Connection
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).
Connecting from a Computer
Connecting from a Computer
Make sure the camera and your computer are in the same subnet.
Check whether the network available between the camera and the computer by executing ping 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
your IP address. If the message “Reply from…” appears, it means the connection is available.
Start a browser, e.g., Chrome, and enter IP address. A login window as shown below should pop up. In
the window, enter the default user name: ADMIN; it is required to change the password when you login
for the first time for added security, which requires at least 8 characters including 1 uppercase letter, 1
special character, alphanumeric characters to log in.
Further administration on the unit can be found in "Configuration."

Playback
The camera provides a method to play video stored on micro SD card.
Due to compatibility issues related to video and audio formats; when playing video stored on micro SD
Card, it is highly recommended to use Chrome or Safari browser along with H.264 codec, since these
browsers support H.264 format. Remember that both camera and browser must support same format;
therefore, it is possible to use any other browser along with H.265 codec, as long as both camera and
browser support H.265 format.
After clicking on the playback function on the upper left side next to Live View, the page displays.

After clicking “Configuration,” the screen will display as below, with several menu options on the left
side for users to configure. These will be explained one by one in the following chapters.
1. Encode
Figure: Encode Settings
Profile and Streams
Current Profile: 1/2/3
It is strongly recommended to define different settings under each stream to maintain better video
transmission for varied network environments and applications. By default, there are 3 profiles, and
each profile contains 3 streams for individual configuration. The detailed configurations for each stream
are described in detail below.
EIS: On/ Off
When EIS is turned on, if shaking of the camera is detected, the software can compensate by
adjusting the image from blurring, fine-tuning some functions, such as shutter time.
Stream
Compression
As an example, compression options for the 2 MP models are 1920x1080, 1280x960, 1280x720, 800x600,
640x480, 640x360, 320x240. Higher resolution values are model dependent and frame rates correspond
to the resolution, streams and codec selected.
Note

Refer to the datasheet for the camera model for details.
