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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
