Camera Cabling Considerations
The OE-C8213 has an IP66 Outdoor rating to prevent water from entering the camera. However, proper installation is
required for this rating. To ensure that the camera is as water resistant as possible, follow these tips:
• Place all cables and the adapter in a dry and well-insulated environment, such as waterproof boxes. The
purpose of the waterproof box is to prevent moisture accumulation inside the camera and moisture penetration
into the cables.
• While running cables, slightly bend the cables into a U-shaped curve to make a low point (as illustrated below).
The purpose is to prevent water from entering the camera along the cables from above.
To ensure a watertight seal, the cable entry hole of the outdoor mounting kit needs to be sealed with thread seal tape to
avoid water from entering the camera.

Power Connection
This camera is compatible with 24vAC and Power over Ethernet (PoE+). Connect power to the camera using the
provided power connector lead, or the terminal connector blocks. If you are connecting 24vAC power, verify the polarity
of the power connection. If you are using PoE+, make sure the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) is in use in the
Network.
1. Connect POSITIVE 24 volt AC power to pin 1.
2. Connect ground wire to pin 2.
3. Connect NEGATIVE 24 volt AC power to pin 3.
NOTE: Be careful not to pull the cables improperly during installation. Fasten the cables after installation is
complete.
NOTE: The GND (ground) wire must be directly connected to the middle pin of the 24vAC power connector.
Failure to connect the ground can cause damage and failure of the camera, and may void the warranty.
Alarm I/O Connection
Using the 14-pin connector, installers can connect 4 digital alarm inputs and 2 digital alarm outputs. The alarm pins are
serviceable for connecting alarm input and output devices such as sensors, sirens, or flashing lights to the surveillance

Assigning an IP Address
OpenEye IP cameras are set to DHCP by default. If a DHCP server is not detected after 2 minutes, the camera will
default to IP address 192.168.51.2. If you are not using a DHCP server, NCM will allow you to batch configure a static IP
address. The default IP address for the camera network on your recorder is 192.168.51.1.
Selecting multiple cameras and entering IP address 192.168.51.2 will set an IP address on all selected cameras,
starting at 192.168.51.2 and increase per camera.
1. Open the Network Camera Manager application.
2. Select applicable camera(s).
3. Input starting Ip address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS.
4. Apply changes.
5. Wait 60 seconds before refreshing NCM.
NOTE: See Network Camera Manager for more information.
Connecting to the IP Camera
To access the camera setup menu, you need to open Network Camera Manager (NCM) utility. NCM is pre-installed on
all OpenEye Recorders and is also available for download on the OpenEye website for installation on your personal
computer or laptop.
1. Open Network Camera Manager.
2. Locate your camera on the Network Camera Manager list.
3. To open the web browser, select the camera and click LOAD.
