Hardware Manual Waterproof Solution Using the “Pigtail” 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. When using a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch or injector, connecting the network cable through the “pigtail” is recommended.
Hardware Manual How to Use the Female Cable Gland This section describes how to waterproof the cable-out or “pigtail” of the camera using the bundled female cable gland.

Hardware Manual Waterproof Solution Using the Camera Connectors For more flexible applications, use the connectors at the back of the camera to connect a power adapter or other devices. Or in some cases, users may require the use of specific cables with customized length. In such cases, use one of the following solutions: Bundled Accessory Description Male Cable Gland Use this solution if the “pigtail” must be replaced with a different cable.
Hardware Manual Before connecting any devices to the camera connectors, remove the back cover first. 1. Using the bundled hex screwdriver, loosen the four (4) screws to remove the back cover. NOTE: The network cable connected to the Ethernet port is the other end of the “pigtail”. If the “pigtail” will not be used to connect the camera to the network, disconnect this cable and remove the “pigtail” from the camera (see How to Remove the “Pigtail” on page 42 for detailed information). 2.
Hardware Manual How to Use the Male Cable Gland This section describes how to waterproof the cable using the male cable gland. This solution is useful only when you need to replace the cable-out or “pigtail” of the camera (see How to Remove the “Pigtail” on page 42 for detailed information). For normal applications, the use of “pigtail” is sufficient and there is no need for replacement.

Hardware Manual Connecting DI/DO and Audio Devices (Optional) Depending on your surveillance needs, you may connect digital input / output or audio input / output devices to your camera. The camera comes with one (1) terminal block for both digital and audio input/output devices. How to Connect DI/DO Devices Digital Input (DI) devices can be used to notify the camera about an activity in the camera site. DI can be triggers of events.
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. See wiring scheme below: Note that when choosing an appropriate relay, please refer to its specifications and make sure they match the above design.
Hardware Manual How to Connect Audio Devices Audio input / output devices, such as an active microphone or speaker can be connected to the camera using the supplied terminal block. Press and hold the orange tab as you insert the wire through the pin slot, then release the orange tab to secure the wire.
Hardware Manual Other Adjustments and Accessories How to Remove the “Pigtail” For applications that may require the use of the Ethernet port at the back of the camera, remove the “pigtail” from the camera. Follow the procedures below: 1. Loosen the four (4) screws to remove the back cover of the camera. 2. Disconnect the network cable from the Ethernet port and let it loose. NOTE: This network cable is the other end of the “pigtail”. 42 www.acti.
Hardware Manual 3. Using the bundled camera base wrench, detach the two (2) screws to remove the bracket. 4. Remove the clamping nut and sealing insert. 5. Remove the rubber from the dome cover. 6. Remove the gland body from the camera. 43 www.acti.
Hardware Manual 7. Remove the sealing insert and clamping nut from the cable, and then pull out the “pigtail” from the bracket. 8. Using a coin or screwdriver, remove the cap from the back cover. Then attach the cap to close the cable hole. 9. Attach the bracket to the camera. 10. Attach the back cover of the camera (as needed). 44 www.acti.
Hardware Manual How to Insert a Memory Card The camera supports local video recording or saving of snapshots to a memory card. NOTE: Supports microSDHC and microSDXC cards. How to Insert the Memory Card 1. Open the back cover of the camera. 2. Insert a memory card into the card slot with the metallic contacts facing down. Push the card until it clicks into place.
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 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: http://192.168.0.100 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.
