Hardware Manual Step 3: Waterproof the Cable Connections The camera itself is waterproof, however take note that the cable connections are not. If the camera is mounted directly on the wall where the cables pass through the wall, then your installation is complete and you do not need to waterproof the cable connections. However, if the camera is mounted where the cables may be exposed then it is recommended to waterproof the cable connections or use a junction box.

Hardware Manual How to Use the Junction Box When the camera is mounted with the cable connections exposed, such as when using the corner or pole mount, use the PMAX-0700 Junction Box (not included in the package) to house the cable connections. 1. Place all the cables and the power adapter (if using one) inside the junction box. Then, secure the camera mount to the junction box. 2.
Hardware Manual 3. Secure the flex conduit fitting onto the junction box hole. Note: The PMAX-0700 Junction Box is not a bundled accessory. Contact your sales agents to purchase. 27 www.acti.
Hardware Manual Step 4: Connect the Equipment How to View the Camera on Your PC Perform the following connections to view the camera from your PC: 1. Connect the camera and the PC to the same network using Ethernet cables. 2. Connect the camera to a power supply using the supplied power adaptor and power cord. The Power LED of the camera will flash a few times and turn off as the camera mechanical components initialize. Wait for the initialization to complete.
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 Use the default IP address of the camera If there is no DHCP server in the given network, the user may have to manually assign the IP addresses to both the PC and the camera to make sure they are in the same network segment. When the camera is plugged into the 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 both have their unique IP addresses and are under the same network segment, you can use Microsoft Internet Explorer on the PC to access the camera. Note: Only Microsoft Internet Explorer is supported by the camera at the time of writing this documentation. Please refer to our website (www.acti.com) for future upgrades.
Hardware Manual 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. Before logging in, you need to know the factory default Account and Password of the camera. Account: Admin Password: 123456 For further operations, please refer to the Firmware User Manual. 34 www.acti.
Hardware Manual Appendix How to Connect Digital Input / Digital Output Devices Depending on your surveillance needs, you may connect digital input or output devices to your camera to trigger events or notifications. Digital Input (DI) devices can be used to notify the camera about an activity in the camera site. DI can be triggers of events. For example, you can connect a “panic button” to the camera; as such when the panic button is pressed, the alarm signal will be sent through the camera.
Hardware Manual Understanding the DI/DO Cables You can connect up to two DI and two DO devices 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 (<100mA), 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, use the Black (GND) and the Red (DI1) cables to connect a DI device and use the Brown (12V) and the Orange (DO1) cables to connect a DO device.
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. See wiring scheme below: Note that when choosing an appropriate relay, please refer to its specifications and make sure they match the above design.
