Installation guide
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 external video monitor needs to be connected to the camera, connect the
devices to the camera Audio/Video Connector.
3. Connect a network cable to the camera’s Ethernet Port (RJ-45 connector).
o
Wrap the cable once around the interior base of the dome housing before you make the
connection. This will ensure the cable connector is not over-stressed and cause poor video
performance.
o
The Link LED will turn on once a network link has been established.
4. 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.
5. Check that the Connection Status LED indicates the correct state. For more information, see LED
Indicators on page14.
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
page16
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 VideoStream
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.
