Hardware Manual 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. 2.
Hardware Manual 4. Tighten the screws of the 12V pin and the GND pins to secure the wire connection. 5. Set the prepared power adapter for connection later. Below is an example of a power adapter with an attached terminal block. NOTE: The power adapter is not bundled in the package. 6. After mapping the wires to the terminal block, connect the terminal block to the DC12V power connector of the camera and make sure to wrap the connection using a waterproof tape (can be purchased in hardware stores).
Hardware Manual How to Connect DI/DO Devices (Optional) Depending on your surveillance needs, you may connect one digital input and one digital output device to your camera. 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 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, use the GND and DI pins to connect a DI device and use the 12V and DO pins to connect a DO device.
Hardware Manual The illustration below is a graphic example of connecting a relay to a high voltage DO device. 110V-220V AC External Power Source Relay (DO1 Device) ) Camera Illuminator 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). 31 www.acti.

Hardware Manual 3. If the camera is installed outdoors, be sure to wrap the audio connectors with Waterproof Tape (can be purchased in hardware stores). DISCLAIMER: ACTi will not be responsible for camera damage due to water leakage caused by improper waterproofing of cables. 33 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 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.
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 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.
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.
