Connecting Cables
Refer to the diagrams in the Overview section for the location of the
different connectors.
To connect the cables required for proper operation, complete the
following:
1. If there are external input or output devices that need to be
connected to the camera (for example: door contacts,
relays, etc), connect the devices to the camera I/O
Terminals.
For more information, see Connecting to External Devices.
2. If an external microphone or external video monitor needs
to be connected to the camera, connect the devices to the
camera Audio/Video Connector.
For more information, see Connecting to Microphones and
Video Monitors.
3. Connect the Ethernet Port (RJ45 connector) to a network
using an Ethernet network cable. The Link LED will turn on
once a network link has been established.
4. Connect power using one of the following methods:
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) Class 3 — If PoE is
available, the camera is automatically detected
when the network cable is connected.
• External Power — Connect an external 12 VDC or
24 VAC power source to the power connector block.

5. Check that the Connection Status LED indicates the
correct state.
For more information, see LED Indicators.
Assigning an IP Address
The camera automatically obtains an IP address by default. Once
connected to a network, it attempts to locate and obtain an IP address
from a DHCP server. If this fails, Zero Configuration Networking
(Zeroconf) is used to choose an IP address. When the IP address is
set using Zeroconf, the IP address is in the 169.254.0.0/16 subnet.
The IP address settings can be changed using one of the following
methods:
• Avigilon Camera Installation Tool software application.
• Camera's web browser interface:
http://<camera IP address>/
• ARP/Ping method. For more information, see Setting the
IP Address through the ARP/Ping Method.
• Network Video Management software application (for
example, Avigilon Control Center).
NOTE: The default camera username is admin and the default
password is admin.
Accessing the Live Video Stream
Live video stream can be viewed using one of the following methods:
• Avigilon Camera Installation Tool software application.
• Camera's web browser interface:
http://<camera IP address>/.
• Network Video Management software application (for
example, Avigilon Control Center).
NOTE: The default camera username is admin and the default
password is admin.

The device can be powered from 12 VDC or 24 VAC. The power
consumption information is listed in the product specifications.
To connect power to the power connector block, complete the
following steps:
1. Remove the power connector block from the device.
2. Remove the insulation from ¼” (6 mm) of the power wires.
Do not nick or damage the wires.
3. Insert the two power wires into the two terminals on the
power connector block. The connection can be made with
either polarity.
Use a small slotted (5/64” or 2 mm blade width)
screwdriver to loosen and tighten the terminals.
4. Attach the power connector block back into the receptacle
on the device.
Warning — This product is intended to be supplied by a UL
Listed Power Unit marked “Class 2” or “LPS” or “Limited
Power Source” with output rated 12 VDC or 24 VAC, 6 W
min. or PoE rated 48 VDC, 6 W min.

Connecting to Microphones, Speakers
and Video Monitors
The camera can be connected to an external microphone, speaker
and video monitor through the audio/video connector. The connector
is a mini-jack (3.5 mm), and the pinout for it is shown in the following
diagram.
NOTE: The camera only supports line level mono audio input and an
NTSC or PAL video output.
The video output signal is determined by the camera flicker control
setting. When the camera flicker control is set to 60 Hz, the video
output signal is NTSC. When the flicker control is set to 50 Hz, the
video output signal is PAL. Use the Avigilon Camera Installation Tool
to configure the camera’s flicker control in the Image and Display
setup.
