Hardware Manual Physical Description Item 1 Reset Button Description Used to restore the factory default settings, including the administrator’s password. Using a pointed object, such as a pen, press and hold the Reset button for 5 seconds or until the Power LED lights up. 2 Digital Input / Output Connects to digital input or output devices, such as an alarm trigger, panic button, etc.
Hardware Manual Before Installation The camera comes with terminal blocks used when an external power adaptor and a digital input/output device are needed to be connected to the camera. The following procedures describe how to connect optional devices to the camera. Prepare the Power Adaptor (Optional) In case of using a non-PoE switch or your PoE switch has limited power supply, you can purchase a power adaptor and directly connect the camera to a power outlet.
Hardware Manual 3. Connect the wire with the white stripe to the 12V pin and the other to the GND pin. 4. Tighten the screws of the 12V pin and the GND pins to secure the wire connection. 5. Set the prepared power adaptor for connection later. Below is an example of a power adaptor with an attached terminal block. NOTE: The power adaptor is not bundled in the package. 11 www.acti.
Hardware Manual Prepare the DI/DO Connector (Optional) 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.
Hardware Manual The table below shows the DI/DO connection specifications: Device Connection design DI TTL - compatible logic levels To trigger (low) Logic level 0: 0V ~ 0.4V Normal (high) Logic level 1: 3.
Hardware Manual 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.
Hardware Manual Installation Procedures There are several mounting options that you can use to install the camera. Select the most suitable solution for your installation environment. Mounting Solutions Mount Types Accessories Surface Mount Directly installs the camera on the surface; no additional mounting accessories required. See Mounting on the Ceiling or Wall on page 17.
Hardware Manual Mount Types Accessories Vertical Pole Suitable when mounting the camera on a vertical pole. Mount Horizontal Pole PMAX-0310 PMAX-0503 PMAX-0101 PMAX-0305 PMAX-0503 Suitable when mounting the camera on a horizontal pole. Mount PMAX-0101 Corner Mount PMAX-0102 PMAX-0503 Suitable when mounting the camera on a corner area. The camera can also be tilted 10 to capture a larger viewing angle below the camera and less above.
Hardware Manual Mounting on the Ceiling or Wall Step 1: Drill the Holes IMPORTANT! Before drilling the holes on the ceiling or wall, note the direction of the connectors side of the camera, which is also the opposite side of the camera logo. This influences the camera placement and where you should drill the hole where the cables will pass through or how the cables will go along the ceiling or wall. When installing the camera on the wall, the connectors side must either be facing up or down. 1.
Hardware Manual Step 2: Prepare the Camera IMPORTANT: When the camera is taken out from the box, the lens is covered by a thin film. DO NOT remove this film. It is used to protect the lens from scratches or fingerprint marks which may happen during installation. Remove this film only after the camera is securely installed and all connections are complete. DO NOT Remove Film ! 1. Slightly twist the cover ring counter-clockwise and pull to detach it. 2.
Hardware Manual Step 3: Install the Camera Install the camera using the three (3) supplied screws. Step 4: Connect the Cable(s) 1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the camera. If necessary, connect other cable connectors (optional), like audio input/output, DC 12V power, and DI/DO. Ethernet DI / DO Connector Audio In Audio Out DC 12V Power NOTE: The cables are not included in the camera package. 19 www.acti.
Hardware Manual 2. On the network side, connect the other end of the Ethernet port to the network switch. As needed, connect the other cables to the corresponding devices as well.

Hardware Manual Step 5: Complete the Installation 1. Attach the cover ring, take note that the arrow on the camera should be aligned with the arrow on the cover ring. NOTE: If the cable(s) will be routed along the ceiling or wall, route the cable(s) through the cable gap of the cover ring. 2. Twist the ring counter-clockwise to secure the ring to the camera. 21 www.acti.

Hardware Manual 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.
Hardware Manual Double-click the mouse 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.
Hardware Manual 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.
Hardware Manual 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.
Hardware Manual 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.
Hardware Manual 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.
