Nessuna immagine:
  • Verify the PoE connection to your switch/NVR.
  • Ensure your PoE switch/NVR provides sufficient power (e.g., 25W+ for PTZ cameras).
  • Controllare che il cavo Ethernet non sia danneggiato.
• Scarsa qualità dell'immagine:
  • Pulisci l'obiettivo della fotocamera.
  • Check network bandwidth and connection stability.
  • Adjust image settings (brightness, contrast, etc.) in the web interfaccia.
• IVS/EPTZ Not Working:
  • Ensure IVS and EPTZ linkage are enabled and correctly configured in the web interfaccia (vedere Sezione 2.3).
