Hardware Manual Step 3: Install the Camera Before installing the camera, determine the most suitable method to waterproof the cable connection (see Step 4: Waterproof and Connect the Cable on page 14). Some methods may require the cable to be waterproof first before installing the camera to its bracket. 1. Depending on how you want to install the camera, attach the camera to the bracket through one of the two (2) holes below: 2.
Hardware Manual Step 4: Waterproof and Connect the Cable If the camera will be installed indoors, simply connect the network side cable to the camera Ethernet port. No need to waterproof the cable connection. However, if the camera will be installed outdoors, check the type of Ethernet port and follow the applicable procedures to waterproof the cable connection.
Hardware Manual Using the Waterproof Tape Connect an Ethernet cable from the network side to the Ethernet port of the camera to complete the installation. Camera Side Network Side NOTES on using Ethernet cables: For outdoor installations, it is recommended to use exterior-grade Ethernet cables (CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6); ordinary Ethernet cables are only designed for indoor use and may deteriorate quickly when exposed to outdoor elements.
Hardware Manual Using the Bundled Conduit Gland The camera and the pre-installed network cable are resistant to salt water, weak acid, alcohol, oil, grease and other common solvents. However, in areas with fierce weather conditions and those that can easily be flooded, ensure that the exposed length of cable is also protected. It is recommended to use a flexible conduit with 1/2” diameter and the conduit gland (included in the package) to protect the camera cabling.

Hardware Manual 5. Tighten the sealing nut. Make sure the rubber is tightly squeezed to avoid possible water leak. Rubber must be squeezed tightly NOTES on using Ethernet cables: When replacing the pre-installed network cable, it is recommended to use exterior-grade Ethernet cables (CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6); ordinary Ethernet cables are only designed for indoor use and may deteriorate quickly when exposed to outdoor elements. Exterior-grade Ethernet cables are waterproof and do not require a conduit. 24 www.
Hardware Manual Step 5: Connect the Cable Connect the other end of the network cable to a switch or injector. Then, connect the switch or injector to a network, PC, and a power source. See Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connection example below. Network Ethernet Cable Ethernet Cable (Data) PoE Injector Power Cable Ethernet Cable (Data + Power) AC Power Source Camera Step 6: Access the Camera Live View See Accessing the Camera on page 30 for more information on how to access the Live View of the camera.

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 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.
Hardware Manual 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.
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 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.
