Connecting Cables
Refer to the diagrams in the Overview section for the location of the different connectors.
To connect the cables required for proper operation, complete the following:
1. If external input or output devices are part of the installation (for example: door contacts,relays, etc),
connect the devices to the I/O Terminals.
2. If an external microphone or speaker is required, connect the devices to the audio connector.
3. Connect power using one of the following methods:
o
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Class 3 — If PoE is available, the LEDs will turn on.
o
External Power — Connect an external 12 VDC or 24 VAC power source to the power connector
block.
4. Connect a network cable to the Ethernet Port (RJ-45 connector).
The Link LED will turn on once a network link has been established.
5. Check that the Connection Status LED indicates the correct state. For more information, see LED
Indicators on page11.
Assigning an IP Address
The camera automatically obtains an IP address when it is connected to a network.
NOTE: If the camera cannot obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, it will use Zero Configuration Networking
(Zeroconf) to choose an IP address. When set using Zeroconf, the IP address is in the 169.254.0.0/16 subnet.
The IP address settings can be changed using one of the following methods:
l Camera's web browser interface: http://<camera IP address>/
l ARP/Ping method. For more information, see Setting the IP Address Using the ARP/Ping Method on
page13
l Network Video Management software application (for example, Avigilon™ Control Center).
NOTE: The default camera username is admin and the default password is admin.
Accessing the Live VideoStream
Live video stream can be viewed using one of the following methods:
l Web browser interface: http://<IP address>/
l Network Video Management software application (for example, the Avigilon Control Center software).
NOTE: The default camera username is admin and the default camera password is admin.
Aiming and Focusing the Camera
