The breakout cable on Channel Vision’s IP Cameras are used for motion detection, event triggering,
alarm notifications etc.
The provided interface connections are explained below.
1. Digital Input (GND+DI):
An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, for example
PIRs, door/window contacts, broken glass detectors, etc. When a signal is received, the state changes
and the input becomes active.
2. Relay output (GND+DO)
A selectable output for a relay switch, for example LEDs, Sirens, etc.
Normally Open and Normally Closed can be selected via the Internet Explorer ActiveX control under
the “I/O Setting” section on the left.
3. Reset to factory default
To restore your IP camera to Channel Vision default settings, unplug the power supply from the
camera. Then, plug in power cable and press the “reset” button on the camera for 30 seconds. Once
30 seconds have passed, remove the electric wire and plug in the Ethernet cable. Use IP installer to
find the camera IP. (Default is http://192.168.1.200) Default username and password is “admin”

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that integrates power into a standard LAN infrastructure. It
enables power to be provided to the network device, such as an IP phone or a network camera, using
the same cable that is used for the network connection.
The PoE switch eliminates the need for power outlets at the camera locations and enables an easier
application of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to ensure 24 hours a day, 7 days a week operation.
The recommended requirement for a PoE switch is 802.3at, 30.0W.
The minimum requirement for a PoE switch is 802.3af 15W.
If using a PoE switch that does not meet these specifications, full functionality may not be supported.
WARNING: DO NOT CUT THE BREAKOUT CABLE.
CUTTING THE CABLE WILL VOID THE WARRANTY ON THE DEVICE.
To access the micro
SD card slot and
reset button, remove
the camera cover.

1. Use without conversion ring (left)
a. Use the three included screws to
secure the base of the camera to
the wall or ceiling. Screw on the
camera cover, as tight as possible.
2. Use with conversion ring (right)
a. Use three screws to lock conversion
ring onto the ceiling or wall.
b. Use the second set of three screws to
combine the base of the camera with
the conversion ring. The cable can
pass through the hole on the side of
the conversion ring.
c. Screw on the camera cover, as tightly
as possible.
Surface mount: (With conversion ring)
Typically used on a brick wall or in an
application that requires the breakout
cable to be fed out of the side of the
camera.
Flush mount: (Without conversion ring)
Typically used on a ceiling or where the
cable can be hidden under the camera.

Your IP Camera comes set to DHCP by default. This means that, just like your laptop computer or desktop PC, an IP
address is automatically assigned to the IP camera by your router. This, combined with UPnP (Universal Plug and
Play), will make the IP setup of the IP camera a quick and easy task to accomplish.
*For the best security, Channel Vision recommends you use a static IP setting and standard port forwarding.
1. Open IP installer. This is located on your software disk.
2. An IP address should already be assigned
In the example below, the router has assigned 192.168.1.199 to the IP Camera
3. Double click on the name of the IP Camera. This will open the IP camera in your default browser
Option One: Assigning an IP Address (DHCP)

Connecting To The IP Camera (DHCP)
5. The first time you connect to the camera via Internet Explorer, it will ask you to install the ActiveX control.
Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, or 9 must be used to run this ActiveX control.
4. You will be prompted for a username and password.
The default username is ‘admin’
The default password is ‘admin’
Installing The ActiveX Control
8

1. Use the software, “IP Installer” to assign the IP address to your IP Camera.
You can find "IP Installer" in the supplied CD.
2. Execute IP Installer, located on your disk under the folder “Software”
3. If Windows prompts you to unblock IP Installer, you must select “unblock”
There are 3 options of IP configuration:
A. Fixed IP (Public IP or Virtual IP)
B. DHCP (Dynamic IP)
C. Dial-up/DSL (PPPoE)
"IP Installer" will search all IP Cameras connected to your LAN network.The user can
click “Search Device” to search again.
Double click the camera name to go directly to the camera
Option Two: Assigning an IP Address (Static)
9

Assigning an IP Address (Static) /cont
4. Click the start icon on your computer.
5. Type the word “run” and select enter on your keyboard.
6. Type in ‘cmd’ and press enter on your keyboard, or press ok.
7. Type in ‘ipconfig /all’ into the DOS prompt that appears. Press “Enter”.
8. Write down your computer’s IP address.
Do not use the same IP address as the computer in the IP Camera.
In the example below, the computer’s IP address is 192.168.1.74.
The IP address of the IP camera must be different than the IP address in the computer.
Each network-able device in your network has an IP address assigned.
The IP chosen for your IP Camera is not the same address as any other device on your network.
10

9. Copy/write down the following information from the DOS prompt.
A. Default Gateway (Example 192.168.1.1)
B. DNS Server (if 2 servers, use the first one, for example 192.168.1.9)
C. Subnet Mask (Example 255.255.255.0)
11
Assigning an IP Address (Static) /cont

To change numbers, select the appropriate area on IP installer
with your mouse, and type in the info.
7. Enter the information you wrote down into the IP camera network page
A. Default Gateway (Enter this number under “Gateway”)
B. DNS Server (Enter this number under “DNS 1”)
C. Subnet Mask (Enter this number under “Netmask”)
8. Giving the IP Camera a unique IP address.
Assign an IP address to the IP Camera by using the first 3 sets of numbers of your default gateway.
An IP address has 4 sets of numbers, each followed by a period.
For example, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
My default gateway is 192.168.1.1
For example, my IP Camera’s address will start with 192.168.1.xxx
9. Make sure you use a number different that your computer’s IP address.
(Generally between 2-250) This number needs to be out of the range of DHCP. DHCP is assigned with
your router, and can be checked by logging into the router.
My computer’s IP address is 192.168.1.74. 192.168.1.208 is used in the example below.
You must choose a number that is different from your computer’s IP.
If your IT technician has designated a static internal IP for your IP Camera, use that address.
10. To assign the port, choose a port between 5400-9000, and type it into “Port 1” If a specific port has
*Disclaimer: This is an example based on a general network setup.
All networks do not match these settings exactly, as all networks are different

recommended, but any network
port can be used)

Assigning an IP Address (Static) /cont

Connecting To The IP Camera (Static)
1. The first time you connect to the camera via Internet Explorer, it will ask you to install the
ActiveX control. Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, or 9 must be used to run this ActiveX control.
1. Open Internet Explorer. Type the IP address of the IP camera into the browser link window.
Also, make sure to type the port at the end of the link.
For example, I will type in http://192.168.1.199:9000
2. You will be prompted for a username and password.
The default username is ‘admin’
The default password is ‘admin’
