Hardware Manual Installation Procedures Mount the Camera Before mounting the camera, remove the dome cover by loosening the three (3) screws. There are two ways to mount the camera: Surface mount: Use this method to mount the camera directly on the ceiling. See Surface Mount on page 10. Gang Box Mount: If the camera will be mounted on a gang box (applicable in some areas in the US), a gang box converter (not included in the camera package) is needed. See Gang Box Mount on page 13. 9 www.acti.
Hardware Manual Surface Mount 1. Mark the location of the screw holes base on the drill template included in the package. Conduit Hole NOTE: Depending on the surface where you will install the camera, it may be necessary to drill three (3) holes with φ 3.5 on the ceiling and use the supplied screw tox. 2. Route the cables through the ceiling, taking the Conduit Hole on the drilling template as a reference. Or, slide off the cable exit tab on the dome cover to route the cable through that hole later.
Hardware Manual 3. Use the camera body and locate the three (3) screw holes. 4. Install the camera body to the ceiling using the three (3) screws included in the camera package. NOTE: Please make sure the screw is flat on the plate. 11 www.acti.

Hardware Manual Basic Connections Follow the procedures below to connect the camera to the network. Please use a PoE (Power over Ethernet) supported switch or injector: 1) Connect your IP Camera to the PoE Switch / Injector by CAT5 or CAT6 cables with RJ45 connector. 2) Connect your PoE Switch / Injector to a PC using another CAT5 / CAT6 network cable. 16 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 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 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 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.
