1. Warnings and operation notes

Please read this guide carefully before you install the dome camera.

Keep this guide for future reference.

Thank you for purchasing an i3 Ax61/Ax62-series camera.

If the system needs to be modified or repaired, contact a certified i3 International

Dealer/Installer. When serviced by unauthorized technician, the system warranty will be voided. Should you have any problems or questions regarding our products, contact your local i3 International Dealer/Installer.

1.1 Precautions

Installation and serving should be performed only by qualified and experienced technicians to conform to all local codes and to maintain your warranty.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the product to rain or moisture.

When installing your Ax61/Ax62 camera be sure to avoid:

• excessive heat, such as direct sunlight or heating appliances

• contaminants such as dust and smoke

• strong magnetic fields

• sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation such as radios or TV transmitters

• moisture and humidity

• areas with mechanical vibrations

• fluorescent lamps or objects that reflect light

• unstable light sources as this may cause flickering

• temperatures below -10° Celsius or 14° Fahrenheit and above 50° Celsius or

122° Fahrenheit.

1.2 Power Supply

Ensure the supplied voltage meets the power consumption requirements of this camera before powering the camera on. Incorrect voltage may cause irreparable damage to the video camera and will effectively void the camera warranty.

PoE power is supported in the indoor (Ax61/Ax62D-series) and outdoor (Ax62V) installations.

Camera Settings:

• Camera Name: The name of the camera will be displayed at the top of the

Internet browser page.

• Video Codec: Set the compression mode to MJPEG or H264

• Resolution: Set the resolution of the recorded video to D1, SVGA, 720P, SXVGA

1080P (full HD)-recommended, 2304x1296, or QXGA (2048x1536).

• Frame Rate: Set the frame rate for the recorded video to 1, 3, 7.5, 15, or 30 fps-recommended (unavailable with 2304 x 1296 and QXGA resolutions)
