2.2.4 Installing/Replacing the Camera Module with Stainless Steel Plate
If replacing the camera in an existing unit, follow the steps below; for new units, jump to step 3.
1. Loosen the 3 torx screws on the mounting frame, turning counterclockwise, using the torx wrench
supplied.
2. Pull the camera module downward to separate it from the mounting frame.
Figure 2-2: Removing the old camera module with stainless steel plate
3. Hold the new camera module up to the mounting frame.
4. Terminate the cables with connectors and terminal block and connect each cable to the corresponding
power port.
5. Align three holes on the mounting frame with the three holes on the stainless steel plate and use the torx
wrench to fasten the three T20 torx screws, turning clockwise, to securely attach the stainless steel plate
to the mounting frame. To maintain the IP66 rating, be sure to place a bead of silicone on the
camera module before securing the module.

To flip the camera module, the I/O interfaces will be seen in front of camera module.
Make the appropriate connections.
6. Based on your needs, connect the power cable to the power port via one of the following 2 options.
PoE (Class 3): Connect an Ethernet cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector to the PoE RJ-45
port for both power supply and network connectivity purposes.
24 VAC: Connect a power cable that supplies 24 VAC power source to the terminal block and then
insert the terminal block into the power port.
12 VDC: Connect a power cable that supplies 12 VDC power source to the terminal block and then
insert the terminal block into the power port.
Insert audio in/out cables and alarm in/out cables to the corresponding terminals of the camera if
required.
NOTE: The polarities should be matching when using 48 VDC power source.
NOTE:It is recommended to connect external microphones to ground (GND) on the digital I/O connector.
NOTE: It is recommended to use silicone or glue to prevent the water leakage.

3.3 Connecting Process
3.3.1 Accessing the Camera
The camera can be accessed directly from its web page or using Vicon’s PRONTO Device Manager, which
can be found on Vicon’s website. Note that when accessing the camera for the first time, a message will
display to reset the password.
Since this is a network-based camera, an IP address must be assigned. The camera’s default IP address is
obtained automatically through a DHCP server in your network; be sure to enable DHCP in "Network
Settings." If DHCP is not available, the camera will use APIPA (link-local address); IPv4 link-local addresses
are assigned from address block 169.254.0.0/16 (169.254.0.0 through 169.254.255.255).
3.3.2 Connecting from a Computer & Viewing Preparation
Connecting from a computer
1. Make sure the camera and your computer are in the same subnet.
2. Check whether the network available between the camera and the computer by executing a ping of the
default IP address. To do this, simply start a command prompt (Windows: from the “Start Menu”, select
“Program”. Then select “Accessories” and choose “Command Prompt”), and type “Ping” and then type
in your IP address. If the message “Reply from…” appears, it means the connection is available.
3. Start a browser e.g., Internet Explorer and enter IP address. A login window as shown below should pop
up. In the window, enter the default user name: ADMIN and created password which requires at least 8
characters including 1 uppercase letter, 1 special character, alphanumeric characters to log in.
4. Further administration on the unit can be found in “User Manual".
