This document provides essential instructions for the installation and operation of the Ernitec 0070-1322A 1080P Mercury Network Camera. Before installation, ensure you have all components listed in the packing list, including the camera, screws, anchors, and screwdrivers. Always adhere to local electrical safety standards and use power adapters marked with the LPS standard.
Device structure and connections
The camera features a multi-function switch for OSD menu navigation and mode switching. The power and video cable connection requires a BNC connector for the video signal and a low-voltage power cable (12V DC or 24V AC, check the product label). Ensure no water or liquid enters the device during installation.
Operation and OSD menu
Users can access the OSD main menu using the multi-function switch keys (Up, Down, Left, Right, SET). The camera supports multiple video modes (AHD, TVI, CVBS, CVI). To switch modes, press and hold the corresponding button for 5 seconds:
- Left button: AHD mode
- Right button: TVI mode
- Up button: CVBS mode
- Down button: CVI mode
For PTZ-enabled models, press the SET button for 5 seconds to cycle through Pan/Tilt, Zoom, and Camera modes.
Installation
The camera can be installed on ceilings or walls. Use the provided installation sticker to mark and drill holes for the plastic anchors. For plastic domes, press down and rotate the cover counterclockwise to remove it. For vandal domes, use the T15 screwdriver to unscrew the cover. Ensure the dome cover is installed at least half an hour after the camera is powered on to prevent moisture buildup.
Maintenance and safety
Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a neutral cleanser. Do not block ventilation openings. Keep the device away from heat sources, moisture, and strong magnetic interference. If the device is installed outdoors, take appropriate insect- and moisture-proof measures.
