Viewing on a PC
This IP camera is intended for viewing through an App, it is
possible for you to view the camera on a desktop PC or Laptop
using alternative software programmes readily available in the
market place.
We recommend a free software programme called CMS and
have made a download link available for it on the Gardenature
website. Click on our Advice tab and you will see the Product
Guides heading on the left of the page, click on item 8: IP
Camera - CMS Software and follow the directions.
STEP 4: Camera and positioning
Once you have decided where to site the camera fix the
separate U shape Camera Bracket with the two screws
provided, then slide the camera fixing down into it being careful
not to force the prongs forward otherwise the camera will not
be held tightly. Position the camera angle by swivelling the
camera on its own bracket then gently tighten x2 screws on the
sides of the camera, do not over tighten.
The camera has been pre-focused, but you can adjust this to
suit your project by loosening the tiny grub screw on the lens
barrel and gently turning the lens left or right a few mm. Note
that birds will build their nest towards the back of a nest box
and 3 - 4cm above the floor area.
STEP 5: Weatherproof Connectors.
When you are sure of the camera positioning you can fit the
weatherproof connector.
The long Cat5e Ethernet cable has two slightly different ends;
the one that is not booted will connect to the camera port as
illustrated below:
1. Place the rubber O-ring onto the port screw socket
connected to the camera.
2. Pass the threaded collar cup over the RJ45 plug and
down the cable.
3. Take the thick rubber bush which has a split in it to
hotdog round the cable.
4. Pass the centre housing over the RJ45 plug and push
the rubber bush up flush into the pronged collar.
5. Observing the one-way clip position, plug the cable
into the camera screw port then push the centre
housing and rubber bush up to the thread and turn to
tighten.
6. Connect the threaded collar cup up to the base of the
connector and turn to tighten.
The POE injector sends the required 12v DC to the camera
down the cable, in which case the 12v DC input at the camera
end is not required for this application.
We recommend the weatherproof connection and the 12v DC
input are tucked away inside the nest box or sheltered from the
weather where ever possible.
Never allow cables to dangle freely inside a nesting chamber
or habitat. Gardenature nest boxes and habitats are available
to purchase and are fitted with camera clips and cable trays.
STEP 6: Getting the cable into your house
Do NOT shut the cable in a window or door aperture, this will
cause internal damage to the cable and possibly camera
failure.
To get the cable into the house drill a 15mm hole through your
wall, window frame or airbrick. Feed the cable into the house
being careful not to pull the RJ45 plug off. Ideally you can use
a thin piece of metal rod such as a wire coat hanger to tape the
cable to and pull through.
Further guidance, please visit the Gardenature website and go
to the ‘Advice’tab, see ‘Product Guide 1’ where you will find
a short video: Getting the cable through a wall.
