4CAMERA SETUP
Initial setup of the camera is most easily performed via the web interface, using a direct connection from a PC to the RJ45
socket in the power supply module. The camera may also be configured over the installation network.
4.1 CONNECTING TO THE CAMERA
4.1.1 DIRECT CABLE CONNECTION
This method of connecting to the camera uses a default connection address, called the Link Local IP Address. This
connection is independent of any user configuration that has been done, and should always allow the installer to contact
a camera by direct connection, regardless of any previous changes made to the system.
The required Local Link IP Address can be determined from the device serial number or the MAC address of the camera
(which should both be noted on the camera paperwork or packaging). Alternatively, a 'discovery tool' is available to find
connection parameters for unknown or misconfigured devices.
Calculate the Local Link IP address as follows :-
IP = 169 . 254 . xxx . yyy
where
yyy = 1 + (serial number mod 128)
xxx = 1 + ((serial number divided by 128) mod 128)
e.g.
Serial Number = 123456
123456 / 128 = 964 remainder 64
so yyy = 65
964 / 128 = 7 remainder 68
so xxx = 69
Local Link IP Address = 169.254.69.65
NOTE: The Redvision IP Camera Discovery Tool can be used to calculate Local Link default addresses from a camera
MAC address or Serial Number. OTHER THIRD PARTY DOWNLOADS ARE AVAILABLE, SUCH AS ‘ANGRY IP’:
http://www.angryip.org/download
Connect the PC Wired LAN port directly to the RJ45 socket in the PSU, using a Cat5/5e patch lead. This can be either a
'direct' or 'crossover' type cable. Set the network configuration of the PC to the following values :-
IP Address : 169.254.1.254
Network Mask : 255.255.0.0
Gateway :169.254.1.254
(Broadcast)
WINS (pri) :Not Required
WINS (sec) : Not Required
DNS (pri) : Not Required
DNS (sec) :Not Required
Power up the camera, and wait at least 2 minutes before attempting to configure the camera.
4.1.2 LAN CONNECTION USING LOCAL NETWORK WITH DHCP SERVER.
A factory-fresh dome is preconfigured to attempt to obtain a suitable network address and configuration from a network
DHCP server.
Connect the RJ45 socket in the PSU to a network LAN port, using a Cat5/5e patch lead. This can be either a 'direct' or
'crossover' type cable. Camera initial configuration should be automatic.
The connection address of the camera may be found by interrogating the DHCP server (consult local IT support staff) or
by use of the Redvision IP Camera Discovery Tool run on a Windows based PC on the local network.
Power up the camera, and wait at least 2 minutes before attempting to configure the camera.

X-IP-SERIES USER MANUAL
11
4.1.3 LAN CONNECTION WITHOUT LOCAL DHCP SERVER
Due to the large number of variations possible in the network structure, it is difficult to predict if the camera will be
contactable using the Local Link IP address in a given network. The simplest solution in this case is to use the 'Direct
Cable Connection' method below to configure the camera for a fixed IP address in a useable range (consult local IT
support) before connecting the camera directly to the local network.
4.1.4 DIRECT CABLE CONNECTION WITH DHCP
If required, it is possible to operate a standalone DHCP server on a computer used for camera configuration, as an
alternative to using the Link Local addressing scheme. Various DHCP server software is available for different operating
systems. For Windows based PCs, one suitable free option is “DHCP Server for Windows” from
http://www.dhcpserver.de/ . No specific setup help can be offered here as each software will be different, but usually
setting a 'pool' range of only 1 address will mean any camera connected will be assigned the same address.
4.2 CAMERA CONFIGURATION VIA WEB INTERFACE
Note : Most javascript capable web browsers are supported for operation of the camera. Most testing is carried out
using Firefox.
To view video streams in the web browser, it may be necessary to install additional software. Consult 'Web Browser
Configuration' in the Appendix of this document.
Open a web browser on a connected PC or other web-enabled device, and in the address bar enter the IP address as
determined above:- e.g. http://192.168.2.1
After a short delay, the entry web page of the camera should appear.
Select 'Admin functions' > 'Networking configuration'.
(Administrator level login privileges will be required for access, the default admin account is Username 'admin',
password '9999')

X-IP-SERIES USER MANUAL
12
Enter the required network configuration information, or select 'Enable DHCP' as required. Note that once 'SAVE' is
clicked to store the required configuration, the network interface will be reset and the setting will be changed as
programmed. Change the network connection to the camera if required (i.e. if on a direct cable connection, but setting
the camera for a DHCP network, change the network cabling over and if necessary power cycle the camera)
The camera should now be contactable via the network as configured.
4.3 User Account Configuration

5CAMERA OPERATION
Initial setup of the camera is most easily performed via the web interface, using a direct connection from a PC to the RJ45
socket in the power supply module. The camera may also be configured over the installation network.
5.1 OPERATION VIA WEB INTERFACE
The web interface provides the default method for setting all the main camera operational values, as well as a basic
control system and video stream viewer. Using a javascript capable web browser, connect to the configured IP address
as for the initial configuration.
5.2 OPERATION VIA CGI COMMAND
The RVIP dome will accept control via the network in the form of Common Gateway Interface queries. This is
intended for use by third party devices to provide a dedicated interface channel. Consult Redvision CCTV for further
information and the proprietary software development kit.
5.3 OPERATION VIA ONVIF INTERFACE.
ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum – www.onvif.org) provides a standardised interface for interworking of
devices from different manufacturers.
The RVIP dome is intended to be compliant to ONVIF Profile S as a Network Video Transmitter, and should be
controllable by any ONVIF compliant client device.
The ONVIF interface is enabled and discoverable on the local network by default. Consult the documentation for the
client device for procedure for discovering and enabling NVT (Network Video Transmitter) hardware.

6.1.1.1.2 CONTROLS POPUP
Open a floating controls window for PTZ control of the camera.
6.2 PRESET POSITIONS
Speed limit controls the speed at which the camera moves to preset positions under user control. Movement during
tours and for alarms is configured separately.
6.2.1 EDIT PRESETS
Edit preset information for selected preset:
•Name – allows the user to give the preset positions a name or description.
•Daytime profile - allows the user to define which camera profile is active at this preset position when the camera is in “Daytime”
mode. This allows greater flexibility, for example if one preset is looking into an area of low light, the default profile may be
over-ridden at this position to enhance visibility.
•Night profile – allows the user to define which camera profile is active at this preset position when the camera is in “Night” mode.
•Set / Update – sets the selected preset at the current camera position.
•Delete – Deletes the preset information.
•Go to – Moves the camera to the selected preset position.
6.3 PATROL TOURS
6.3.1 RUN/STOP TOUR
This allows the user to select a tour & run it, or stop a currently running tour. Any user joystick / PTZ activity will cancel a
running tour. Restore action may (if configured) automatically resume a tour after a period of no user in put.
6.3.2 EDIT TOUR
To edit a tour, select the tour number from the sidebar – the tour settings will be populated in the page.
6.3.2.1 NAME
Allows the user to set a name or description for the patrol tour.
6.3.2.2 AUTO-POPULATE TOUR LIST
If the “Auto-populate list” option is selected, the tour list will be automatically populated with all currently set preset positions.
This is useful for quickly setting up a patrol tour.
If the “Clear list” option is selected, the tour list will be cleared (all positions set to “no preset”).
6.3.2.3 SPEED
Selects the speed at which the dome runs between tour positions.
6.3.2.4 DWELL
Sets the period of time (in seconds) the dome spends at each position before moving to the next.
6.3.2.5 ORDER
Controls the order in which the dome visits each entry on the tour list, options are:
•Forward - The dome runs through positions in order “1, 2, 3…” etc., looping back to the 1st entry on reaching the end of the list.
•Ping-Pong - The dome runs through positions in order “1, 2, 3…” etc. On reaching the end of the list it runs back through the
list in reverse order “…3, 2, 1, 2, 3…”
•Random - The dome randomises the order of the list before running through all positions. The dome is guaranteed to visit each
position exactly once per loop. The list order is re-randomised each time round.
6.3.2.6 TOUR LIST
Here you can manually modify the tour list, selecting a preset for each entry in the list. To remove an entry, simply select
“[No preset]” from the drop-down list for that entry. Preset positions which have not been set will be ignored.

direction of the camera.
6.5.1.3 INSTALLATION NOTES
Allows the installer to include any short note relating to the camera installation, such as exact location, cable
identification etc.
6.5.1.4 TIME & DATE SETTING
It is important that the camera time and date are correctly set. A camera reporting incorrect date and time information
may be rejected by a NVR or controller for security reasons.
Time and date may be automatically set from a network time server, called an NTP Server, either on the local network or
accessed via the internet if a connection is available. This process may be scheduled to run only at power-up, or
automatically once per day to ensure continued accuracy. The Server Address must be correctly set for this process to
succeed.
HINT: For security reasons, the preferred option would be to connect to a local timeserver on the network. Consult your
network manager for connection information. In the event that a local network timeserver is not available, then a public
timeserver on the internet may be used if the local network configuration allows it.
Likely addresses would be uk.pool.ntp.org for UK installed cameras or more generally pool.ntp.org, either of which will
return a connection to a randomly assigned time server located in, or close to, the installation country.
Setting time and date via an NTP server is the preferred option where possible. However, in cases where this is not possible, time
and date must be manually set up.on each camera. This may be done quickly set from the device running the web browser.
Note that it is important that the timezone settings of this device are set correctly, or the time setting in the camera will not be
correct. In particular, correct time zone setting will ensure proper handling of Daylight Saving Time for the local time. In the event
that the displayed browser time is not correct, then the time and date can be manually entered.
In the event of power failure, the RVIP camera will keep time for a short period, up to about 4 hours.

6.5.2 CAMERA PROFILES
This section selects which set of camera settings to use for the default 'day' and 'night' mode. See the 'Camera Profiles'
section for more information on the use of profiles.
Day Night switching may be performed manually, e.g. via the web interface or by the use of 'special' preset selection, or
according to the camera metered light level.
There are two 'slider' controls for setting the metered light level for switching into night mode, and into day mode.
If these values are set too close together, the camera may toggle back and forth between modes. If set too far apart,
then the camera may become locked into one mode or the other if the threshold value is never reached.
The current metered light level value is reported on screen to assist in setting suitable values.
An additional slider control 'Switching Delay' sets the time for which the light level must be maintained over the
threshold before switching is carried out. This prevents the camera mode from being changed by passing car
headlights, or looking into a dark corridor during a tour.
Capture Framerate sets the video timebase selection for the camera imager. The selection choice is between 30fps
(60fps in high speed capture modes), or 25fps (50fps in high speed capture modes). Generally speaking, 25/50 mode
will be preferably in European installations to eliminate flicker from mains powered lighting, and 30/60 mode in US
installations (where the mains frequency is 60Hz).
6.5.2.1 RESTORE/HOME POSITION
The camera may be set to automatically return to a preset position or commence a predefined tour, if there has been no
manual control input for a period of time.
6.5.2.2 CONTROL CONFIGURATION
The Joystick Speed Scaling control adjusts the overall speed range for pan and tilt operations, both from the web
interface and via ONVIF control systems. This is most useful for onvif clients which don't offer speed adjsutment for
their PTZ controls.
If 'Datum Check' is selected, the camera will automatically check the calibration of the pan and tilt position, and exercise
the motor mechanisms, once per day at a pre-determined time.
This option is useful for cameras where external disturbance is occasionally a problem, or where the camera operates
largely on automatic tour over only a small movement range, to prevent uneven wear occurring in the long term.
PTZ Power Saving mode reduces the power supplied to the pan and tilt motors when the camera is not moving. This
reduces overall power consumption and helps to reduce the internal camera temperature to improve reliability.
In circumstances where external interference with the camera position is likely, then switching off the power saving
feature increases the camera resistance to movement when parked.
6.5.2.3 SHORTCUTS
Selecting a numbered preset as a shortcut activates the named function instead of moving to a defined position.
Shortcut preset settings are provided for the following functions:-
• Wash (Only available with the Alarm PSU option)
• Wiper (if fitted)
• Day / Night Mode Toggle
6.5.2.4 CAMERA PROFILE OVERRIDE
Preset memories can be selected to allow quick access to camera profiles 1-5. Each preset is a toggle action (selecting
once forces a profile switch, selecting a second time returns to normal operation mode).
In addition, a 'Cancel Profile' preset can be selected if required.
