Before Installation

Unpacking the Camera

NOTE: To avoid scratches or leaving fingerprints on the dome cover, it is recommended to retain the plastic covering the dome cover until the camera is completely installed. However, the plastic has been removed on the pictures in this documentation to show clarity of the procedures being described.

1. Rotate the dome cover counter-clockwise to remove it.

1. Remove the Styrofoam.

Preparing the Power Adapter

In case of using a non-PoE switch or your PoE switch has limited power supply, you can use the bundled power adapter and directly connect the camera to a power outlet. The power adapter must be connected to the supplied terminal block before use.

To do this, follow the procedures below:

1. Loosen the screws of the 12V and GND pins of the power terminal block.

Preparing the DI/DO Connector

Depending on your surveillance needs, you may connect digital input or output devices to your camera to trigger events or notifications.

Digital Input (DI) devices can be used to notify the camera about an activity in the camera site. DI can be triggers of events. For example, you can connect a “panic button” to the camera; as such when the panic button is pressed, the alarm signal will be sent through the camera. Other common DI device applications are emergency button, smoke detector, passive infrared sensor, etc.

Digital Output (DO) devices are external devices that are activated by the camera upon an event inside the camera. For example, you can connect an “alarm horn” to the camera; as such when an event occurs inside the camera (e.g. detected intruder), the alarm horn will sound. Other common DO device applications are motion-triggered lights, electric fence, magnetic door locks, etc.

You can connect up to two DI and two DO devices to your camera.

GND A11 110 100 GND A21 200D

To connect input devices (DI), map the pins to one of the pin combinations below:

Device		Mapping Instructions
Digital Input 1 (DI1)	GND	Connect the wires of the first input device to GND and DI1.
	DI1
Digital Input 2 (DI2)	GND	Connect the wires of the second input device to GND and DI2.
	DI2

To connect output devices (DO), map the pins to one of the pin combinations below:

Device	Pin	Mapping Instructions
Digital Output 1 (DO1)	12V	Connect the wires of the first output device to 12V and DO1.
	DO1
Digital Output 2 (DO2)	12V	Connect the wires of the second output device to 12V and DO2.
	DO2

The table below shows the DI/DO connection specifications:

Device
DI	Connection design		TTL - compatible logic levels
	Voltage	To trigger (low)	Logic level 0: 0V ~ 0.4V
		Normal (high)	Logic level 1: 3.1V ~ 30V
	Current		10mA ~ 100mA
DO	Connection design		Transistor (Open Collector)
	Voltage & Current		< 24V DC, < 50mA

Typical Connection

Based on these specifications, if the DI device has a voltage of 0V \~ 30V or the DO device has a voltage of < 24V (< 50mA), then the camera can supply internal power to these devices and there is no need to connect the DI/DO device to an external power source.

In this case, use the GND and DI1 pins to connect a DI device and use the 12V and DO1 pins to connect a DO device. See wiring scheme below:

CAM GND DI1 NORMAL: 3.1V +12V DO1 DAY2 SW_TC_SPST ON LED ON/DC BATTERY

Consequently, to connect a second DI or DO device, use the GND and DI2 pins to connect a second DI device, and the 12V and DO2 to connect a second DO device.

High Voltage DO Device Connection

Even though the camera provides 12V power, this may not be enough for some high voltage DO devices, such as a ceiling light or a motor that opens or closes a gate. In this case, there is a need to connect an external relay. See wiring scheme below:

graph TD
    A["AC110V"] --> B["MOTOR"]
    B --> C["+12V"]
    C --> D["DI1"]
    D --> E["GND"]
    E --> F["NORMAL: HIGH TRIGGER : LOW"]
    G["NORMAL: 3.1V"] --> H["+12V"]
    H --> I["DI1"]
    I --> J["NORMAL: HIGH TRIGGER : LOW"]
    K["DATA: 40kΩ/div"] --> L["Ground"]

Note that when choosing an appropriate relay, please refer to its specifications and make sure they match the above design. The triggering circuit voltage has to be around 12V DC and the switch-controlled circuit voltage has to match the external power supply (e.g. 110V AC or 220V AC).

The illustration below is a graphic example of connecting a relay to a high voltage DO device.

How to Reset the Camera

A reset may be necessary if the following instances happen:

• The administrator's password has been forgotten and therefore the camera cannot be accessed.
• In case of IP address, mask, or allow/deny filter related issues, resulting with inability to modify these settings.
• In case of connectivity issues or abnormal video quality.

With the camera powered on, use a pointed object, such as a pen, to press and hold the reset button for at least 5 seconds or until the Power LED goes off.

Accessing Camera

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.

Using DHCP server to assign IP addresses

If you have connected the computer and the camera into the network that has a DHCP server running, then you do not need to configure the IP addresses at all – both the camera and the PC would request a unique IP address from the DHCP server automatically. In such case, the camera will immediately be ready for the access from the PC. The user, however, might not know the IP address of the camera yet. It is necessary to know the IP address of the camera in order to access it using a Web browser.

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, the camera that has just been connected to the network is successfully found.

When the left mouse is clicked on the camera model name, the default browser of the PC is automatically launched and the IP address of the target camera is already filled in the address bar of the browser.

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.

Download IP Utility for free from http://www.acti.com/product/IP%20Utility%204.

When you launch IP Utility, the list of connected cameras in the network will be shown. See sample illustration below:

You can quickly notice the camera model in the list. Click on the IP address to automatically launch the default browser of the PC with the IP address of the target camera already filled in the address bar of the browser.

Use the default IP address of the camera

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

When the camera is plugged into the 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 All Control Panel Items ▶ Network and Sharing Center ▶ 4p Select Control Panel Control Panel Home Change adapter settings Change advanced sharing settings View your basic network information and set up connections SBB_NP_PC1 (This computer) Network Internet Set full map View your active networks Connect or disconnect Network Work network Access Type Connections: Internet Local Area Connection Change your networking settings Set up a new connection or network Set up a wireless, broadband, dial-up, address, or VPN connections; or set up a router or access point.

OK Cancel

Manually adjust the IP addresses of multiple cameras

If there are more than one 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:

With the procedure shown above, all the cameras will have unique IP addresses, starting from 192.168.0.101. In case there are 20 cameras selected, the last one of the cameras would have the IP 192.168.0.120.

Later, by pressing the "Refresh" button of the IP Utility, you will be able to see the list of cameras with their new IP addresses.

Please note that it is also possible to change the IP addresses manually by using the Web browser. In such case, please plug in only one camera at a time, and change its IP address by using the Web browser before plugging in the next one. This way, the Web browser will not be confused about two devices having the same IP address at the same time.

Access the Camera

Now that the camera and the PC both have their unique IP addresses and are under the same network segment, you can use Microsoft Internet Explorer on the PC to access the camera.

You can use Microsoft Internet Explorer to access the camera.

When using Internet Explorer browser, the ActiveX control for video stream management will be downloaded from the camera directly – the user just has to accept the use of such control when prompted so. No other third party utilities are required to be installed in such case.

The examples in this manual are based on Internet Explorer browser in order to cover all functions of the camera.

Assuming that the camera's IP address is 192.168.0.100, you can access it by opening the Web browser and typing the following address into Web browser's address bar:

http://192.168.0.100

Upon successful connection to the camera, the user interface called Web Configurator would appear together with the login page. The HTTP port number was not added behind the IP address since the default HTTP port of the camera is 80, which can be omitted from the address for convenience.

http://192.168.0.100 Web Configurator Web Configurator Login Account Password Language English Login Reset

Before logging in, you need to know the factory default Account and Password of the camera.
