III. Product Installation

A. Monitor Setting
i. Right-Click on the desktop. Select “ Properties”

ii. Change color quality to highest (32bit).

6/40
B. Hardware Installation Assignment
i. Connect power adaptor.
Connect IP Cam to PC or network with Ethernet cable.
Set up the network configurations according to the network environment.
For further explanation, please refer to chapter VI, “Network
Configuration for IP CAMERA”.
ii. PoE ( Power Over Ethernet)(Optional) 802.3af, 15.4W PoE Switch is
recommended

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that integrates power into a

standard LAN infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to the
network device, such as an IP phone or a network camera, using the
same cable as that used for network connection. It eliminates the need
for power outlets at the camera locations and enables easier application
of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to ensure 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week operation.
