Notes and warnings

Product description

SV-BB331-E4D is a camera designed for real-time video surveillance. Due to the QuadHD resolution, the transmitted image is clear and detailed. PoE technology allows installing the camera everywhere, regardless of the location of the power supply. It also saves on the cost of power cables and makes the installation simple and not time-consuming.

Features and capabilities:

• Night vision provides clear images even in low-light conditions;
• Motion detection automatically records the incident to a memory card.
• Video archive provides options for saving recordings: to a memory card for local storage or to network storage¹. If the local storage fails, all recordings will remain available on the network storage.
• PoE power supply.

Reset to factory settings

There are two ways to perform a factory reset:

• Software reset. In the device web interface, enter "System settings", select "Configuration" and click "Reset to factory default settings".
• Hardware reset. Hard reset. To access the reset button, use a screwdriver to remove the screws on the access panel located at the bottom of the device. Then press and hold the reset button until the device restarts.

Operating conditions

• The camera is designed for indoor and outdoor usage.
• Do not install the device near heat sources.
• Do not expose the device to smoke, dust, water or other liquids. Do not mechanically damage the device.
• Do not open the device case. There are no user-serviceable elements inside the camera.
• At the end of its service life, do not dispose of the camera with normal household waste. Take it to an electronics recycling center.

Device installation

Selecting the camera location

1. Determine the areas that need to be monitored. Consider that entrance doors, windows, and various objects may obstruct the camera's field of view and reduce it.
2. Pay attention to the lighting where the camera is installed to ensure a clear image. Avoid direct sunlight and other bright light sources directed at the camera lens. Also consider light sources that may create shadows or glare in the image.
3. Consider the location of the power supply. The use of extension cords or additional cables is not recommended, as this may impair the quality of the power supply.

Mounting using a bracket

1. Select a location for the camera based on the recommendations in the "Selecting a camera location" section.
2. On the selected surface, mark where the four holes for the bracket will be drilled. Use the supplied template for this purpose.
   
3. Separate the template from the backing and stick it to the wall.
   
4. Drill four holes according to the template. Use dowels if necessary.
   
5. Align the holes in the wall with the holes in the bracket and secure the camera with screws. 
   
6. To adjust the camera's rotation, loosen the screw at the base of the camera. Adjust the position, then tighten the screw again.
   
   
7. Place the plastic ring on the camera, aligning the tabs with the slots on the device's body. Screw the ring on as far as it will go.
   
   A view of the camera placed on the wall is shown in the figure below.
   
8. Connect the Ethernet cable as shown in the image below: place the O-ring (2) onto the sealed cap of the network interface (1). Slide the retaining nut (6) and the cable gland (4) onto the Ethernet cable (3). Insert the Ethernet cable (3) into the network interface. Tighten the cable gland (4) and secure it to the sealed cap (1). Place the waterproof ring (5) onto the cable gland (4). Make sure the ring fits snugly against the connector. Tighten the locking nut (6) and secure it to the cable gland (4). After connecting the Ethernet cable and insulating it, connect the power cable to the power connector (7).  
   The assembled cable is shown in the figure below.
