How to Install Power CCTV Thermal IP Camera (Bullet)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Assuming that the location of the camera has been set the below instructions are to

be followed.

Hardware Preparation:

1. Check if the package is complete.

2. Inside the box it should have Bullet IP Camera, Screws, installation cd and the Manual. (if it is a

wireless Bullet IP camera or a 4G Bullet it should include 2 high gain antenna to be attached on

both side)

3. Network cable (UTP Cable Cat 5e) and RJ45 (connectors) used for power and network

connection. For Wireless and 4G this will be used for configuration of the IP camera.

4. POE Switch or POE power injector for Wired ONLY.(see Accessories Page for recommended

products)

5. DC 12 V power adaptor if POE injector or switch is not available (optional and purchased

separately).

6. A ROUTER with an active internet connection.

Hardware Installation:

1. First you need to check if the wall or ceiling is safe to drill and to attach the Bullet Camera.

2. Consider the length of the network cable and power cable that will run through the ceiling or

wall for both network connection and power source.

Measure the approximate size of the network cable or power cable prior to screwing the bullet

camera in place. This way you will just connect everything once you find its fixed position.

3. After checking on step 1 and 2 you can proceed with drilling holes for the base of the Bullet

camera. You should also consider the wired hole and where it will comfortably fit into the wall

or ceiling.

4. Tighten and lock the screws and fix the bracket to where there will be a good view of the area

where fire and smoke may occur.

5. Adjust the angle of the bullet camera by losing the screws and finding the right viewing angle of

the camera. Once the right angel is found tighten the screws.

6. Once the camera has been attached to the wall or ceiling you need to power it using a POE

Switch/POE power injector or a 12V DC power adaptor. (If it’s a wireless Bullet IP camera you

will need only 12V DC power adaptor)

7. Connect the cables (network cable/power cable) needed to power up the Bullet camera.

It is better to use a POE switch or POE power injector because it has a double purpose use which is

to power up the bullet camera and have the network connection at the same time. (Note: This is

only applicable to wired bullet IP camera)

8. You will hear a clicking sound when the Bullet camera has power already. You will also notice

that the IR lights surrounding the lens will light up.

9. Re-adjust the lens position and angle according to your desired view.
