Hardware Manual Mounting Options There are several mounting options that you can use to install the camera. Select the most suitable solution for your installation environment. Mount Types Accessories Wall Suitable when mounting the camera directly on walls using the integrated bracket. See Installation Procedures on page 11. Ceiling Suitable when mounting the camera directly on walls using the integrated bracket. See Installation Procedures on page 11.
Hardware Manual Installation Procedures This section describes the procedures in installing the camera on a flat surface such as a hard or dropped ceiling and straight or tilted walls. Before installation, make sure the wall or ceiling can bear more than the weight of the camera. Step 1: Prepare for Installation 1. Depending on the wall material, purchase applicable screws and screws plugs (as needed) that can hold the camera and bracket weight on the wall. 2.
Hardware Manual Step 2: Mount the Camera 1. Mark the location of the screw holes based on the drill template included in the package. NOTE: Depending on the surface where you will install the camera, it may be necessary to drill three (3) holes and use the supplied screw tox. 2. Attach the camera to the surface using the three (3) supplied screws. 3. Adjust the camera installation angle and orientation, and then tighten the two (2) screws to fix its position. 12 www.acti.
Hardware Manual Step 3: Waterproof and Connect the Cable(s) The camera and the pre-installed network cable, “pigtail”, are resistant to salt, water, weak acid, alcohol, oil, grease and other common solvents. However, users must ensure that the cable connection and the network side cable itself are also protected from different environmental factors. Using Waterproof Tape Regardless of the shape of the camera cable connector, the simplest way to waterproof to connection is by using the waterproof tape.
Hardware Manual Step 4: Connect to Network Connect the other end of the network cable to a switch or injector. Then, connect the switch or injector to a network, PC, and a power source. See Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connection example below.
Hardware Manual Other Connections This section describes the procedures in preparing the external devices that you can connect to the camera. The camera supports DC12V power input, Digital Input and Output (DI/DO) and Audio Input and Output devices using the bundled terminal blocks. The use of these devices, however, is optional. NOTE: After connecting external devices, use a waterproof tape to protect the cable connection or house the cable inside a junction box (purchased separately).
Hardware Manual How to Connect Audio Input / Output Devices (Optional) A3x For A3x models, connect the audio output device, such as a speaker, to the Audio Output jack of the camera. If the camera will be installed outdoors, make sure to wrap the cable with waterproof tape or use a junction box to protect the cable from water leak. A4x If using an audio input device, such as a microphone with a built-in amplifier, connect the device to the Mic Input jack (RED) of the camera.
Hardware Manual Other Adjustments and Accessories How to Reset the Camera (A4x only) The camera has a Reset button that can be used to restore the camera to its factory default settings when the need arises.
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 latest IP Utility can be downloaded for free from http://www.acti.
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. Full functionality is provided only for Microsoft Internet Explorer.
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. 23 www.acti.
