NOTE: Some models have styrofoam inside the dome cover which is used to protect the lens during shipping. Remember to remove the styrofoam before mounting the camera.

There are two ways to mount the camera:

• Surface mount: Use this method to mount the camera directly on the ceiling. See Installing the Camera on a Surface on page 13.
• Gang Box Mount: If the camera will be mounted on a gang box (applicable in some areas in the US), a gang box converter (not included in the camera package) is needed. See Installing the Camera on a Gang Box on page 16.

Installing the Camera on a Surface

1. Mark the location of the screw holes base on the drill template included in the package.

Conduit Hole Conduit Hole 1-Ø 1.50 Mounting Hole

NOTE: Depending on the surface where you will install the camera, it may be necessary to drill three (3) holes with 3.5 on the ceiling and use the supplied screw tox.

1. Route the cables through the ceiling, taking the Conduit Hole on the drilling template as a reference. Or, slide off the cable exit tab on the dome cover to route the cable through that hole later.

Accessing the 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 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 other to be able to access it by 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, we successfully found the camera that we had just connected to the network.

Recent Places Libraries Documents Music Pictures Videos Computer Network ADRIAN-GARCIA ARTIPO-DAX 77 items D01--A-XX-13C-00006 D72--A-XX-13A-00162 D01--A-XX-13E-00048 D92--A-XX-13E-00047 E13--A-XX-12K-00041 E22--A0XX-13B-00009 E24--A-XX-13B-00006 E41--A-XX-13A-01224 E42--A-XX-12L-00286 E51--A-XX-12J-00073 E53--A-XX-13A-00089 ENR1200-ENR ENR2000-ENR

By double-clicking with the left mouse on the camera model, it is possible to automatically launch the default browser of the PC with the IP address of the target camera filled in the address bar of the browser already.

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:

You can quickly see 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 filled in the address bar of the browser already.

Using the Default Camera IP Address

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:

Alternate DNS server: . Validate settings upon exit Advanced... OK Cancel

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:

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 are both having their unique IP addresses and are under the same network segment, it is possible to use the Web browser of the PC to access the camera.

You can use any of the browsers to access the camera, however, the full functionality is provided only for Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Disclaimer Notice: The camera manufacturer does not guarantee the compatibility of its cameras with VLC player or QuickTime – since these are third party softwares. The third party has the right to modify their utility any time which might affect the compatibility. In such cases, please use Internet Explorer browser instead.

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 following 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.
