The information in this manual provides quick installation and setup procedures for the Roughneck®
V920D 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 V920D 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 V920D 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 V920D features an autoiris 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.

•Loosen the four (4) Torx screws securing the cover; allow the cover to hang.
•Mark the location of the four (4) mounting holes using the drilling guide.
•Two (2) cable access holes are provided, one on the side and one on the rear. Drill a hole and
route cables to the selected location and through one of the cable access holes.
•If using the rear cable access hole, insert the vent plug provided in the side cable access hole.
If the side cable access hole is used, insert a Street Tee into the cable access hole. Refer to
Notes below. Route the conduit through the top hole and insert the vent plug provided into
the bottom hole. Refer to Figure below for installation options. Sealant tape is provided for the
plug and Street Tee. Insert the black plug provided into the rear cable access hole if the side
access hole is being used; if the rear cable access hole is being used, insert the provided plug
into the side cable access hole and tighten with tool provided.
Note: Failure to thoroughly coat threads will result in moisture entering the housing and eventual
failure of the unit.

2.2 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.
9

V920D Series Quick Installation Guide
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/device to the network and power up.
2. Start SmartManager utility (All Programs>SmartManager>SmartManager), the main window will
be displayed, 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 displays as
below.
4. Select Assign IP. The Assign IP window displays.
Note: For more information, refer to the Smart Manger User’s
Manual.

3. Operation
The network camera can be used with Windows operating system and browsers. The recommended
browsers are Internet Explorer®, Safari®, Firefox®, Opera® and Google® Chrome® with Windows.
Note: Some screens may appear different (i.e., color scheme) depending on the firmware version, but
the functionality is the same or similar.
3.1 Access from a browser

2. Enter the IP address or host name of the network camera (the camera name as it appears in the
ViconNet site list) in the Location/Address field of your browser.
3. A starting page displays. Click Live View or Setup to enter web page.
4. Click Live View for the network camera’s Live View page to appear in the browser.
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 “3.5.5 System>Network>NAT” of User’s Manual.
