Hardware Manual Waterproof Cable Installation There are two ways to waterproof the cable installation: Waterproof without Conduit: Waterproof cable connection with naked cable. Waterproof with Conduit: Waterproof cable connection with watertight flex conduit.
Hardware Manual Waterproof without Conduit 1. Prepare the Waterproof without Conduit cable accessories. Detach the parts as follows: Main Body Rubber Seal Clamping Nut NOTE: The above accessories come in two sets, one for the Ethernet cable of the camera and the other for the network. 2.

Hardware Manual 4. Insert the main body. 5. Do the same procedures on the Ethernet cable on the network side. Camera Side Network Side 6. Connect the Ethernet connector of the camera and the network to each side of the 2-sided female type connector. 2-Sided Female Type Connector Ethernet cable from the network Ethernet cable of the camera 13 www.acti.
Hardware Manual 7. On the Ethernet cable on the camera side, attach the rubber seal to the main body. 8. Attach the main body to the 2-sided female type connector. 9. Attach the clamping nut to the main body. 14 www.acti.
Hardware Manual 10. Do the same procedures on the network cable side. Below is a complete cable connection. NOTES on using Ethernet cables: For waterproof without conduit installation, 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. 15 www.acti.
Hardware Manual Waterproof with Conduit 1. Prepare the Waterproof with Conduit cable accessories (included in the waterproof cable kit) and flexible conduit cable (not included), with ½” diameter. 2-Sided Female Type Connector Washer Converter Main Body 2. Detach the parts of the main body, as follows: Clamping Nut Body Sealing Insert Lock Nut NOTE: The Lock Nut is designed for use with junction boxes and will not be used in this installation. Please set it aside. 16 www.acti.
Hardware Manual 3. Insert the clamping nut through the Ethernet cable of the camera. 4. Insert the rubber seal. 5. Insert the main body, and then set the camera side cable aside. 17 www.acti.
Hardware Manual 6. On the network side, insert the Ethernet cable through the flex conduit. 7. Insert the clamping nut through the flex conduit. 8. Insert the sealing insert and attach it at the end of the flex conduit. 18 www.acti.
Hardware Manual 9. Insert the body through the Ethernet cable and then the converter. 10. Insert the washer into the thicker side of the 2-sided female type connector. 11. Connect the Ethernet cable of the network side to the thicker-end of the 2-sided female type connector, and the camera side to the shorter end.

Hardware Manual Basic Connections To connect the camera, you need to prepare the following: Power over Ethernet (PoE) supported switch (to connect multiple cameras) or PoE injector (to connect a single camera) Ethernet cables Connecting a Single Camera To connect a single camera, use a PoE injector to supply both data and power to the camera using one Ethernet cable. Follow the procedures below: 1. Connect the camera to the PoE injector directly or by using the 2-sided female type connector. 2.
Hardware Manual Connecting Multiple Cameras To connect multiple cameras, use a PoE switch. 1) Connect the camera(s) to the PoE switch directly or by using the 2-sided female type connector of each camera. 2) Connect the PoE switch to a network and an AC power source. 3) Connect a PC to the same network. Network Ethernet Cable Ethernet Cable (Data) PoE Switch Ethernet Cables (Data+Power) Power Cable AC Power Source Cameras 23 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.
Hardware Manual Other Adjustments and Accessories Adjust the Viewing Angle 1. Open the front cover. 2. Based on the live view from the camera, adjust the focal length and focus of the target area. Focal Length Focus 3. When done, close the front cover. CAUTION: The front cover must be tightly closed to ensure water or dust does not go through any opening. 30 www.acti.
Hardware Manual Attach the Sunshield The use of sunshield is optional if the camera will be installed indoors. However, if the camera will be installed outdoors, attach the sunshield to protect the lens from all types of weather and lighting conditions. 1. Loosely secure the supplied screws and washers to attach the sunshield. 2. Slide to adjust the sunshield to cover the lens as far as possible but out of the camera’s live view. 3. Tighten the screws to fix the position of the sunshield.
