Setting the dome camera site ID 

Before turning on the dome camera, you must set the dome 

camera site ID. Each dome camera connected to the same 

network must have a unique site ID. Use the 10-bit DIP switch 

to set the dome camera site’s ID setting.  

For more detailed information on setting the dome camera site 

DIP switches, please refer to the user manual. 

Figure 3:  Example of setting DIP switches for the dome 
camera site ID 210 (128 + 64 + 16 + 2) 

 

To set a dome camera site ID 

1.   Locate the dome camera site ID DIP switch block (E, 

Figure 1 on page 9). 

2.   Determine which DIP switches when turned on will add up 

to the site ID number for that dome camera. See Figure 3 
above for an example. 

3.   Place the switches that correspond to those values in the 

On position. 

4.   Carefully record the site ID of each dome camera 

installed.
