Operation Manual

Accessing the Camera

By default, users do not have to log in to view video; anyone who accesses the camera can view live video. If you want to prevent users

from viewing video without logging in, you must change the permissions for public users.

The recommended browsers for your camera are Internet Explorer

or Mozilla

Firefox

for Microsoft

Windows

operating systems

and Firefox for Mac

operating systems.

1. Open a web browser.

2. Type the camera’s IP address (192.168.0.20) or host name in your browser’s address bar, and then press Enter.

NOTE: You can obtain your camera’s IP address or access the camera using the Pelco Device Utility software. If DHCP is enabled

but a DHCP server is not on the network, the camera automatically assigns itself both an IPv4 link local address (169.254.x.x, where

the lower two octets are random) and a 192.168.0.20 address. Additional cameras will assign themselves different IPv4 link local

addresses and the next available 192.168.0.x IP addresses in sequential order. For example, if three cameras are connected to a

network without a DHCP server, the first camera to connect assigns itself the IP address 192.168.0.20, the second camera assigns

itself 192.168.0.21, and the third camera assigns itself 192.168.0.22.

3. Click Login.

4. Type your user name and password.

NOTE:

• In its out-of-the-box configuration, the camera has no user name and password assigned. For security purposes, it is recom-

mended that you set an administrative user name and password after initial configuration of the camera. Creation of an admin-

istrative user name changes the state of the camera to its “operational mode,” where credentials must be provided in order

to change its configuration.

• There is no provision for recovering a forgotten administrator user name or password. The camera can be restored to its

out-of-the box, no-password configuration by powering down, depressing the reset button with an object such as a paper clip,

and holding the button down for at least five seconds while powering the camera back up.

• If a user name and password exist, a Login link appears in the upper right area of your web browser.

5. Click Log In.

Accessing Camera Settings

Access to camera settings is determined by user permissions. If you do not have access to camera settings, the Settings link will not

appear in the upper-right corner of the interface.

1. Log in.

2. Click Settings.

3. Select the setting you want to change. Place your mouse pointer over any tab on the page to reveal submenus.

Camera Configuration Sequence

Once the camera is installed and power is applied, the camera undergoes a configuration sequence, taking approximately two minutes

to complete. The camera will come online once the configuration sequence is complete.

NOTE: If the camera connected to a network without a DHCP server and DHCP is enabled, the configuration sequence can take up to five

minutes to complete.
