Thank you for purchasing i3 International’s Ax88 Fisheye IP dome camera. 

Ax88 is equipped with a fisheye 1.97mm @ F2.3 lens and supports h.265 codec 

compression.

Note: 

Ax88 supports h.265 codec, but is shipped pre-set to h.264 to facilitate back-

wards compatibility to the earlier versions of SRX-Pro (below v7). To change the codec 

to h.265 in the camera’s web settings > Setup > Video > Video Configuration > Video 

Stream.

SAFETY

When installing your Ax88 camera be sure to avoid:

•  excessive heat, such as direct sunlight or heating appliances

•  contaminants such as dust and smoke

•  strong magnetic fields

•  moisture and humidity

•  areas with mechanical vibrations

•  fluorescent lamps or objects that reflect light and unstable light sources

•  temperatures below -40° C (-40° F) and above 50° C (122° F

).

To avoid electrical shock and to preserve the product warranty, 

DO NOT

 

disassemble the camera. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

POWER SUPPLY

This camera accepts PoE power.

Ensure the supplied voltage meets the power consumption requirements of this 

camera (15W) before powering the camera on. Incorrect voltage may cause irreparable 

damage to the video camera and will effectively void the camera warranty. 

CLEANING

•  For maximum optical clarity, the camera dome or lens must remain clean. 

Use a soft, dry cloth to remove finger prints or dust from the dome cover.

•  Use a blower to remove dust from the lens.

•  Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinners, as they 

may damage the surface finishes.

SURFACE INSTALLATION

 

Start by preparing the mounting surface. Based on installation location and surface 

type, supplied screws and anchors may not be adequate.

 

For pendant or horizontal wall-mounting, purchase the back box (i3 part number: 

B88) and use a 3/4” NPT pipe or DB60, respectively. Surface installation can be 

completed without a back box.

 

Note: 

After installing the camera, your network camera must be accessible from 

your local network (LAN).

To complete a surface mount installation:

1. 

Attach the supplied mounting template to the mounting surface.

2. 

Drill 3 holes, as marked on the template, insert 3 supplied anchors into the 

holes.

3. 

Drill the conduit hole for the camera cable, if routing the cable upwards. If 

routing the cable sideways, through the cable 

exit opening, do not drill the conduit hole.

4. 

Remove the dome cover. Use the torx bit 

provided to loosen three screws, lift upwards 

and set the dome cover aside.

5. 

Open the dessicant package (provided) and 

replace the dessicant already installed on the 

camera (Fig. 4)

6. 

Feed the camera cable through the cut conduit 

hole or through the side cable opening.
