4. Specifikationer

5. Opsætningsvejledning

5.1. Wiring the Camera

The SIMICAM IP Camera supports both Power over Ethernet (PoE) and DC 12V power supply. Ensure your network infrastructure (NVR or PoE Switch) is compatible with the chosen power method.

5.1.1. Working with PoE NVR

For PoE cameras, a single Ethernet cable connects the camera to the PoE NVR, providing both power and data transmission. The NVR then connects to a monitor (via HDMI or VGA) and your network (for remote viewing).

5.1.2. Working with PoE Switch

Alternatively, a PoE camera can be powered by a PoE switch. The camera connects to the PoE switch, which then connects to your NVR (if used) and router. The NVR (if used) connects to a monitor and its own power supply.

5.1.3. DC 12V Power Option

If not using PoE, the camera requires a 12V DC power adapter (not included) and an Ethernet connection to a router. PoE cameras can also be powered by 12V DC if a PoE NVR or switch is not used.

5.2. NVR Compatibility

The SIMICAM IP Camera supports ONVIF protocol versions 2.0-2.4, ensuring compatibility with NVRs from various brands including Dahua, Hikvision, and SIMICAM.

5.3. Initial IP Address Configuration

By default, the camera is set to DHCP to obtain an IP address automatically. For system settings, it is recommended to use the Windows IE browser. You may need to install a browser plug-in for the first visit.

To modify the camera's IP address, use the IPCBatchTool software. You can download it from www.vatilon.com (SERVICE -> WIFI Cam Software Download -> IPCBatchTool.zip).

1. Tilslut kameraet til dit netværk.
2. Launch the IPCBatchTool.
3. Søg efter the camera's IP.
4. You can set a fixed IP for the camera. Ensure the camera's IP network segment is consistent with your NVR, computer, and LAN to avoid conflicts. For example, if your camera IP is 192.168.1.10, the network segment is "1", and all other devices on the network should also be in the "1" segment.

6. Betjeningsvejledning

6.1. Accessing Camera Settings via Browser

To access the camera's settings, open Internet Explorer (IE) browser and enter the camera's IP address in the address bar. The default username is admin og standardadgangskoden er 123456. You may need to install a browser plug-in for the first visit.

6.2. Nattesynstilstande

The camera offers several night vision modes:

• Infrared Light On: Black and white video.
• Hvidt lys tændt: Full color video.
• Dual Light Mode: Infrared light is on (black and white video) when no one is present. When motion is detected, the white light turns on, and the video becomes full color.

6.3. Lydoptagelse

The camera features a built-in microphone, allowing it to record audio along with video. This provides authentic sound video recording for enhanced surveillance.

6.4. Video Compression (H.265)

The camera utilizes advanced H.265 video compression, which offers clearer HD resolution at a lower bit rate. This reduces file size by 40%-50%, saving storage space on your HDD and improving transmission speed compared to H.264.

6.5. Enhanced Image Features (HDR & 3DNR)

• HDR (High Dynamic Range): Ensures important details are captured regardless of lighting conditions by automatically adjusting picture brightness for optimized, highly-detailed security video.
• 3DNR (Digital Noise Reduction): Filters out noise from low-light settings and motion, providing a cleaner, more accurate image with better clarity, sharpness, and improved motion detection. It also reduces video file størrelser.

6.6. Motion Detection and Alarm Settings

The camera supports smart motion detection. You can configure specific motion detecting zones and adjust sensitivity to reduce false alerts. When danger is detected, the camera can trigger alerts by sending email notifications.

To configure alarm settings:

1. Access camera settings via browser.
2. Naviger til Alarm Manager.
3. Aktiver Bevægelsesdetektion or Menneskelig opdagelse.
4. Set a schedule for when detection should be active.
5. Definer Område for alarm warning areas.
6. Tilpasse Følsomhed (1-100).
7. Configure actions like Send To Client, Send e-mail, Send To FTP, Lydudgang, Lysudgang, eller Alarm-out Enable.

6.7. Email Alarm Setup

To receive email alerts:

1. Access camera settings via browser.
2. Naviger til Network Manager > Email Setting.
3. Aktiver Email Enable.
4. Enter your email server details (e.g., smtp.163.com), port (e.g., 465), and select encryption type (e.g., ssl).
5. Provide your email username and the email third-party login authorization code (password).
6. Enter sender and recipient email addresses.
7. Klik Send test-e-mail to verify settings.

6.8. Time Zone and Time Settings

Ensure the camera's time and date are accurate for proper recording and event logging.

1. Access camera settings via browser.
2. Naviger til System Manager > Time Setting.
3. Aktiver Aktiver NTP og indstil NTP Server (f.eks. time.windows.com).
4. Juster Tidszone to match your local region.
5. Indstil den aktuelle dato og tid.

6.9. Mobile App Setup (Watilon)

Til fjernbetjening viewing and control, use the "Watilon" app.

   • iPhone: Search "Watilon" in the Apple App Store.
   • Android: Scan the QR code below to install "Watilon".

   

2. Connect to Local Network:
   • Connect the camera to your LAN switch/router.
   • On your mobile device, turn off mobile data, turn on Wi-Fi, and connect to the same local area network as the camera.
3. Register and Add Camera:
   • Register a user account and set a password within the app.
   • Add the camera equipment to the app.

   Vigtig: The camera's IP network segment must be the same as the LAN your mobile device is connected to, otherwise the camera IP cannot be searched by the app.

7. Vedligeholdelse

• Rensning: Rengør kameralinsen regelmæssigt med en blød, tør klud for at sikre en klar billedkvalitet. Undgå slibende rengøringsmidler.
• Vejrbeskyttelse: The camera is IP66 rated for outdoor use, designed to withstand rain, snow, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to 50°C). However, avoid directing high-pressure water jets directly at the camera.
• Firmwareopdateringer: Tjek producentens webwebstedet regelmæssigt for firmwareopdateringer for at sikre optimal ydeevne og sikkerhed.
• Kabelstyring: Sørg for, at alle kabler er sikkert tilsluttet og beskyttet mod miljøskader.

8. Fejlfinding

Q: Cannot connect to the camera via mobile app (Watilon).

A: Ensure your mobile device is connected to the same local Wi-Fi network as the camera, and that mobile data is turned off. Verify that the camera's IP network segment is consistent with your LAN. If the issue persists, try resetting the camera.

Q: Hvad er standardbrugernavnet og -adgangskoden?

A: Standardbrugernavnet er admin og standardadgangskoden er 123456.

Q: Hvordan udfører man en fabriksnulstilling?

A: A factory reset can typically be initiated through the camera's web interface under System Manager > System Maintenance > Simple Recovery or Full Recovery. If you encounter difficulties, please contact technical support.

Q: Is the camera Wi-Fi enabled?

A: No, the camera uses an RJ45 Ethernet connection for connectivity and does not support Wi-Fi.

Q: Does the camera record to an SD card?

A: No, this model does not have internal storage for SD card recording. It is designed to record to an NVR or other network storage solutions.

Q: Can this camera be used with a DVR?

A: This is an IP camera and is designed to work with Network Video Recorders (NVRs), not Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) which typically use analog BNC connections.

Q: Can I use the camera without an NVR, just with a router and app?

A: Yes, you can connect the camera directly to a router via RJ45 and use the mobile app for live viewing. However, for 24/7 recording and advanced features, an NVR is recommended.

9. Brugertips

• For optimal 4K resolution, ensure your NVR is also 4K compatible. If your NVR is 5MP/4MP/1080P, the camera's output will be limited to that resolution.
• Always ensure the camera's IP network segment matches your local network for seamless discovery and connection, especially when using tools like IPCBatchTool or the mobile app.
• Consider using a PoE NVR for a simpler setup with a single cable for power and data, and for reliable 24/7 recording.
• Regularly check the camera's web interface for motion detection settings and email alarm configurations to ensure your surveillance system is active and sending alerts as desired.
