Hey there, it's Tyler from Nelly's Security, and in this video we're going
to install our three Uniview fixed lens cameras. We have our 2MP bullet
camera, our 4MP vandal dome, and our 4K turret.
If you want a closer look at these cameras, be sure to check out our previous video,
which I will link right up here. This is our unboxing and our initial review.
Now let's go ahead and jump into today's video.
Alright, we're here at our back parking lot at Nelly's Security, and I am ready
to install these cameras. Installation is super easy. The first thing I'm going to do
is take these mounting templates, and I'm going to place them on the ceiling where
I'm going to be installing each of these cameras. Next, I'll go ahead and drill my
holes into the ceiling. And now we're ready for installation.
Alright, first I'm going to install this bullet camera. And again, these are very easy
cameras to install. We can either run the cables up through the ceiling like this,
or we can run the cables out the side of the camera, like this. So for this
I'm going to go ahead and install it like this running out the side of the camera.
The first thing I'm going to do is loosen up this knob, which gives us access to
these three axes for angle adjustments on this camera. And that just makes it
a lot easier to install, because we can move it around and we can get our
screwdriver in there right where we need it. Now, once we have it screwed into the
ceiling, we can go ahead and adjust that angle however we need to, and then
tighten this knob back up. And now we're good to go.
Alright now, next up we have our vandal dome. And in order to install this, we just
need to take off this glass vandal-proof cover using the included hex wrench.
Now once this cover is removed, all we need is two screws to secure this camera
in place. We will go ahead and angle that lens and reattach this dome.
And finally, we have our turret camera here. In order to screw this into the ceiling, we
just need to remove this plastic cover. We will do so by turning this counter-
clockwise. And then it just slides right off the camera, like so.
Once we have this camera installed in the ceiling, we will loosen this tension screw
just a bit. That will give us the ability to angle this lens however we need to.
Once we have it angled, we will tighten that back up and replace the cover.
Now our cameras are installed, they're almost good to go. But there is one more
step that we have to do, at least for the bullet and the vandal dome. Since we ran
the cables out the sides of these cameras, the Cat5 Ethernet connections are exposed
to the elements. And even though these cameras are IP67 weatherproof,
we still need to make sure that we're weatherproofing these connections.
For that, these cameras do come with a weatherproofing grommet, so we're gonna
go ahead and install that right now.
Now we have our cameras installed and weatherproofed. Let's head back inside
and set these up on our network.
Now this can be done in three different ways, and we're going to show you all three of those
ways today. First, you can plug your camera into the PoE switch in the back of an NVR.
Second, you can plug your camera into a separate PoE switch. Or third, you can
plug your camera into a standard non-PoE switch or router.
First, let's talk about the recorder. Now, the fastest way to get up and running with
your new camera is to plug it into the PoE switch in the back of a Uniview NVR.
Once you connect your camera to the NVR via an Ethernet cable, you'll get instant plug-
and-play video to your monitor after the camera boots up. No configuration, no
logging in, just simple and instant plug- and-play video. However, you don't need
an NVR in order to get these cameras set up. You can set it up as a standalone camera
by plugging it into a switch or your router. First, let's talk about PoE switches.
Power over Ethernet is a very simple and fast way to get your cameras set up on
the network. With Power over Ethernet, your one Ethernet cable can carry both power and
data to and from your security camera. Once you connect your camera to a PoE
switch, simply hop onto the computer and launch the EZTools program to find your
camera's IP address. Type that IP address into your browser and log in with the default
username, which is "admin", and password, which is "123456". And then you'll have
access to your security cameras right from your PC. If you don't have an NVR or a PoE
switch, you can plug your camera directly into a standard non-PoE switch or Internet
router. However, if you decide to take this route, you will need to run a 12v DC power
cable to your security camera. And from there, we will log into this camera's interface
the same way that we did with the PoE switch. However, if you don't have a PoE switch, and
especially if this is your only camera, I highly recommend picking up one of these
simple PoE switches from our website. They're only about ten bucks and they are totally
worth it for only having to run one cable to your camera. Now that our cameras are
installed outside and set up on our network, I'll show you how you can access these
cameras from your mobile device using the Uniview application, EZView. Now, this
app is available for both Android and iPhone. If you want to check it out, I'll leave you some
links in the description below. Go ahead and navigate to your settings
menu inside your camera's interface. From here, navigate to the EZCloud page under
your "Network" settings. Be sure to toggle the EZCloud setting to "On". Once you do that,
take out your mobile phone, click "Add", "Scan", and scan the QR code. Simply add
a descriptive name for your camera. This can be anything you want it to be.
And then click, "Start Live View". As you can see, it's super easy to get these Uniview
fixed lens cameras installed, set up, and ready to go. If you're ready to check out
these cameras for yourself, head over to www.nellyssecurity.com. Under "Video
surveillance, click "Uniview." Now it's time to see some of the incredible
features that these cameras offer. In our next video, we're going to take you on a
tour of the interface and get to know these cameras inside and out. I look forward
to seeing you in the next video.
