Installing the CM7000

Run Cat 5 cable from an enclosure-mounted PoE (Power over Ethernet) supply device to a single-gang box at the intended camera location (Legrand DA2400 and DA1458 PoE products are suitable). Attach the Cat 5/PoE cable to the camera's cable RJ45 jack and feed the camera cables through the hole in the supplied wallplate; mount the wallplate to the single-gang box using the rubber gasket. Attach the camera to the wallplate with the 3 provided screws and position for use.

Specifications

Minimum Recommended Computer System

• Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or 7 (32-bit or 64-bit)
• Intel Pentium 4 or higher, 2 GHz
• 1 GB RAM (4 GB recommended for larger systems)
• DirectX 8.0 or above

Connecting to the Camera

DHCP (Recommended)

The CM7000 is a DHCP client by default and will automatically get an IP address from the network router. The camera can be located via UPnP (PC, Network and Sharing Center) or Bonjour (Mac, Safari's Bonjour list — enable via Safari > Preferences > Advanced if not visible). Alternately, find the assigned IP from the router's DHCP client list or an IP sniffer tool.

Static IP

If no DHCP server is present or DHCP offer times out (3 minutes), the camera defaults to IP 192.168.1.168.

1. Connect the computer directly to the camera via Ethernet cable.
2. Set the computer's IP to Static 192.168.1.XXX (1<XXX<255, not 168), subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway blank.
3. Power on the CM7000 and open the browser (IE or Firefox).
4. Navigate to 192.168.1.168/index.html.
5. Install the plug-in/ActiveX prompt if shown, then the home page displays live video (anonymous access is enabled by default).
6. Click the "Configuration" icon (tools icon, lower-left) and log in with the default admin username/password (both admin).

Home Web Page Controls

The home page provides real-size/window-size toggle, brightness/contrast/saturation sliders, language switch (Chinese, English, Russian), play/stop, snapshot capture (default: C:\Capture), record (default: C:\Record), sound on/off, talk, playback, and local configuration (file paths, video delay/smoothness).

Basic Settings

System Settings

Displays and sets the current system time. Time can sync via NTP server, local computer, manual entry, or keep current display time. OSD (on-screen display) date format is selectable. Remember to click Save after changes.

Video & Audio Settings

• OSD: time stamp and identifying text on the video screen; position top or bottom.
• Primary/Secondary Stream: preferred codec (H.264 recommended; MJPEG used automatically for remote smartphone viewing), profile, resolution, bit rate, max frame rate, bit rate control (constant/variable), image quality, I-frame interval.
• Audio: preferred codec (PCMU, PCMA, AAC), microphone/speaker volume, light condition (select local power frequency to avoid flicker under fluorescent light — default Outdoor).
• Tip: if MJPEG is selected, reduce max frame rate to save bandwidth and improve image quality.

CMOS Settings

Flip (vertical/horizontal/both), shutter speed (10 options: Auto, 1/30 to 1/10000), IR Cut setting (manual or automatic sensor-controlled), IR Cut sensitivity (5 levels), color mode (Color, Black/White, Auto — Auto recommended for shutter speed, IR LED, IR Cut, and color mode).

Networking Settings

IP address via DHCP (default) or static configuration; DNS configuration (automatic or manual); HTTP port (default 80).

• If behind a router with port forwarding, use a static IP to avoid address changes after router reboot.
• TCP ports above 5000 are suggested for HTTP port forwarding, since some ISPs block inbound port 80 (e.g. change HTTP to 8088).
• An RTSP port is also needed for remote H.264 viewing: RTSP port = 2000 + HTTP port. Example: HTTP 8088 → RTSP 10088. Both ports must be forwarded in the router.

DDNS Settings

Enable DDNS, select ISP type from the pull-down list (or self-define the DDNS address), configure site name, account, and password. A STUN server can help penetrate non-symmetric router NAT.

SIP Settings (Alarm Calling)

The CM7000 can register as a SIP endpoint to call out when an alarm triggers, or allow permitted numbers to call in and check the video.

Advanced Settings

User Management

Add or revise users, set passwords, choose privilege level. "Allow Anonymous Viewing" permits any viewer who knows the camera's IP/FQDN to view (but not change) settings.

Maintenance

• Restart: reboots the camera.
• Restore: resets to factory default, wiping configuration except IP address.
• Firmware/Config upgrade: via TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS; server paths and XML config password can be set; automatic upgrade interval default 10080 minutes.

SMTP Settings (Email Alarm)

Enable SMTP, set server/port, from/to email addresses (up to 3 recipients), credentials, SSL, and customizable subject/body. Use "Test" to confirm the configuration sends successfully.

FTP Settings (Upload Alarm)

Enable FTP client, set server/port (default 21), credentials, and upload path. "Test" verifies the connection.

Alarm Server Settings (VMS/HTTP)

Configure a server name, URL, and credentials for uploading alarm events to a supported VMS or third-party HTTP server via the GS HTTP API.

Periodic Snapshot

Enable and set a trigger interval for automatic snapshots, with optional FTP and/or SMTP upload.

Motion Detection

16 configurable alarm regions (0–15), each with adjustable sensitivity (up to 100, max sensitivity). Alarm actions include: pre/post-alarm video recording duration, SIP voice alarm call, upload to Alarm Center or Alarm HTTP Server, record-and-upload via FTP, and email/FTP JPEG snapshot upload. A schedule can define start/stop times per region for when motion detection is active.

Syslog Settings

Configure a syslog server IP/domain and log level (None, Debug, Info, Warning, Error) for troubleshooting.
