OVERVIEW
Product Description
This user manual is applicable to the latest R-series of Camius IP cameras (BoltX5R, Iris5R, Spot8R,
Spot8RS). The list of the IP camera models covered by this user manual will be kept updated periodically.
Camius IP cameras are digital online surveillance cameras embedded with a Web server and capable of
independent operation, giving user access to real-time monitoring through a web browser or surveillance
software from any location.
Camius IP cameras comply with H.264/ H.265 / H.264+ / H.265+ / MJPEG high profile encoding standards.
Authorized remote users can gain access to real-time monitoring using the IP address or hostname or P2P
ID of the IP camera. Camius IP cameras are easy to install and operate.
Remote management allows different authorization levels for users.
The IP camera can be set to detect various events like an object moving in view of the camera or sound
picked up by the built-in microphone and then send an alert to the owner’s smartphone or a snapshot to
their Email address.
Technology
A high-performance single SOC chip is used as the media processor for audio/video acquisition,
compression and transmission/transfer. Standard H.264/ H.265 / H.264+ / H.265+ / MJPEG encoding
algorithms are applied to ensure clear and smooth video representation and transfer performance.
Embedded Web Server offers users access to real-time surveillance and remote control of front-end
camera.
Glossary & Defaults
•
IP camera or IPC or Device refers to the network camera!
•
The default factory IP address for IP camera is 192.168.1.168 unless DHCP is enabled on the
network; in which case the IP camera will be assigned an IP address by the gateway (router), and if
the IP camera was paired with a PoE NVR then it’ll be assigned an IP like 10.10.25.151 and in this
case the NVR manages access to the camera.
•
The default factory administrator username for IP camera is admin (in lowercase), the IP camera
will require the user to setup a password on first browser access, there’s no need to set a password
for a direct PoE connection with the Camius NVR.
•
The default Web port number is 80 and the default media (client) port number is 9988.
•
•
If the IP camera has a hard reset button, you can use it to reset the camera’s password and
settings.
Please note,!in case any of the information in this manual didn’t apply to the product please reach out to us
and we’ll make sure you get the updated information by submitting a support ticket using the following

IP CAMERA ACCESS
Camius IP cameras can be powered up in one of three methods:
1. (Mode 1) By connecting it into the PoE port on your Camius NVR (Recommended).
2. (Mode 2) By connecting it to a PoE switch or a PoE injector on your network
3. (Mode 3) Using a 12VDC 1-2A power supply
To verify that your IP camera is powered up:
-
Physical check: The Infrared LEDs around the lens illuminate faint red light in the dark while the camera is
on.
-
Search Using the Device Config tool on your PC or Mac.
-
Search Using the VMS Software on your PC or Mac.
-
Search using the Camius View App on your smartphone or tablet.
For direct access to your IP Camera configuration, make sure the camera is powered using Mode 2.
If a PoE switch or a PoE injector is not used, you can power the camera using mode 3:
Plug a UL-listed 12VDC-2AMP power supply into the DC plug on the camera wire, and make sure the
ethernet cable is used between the IP camera and the router or a switch on your local network.
Mode 2 and Mode 3 will allow the user to access the camera directly, giving access to its native settings
using the VMS software or Internet Explorer.
While Mode 1 (direct connection to the PoE on your NVR) will list the camera under the NVRs interface and
camera management can only be done on the NVR.
In order to configure audio on your Camius IP camera
Make sure your IP camera is connected using Mode 2 or 3; navigate to Setup / Device / Audio for audio
settings.

6.1 Disk
This feature is available to those IP cameras which have a built-in SD slot for a micro SD. The supported
capacity is 256GB. We recommend using a high-class micro SD.
Once you insert an SD card into the IP camera, the system will auto-detect the total capacity and balance
capacity of SD card, type of the card, the total, and remaining free capacity of time to record.
If the SD card status is displayed as ‘Unformatted’, please click ‘Format Hard Disk’
!
It will prompt you to enter your administrator password. Once the disk is formatted, you will get a message
confirming that the disk formatting was successful.
