VIDEO QUALITY CAUTION

Frame Rate Notice Regarding User-Selected Options

Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second, which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event not being recorded by the system.

Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users' purposes is solely the users' responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

ETHERNET WIRING REQUIREMENT FOR POE

Connect a Cat5 cable or higher (Cat5a, Cat 6) cable (not supplied) to the RJ-45 network connector. The 8-pin port includes video over Ethernet, and PoE for the camera. PoE injects power over the same cabling that carries the network data, eliminating the need for a separate power supply. This simplifies the installation and operation of the camera without affecting network performance.

Anyone who access the camera can view live video. If you want to prevent users from viewing video without logging in, you must change the permissions for public users.

The recommended browsers for your camera are the latest version of Internet Explorer®, Microsoft™ Edge™, Google Chrome™ browser, or Mozilla® Firefox®. for supported browser versions, refer to the specification sheet.

1. Open a web browser.
2. Type the camera's IP address (192.168.0.20) or host name in your browser's address bar, and the press Enter.

NOTE: You can obtain your camera's IP address or access the camera using the Pelco Device Utility or VxToolbox software. If DHCP is enabled but a DHCP server is not on the network, the camera automatically assigns itself both an IPv4 link local address (169.254.x.x, where the lower two octets are random) and a 192.168.0.20 address. Additional cameras will assign themselves different IPv4 link local addresses and the next available 192.168.0xIP addresses in sequential order. For example, if three cameras are connected to a network without a DHCP server, the first camera to connect assigns itself the IP address 192.168.0.20, the second camera assigns itself 192.168.0.21, and the third camera assigns itself 192.168.0.22.

1. Click Login.

2. If needed, type your user name and password.

NOTE: For security purposes, it is recommended that you create a user account when you login to the camera for the first time.

• In its out-of-the-box configuration, the camera has no user name and password assigned. For security purposes, it is recommended that you set an administrative user name and password after initial configuration of the camera. Creation of an administrative user name changes the state of the camera to its "operational mode," where credentials must be provided in order to change its configuration.
• There is no provision for recovering a forgotten administrator user name or password. The camera can be restored to its out-of-the-box, no-password configuration by powering down, depressing the reset button with an object such as a paper clip, and holding the button down for at least five seconds while power the camera back up.

NOTE: The Reset button for the camera is located near the microSD card slot.

- If a user name and password exist, a Login link appears in the upper right area of your web browser.
