2.0 Audio/Trigger Pin Out
3.0 Getting Started
1. Plug the 7510HD camera into the network.
2. Power the camera using either Power-over-Ethernet or direct power.
Power-over-Ethernet: Input from an IEEE802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) power injector or switch as
show in Figure 1.
Direct Power: Connect either a 12-24VDC or 24VAC power source to the camera. Wire polarity is not im-
portant, therefore + or - connections can be connected to either terminal as shown in Figure 2.

NOTE: Using a power source with specications other than those dened will damage the camera, and will
void the product warranty.
3. The 7510HD Series camera position, eld-of-view and focus adjustment can be performed using an ana-
log monitor with the optional 7411550-004 BNC video cable adapter (Figure 3) or by using a browser to
view the camera image.

4.0 PC Conguration of 7510HD Cameras
Installation and testing of the Camera can be performed with the built-in 7510 Series web interface applica-
tion.
4.1 System Requirements
In order to test the Camera you need the following items:
• laptop or desktop computer (for recommended computer requirements see section 4.2 of this
chapter)
• 100/1000BASE-T network card installed in your computer
• Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 8 if the web browser is used or higher
• 100/1000BASE-T network switch
• Ethernet CAT5e cable
4.2 Recommended Computer Requirements
The following are recommended requirements to run and operate a Camera:
• CPU: Intel i7-860S 2.53 GHz or better
• Operating system: Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3), 64 Bit or Windows 7 Pro, 64 Bit
• Memory: 4GB DDR3@1066MHz or better
• Hard Drive: 7200 rpm - minimum speed with sufcient free space
• Video card: NVIDIA® GeForce® 9800 GTX+ with 512 MB RAM or better, or high-end ATI Rad-
eon™ HD series
4.3 Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The 7510HD Camera is compliant with IEEE 802.3af standard. Power to the Camera is supplied through the
network. Two types of PoE implementations are specied by the standard:
• Endspan PoE - power is applied directly by the switch to the Camera. This method requires the
deployment of a PoE-enabled switch.
• Midspan PoE - power is supplied by an injector placed between an existing non-PoE switch and
the Camera.
PoE injector can be ordered from CohuHD. Please refer to the CohuHD web page in the 7510HD Series
specications section for ordering information. The PoE injector selected for use with 7510HD should meet
the following requirement::
• be compatible with IEEE 802.3af standard
Figures 1 and 2 show interconnection diagrams for 7510HD:
• Figure 4 shows a setup of the Camera with PoE-enabled switch.
• Figure 5 shows a typical set up interconnection diagram for the Camera using the PoE injector with
non-PoE switch.
These diagrams give some idea of a typical installation. Each installation site will have its own unique re-
quirements.

4.4 Accessing the Camera
NOTE: The default user name for 7500Series is “Admin” and the default password is “Camera”.
The 7500 cameras are congured for DHCP and will have an IP address assigned if a DHCP server is on
the network. Use the CohuONVIFDiscovery software to nd the camera IP address.
4.4.1 Conguring cameras on networks with DHCP
In networks with a DHCP server, the IP camera will acquire dynamic (changeable) network settings when it
is initially powered on.
These dynamic settings can easily be converted to static settings, or changed to other static settings that are
also compatible with your network.
To congure the network settings of the camera follow the next steps:
• Connect the camera to the LAN, power on the camera.
• Camera automatically will be assigned the DHCP address.
• Discover the camera address using the CohuONVIFDiscovery software. See section 4.4.3.
• Change the PC address to match the camera IP network address. See Section 4.4.5.
• Change the camera assigned address to the desired static Address. See section 4.4.4.
4.4.2 Conguring cameras on networks without DHCP
Cameras installed on a network without a DHCP server will default to the Automatic Private IP Addressing
(APIPA), which is a failover mechanism of Microsoft Windows networks.
The IP address range is 169.254.0.1 through 169.254.255.254 with a default class B subnet mask of
255.255.0.0.
To congure the network settings of the camera follow the next steps:
• Connect the camera to the LAN, power on the camera.
• Camera automatically will be assigned the APIPA address.
• Discover the camera address using the CohuONVIFDiscovery software. See section 4.4.3.
• Access the camera using APIPA address.
• Change the camera assigned address to the desired static Address. See section 4.4.4.

4.4.3 Using the CohuONVIFDiscovery Software to Discover the Camera
• Insert the CohuHD 7500 Series CD into the CD drive of the PC or download the software from the
link: http://www.CohuHD.com/content/downloads. Under Software & Protocol Downloads see the
Helios and 7500 Camera Series discovery tool. Click “download here.”
• Run the CohuONVIFDiscovery.exe le. Click to start it.
• The CohuONVIFDiscovery window will be displayed.
NOTE: Auto discovery feature uses network multicast packets and may not work through network rout-
ers.
• Click on the “Start Discovery” button. A list of Cameras will be automatically displayed.
NOTE: Use the MAC Address or Model Index to identify CohuHD cameras. “00-09-f2” and 00-50-1a iden-
tiy cameras as CohuHD cameras.
• Right click a camera entry. Click Copy IP to Clipboard.
12 6X-1101C

4.4.4 Change the camera IP network address
• Open a browser (IE recommended) and enter the IP address of the 7510HD camera in the address
eld of the browser. The “Live” page will be displayed.
• If prompted, install the ActiveX control.
• Click the network tab. Choose Disabled line from the DHCP pull-down menu. Type IP addres, sub-
net mask and gateway.
NOTE: Changing between a static IP address and DHCP will cause the camera to reboot.
• To perform further conguration of the camera click on the “Setup” tab
NOTE: The default user name is “Admin” and the default password is “Camera”

• Set the iris on the lens to the ‘Open’ position then lock it down with the iris set screw.
• If the back focus has been set before using the camera, click the “restore defaults” button on the
Focus tab to reset the back focus adjustment.
• Use the Varifocal adjustment on the lens to set the eld-of-view, then lock the Varifocal adjust-
ment set screw.
• Focus the lens using adjustment on the lens, then lock the focus adjustment set screw.
NOTE: The focus adjustment should be close to ensure the one-touch focus adjustment can be completed.
The following image is an example of an image not focused enough to ensure a remote one-touch focus
can be completed.
