About IP Cameras
An IP camera usually combines a high definition CCTV type
camera sensor with additional encoding circuitry and software to
convert the signal from and communications to the camera into
a digital format that can be accessed via the internet or an
ethernet based network.
The circuitry within the camera literally hosts itʼs own website.
IP cameras are simply CCTV cameras with integrated video web
servers. Therefore when you use your internet browser or
camera software to view your camera, you are merely
downloading a website hosted on the camera with live video.
Because the video signal between the sensor and encoder
remains digital, and doesnʼt have to be converted to an
analogue signal, higher resolutions can be achieved than
standard analogue cameras.
IP cameras can usually be viewed by multiple clients across a
network, which simplifies cabling reducing costs, whilst
maintaining the integrity of the video signal.
Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a method of sending power to a
network device (such as the IRIS740) along the network cable,
this eliminating the need for separate power cables and
connections.
The power is introduced to the network cable via a PoE Injector.
This can be a single or multichannel device that acts like a
network hub whilst also ʻinjectingʼthe power onto the twisted
pair cable.
Traditional PoE devices operate at 48VDC which means on
board, an AC mains transformer is required to power the
injector. This is an issue if the boat only has DC power which is
often the case. AC powered units are unfavourable also
because they do not conform to marine standards for electrical
emissions and interference.
Iris produce a range of marine certified, DC voltage PoE
injectors which operate between 8~36VDC and are EN60945
and EN55022 compliant.
The most common classification for PoE devices is
IEEE802.3af-2003. This provides up to 15.4W of power but the
consumption is limited to 350mA so may not be powerful enough
to drive a PTZ device.
Recently, IEEE802.3at has become the standard. This can
handle up to 25.5W and is sometimes referred to as PoE+.

Installation: IRIS740
WARNING:
Installation of the IRIS740 necessitates a hole being cut into the structure of the vessel. Although guidelines are
provided below, the responsibility to ensure the camera is installed correctly and is sealed sufficiently to prevent
water ingress belongs to the installer, who must be suitably competent. Iris Innovations Limited and Iris
Innovations USA Corporation accept no liability whatsoever for issues that may arise as the result of improper or
sub stand installation that results in damage caused directly or indirectly as a result of leakage.
IMPORTANT:
Always ensure that the vessel’s power source and battery are disconnected prior to installation
Ensure a suitable fuse or circuit breaker are used. Iris recommend a 3A fuse.
Prior to installation, ensure there is sufficient space within the vessel to accommodate the camera,
taking into consideration room to tighten the cameras lock nut and facilitate access to connect and
disconnect the cable.
Although the camera housing and rear connector are waterproof, the PoE injector may not be. Ensure
this is installed well away from any moisture or direct heat sources.
ALWAYS POWER UP PRIOR TO DRILLING ANY HOLES TO ENSURE YO UARE INSTALLING THE
CAMERA IN A POSITION THAT WILL DELIVER THE DESIRED FIELD OF VIEW!
Procedure:
1)!Locate the camera as desired, taking into consideration internal or external obstacles that may affect
!the performance of the camera or inhibit the installation.
2)!The camera should be positioned on a flat surface. Ensure the external surface of the hull (or
!transom) are even and parallel. It may be necessary to sand or grind the surface.
3)"Once the installation area is prepared, drill a 90mm (3.54”) hole using a suitable pilot hole and hole "saw.
4)!Ensure the inner hull surface is sealed to prevent water intrusion into the hull before the camera is
!secured in place.
5)!Ensure that the hull surface is free from dirt, grease and debris. Remove anti-foul from the hull
!surface where the camera bezel will sit.
6)!Use a suitable marine adhesive sealant (3M 4200 for example) to apply a liberal bead of sealant
!around the entire circumference of the back side of the bronze bezel. A channel is machined into the
!back of the bezel - ensure this is completely filled with sealant.
7)"Apply a bead of sealant around the edge of the 90mm (3.54”) hole.
8)"Carefully slide the camera into the hole, ensure the orientation of the camera is as required. The
"camera is shipped with a removable stick-on arrow to indicate the ‘top’ of the cameras field of view.
9)!From inside the vessel, slide the rubber spacer rings over the camera shaft as required to ensure the
!lock nut will provide a suitably tight fixing. Two rings are supplied.
10)!Screw the lock nut in place and hand tighten. Do not lock fully in place at this stage.
11)!Connect the waterproof RJ45 plug into the back of the camera. Details on connecting to the network
!via a PoE injector are listed above.

Procedure (Continued…):
12)!Ensure the camera orientation is as desired. Make any changes to the cameras orientation now
!before the sealant cures and the lock nut is fully tightened.
13)!Disconnect the cable from the camera.
14)!Follow the sealant manufacturers instructions on curing time before fully tightening the camera lock
!nut.
15)!From inside the vessel, apply another bead of sealant fully around the circumference of the camera
!shaft.
16)!Allow the sealant to fully cure before putting the boat back into the water.
17)!Connect the waterproof CAT5 cable to the camera connector, ensuring the connector sits true in the
!receptacle and the connector lock-nut is fully tightened without cross threading.
18)!Now connect the cable to your network and follow the setup instructions below.
DO NOT LAUNCH THE VESSEL UNLESS THE SEALANT IS FULLY CURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
SEALANT MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS AND YOU ARE SATISFIED THERE ARE NO LEAKS.
Setup
1. Connect the camera to a powered Ethernet source so that the unit is connected directly or indirectly to a
DHCP server.
2. The camera will adopt an I.P. address provided by the DHCP server, and will initially be displayed on the host
as a new attached device with name “-“ (Please refer to Router/DHCP server manual for relevant instructions
on performing this).
3. Once this is connected, new I.P and network details can be set via the Network setup page.
4. In the event of there being problems connecting the camera to your network, please contact your network
administrator or IP specialist quoting the cameras individual MAC address which can be found printed on the
carton label.
By default the camera is set to DHCP. Once connected directly or via your network to a DHCP router or server,
the camera should automatically assume the address it has been assigned.
A software discovery tool is provided with the camera to assist camera discovery and assigning addresses if
necessary. The tool is an executable program which can be copied onto your computer and run directly. Once
opened, the discovery tool can be set to SCAN the network for any connected IRIS404 or 740 cameras. It does
this by broadcasting specific information across the network which only an Iris camera will respond to. In doing
so, the camera will return it’s current IP address. The tool can be used to assign a new address if required.
Details on the SADP Tool are listed below.

Configuring the Camera over the
LAN
WARNING: Stay Secure!
When connecting any device to a network with access
over the internet brings risks to the security of your
network and your data. Your IRIS740 features built in User
Name and Password authentication but it is also your
responsibility to strengthen your network security where
ever possible. Please contact your IT expert for further
advise. Iris cannot provide support with any aspect of your
network security, other than the cameras built in security
settings.
Basic Setup: Single Camera / Computer
The diagram below shows a very basic setup, with a single
camera being viewed on a PC (or laptop).
Use a standard 568B ethernet CAT5 cable to hook your
computer up to the PoE injector, and then another 568B
cable to hook the camera up to the injector.
With this type of installation, you must ensure the IP
address of the camera is in the same range as the network
adapter in your computer used to communicate with the
camera. Consult documentation for your computer for
information on how to view (and edit) your network adapter
IP address.
The camera is set as default to DHCP, which means it has
no IP address set, and awaits for a router on your network
to assign the address.
To find your camera on the network, use an IP camera
discovery tool, or an ONVIF Device Manager.
A great Onvif Device Manager can be found here:https://
sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/
Once you’ve downloaded and installed the Device
Manager software, open the program and then click the
REFRESH button at the bottom of the device list on the left
hand side. If everything is hooked up correctly, the details
of your camera, including its IP address, will be displayed
in the list.
If the cameras IP address falls outside the range of the IP
address of your computers network adapter, you’ll have to
change the address on your adapter so it corresponds
with the address of the camera. Once this is done (and
you’ll usually need to reboot your computer) you should
simply be able to open your web browser, type the IP
address of the camera into the address bar and access the
camera. From here, if required, you can change the IP
address of the camera as desired - back to the original
address range of your computer for example. If you do
this, then you will also have to change the address of your
network adapter back to its previous range.
Basic Setup: Single Camera / Computer via Router
using DHCP (default)
The diagram below shows a simple one camera / one
computer device, but this time a router is used to manage
your network devices and address allocation.
As mentioned previously, the camera as default is set to
obtain its IP address automatically via DHCP. This means
that once connected, your router will detect the device and
assign it an IP address within its designated range (refer to
the documentation for your router for further details). You
must also ensure the network adapter for your computer is
set to obtain its address via DHCP.

Operation
IP Addressing & DHCP (Dynamic Host Control
Protocol).
Devices on your network require their own, unique IP
address. Your camera is factory set as DHCP (Dynamic
Host Control Protocol).
DHCP Addressing
DHCP allows devices on the network to receive their IP
address automatically from a server (or a device on the
network that acts as a server - such as a Raymarine MFD).
Nowadays, pretty much all routers have a DHCP server
feature, which usually just needs enabling and configuring.
Care should be taken on larger networks to ensure there
are no conflicts if multiple routers or devices are configured
as DHCP servers. Please refer to your IT specialist for
further details if you are unsure.
Raymarine MFD’s
For Raymarine MFD’s, including Axiom models, running
Lighthouse 2 or higher, all you need to do is connect the
camera to your Raymarine network and wait! Your
Raymarine device will take a few minutes to assign the
camera address at first, but once assigned, your camera
should appear within a short while after the MFD boots up
and initializes.
NOTE: The first time you hook your camera up to the
Raymarine it may take some time for the MFD to discover
the camera. This is normal.
Static (or Fixed) IP Addressing
If you are not using a DHCP server, you will need to log
onto the camera and assign an address to fit in with your
network address range. This sounds obvious, and like it
should be a basic step, but can actually be a major
challenge, as you can only log into the camera if its
address is in the same range as your network. If you do
not have experience in this field we recommend you
consult your IT specialist, as making undesirable changes
to your settings could result in major network problems.
For further details, please contact your Iris dealer.
Discovering your Camera
To discover your camera on your network you can check
your router for attached devices (if using DHCP) or use a
software discovery tool, or an ONVIF device manager.
A great Onvif Device Manager can be downloaded from
here:https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/
Remember, you’ll only be able to find a device on your
network if it’s in the same IP address range. If you are
unsure how to do this, consult your IT specialist.
Once you have found, or set your cameras address, you
can log on to set up and view your camera.
Logging Into your Camera
From your browser, type in your cameras IP address. The
login page from the camera will be loaded up (see above).
The default log in details are as follows:
USER NAME: admin
PASSWORD:
No password is set as default.
Once you’ve entered the correct user-name and password
the main window will be displayed. You can change the
default user name and password from the cameras Set Up
window.
