Hardware Manual Before Installation This section describes the procedures in preparing the external devices that you can connect to the camera. Depending on your surveillance needs, you may connect digital input (DI) or digital output (DO) or audio input / output devices to your camera. The camera comes with one (1) terminal block for both digital and audio input / output devices. The use of these devices, however, is optional.
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 High Voltage DO Device Connection Even though the camera provides 12V power, this may not be enough for some high voltage DO devices, such as a ceiling light or a motor that opens or closes a gate. In this case, there is a need to connect an external relay.

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 Double-click on the camera model name, the default browser of the PC is automatically launched and the IP address of the target camera is already filled in the address bar of the browser. 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 Use the default IP address of a camera: 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: Upon successful connection to the camera, the user interface called Web Configurator would appear together with the login page.
