VIDEO QUALITY CAUTION
Frame Rate Notice Regarding User-Selected Options
Pelco systems are capable of providing high-quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second, which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event not being recorded by the system.
Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the products for their own intended application, picture rate, and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

Connecting the Cables

If previously removed, reinstall the camera module by screwing it into the backbox. The I/O interfaces will be seen on the front of the camera module. Make the appropriate cable connections.

ETHERNET WIRING REQUIREMENT FOR POE+

Connect a Cast5e cable or higher cable (not supplied) to the RJ-45 network connector. the 8-pin port includes video over Ethernet, and PoE+ for the camera. PoE+ injects power over the same cabling that carries the network data, eliminating the need for a separate power supply. This simplifies the installation and operation of the camera without affecting network performance.
PELCO Sarix Enhanced III Dome Cameras - ETHERNET WIRING REQUIREMENT FOR
POE+

POWER WIRING

To wire the connector, insert cables into the power connector (supplied). Attach the cables per Figure 1 (e.g. Pin 1 is 12 VDC or 24 VAC 1; Pin 2 is GND or 24 VAC 2) with a small slotted screwdriver and then plug the adapter plug into the camera.
NOTE: 12 VDC OR 24 VAC may be used instead of PoE+ or in addition to PoE+ for power failover in case PoE+/network is temporarily lost.

POSITIONING THE CAMERA
  • Pan Adjustment: Rotate the lens base until you are satisfied with the field of view.

  • Horizontal Rotation: Rotate 3D assembly in the lens base.

  • Tilt Adjustment: Lift to open the inner liner, and tilt the camera lens to your designed angle. Restore the inner liner back to its default
    position after adjustment.

  • NOTE: Limitation for three axes position:

  • Pan range: 370°

  • Rotate range: ±100°

  • Tilt range: -10° to -90°

  • The camera field of view is set by making adjustments to zoom and focus via the Web UI. Refer to the operations manual.

Completing the Camera Installation

1. If previously removed, reattach the safety lanyard to the backbox.
2. Reattach the lower dome to the backbox by fastening the three screws. Refer to the following figures for the appropriate method to
reattach the lower dome.PELCO Sarix Enhanced III Dome Cameras - Completing
the Camera Installation

3. Put on the trim ring and rotate it clockwise to secure the trim ring on the bracket.

Accessing the Camera

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 the latest version of Internet Explorer®, Microsoft™ EdgeTM, Google ChromeTM browser, or Mozilla® Firefox®. for supported browser versions, refer to the specification sheet.
1. Open a web browser.
2. Type the camera’s IP address (192.168.0.20) or hostname in your browser’s address bar, and press Enter.
NOTE: You can obtain your camera’s IP address or access the camera using the Pelco Device Utility or VxToolbox 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 192.168.0xIP 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. If needed, type your user name and password.
NOTE: For security purposes, it is recommended that you create a user account when you log in to the camera for the first time.
• In its out-of-the-box configuration, the camera has no user name and password assigned. For security purposes, it is recommended that you
set an administrative user name and password after the initial configuration of the camera. The creation of an administrative 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 Factory Defaults button, and holding the button down for at least four 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.
