The QCN8014Z is a pan-tilt-camera with 12x
optical and 16x digital zoom. The camera
also has a slot for a 64GB Micro SD Card to
serve as internal memory allowing it to record
video and still images without the need for
an NVR.
It also supports external alarm and audio
inputs. It is able to accept input from other
devices and utilize them to trigger recording
or alert actions when it is being used in a
stand-alone role. It is able to support up to
two external alarm inputs as well as a single
output. The audio input and output allows
the user to connect both a microphone and
speaker to the camera. When used along
with similar equipment on the users end -
including through a mobile device - two-way
communication can take place.
Due to customer feedback, the wire leads
are unfinished leaving it to the user to attach
connectors as needed. If the additional
functionality is not needed, the entire cable
is easier to pass through the mount. It is
recommended that unused wire leads be
wrapped in electrical tape. The wire leads are
identified below.

The camera’s cable also includes the POE socket and an additional power socket for use with
the included 24V power supply if the camera is not directly connected to the NVR via a POE
port. Most Q-See NVRs such as the QC828, QC838 and QC8116 can power the camera
through their built-in POE ports.

MOUNTING YOUR CAMERA
Your camera is designed to mount to a
wall using the included bracket. Before
mounting, you will need to open the camera
by loosening the three housing bolts
using included torx (star) wrench. It is not
recommended to remove them from the
camera cover.
Remove and discard the foam shipping collar (See Picture 1-20) from around the camera
head. This protective packaging will interfere with camera movement. If you intend to use a
Micro SD card in your camera, you can insert it at this time. You can close the camera after
you are finished.
We have also included fabric gloves with your camera to help you prevent getting fingerprints
or scratches inside or outside of the clear glass dome or camera lens. Handle the camera with
care at all times - especially when the cover has been removed. Do not attempt to move the
camera lens by hand to avoid damaging the mechanism.
Once you’ve determined the proper position and location for the camera, use the included
mounting template to drill the holes for the plastic anchors and cable (if needed).
Instructions for mounting your camera are on the following page.
