User Manual for Uniview IP Camera 0235C8T7

Quick Guide Overview

This document provides essential installation and setup instructions for the Uniview IP Camera. It covers critical procedures such as waterproofing cables, mounting the device, and initial network configuration.

Waterproof Requirements

Proper waterproofing is mandatory for outdoor installations to prevent device damage. Failure to follow these steps may void the warranty.

• Cable Preparation: Connect all necessary cables and cut off unused copper wires.
• Insulation: Use insulation tape to wrap the connection part of each cable.
• Waterproofing: Use self-adhesive waterproof tape. Fully stretch the tape at both ends, wrap the connection tightly, and tighten the tape at both ends to prevent leakage.
• Components: Install supplied waterproof components on the network cable in sequence. Ensure the rubber ring is mounted onto the network cable interface first.
• Unused Cables: If a DC cable is not used, insert the plug into the interface.

Cable Connection

The camera features various interfaces (e.g., RS485, Audio, Power, Network). Ensure all connections are secure and protected. If the camera is installed outdoors, place the cables into a waterproof junction box (purchased separately) after the waterproof treatment is completed.

Micro SD Card Installation

To use local storage, install a Micro SD card inside the camera.

1. Remove the back cover of the camera.
2. Insert the Micro SD card into the slot.
3. Do not hot-plug the SD card while the camera is powered on, as this may damage the device or the card.
4. Disconnect power before installing or uninstalling the card.

Mounting the Camera

The camera supports ceiling or wall mounting. Ensure the mounting surface can support the weight of the device.

1. Detach Plate: Rotate the adapter plate counterclockwise to detach it from the camera.
2. Fix Plate: Attach the sticker to the mounting surface, drill holes, and fix the adapter plate with screws. Ensure the 'FRONT' mark on the plate points in the desired monitoring direction.
3. Attach Camera: Align the 'FRONT' mark on the plate with the gap between 'OPEN' and 'LOCK' on the camera. Rotate the camera counterclockwise until it is securely fastened.

Startup and Web Login

Once installed, connect the power to start the device.

• Default IP Address: 192.168.1.13
• Default Login: Username: admin, Password: 123456
• DHCP: The camera has DHCP enabled by default. If a DHCP server is present, the IP address may be assigned dynamically.

Network Security

To enhance security, it is recommended to:

• Keep firmware up to date.
• Change passwords regularly.
• Enable HTTPS/SSL for encryption.
• Disable unused features like UPnP, SNMP, or Multicast if not required.
• Isolate the video surveillance network from other service networks.
