Pendant Mount Solutions

In case of high ceilings, the camera can be lowered by pendant mount. Two solutions are available:

Mounting Solution	Cabling Solution	Must Drill a Hole on the Ceiling
Straight Tube(SMAX-0051)	Cable passes through a hole in the ceiling	Yes
	PMAX-0102	PMAX-0101[CW64]
Straight Tube with Bracket(SMAX-0053)	Cable bends out from the mount and goes along the ceiling	No
	PMAX-0103	PMAX-0101[CT48]

Straight Tube Installation Procedures

Perform the following procedures if the cables can directly pass through the ceiling.

Step 1: Drill the Holes

Using the drill template (included in the straight tube package), mark and drill the screw holes and the conduit hole (where cables will pass) on the ceiling.

Step 2: Prepare for Waterproof Installation

The camera comes with two (2) glands used for waterproof installation:

• Cable Gland: For use with an Exterior-grade Ethernet cable. Exterior-grade Ethernet cables are already waterproof. See Waterproof Solution with Naked Cable on page 7.
• Conduit Gland: For use with a flexible conduit. This solution is recommended when an exterior-grade Ethernet cable is not available or when other input/output devices or external power adapter will be connected to the camera (select models only). See Waterproof Solution with Conduit on page 8.

Determine the type of waterproof solution that is applicable to your installation requirements and prepare the necessary accessories or purchase extra materials.

Connect the Equipment

To be able to connect to the camera firmware from your PC, both the camera and the PC have to be connected to each other via Ethernet cable. At the same time, the camera has to have its own power supply. In case of PoE cameras, you can use a PoE Injector or a PoE Switch between the camera and the PC. The cameras that have the DC power connectors may be powered on by using a power adaptor.

The Ethernet port LED or Power LED of the camera will indicate that the power supply for the camera works normally.

Configure the IP Addresses

In order to be able to communicate with the camera from your PC, both the camera and the PC have to be within the same network segment. In most cases, it means that they both should have very similar IP addresses, where only the last number of the IP address is different from each other. There are 2 different approaches to IP Address management in Local Area Networks – by DHCP Server or Manually.

Installation Guide

The quickest way to discover the cameras in the network is to use the simplest network search, built in the Windows system – just by pressing the "Network" icon, all the cameras of the local area network will be discovered by Windows thanks to the UPnP function support of our cameras.

In the example below, we successfully found the camera model that we had just connected to the network.

Installation Guide

If you work with our cameras regularly, then there is even a better way to discover the cameras in the network – by using IP Utility. The IP Utility is a light software tool that can not only discover the cameras, but also list lots of valuable information, such as IP and MAC addresses, serial numbers, firmware versions, etc, and allows quick configuration of multiple devices at the same time.

The IP Utility can be downloaded for free from http://www.acti.com/IP_Utility

With just one click, you can launch the IP Utility and there will be an instant report as follows:

Installation Guide

Use the default IP address of a camera:

If there is no DHCP server in the given network, the user may have to assign the IP addresses to both PC and camera manually to make sure they are in the same network segment.

When the camera is plugged into network and it does not detect any DHCP services, it will automatically assign itself a default IP:

192.168.0.100

Whereas the default port number would be 80. In order to access that camera, the IP address of the PC has to be configured to match the network segment of the camera.

Manually adjust the IP address of the PC:

In the following example, based on Windows 7, we will configure the IP address to 192.168.0.99 and set Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0 by using the steps below:

1 Control Panel Settings Change in network settings Change in network settings View your basic network information and set up connections. 05.0.29.23 The computer Network Internet View your active network Network Network Accessories Internal Connections Local Area Connections Change in networking settings Set up steps connection network

2 Network and Internet Organize Disable the network device Local Area Connection Delete Status Degree Bridge Connections Create Shortout Delete

Installation Guide

Manually adjust the IP addresses of multiple cameras:

If there are more than 1 camera to be used in the same local area network and there is no DHCP server to assign unique IP addresses to each of them, all of the cameras would then have the initial IP address of 192.168.0.100, which is not a proper situation for network devices – all the IP addresses have to be different from each other. The easiest way to assign cameras the IP addresses is by using IP Utility:
