1. Description
The information in this manual provides quick installation and setup procedures for the V-CELL-HD-A of High-
Security Corner-Mounted Cameras. 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

The Roughneck® V-CELL-HD-A high-security camera is an integrated housing, camera, lens and IR illuminators
system specifically designed for use in custodial suites and prison cells. It is fully compatible with all Valerus®
and ViconNet® systems; its ONVIF certification provides an open-platform for integration into other video
management systems.
The housing is designed to fit into a corner; once installed, the base plate should be permanently sealed to the
wall so that the housing is ligature proof. The housing consists of a two part stainless steel assembly, a fixed
base plate and a removable front plate, that allows ease of installation and servicing. The front plate is secured
with security screws and has two polycarbonate windows to protect the camera and IR illuminators. The alarm
input and alarm output can be used to connect various third party devices, such as door sensors and alarm
bells.

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.
