SSEMBLY
The camera system is shipped completely
assembled and ready for operation.
Attach the PoE cable to the camera using
the underwater connector. Lightly tighten
the stress relief sleeve. Additional plastic
cable ties can also be used.
Attach the other end of the PoE cable to
the power injector. An optional waterproof
power/wireless box may have already been
wired to the PoE cable.
Attach the Ethernet cable to the network
consisting of a router, wireless network
adapter, computer or direct Internet
modem.
Connecting to a computer may require a
crossover cable (not supplied).
Once both network connectors are
attached, plug the power into a 110/240
VAC source. Once power is supplied to the
camera, it will “boot” and move to the
“home” position.
The system provides for the removal of
moisture from inside the housing with the
use of silica bags. The housing exerts
approximately 10-16 pounds of positive
buoyancy. Weights can be attached to
either side of the housing.
Once all the network cables have been
attached, you can apply power to the
system.
The camera will initially blink both the
power and network lights. The power light
will stay on and the network light will blink
for two minutes at which time the turret will
realign to the home position.

YSTEM
The OceanCam employs a PTZ (pan-tilt-
zoom) camera that has been designed for
24x7 operations.
The camera has a rotation range of 340-
degress or 360-degrees endless rotation
(depending on model) and can tilt 210-
degrees with an auto-flip feature that keeps
the image properly oriented.
Both optical and digital zoom is available
although, digital zoom is generally disabled
to obtain the sharpest underwater images.
