The information in this manual provides quick installation and setup procedures for the Roughneck® Series of
Camera Domes. These units should only be installed by a qualified technician using approved materials in
conformance with federal, state, and local codes. Read these instructions thoroughly before beginning an
installation. Always refer to Vicon’s website to assure you have the most up-to-date manual, www.vicon-
security.com.
The Roughneck® Series of HD IP Camera Domes is designed for demanding security installations. It offers a
number of fixed network camera versions that deliver crisp clear images to fit any installation need; models
with IR illuminators are available. The Roughneck® cameras are fully compatible with all ViconNet® systems;
its ONVIF certification provides an open-platform for integration into other video management systems.
The housing is designed for easy installation. PoE eliminates the need for power cables, providing a cost-
effective method of installation. The Roughneck® features an auto iris lens that adapts to changing outdoor
lighting; the true day/night camera includes a removable IR cut filter. The camera dome is IP66 rated with a
vandal-proof casing that withstands rain, dust and vandalism. It provides 3-axis adjustment. The alarm input
and alarm output can be used to connect various third party devices, such as door sensors and alarm bells.

•Connecting to the RJ-45
Connect a standard RJ-45 cable to the network port of the network camera. Generally
a cross-over cable is used for directly connection to PC, while a direct cable is used for
connection to a hub. You can also use a router featuring PoE (Power over Ethernet) to
supply power to the camera.
•Connecting Alarms
IN#1, IN#2 (Alarm In): You can use external devices to signal the network camera
to react on events. Mechanical or electrical switches can be wired to the IN#1, IN#2
(Alarm In) and GND (Ground) connectors.
GND (Ground): Connect the ground side of the alarm input and/or alarm
output to the GND (Ground) connector.
OUT (Alarm Out): The network camera can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights.
Connect the device to the OUT (Alarm Out) and GND (Ground) connectors.
Connecting Audio
Use the optional V920D-AUDIO cable assembly for ease of audio connections. The cables are labeled for Audio In
and Audio Out. Refer to diagram below.
Audio Out: Connect wire 1 and ground to speakers.
Audio In: Connect wire 2 and ground to microphone.
•Connecting the Power
Connect the power of 12VDC for the network camera. Connect the positive (+) pole
to the + position and the negative (-) pole to the - position for the DC power.
Be careful not to reverse the polarity when connecting the power cable.
A router featuring PoE (Power over Ethernet) can also be used to supply power to the camera.
The heater can be powered by a 12VDC, PoE power source.
For the power specifications, refer to the Appendix, Product Specification.
If PoE and 12 VDC are both applied, the camera will be supplied with power from PoE.

2.3 Network Connection and 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 the
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 “Smart Manager” utility on the CD to search
and allocate an IP address to your products, or reset the product to the factory default settings and then
perform the installation again.
1. Connect the network camera to the network and power up.
2. Start SmartManager utility (Start>All Programs>SmartManager>SmartManager); the main window
displays. 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. The Assign IP window displays. Enter the required IP address.
Note: For more information, refer to the Smart
Manger User’s Manual.

3.2. Access from the Internet
Once connected, the network camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the network camera
from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the network
camera. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically configure the router
to allow access to the network camera. This is enabled from Setup > System > Network > NAT.
For more information, refer to section “3.5.6 System>Network>NAT” of the user manual.
3.3 Setting the Admin Password Over a Secure Connection
To gain access to the camera, the password for

for setup the first time. Enter your admin name
and password, set by the administrator.
Note: The default administrator username is
“ADMIN” and password is “1234”. If the
password is lost, the network camera must be
reset to the factory default settings. See section
