Step 6: Access the Camera Live View

See Accessing the Camera on page 31 for more information on how to access the Live View of the camera.

Cable Connections

This section describes the procedures in preparing the external devices that you can connect to the camera. The camera main unit supports DC12V power input, Digital Input and Output (DI/DO), Audio Output, and Serial devices using the bundled terminal blocks. The use of these devices, however, is optional.

Connecting a Power Adapter (Optional)

The camera can be powered by a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch that is IEEE802.3af compliant. In case of using a non-PoE switch or your PoE switch has limited power supply, you can purchase a 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.

NOTE: The power adapter is not bundled in the package.

Connecting DI/DO Devices (Optional)

Depending on your surveillance needs, you may connect one (1) digital input and one (1) digital output device to the main unit 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.

1. Loosen the screws on the terminal block.
2. Connect the input/output pins to the corresponding pins on the terminal block, see mapping table below.
3. Tighten the screws on the terminal block when done.

To connect an input device (DI), map the pins as below:

Device	Pin	Mapping Instructions
Digital Input (DI)	GND	Connect the wires of the digital input device to GND and DI.
	DI

To connect an output device (DO), map the pins as below:

Device	Pin	Mapping Instructions
Digital Output (DO)	12V	Connect the wires of the digital output device to 12V and DO.
	DO

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, wire connection to GND and DI pins to connect a DI device and use the 12V and DO pins to connect a DO device. See wiring scheme below:

CAM GND DI1 NORMAL: 3.1V +12V DO1 SW12 SW_TC_SPST DI1 SWID SW_TC_SPST NORMAL : HIGH TRIGGER : LOW SW12 SW_TC_SPST DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1 DI1

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["32V"] --> B["R11"]
    B --> C["DI3"]
    C --> D["DIODE"]
    D --> E["NORMAL: 3.1V"]
    E --> F["GND"]
    F --> G["DI1"]
    G --> H["SWI4 SN_TO_SPOT"]
    H --> I["+12V"]
    I --> J["DO1"]
    J --> K["LS1 RELAY SPOT"]
    K --> L["MOTOR"]
    L --> M["AC110V"]
    N["NORMAL : HIGH TRIGGER : LOW"] --> O["+12V"]
    O --> P["DO1"]

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.

NOTE: For more information on DI/DO connections, please refer to the Knowledge Base article All About Digital Input and Digital Output downloadable from the link below (http://Download.acti.com?id=516).

Connecting an Audio Out Device (Optional)

Depending on your surveillance needs, you may connect an audio output device, such as a speaker, to the main unit. In this case, you need to connect the audio output device to the audio terminal block connector.

NOTE: The audio input pins are already connected to the built-in microphone. Do not modify this connection.

GND AUDIO.OUT GND AUDIO.IN

To connect an audio output device, map the pins to one of the pin combinations below:

Device	Pin	Mapping Instructions
Audio Output	GND	Connect the wires of the audio output device to GND and AUDIO.OUT.
	AUDIO.OUT

Press and hold the orange tab as you insert the wire through the pin slot, then release the orange tab to secure the wire.

Connecting a Serial Devices (Optional)

Depending on your needs, you may connect a serial device to the main unit. In this case, you need to connect the serial device to the supplied RS-232 terminal block.

GND RX TX

To connect a serial device, map the pins as below:

Terminal Block	Wire Mapping
Pin Number / Label	Main Unit	Serial Device
TX	TX	RX
RX	RX	TX
GND	Ground pin

Press and hold the orange tab as you insert the wire through the pin slot, then release the orange tab to secure the wire.

Once inserted, make sure to access the camera Web Configurator and "mount" the card to prepare the card for local recording. Refer to the camera Firmware User's Manual for more information.

How to Remove the Memory Card

In case there is a need to remove the card, make sure to access the camera Web Configurator to safely “unmount” the card first (see the camera Firmware User’s Manual for more information). Once unmounted from the firmware, push the card to eject it from the slot.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Refresh

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.

The browser functionality comparison:

Functionality	Internet Explorer	Other browsers
Live Video	Yes	Yes*
Live Video Area Resizable	Yes	No
PTZ Control	Yes	Yes
Capture the snapshot	Yes	Yes
Video overlay based configuration (Motion Detection regions, Privacy Mask regions)	Yes	No
All the other configurations	Yes	Yes

* When using non-Internet Explorer browsers, free third-party software plug-ins must be installed to the PC first to be able to get the live video feed from the camera:

Browser	Required Plug-In
Safari	QuickTime (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/)
Other non-Internet Explorer browsers	Basic VLC Media Player (http://www.videolan.org)

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.

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.
