Introduction

Key Features – IP-CAM828

The NiteDevil HERO IP Camera is a 4K camera that can capture color images in low light conditions. It also has a built-in warning strobe.

Connections and Dimensions

IP-CAM828
The camera can be powered in two ways:

1. 12V DC via the 2.1mm DC socket with a current consumption of 420mA. The camera is polarity sensitive, so connections must be made correctly.
2. PoE 48V RJ45 socket when connecting to a ZIP PoE NVR. Plug the camera directly into the NVR’s built-in PoE switch. After approximately 1 minute of being connected, the camera should become visible.

The camera’s dimensions are provided, excluding the bracket.

Mounting and SD Card Installation
To perform local recording on the camera, an SD card must be installed. The recording time will vary depending on the size of the SD card and encoding settings. The following are the maximum
recording times for different SD card sizes:

• 32GB SD Card: 31 hours
• 64GB SD Card: 62 hours
• 128GB SD Card (MAX): 124 hours
• 256GB SD Card (MAX): 248 hours

The camera can be set to only record when triggered by motion detection, alarm input, or AI smart, maximizing the recording time achievable. Note that power must be removed from the camera when inserting or removing the SD card.

Mini-Eyeball
A template is provided in the box for marking the hole positions for fixing screws.

Setup Options
 PoE ZIP NVR
When connecting to a ZIP PoE NVR, plug the camera directly into the NVR’s built-in PoE switch. After approximately 1 minute of being connected, the camera should become visible. The 100m distance for a camera can be increased when the PoE Mode is set to EPoE. In the menu on a ZIP PoE NVR, go to Video > IP Channels > PoE Mode.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Choose one of the two methods to power the camera: either via a 12V DC connection or a PoE 48V RJ45 socket.
2. If performing local recording, install an SD card in the camera. Note that the recording time will depend on the size of the SD card and encoding settings.
3. For optimal recording time, set the camera to only record when triggered by motion detection, alarm input, or AI smart.
4. If connecting to a ZIP PoE NVR, plug the camera directly into the NVR’s built-in PoE switch. In the menu on a ZIP PoE NVR, go to: Video > IP Channels > PoE Mode to increase the distance for a camera when the PoE Mode is set to EPoE.
5. When mounting the camera, use the provided template to mark the hole positions for fixing screws.
6. Remove power from the camera before inserting or removing the SD card.

Powering the camera
Option 1 – Power the camera from 12V DC (via the 2.1mm DC Socket), the current consumption is 420mA. The camera is polarity sensitive so connections must be correctly made.

Option 2 – Power the camera using a PoE 48V RJ45 Socket
When connecting ZIP PoE NVR plug the camera directly into the NVR built-in PoE switch. The camera should automatically become visible after being connected for approximately 1 minute.

Dimensions

Mounting and SD Card Installation
For local recording on the camera itself, an SD card must be installed. Recording time will vary dependent on SD card size and encoding settings

• 32GB SD Card 31 hours
• 64GB SD Card 62 hours
• 128GB SD Card (MAX) 124 hours
• 256GB SD Card (MAX) 248 hours

The camera can be set to only record when triggered via motion detection, alarm input, or AI smart, this maximizes the recording time achievable. Remove power from the camera when inserting/removing the SD card.
