REGULATORY NOTICES (FCC CLASS A)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
RADIO AND TELEVISION INTERFERENCE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Changes and Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer or registrant of this equipment can void your authority to operate this equipment under Federal Communications Commission's rules.
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
NOTE: Improper use of audio/visual recording equipment may subject you to civil and criminal penalties. Applicable laws regarding the use of such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and may require, among other things, express written consent from the recorded subjects. You are solely responsible for insuring strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to any/all right of privacy and personality.
VIDEO QUALITY CAUTION
Frame Rate Notice Regarding User-Selected Options
Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second, which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event not being recorded by the system.
Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users' purposes is solely the users' responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

the camera field of view is set by adjusting zoom and focus via the Web UI. Refer to the operations manual.
CONNECTING THE CABLES
The I/O interfaces appear on the back of the camera module (Refer to Figure 1). Make the appropriate connections.
ETHERNET WIRING REQUIREMENT FOR POE
Connect a Cat5e cable or higher 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.

ACCESSING THE CAMERA
Anyone who access the camera can view live video. If you want to prevent users from viewing video without logging in, you must change the permissions for public users.
The recommended browsers for your camera are the latest version of Microsoft™ Edge™, Google Chrome™ browser, or Mozilla® Firefox®. for supported browser versions, refer to the specification sheet.
- Open a web browser.
- Type the camera's IP address (192.168.0.20) or host name in your browser's address bar, and the press Enter.
NOTE: You can obtain your camera's IP address or access the camera using the VxToolbox software. If DHCP is enabled but a DHCP server is not on the network, the camera automatically assigns itself both an IPv4 link local address (169.254.x.x, where the lower two octets are random) and a 192.168.0.20 address. Additional cameras will assign themselves different IPv4 link local addresses and the next available 192.168.0xIP addresses in sequential order. For example, if three cameras are connected to a network without a DHCP server, the first camera to connect assigns itself the IP address 192.168.0.20, the second camera assigns itself 192.168.0.21, and the third camera assigns itself 192.168.0.22.
- Click Login.
- If needed, type your user name and password.
NOTE: For security purposes, it is recommended that you create a user account when you login to the camera for the first time.
- In its out-of-the-box configuration, the camera has no user name and password assigned. For security purposes, it is recommended that you set an administrative user name and password after initial configuration of the camera. Creation of an administrative user name changes the state of the camera to its “operational mode,” where credentials must be provided in order to change its configuration.
- There is no provision for recovering a forgotten administrator user name or password. The camera can be restored to its out-of-the-box, no-password configuration by depressing the Defaults button with an object such as a paper clip, and holding the button down for at least four seconds.
- If a user name and password exist, a Login link appears in the upper right area of your web browser.
