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 32 for more information on how to access the Live View of the camera.
Hardware Manual Other Connections This section describes the procedures in connecting Digital Input and Output (DI/DO) and Audio Input and Output devices. The use of these devices, however, is optional. Audio Input/Output Jacks DI/DO Wires NOTE: If these connectors will not be used, leave the rubber caps on and the wires twisted together to ensure cables remain waterproof and eliminate short-circuit hazards.
Hardware Manual Understanding the DI/DO Cables You can connect up to one (1) DI and one (1) DO device to your camera.
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, wire connection to Pins 1 to 4. Use the DIO GND and DI pins to connect a DI device and use the DIO PW 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://www.acti.com/kb/detail.asp?KB_ID=KB20091230001).

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 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.
