CAMERA MOUNTING &	CHAPTER 1
SPECIFICATIONS

When installing your camera, it is important to select a proper site not only for field of view, but for other considerations as well:

Distance from viewing/recording device. The further the camera is from the NVR or power source, the higher the chances of signal degradation. Typical 100Ω Ethernet Cable provides acceptable signal at distances up to 330' (100m). At greater distances, UL-Listed shielded RG59 should be used. The camera's power supply should be located as near to the camera as possible when the distance exceeds 200' as the power level will drop over extended distances resulting in a decrease in video quality.

Do not place near high voltage wires or other sources of electrical interference. Electrical interference will degrade the quality of the signal.

Place camera out of reach to avoid damage.

Avoid direct exposure to weather. Do not place the camera where rain or snow will hit the lens directly nor should the camera be placed so that the sun or bright light shines directly into the lens. Your camera is weatherproof, but it will not work when submerged in water. Ensure that all power and video connections are not directly exposed to water and are protected from the elements.

Do not place camera behind a window. If there is a light source behind the camera, it can cause a reflection in the window that will obscure events on the other side of the glass. Likewise, the camera's infrared LEDs will reflect off the glass and shine into the lens, thus degrading the image.

Light levels should be approximately the same between camera and target area. A camera in a brightly-lit area looking into a shaded area, or vice versa, may produce inadequate results.

	The above are guidelines and the optimal
	location for your camera will depend on your
	unique circumstances. As a general rule, the
	locations highlighted in green in the picture to
	the right indicate the best locations to mount
	your camera. Both locations are sheltered
	from rain or snow and offer good sight lines
	to allow your camera to monitor a wide
	area. Because your camera is weatherproof,
	it requires less protection than weather-
	resistant cameras and it can be placed in
	more exposed locations if needed. Keep in
	mind that this camera is designed to operate
	between 14°F to 122°F (-10°C to 50°) with a
	relative humidity of up to 95%) and consider
	wind chill and other environmental factors
	when selecting your location.	PICTURE 1-1
	Your camera comes with both a ceiling and
	wall mount. Where you locate your camera
	will determine which mount you will need to
	use. The mounting surface must be sturdy
	and able to hold at least five times the
	camera's total weight.

Because your camera is weatherproof, it requires less protection than weather-resistant cameras and it can be placed in more exposed locations if needed. Keep in mind that most Q-See cameras are designed to operate between 14°F to 122°F (-10°C to 50°) with a relative humidity of up to 95%) and consider wind chill and other environmental factors when selecting your location.

Specialty cameras are also available from Q-See which are able to operate in more extreme environments.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

Most users prefer to operate their systems with the DVRs recording only when motion is detected. This provides the most efficient use of the hard drive's capacity, plus making it easier for a recording to be located. However, if the a camera's location has a lot of "environmental" motion, such as a fan, wind, or the like, you will receive a lot of "false alarms." Usually, these events can be avoided by simply adjusting the placement of the camera. Other situations may require some fine-tuning of your settings. Chapter 8 Alarms, covers these settings in detail, but some easily avoidable situations are presented below:

TV/Computer Screens. If the camera can see a video screen, it will trigger a motion alarm any time the screen changes, whether there is a video or simply a screen saver. The screen can be masked out as described in Section 4.2. You can also reduce the level of motion sensitivity in specific areas of the screen by following the instructions in Section 8.3.

Fans/Machinery. Motion is motion and if machinery within the camera's field of view starts automatically, it will cause an alert. Similarly, if the camera is mounted on a wall with machinery on the other side that causes it to vibrate, that can also cause it to detect motion. Moving machinery within the camera's field of view may be masked off as mentioned above, or motion detection may be turned off for that channel. If there is another camera that covers access to the area where the machinery is located, you can set it so that the first camera will only be recording when triggered by a motion event detected by this second camera. See "Triggers" in described in Section 8.3.

Bugs. An occasional insect flying through the field of view is usually not enough to trigger an alert. However, some flying insects are attracted to infrared light and will swarm the camera. This is usually a temporary situation that occurs at only a certain time of the year. Lighting the area with yellow "bug light" of sufficient brightness can keep the camera operating in daylight mode and keep the infrared LEDs turned off. A second solution is to set the channel to record all the time, and turn motion detection off at night until "bug season" is over. Reducing the motion

sensitivity (Section 8.3) can also reduce alerts as can using another camera to trigger recording as described above.

Additionally, keep your cameras clear of spider webs as the movement of the webs due to wind or critters in the web will cause an alert. The reflection of the infrared off the webs and back into the camera will also reduce the night vision range.

Snow/Rain. As with bugs, this is usually a seaonal event and may require motion detection to be temporarily disabled to avoid false alarms. However, positioning the camera further under shelter, such as closer to the wall and away from the edge of the eaves, can make the rain or snow too small for the camera to notice. Adjusting motion sensitivity may also help in some situations.

MOUNTING AND ADJUSTING DOME CAMERAS

Remove the camera cover using the included hex wrench to unscrew the three retaining bolts.

The camera's lens can only be positioned vertically (up and down) with the horizontal direction being determined by how the camera is positioned. Ideally, you should temporarily connect the camera to the NVR (or network) and use the QC View mobile app to determine the best angle for your camera.

Once you've determined the proper position and location for the camera, use the included

mounting template to drill the holes for the PICTURE 1-5 plastic anchors and cable (if needed).

insert the screws into the anchors through the camera base plate and tighten. If the camera is connected, then make final adjustments to the lens position. Make sure that the clear dome is free of dust, fingerprints and other contaminants before reattaching the cover.

RESET BUTTON AND SD CARD

Both the QCN7002D and QCN8001D have a Reset button accessible only when the camera cover has been removed. This is only for use if the camera becomes inoperable.

The QCN8001D also has a slot for a Micro SD card which allows the camera to record images and video when it is operating on its own network (ie; not directly connected to the NVR with the Ethernet cable. Please see Section 3.5 for instructions on recording with an SD card.

QCN8002B

In addition to its video surveillance functions, the QCN8001B is able to accept input from other devices and either pass their signals back to an NVR, or utilize them to trigger recording or alert actions when it is being used in a stand-alone role. The camera has 32GB of internal memory allowing it to record video and still images without the need for an NVR.

By using the audio input and output to connect both a microphone and speaker - and with similar audio equipment on the user's end, two-way communication can take place. Two alarm sensors can be connected to the alarm block with a single output to an audible alarm, an external alarm input or to a DVR. When used with an NVR or on a network, the alarm signal can trigger recording and its signal can be transmitted via the Cat 5 cable to an NVR.

ADJUSTING THE LENS

The QCN8001B has a lens that can be manually adjusted between 3.3mm and 12mm. The 3.3mm setting provides a 67° field of view. The 12mm setting enlarges subjects by approximately three times compared to the 3.3mm configuration, with the field of view narrowing to 22°.

The camera is set at the factory to the 3.3mm position. To adjust the lens, you will have to first remove the black cover at the front of the camera by twisting it counter-clockwise. Take care not to damage the cover or the threads during this step.

PICTURE 1-7

Once the cover has been removed, you can adjust the zoom and focus using the two knobs located on the lens body behind the LED circuit board. You may need to loosen them by twisting the knob counter-clockwise before making the adjustments. Do not apply excessive force to the knobs as they can snap off, leaving your camera unable to be adjusted.

PICTURE 1-8

It is recommended that you have some way to view the camera's view while making the adjustments to ensure that the image is properly in focus and includes the entire area that you wish to monitor. This can be done using a camera tester connected to the BNC Video Out plug or by connecting it to an NVR where you can monitor it using the video display. A third method would be by connecting the camera to a network using the steps described in Chapter 2 and then accessing it remotely using a mobile device with a sufficiently large screen clarity. However, with this method it is important to keep in mind that mobile devices use the lower-quality substream video so final adjustments may still need to be made.

SD CARD

The QCN8002B also has a slot for a Micro SD card which allows the camera to record images and video when it is operating on its own network (ie; not directly connected to the NVR with the Ethernet cable. To access, remove the back of the camera by loosening the four screws holding the stand to the camera. Please see Section 3.5 for

instructions on recording with an SD card.

By using the audio input and output to connect both a microphone and speaker - and with similar audio equipment on the user's end, two-way communication can take place. Two alarm sensors can be connected to the alarm block with a single output to an audible alarm, an external alarm input or to a DVR. When used with an NVR or on a network, the alarm signal can trigger recording and its signal can be transmitted via the Cat 5 cable to an NVR.

Remove and discard the foam insert from around the camera head. This protective packaging will interfere with camera movement.

We have also included fabric gloves with your camera to help you prevent getting fingerprints or scratches inside or outside of the clear glass dome or camera lens. Handle the camera with care at all times - especially when the cover has been removed. Do not attempt to move the camera lens by hand to avoid damaging the mechanism.

Once you've determined the proper position and location for the camera, use the included mounting template to drill the holes for the plastic anchors and cable (if needed).

Ceiling Mount

Mounting the camera to an overhead surface will be by attaching the camera's base directly to the surface using screws and anchors as needed. We have included screws and plastic anchors suitable to most situations, but you must use your judgement regarding whether they are suitable for your specific situation and mounting surface. The mounting surface and hardware must be sturdy and able to hold at least five times the camera's total weight.

1. Use the included adhesive mounting template to drill the mounting holes - and the hole for the cable to pass through, if needed.

2. Insert anchors into the holes - if needed.

3. If you will be running the camera cable through the mounting surface, make the connection to the RG45 cable at this time. Feed the cable into the hole, making certain that it does

not subject to pinching, tight bends or other severe constrictions as this could damage the cable and lead to loss of control and video.

4. Line up the mounting holes on the base of the camera to the holes in your mounting surface and secure the camera

5. Reattach the camera's cover. Take care to remove dust, debris or fingerprints from inside clear dome beforehand.

CONNECTING IP CAMERAS	CHAPTER 2
2.1 WHAT ARE IP CAMERAS?

Internet Protocol (IP) or Network cameras differ from conventional video cameras in that each is a stand-alone device with a built-in processor of its own. Rather than being processed and encoded on the recorder, the video is instead processed and encoded on the camera itself before being sent to the recorder. The onboard processor allows the camera to operate on its own with the video being available directly from the camera itself. The video can be recorded onto internal memory (depending on model), sent to an FTP drive, accessed by a computer or be streamed directly to a Digital Network Video Recorder (NVR) using standard network protocols.

When it is connected to the NVR - whether locally, through a network or over the Internet the NVR treats an IP camera as a peripheral device with the NVR serving as the control interface and recording system.

Q-See's QC-series NVRs feature an industry-exclusive built-in Power Over Ethernet (POE) block that allows you to connect up to four IP cameras directly to it up to 200 feet away using RJ-45 (Ethernet) cables without the need to purchase a separate power block or to locate the cameras near power outlets. The Ethernet cable will both power the camera and deliver the video signal to your system. Cameras beyond the number of POE ports, or those located away from the NVR will require a separate power source, such as from the powered port of a POE hub, or from a power supply. This power source must be located between the camera and the network. It is not possible to power a camera through a network or over the Internet using a POE port.

Cameras connecting to your system over a network (local or Internet) will also ultimately connect through your network's router and their signal will be received by the NVR through its Network port. Cameras located outside of the network, and those being used as stand-alone devices, will be accessed by using their web address - whether by entering it into the NVR, a web browser, or through a surveillance program.

2.2 CONNECTING AN IP CAMERA

LOCALLY CONNECTING TO AN NVR

Your IP camera delivers video through a standard Cat 5, 5A or 6 Ethernet cable connected to the RJ-45 socket at the end of the cable leading from the camera. Under most conditions, power is delivered to the camera through this cable when it is connected to a POE block. Regardless of how it is connected to the NVR, it is best to use a continuous length of cable, whenever possible, rather than multiple short segments as each intervening connection could result in a small loss of power and signal.

The following directions are for connecting your IP camera(s) to one of Q-See's QC-Series NVRs with a built-in POE block of powered Ethernet ports. If you are using another brand of NVR, please consult that system's user manual.

STEP 1. Connect one of the long Ethernet cables to the socket on the wire leading from the camera.

PICTURE 2-1

STEP 2. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into any of the Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports on the back of the NVR or into a stand-alone POE block.

In the latter cases, the camera will also need to be connected to a network.

STEP 3. Repeat for additional cameras.

PICTURE 2-2

Using the Power Over Ethernet Block

Your NVR's POE block will power up to four cameras while receiving their video signals. This is the primary and preferred method to connect cameras to your NVR. This feature cannot be expanded through use of a network switch. These ports are also not to be used to connect the NVR to a network router. When an IP camera is connected to the NVR through the POE port, it will receive power immediately, but there may be a delay of up to a minute before the camera's signal appears on the screen as the system establishes connectivity.

If you are unsure, and if your camera has	NVR
infrared LEDs, you may cup your hand over
the lens area to activate the infrared night
vision mode. You will see a faint red glow			POE
from the LEDs confirming that the camera
has power.		Block

PICTURE 2-3

CAMERAS CONNECTED THROUGH A NETWORK

There are two types of networks – local (LAN or Intranet) and Internet (or WAN). Cameras can be accessed by the NVR over both types.

Local Networks	NVR		Network				Router
For cameras positioned too far away to
				Port
reasonably run a network cable directly to the			POE					POE
NVR, you can connect it to the same network
as the NVR and the system will be able to		Block
access and use them.
Ultimately, each camera will have to connect
to the same router that the NVR is connected
to. They will need to be connected to a			PICTURE 2-4
power source on their side of the network -

preferably a POE - as the POE block on the NVR itself is unable to provide power through the network.

Alternately, if your NVR was bundled with cameras, they may include a power input as additional power option. You will need to acquire a power adapter that matches the ratings listed on the camera itself if you are not connecting them to a POE.

The NVR will connect to these cameras through the same cable that it uses to communicate with the network.

Connections Over the Internet

A third connection option is via the Internet. This method is more complicated, but it allows the user to view cameras that are located in a completely different building – or region – from the NVR itself. In essence, your NVR will be remotely monitoring those cameras. As such, the user will need to forward ports using the IP Tool software included on the Manuals and Software CD to obtain the IP address for any camera that will be accessed over the Internet. Full instructions are covered in Chapter 2.
