Frequently Asked Questions - Sarix Enhanced IME129-1IS Pelco

How do I set the IP address of the camera?

By default, the camera uses DHCP. If no DHCP server is found, it will use Auto IP (169.254.x.x) or fallback to 192.168.0.20. You can change IP settings via the web interface after logging in. For initial setup, use Pelco Device Utility to discover the camera.

Can I use PoE and DC power simultaneously?

No, do not connect both PoE and 12VDC/24VAC at the same time. Dual power can overheat the camera. Use one power source only.

How to reset the camera to factory defaults?

Press and hold the recessed reset button (use a paper clip) for 10 seconds. The camera will reboot and restore factory settings. A quick press (less than 2 seconds) reboots the camera without resetting.

What type of SD card is supported?

The camera supports MicroSD cards (with SD adapter) up to 128 GB. Pelco recommends SanDisk Extreme PLUS SDHC UHS-I cards for reliable recording.

Is the camera outdoor rated?

The IME129-1IS is an indoor model (white finish). For outdoor use, choose an environmental model (e.g., IME129-1ES with IP66 rating) and use appropriate mounting accessories.

How do I adjust the camera field of view?

Loosen the locking screw on the camera module base. Use the three-axis adjustment: Pan (rotate the lens base up to 355°), Tilt (up to 75°), and Rotate (up to 340°). Tighten the screw after adjustment.

Can I use this camera with third-party VMS?

Yes, the camera is ONVIF Profile S and G conformant, allowing integration with many third-party software. Pelco also provides an API/SDK for custom integration.

What is the purpose of the RS-485 port?

The RS-485 port (3-pin: D+, D-, GND) is used for PTZ control or connection to external devices like joysticks or controllers.

How to connect external audio?

Use the 9-pin alarm/relay/audio terminal. Connect audio input to pins 1 (L) and 3 (GND), audio output to pins 4 (L) and 3 (GND). Unbalanced audio is supported.

Where can I find the latest firmware?

Download firmware from the Pelco website: www.pelco.com/sarix. Check the IME Series support page for updates and release notes.

Positioning the Camera

• Pan Adjustment (A): Rotate the lens base until you are satisfied with the field of view. Note that the side conduit hole of the lower case is the point where the camera lens shouldn't be rotated over.
• Horizontal Rotation (B): Rotate 3D assembly in the lens base, but do not turn assembly more than 355^ as this may cause the internal cables to be twisted, disconnected, or broken.
• Tilt Adjustment (C): Lift to open the inner liner, and tilt the camera lens to your desired angle. Restore the inner liner back to its default position after adjustment.
  NOTE: Limitation for three axes position: Pan range: 355°, Rotate range: 340°, Tilt range: 75°

Cable Terminations

Ethernet Wiring Requirement for PoE

Connect a Cat5 cable or higher (Cat5e, Cat6) 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.

Table 1 Pin Definition

PoE Mode A		PoE Mode B
Pin	Function	Pin	Function
1	TX+, PoE 1-2	1	TX+
2	TX-, PoE 1-2	2	TX-
3	RX+, PoE 3-4	3	RX+
4	Not used	4	PoE 1-2
5	Not used	5	PoE 1-2
6	RX-, PoE 3-4	6	RX-
7	Not used	7	PoE 3-4
8	Not used	8	PoE 3-4

Alarm/Relay/Audio Port

The 9-pin Alarm/Relay/Audio port has the following pins and pin assignments

IP Address Settings

If the camera is connected to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) network and DHCP is set to On, the server automatically assigns an IP address to the camera. The default setting for the camera is DHCP On. To set the camera's IP address manually, set DHCP to Off.

NOTE:

When DHCP is on, but a DHCP server cannot be found:

• Next Gen Sarix Enhanced cameras will support two IP addressing schemes: 169.254.x.x and 192.168.0.x (starting from 192.168.0.20).
  The default IP address on subnet mask 255.255.0.0 is automatically assigned as 169.254.x.y where x and y will take a value from 0 to 255 randomly. Please note cameras on the same subnet will not be assigned the same IP address to avoid IP conflicts.
  The device defaults to an address of 192.168.0.20 on a 255.255.255.0 subnet. If 192.168.0.20 is already in use on the network, the Sarix device will increment the address by one until it finds an unused address (for example, 192.169.0.21 if 192.168.0.20 is in use).

Logging On to the Camera

After logging on to the camera, you can view video from the Web user interface.

1. Open the Web browser.
2. Type the camera's IP address in the browser address bar, and then press Enter.
   NOTE: If you do not know the camera's IP address, you can locate it using the Pelco Device Utility software.
3. To access the device in its initial out-of-the-box state, you will be able to set the initial administrator account password.

NOTE: The initial out-of-the-box state is also called "Factory Default Status."
