1 Introduction
The Cruiser SN693V network camera is an outdoor camera dome that includes 1080p high
resolution camera lens combination that provides video transmission over a network. It is fully
featured for security surveillance and remote monitoring needs.
The camera provides quad-streaming video and supports H.265/H.264 compression technology,
drastically reducing file sizes and conserving valuable network bandwidth; M-JPEG compression is
also supported. By using its dedicated program, multiple users are able to have access to the
network camera simultaneously, or a single user can monitor various network cameras at the same
time. It also enable users to play, store and retrieve a monitoring image by using a PC. All the settings
and real time monitoring screens are provided through access to the web.

1.2 Key Features
• Brilliant video quality
The network camera offers the highly efficient H.264/H.265 video compression, which drastically
reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. Motion JPEG
is also supported for increased flexibility.
• Quad Streams
The network camera can deliver quad video streams simultaneously using H.264/H.265 and
Motion JPEG. This means that several video streams can be configured with different
compression formats, resolutions and frame rates for different needs.
• Intelligent video capabilities
The network camera includes intelligent capabilities such as enhanced video motion detection.
The network camera’s external inputs and outputs can be connected to devices such as sensors
and relays, enabling the system to react to alarms and activate lights or open/close doors.
• Improved Security
The network camera logs all user access, and lists currently connected users. Also, its full frame
rate video can be provided over HTTPS.
• PoE (Power over Ethernet)
This network camera can be powered through PoE, which simplifies installation since only one
cable is needed for carrying power, as well as video controls.
• ONVIF Certificate
This is a global interface standard that makes it easier for end users, integrators, consultants,
and manufacturers to take advantage of the possibilities offered by network video technology.
ONVIF enables interoperability between different vendor products, increased flexibility, reduced
cost, and future-proof systems.
• Micro-SD Recording support
The network camera also supports a Micro-SD memory slot for local recording with removable
storage of type SDHC and SDXC.
• Audio support
The network camera also supports two-way audio.

2 Installation
2.1 Mounting the Dome Camera
The dome camera is for use in surface or pendant mounting applications, and the mounting surface
must be capable of supporting loads of up to 6.2 lb (2.8 kg). (Pendent mounting must use pendant
mount accessory.)
The dome camera’s mounting bracket should be attached to a structural object, such as hard wood,
wall stud or ceiling rafter, that supports the weight of the dome camera.
CAUTION: A silicone rubber sealant must be applied to seal the housing to secure
waterproofing.
CAUTION: Please reset the camera after 30 minutes when installing it in environments colder than
14° F (-10°C).
2.1.1 Locking the Dome Camera
1. Mark and drill screw holes on the ceiling using the supplied mounting Template Sheet
(Figure A).
2. Fix the dome camera Mounting Bracket to the ceiling using supplied Anchors (4x) and Mounting
Screws (4x) (Figure B).
3. Attach the Safety Lanyard to the Safety Lanyard Hook of the Mounting Bracket (Figure C).
4. Align the locking tab on the bracket and the locking slot on the base of the dome (Figure D).
5. Turn the dome counterclockwise about 10 degree to the locked position (Figure E).

5
CAUTION: Before installing the mounting bracket to the surface, pre-adjust the four mounting “A”
screws on the base of the dome camera to best match the mounting bracket locked
position. Unscrew the locking screw on the side of the dome’s base and fit the tab of
the mounting bracket into the locking slot. “A” screws should not be too tight or too
loose when the dome is in the locked position. After setting the proper positions of “A”
screws, remove the mounting bracket and install it to the mounting surface. If it is too
difficult to lock the dome in position after the mounting bracket has been installed,
readjust the “A” screws by unscrewing them slightly and try to install dome camera
again.

electrical switches can be wired to the A1, A2, A3, A4 (Alarm Input 1, 2, 3, 4) and G (Ground)
connectors.
– G (Ground)
NOTE: All the connectors marked G or GND are common.
Connect the ground side of the alarm input and/or alarm output to the G (Ground) connector.
– AO (Alarm Output)
The camera can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights. Connect the device to
the AO (Alarm Output) and G (Ground) connectors.
• Connecting Audio
Connect speaker to audio output line and external microphone to audio input line.
• Connecting the Power
Connect power of 12 VDC for the camera.
Connect the positive (+) pole to the ‘+’ position and the negative (-) pole to the ‘-’ position.
– Be careful not to reverse the polarity when you connect the power cable.
– You can also use a router featuring PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) to supply power to the
camera.

2.4.1 Network Connection & IP Assignment
The network camera is designed for use on an Ethernet network and requires an IP address for
access. Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to
connected devices. By factory default, your camera is set to obtain the IP address automatically via
DHCP server. If your network does not have a DHCP server the network camera will use
192.168.1.100 as the default IP address.
If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run the SmartManager utility, which can
be found on Vicon’s website, to search and allocate an IP address, or reset the product to the factory
default settings and then perform the installation again.
1) Connect the network camera/device to the network and power up.
2) Start SmartManager utility (Start > All programs > SmartManager > SmartManager).
The main window will display and after a short while any network devices connected to the
network will be displayed in the list.
3) Select the camera on the list and click right button of the mouse. The pop-up menu below displays.
4) Select Assign IP Address. The Assign IP window will display. Enter the required IP address.
NOTE: For more information, refer to the SmartManager User Manual.
