Turing Video Smart TP-MFD4A4 4 Megapixel Network Camera - Color - Dome

The Turing Video Smart TP-MFD4A4 is a high-performance 4-megapixel network camera designed to deliver crisp color surveillance footage even in challenging environments. Its compact color dome housing combines advanced video compression with precise optics, making it ideal for storefronts, hallways, parking areas, and perimeter coverage. With a 4 mm fixed lens, true 4MP resolution at up to 30 frames per second, and strong infrared night vision, this dome camera provides reliable day-and-night monitoring while standing up to vandal resistance and harsh weather conditions thanks to its IK10-rated construction.

• Stellar 4MP color imagery delivers crisp 2688 x 1520 resolution for exceptional detail in both wide scenes and focused captures, helping security teams identify faces, license plates, and other critical details with ease.
• Efficient video compression supports Ultra 265, H.265, and multiple H.264 profiles (BP, MP, HP), along with MJPEG, enabling flexible streaming options that reduce bandwidth and storage without compromising image quality.
• Long-range infrared night vision provides up to 98.43 feet (30 meters) of clear illumination, enabling nighttime surveillance in low-light conditions while preserving vivid color during the day when lighting permits.
• Versatile mounting flexibility supports Pole, Junction Box, Wall, Tilted, and Pendant mounts, making installation in varied architectural and outdoor environments straightforward and unobtrusive.
• Rugged, vandal-resistant design with IK10-rated protection ensures durability against impacts and tampering, delivering reliable performance in busy public spaces and industrial settings.

how to install Turing Video Smart TP-MFD4A4 4 Megapixel Network Camera - Color - Dome

Preparing for installation starts with selecting a suitable mounting location that provides an unobstructed field of view while protecting the camera from direct weather exposure when possible. Begin by using the included mounting template and hardware to secure the dome housing to a stable surface such as a pole, wall, or a junction box, depending on your environment. Ensure a clean, organized cabling path and plan for cable management to minimize trip hazards and tampering risk. If you are integrating with an NVR or VMS, verify that the TP-MFD4A4 is compatible with your system and note the required protocol (such as RTSP or ONVIF) for smooth onboarding.

Next, connect the camera to your network infrastructure and power supply according to your facility’s standards. If PoE is available, you can simplify installation by delivering both power and data over a single Ethernet cable. Once connected, power up the device and access the camera’s web interface using the assigned IP address. From there, configure network settings (IP address, gateway, DNS) and enable essential security features like user authentication, encrypted streams, and a strong admin password.

Configure video settings to maximize performance: select the appropriate resolution (4MP), adjust the bitrate and frame rate to balance quality with bandwidth, and configure the compression profile (Ultra 265 or H.265) to match your storage strategy. Set up motion detection zones and schedules to optimize recording only when needed, and enable IR settings so night vision activates automatically in low-light conditions. For outdoor installations, verify the IK10 vandal resistance and ensure weatherproof sealing is correctly engaged for long-term durability.

Lens focus and calibration should be performed after the camera is mounted. Use the live view to adjust focus and verify the field of view covers critical access points. At night, test infrared illumination to ensure consistent coverage and minimal glare or hotspots. Finally, register the camera within your surveillance ecosystem, assign meaningful naming conventions, and create access controls so authorized personnel can view feeds securely from desktop or mobile devices.

Maintenance is simple with periodic checks: review firmware updates from Turing Video, monitor the device’s health indicators, and clean the dome glass to preserve clarity. If you notice performance degradation or unusual network activity, diagnose by testing bandwidth, rebooting the camera, and verifying that compression settings remain optimal for your storage capacity. The TP-MFD4A4 is designed to deliver reliable operation in both indoor and outdoor environments, combining versatility with a robust security posture.
