Keep the camera away from water and any liquid.
While shipping, the camera should be packed in its original packing.
Improper use or replacement of the battery may result in hazard of explosion. Please use the
manufacturer recommended battery type.
NOTE:
For cameras that support IR, you are required to pay attention to the following precautions to prevent
IR reflection.
Dust or grease on the dome cover will cause IR reflection. Please do not remove the dome cover
film until the installation is finished. If there is dust or grease on the dome cover, clean the dome
cover with clean soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
Make certain the installation location does not have reflective surfaces of objects too close to the
camera. The IR light from the camera may reflect back into the lens causing reflection.
The foam ring around the lens must be seated flush against the inner surface of the bubble to
isolate the lens from the IR LEDS. Fasten the dome cover to camera body so that the foam ring
and the dome cover are attached seamlessly.

1VISIX V-Series All-in One Cameras
1.1 Introduction
VISIX V-Series All-in-One, edge-based IP cameras are powerful, full-featured, VMS and advanced analytic
capable. VISIX V-Series cameras provide a complete surveillance solution for the small and medium sized
businesses and for unique single-point applications.
These new cameras’ embedded analytics use algorithms that automatically self-adjust, so the user can
concentrate on the all-important detection rules. This feature greatly simplifies the analytical process,
requiring only a few mouse clicks to configure a detection rule. Such advanced analytics enable object
classification, direction determination, people counting, and dwell times meaning the camera’s
intelligence becomes valuable and can be leveraged across the organization, not just for security and
loss-prevention.
When enabled, the embedded VIGIL Server software allows these cameras to be run as stand-alone
devices, recording video to the onboard memory card. This makes these All-in-One cameras compatible
with 3xLOGIC’s existing software suite including VIGIL Client, VIGIL VCM, VIGIL View Lite II, and VIGIL
Cloud applications. Simple plug-and-play installation enables camera access using a standard web
browser (Microsoft IE/Edge required for ActiveX Control), VIGIL Client, or through a mobile device or
tablet utilizing the easy-to-use QR code quick setup.
Several models exist to best suit any number of environments, however operation of the V-Series All-in-
One software (web) interface remains uniform across all models. Details on identifying and connecting
to a camera on your network, accessing a camera’s web interface, settings, video and details regarding
the camera’s web interface itself are contained within this manual.

2Identifying the Camera on your Network
2.1 Identifying Camera IP Address
To begin viewing video or configuring a camera’s network settings from the camera’s web/browser
interface, the user must first identify the device’s IP address. The default IP address of the camera is
192.168.XXX.XXX. The default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.
On simple, private networks, a user can manually identify the IP address of the camera by converting the
camera’s MAC address hex values, however, the alternative method, which is recommended by 3xLOGIC,
is to use the 3xLOGIC (VSX-IP) Camera Setup Utility. The utility makes detection and configuration of VISIX
camera’s in any network environment simple and easy, regardless of network complexity.
Please install the camera before continuing. Neither of the below methods require an external internet
connection, however, the camera and the PC being used to communicate with it must reside on the same
network.
MANUALLY IDENTIFY CAMERA IP ADDRESS (MAC ADDRESS HEX CONVERSION)
Users can access the camera’s web interface and settings using a device’s default IP address: In case of
generic private network environment where IP address 192.168.XXX.XXX are used, the following procedure
can be used to identify a device’s IP address.
Steps:
1). Convert the device’s MAC address to the IP address. Refer to Section 8: Hexadecimal-Decimal
Conversion Chart at the end of the manual (the MAC address of the device is written on the
label affixed to the side or bottom of the device).
2). Start the Microsoft® Internet Explorer/Edge web browser and enter the address of the device.
3). Web streaming and device configurations are supported through ActiveX program. When the
ActiveX installation window appears, authorize and install the ActiveX.
MAC address = 00-13-23-01-14-B1 → IP address = 192.168.20.177
Convert the last two sets of hexadecimal numbers to decimal numbers.

AUTOMATICALLY IDENTIFY CAMERA IP ADDRESS WITH 3XLOGIC CAMERA SETUP UTILITY
Using the 3xLOGIC Camera (VSX-IP) Setup Utility is recommended for any network environment as it will
find all VISIX cameras across multiple subnet masks, utilizing mDNS search discovery. Camera
information such as IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Settings will be displayed and can be edited
from this utility. To search for a device, launch the utility (VSXIPUtility.exe):
Steps:
1). Click on Detect Online Devices/ Change IP Address to proceed to the Online Devices window.
Figure 2-1: Detecting Online Devices
After clicking Detect Online Devices/ Change IP Address on the main page you will be taken to the
Online Devices window. A list of all VISIX devices discovered on your network will be visible.
2). To select a device, click on the desired device in the generated menu under the Select Online
Devices area.
3). To change an IP address for a selected VISIX camera in the Detect Online Devices window,
select the desired camera, click on the Change IP Address button. The fields under the
Configure IP Address area will un-grey to allow for manual editing of camera IP addresses as
well as other settings.
Figure 2-2: Identifying Device IP Address
4). When you have finished editing the settings, click Save IP Address to save new changes.
5). Start the Microsoft® Edge/Internet Explorer web browser and enter the address of the device.

4.2 Configure VIGIL Connect Alias
VIGIL Connect allows VIGIL VMS users to remotely connect to a VIGIL Server/V-Series All-in-One camera
using the system serial number or a user defined VIGIL Connect alias, without the need for extensive
changes to an existing network’s settings. This allows for the device to be networked with other VIGIL
suite utilities with little effort and minimal knowledge of the device’s network connection values.
Steps:
1). To configure a VIGIL Connect alias, navigate to the camera’s Basic Tab>Camera Configuration
Menu>Site Information Settings page.
Figure 4-6: Configuring a VIGIL Connect Alias
2). Fill in the VIGIL Connect Alias field with an alias of your choosing.
3). Click Apply to save the new alias.
Your VISIX V-Series All-in-One camera can now be networked with other 3xLOGIC utilities and VIGIL suite
applications (VIGIL Client, VIGIL VCM, View Lite II(Android and iOS), 3xCLOUD, etc…) using only the
camera’s VIGIL Connect Alias.

4.3 Configure a Video Analytics (VCA) Rule (Analytics License Required)
ENABLING VCA
Before configuring any analytics rules, VCA (video content analysis) must first be enabled on your All-in-
One camera. An All-in-One Analytics license is required to configure and utilize VCA analytics rules on
VISIX All-in-One cameras. To enable VCA:
Steps:
1). Navigate to the Setup (Advanced) Tab > VCA > Enable/ Disable settings page.
2). Check off Enable under the VCA Configuration section.
Figure 4-7: Enabling VCA Analytics
After enabling VCA, several other configuration options will be deployed.
3). Under the VCA Features section, select active analytics type. For the purposes of this example,
both Object Tracking and Counting Line will be enabled.
4). Under the Tracking Mode section, select the analytics tracking mode. In this example, the
People tracking mode is selected (People tracking requires an Advanced analytics license. If
using Surveillance tracking mode, the steps in this example are still accurate.)
5). Click Apply to save the new settings.
VCA ANALYTICS CALIBRATION
Another preliminary step before configuring VCA analytics rules is the need to calibrate the cameras for
accurate analytics object recognition and tracking.
The calibration process includes configuring the correct camera angle and field of view, as well as the
delineation of anticipated object (people, car, etc…) size. Proper calibration of the camera is required to
ensure accurate analytics counts and tracking. To begin calibration:
Steps:
1). Navigate to the Setup (Advanced) Tab > VCA > Calibration settings page.

2). Adjust calibration settings as required. A user may perform basic calibration cameras via two
separate methods:
i. Click-and-Drag. - For this method, click and drag the green calibration grid to satisfactorily
emulate the camera’s height, tilt perspective, and field of view. The mimics may be moved
around the image to help the user gauge perspective. The mouse scroll wheel is also
utilized to adjust camera height, and consequentially the size of the calibration grid and
mimics. Use resizing of these elements to anticipate average object size.
ii. Manual Configuration - Manually enter/adjust calibration values under Camera Setup.As
the user enters values, the calibration overlay on the live preview will react accordingly.
3). If required, adjust Pan Angle and Roll Angle under the Advanced Parameters section using the
slider bars. As the sliders are moved, the calibration overlay over the preview image will react
accordingly. Advanced Parameters must be entered and cannot be adjusted using Click-and-
Drag.
Right-click within the video preview for the following calibration tools:
Right-Click Option
Description
Virtual Ruler
Select this tool to anchor a virtual ruler from the point-of the right click.
Drag your mouse across the image to extend the ruler. Use this feature to
ensure accurate perspective calibration settings.
Draw Horizon
Select this option to add a drawn horizon line to the calibration grid. This
horizon line will be visible when the camera’s tilt angle is twenty degrees or
less.
Transparent Grid
(enabled by default)
Select this option to make the green calibration grid transparent.
Add Mimic
Add another mimic to the live preview.
Pause
Pause the live preview image on the current frame.
4). When you have calibrated the camera to your satisfaction, click Apply to save the new
calibration settings.
