Safety Warnings
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions for future reference.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Clean only with a dry cloth.
6. Install in accordance with these instructions.
7 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
that produce heat.
8. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.
9. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point of exit from the apparatus.
10. Only use attachments/accessories specified by Channel Vision.
11. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
12. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the inside of the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
13. The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
14. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence
of important operating and maintenance accompanying the appliance.
15. Inside of apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and objects filled with liquids.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not remove the cover (or back). There are no
user-serviceable parts inside, refer servicing to
qualified service personnel.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN !

1. Digital Input (D1 + Ground):
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 (Ground + 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. (See pages 35, 36 for I/O settings)
3. Audio Output ( Ground)
An audio output that can be fed into an amplifier
4. Audio Input (Mic In + Ground)
A microphone input that can be used with a standard line level microphone, such as the 5104-Mic.
5. Video Out (Video Out + Ground)
Composite video output, used to adjust the camera. Note: if you do not have network connected, this output will
automatically shut off within 24 hours.

PoE (Power Over Ethernet)
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. A 802.3af, 15.4W PoE Switch is recommended with 6565.
If using a PoE switch that does not meet this specification, full functionality may not be supported.

Camera Mounting
Before you close the dome cover, verify the black rubber gasket is stuck to the inside of the cover completely. If the
gasket is uneven, the camera may not be fully waterproof. Tighten all 4 screws on the dome cover to ensure that
there is no gap between the lid and base of the camera.
Apply a thin coat of silicon around the gap once the camera is assembled to increase water resistance.
Mount the bottom of the camera housing on a smooth, flat surface. When you mount the camera on a ceiling or
wall, use the screws with the rubber o-rings. Without the o-ring, water may get into the camera.

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. This is located on your disk under the folder “Megapixel Camera
Network Search Application”
3. If Windows prompts you to unblock IP Installer, you must select “unblock”
There are 3 kinds 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.
Assigning an IP Address
7

1. Click the start icon on your computer
2. Click the ‘Run’ icon on your computer.
3. Type in ‘cmd’ and press enter on your keyboard, or press ok.
4. Type in ‘ipconfig /all’ into the DOS prompt that appears. Press enter.
5. Write down your computer’s IP address.
It is important that we do not use the same IP address for our 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 networkable device in your network has an IP address assigned. You need to be sure the IP you
choose for your IP camera is not the same as any other device on your network.
Assigning an IP Address /cont
8

Assigning an IP Address /cont
6. 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)
9

Assigning an IP Address /cont
To change numbers, select the appropriate area on IP installer
with your mouse, and type in the info.
Name
Fourth number (different than computer)
Select “Static”
Subnet Mask (same as computer)
Default Gateway (same as computer)
DNS Server 1 (same as computer)
DNS Server 2 (same as computer)
Port (A port between 8000-8999 is
recommended, but any network
port can be used)
First 3 numbers are
same as computer
7. Enter the information you wrote down from step 6 on page 9 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. A 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 So, 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. I have used 192.168.1.208 for my IP Camera.
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
been designated for your security system, that can also be used, even if the number is not within the
range of 5400-9000.
