INSTALLATION

1. Place the installation template (paper) that is included in the package on the desired installation surface.

2. Drill three holes in correct positions based on the template paper, and insert anchor blocks into the holes.

3. Place the camera body to the installation surface and match three alignment holes with three anchor blocks. Then tighten the surface anchor studs.

4. Connect all the required cables to the camera. If the camera may be exposed to water, install the waterproof grommet to help prevent damage.

5. Adjust the lens position. Detailed information can be found in 4.2. Setting the Lens Position.

6. Place the dome cover on the main body of the camera. Dome cover has three alignment holes that match camera body’s alignment holes.

7. Once properly placed, insert screws into the three holes of the body and tighten them up.

To prevent products from damaging, place the camera on stable and non vibrating surfaces. If the stability is in doubt, consult with safety personnel for reinforcements, and then proceed with  the installation. Use waterproof silicone to seal all connections and surfaces.

4.1. Installation Template

Installation template image’s size scale in this installation guide is not 1:1.
The correct-size template design paper can be found inside the package separately.

4.2. Setting the Lens Position
Instruction below describes how to set the lens positions and manually adjust zoom and focus.

1. Remove the dome cover.
2. Set the lens position by rotating the camera gimbal; to pan, rotate the reinforced lower body of the gimbal; to tilt, vertically adjust the camera gimbal.

Refrain from continuously rotating the camera gimbal with excessive force to a single direction as it is attached with the IR-LED cable inside the dome.
The camera image’s brightness, contrast, saturation and sharpness are adjustable through the image settings. (Configuration > Camera Set > Image Set).

CONNECTIONS

1. Audio input/output
   The camera has a mono audio input and a mono audio output. Due to low audio output power, an amplified speaker is recommended for enhanced sound
   (Do not connect a headphone or earphone directly to the camera)

2. ALM IN connection
   The camera provides 2 channel ALM IN. It can be connected to either a voltage type sensor or a relay type sensor as the following figures. Settings can be done through the camera’s  webpage.
   Input voltage range: 0VDC minimum to 5VDC maximum, Max 50mA Input voltage threshold: 1.5V
   Do not exceed the maximum input voltage or relay rate.

3. ALM OUT connection
   Only the relay type is supported.
   Relay Rating: Max 24VDC 50mA
   Do not exceed the maximum relay rating.

4. Video Output (Use Supported Cable Only)
   The camera provides 1 video out

5. LAN connection
   This is a RJ45 LAN connector for 10/100 Base-T Ethernet. Connect a LAN cable.

When the device is connected, the orange LED blinks while green LED stays on.

CONFIGURATION

6.1. Custom IP Environment
Search Config Tool is provided in the dealer portal. (http://help.visualint.net)
Search Config Tool is a management tool, which automatically scans all of the network products for users to perform administrative tasks, which includes network configurations, firmware update, device reboot, and device organizations.
Web streaming and device configurations are supported through ActiveX program. When the ActiveX installation window appears, authorize and install the ActiveX.

To modify the device’s default IP address for customized network area;

1. Find the device from the Search Config Tool’s list and check the box next to the device.
2. Enter the Beginning IP Address / Subnet Mask / Gateway / DNS
3. Click ‘Batch Modify IP’ to complete the modification.

6.2. View video on web page
Type the proper IP address to view the live streaming images through a web browser.
The default username and password is admin / admin. When visiting the web interface the first time an Active X plugin will need to be installed.

1. Setup.exe installation link or pop-up window appears, depends on Microsoft® Internet Explorer version. Click Run.

2. Select English

3. Follow the instructions of the dialog boxes and complete the installation. Once the installation is complete, start the web browser again. Click the Allow for All sites button displayed in  bottom of the main view frame.

6.3. Access through Search Configuration Tool
Search Configuration Tool automatically searches all activated network encoders and IP cameras and shows the product name, IP address, MAC address and etc.
From the Search Configuration Tool product list, select the device by highlighting it.

1. Right-click the mouse and select Enter IE
2. The system’s default web browser opens the device’s address. Please make sure you are running Internet Explorer 8 or later (Microsoft Edge is not supported)
   Whether directly accessing the streaming video through typing IP address on a web page or taking steps through Search Configuration Tool, the ActiveX is needed to be installed for the  Microsoft® Internet Explorer to have the complete administrative privileges.

6.4. Export Device Information
Perform the following procedures to Export the Device Search in .csv format:

1. Click the Export Device Information.
2. Choose the target save location.

APPENDIX (B): POWER OVER ETHERNET

The Power over Ethernet (PoE) is designed to extract power from a conventional twisted pair Category 5 Ethernet cable, conforming to the IEEE 802.3af Power- over-Ethernet (PoE) standard.
IEEE 802.3af allows for two power options for Category 5 cables.
The IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard allows up to 15.4 W power to device. However, 12.95W is the maximum available power, as some power gets lost in the cable.
PoE has advantages over conventional power in such places where AC powers cannot be reached or expensive to wire.
Note: For proper activation of 12V PoE, the Category 5 cable must be shorter than 140m and conform the PoE standard.
PoE compatibility
With non-Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)
When it is connected with non PSE, the power adaptor (not included) should be connected.
With power adaptor
Connecting both PSE and power adaptor does not do any harm to the product, but power adaptor will be the only power source for the device as it has priority over PSE. In this case, disconnecting power adaptor while it is operating will cause the device to reboot. And PoE will be the power source for the device after the reboot.

Power classification
The PoE Power Class supported by the IP device is Class 0.
