1. Overview
The V9360-6 and V9360-12 Series Panoramic IP Cameras are a high resolution
surveillance solution that features 360° wide coverage without blind spots. The
panoramic camera supports resolution up to 12 megapixels streaming at 20 fps,
which allows the videos to be viewed smoothly. Moreover, the panoramic camera
supports digital PTZ, panoramic view and several display modes to fulfill users’
needs. With the compact and concise design, the V9360 series is suitable for
many kinds of environments, such as office rooms, hotels, vehicles, etc.
Additionally, the embedded edge dewarping engine enables the panoramic
camera to dewarp images by the camera rather than the backend system.
Therefore, the edge dewarping technique reduces the burden of the backend
system and also enhances the flexibility of usage. Featuring IR LED module and
Smart Picture Quality/Noise Reduction improves the image quality in low light
environments.
Refer to Vicon’s website, www.vicon-security.com, to assure you are using the most
current documentation and software for the Camera

2. Camera Cabling
Follow the instructions below to complete the cable connections.
2.1 Power Connection
For power connection, refer to section Connectors (Indoor Only) for the indoor
models, and see section All in One Cable (Outdoor Only) for the outdoor models.
Alternatively, users can power the camera by PoE if a Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE) switch is available. Refer to the section below for Ethernet
cable connection.
NOTE: If PoE is used, make sure PSE is in use in the network.
2.2 Ethernet Cable Connection
To have the best transmission quality, cable length should not exceed
100 meters. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector of
the camera and plug the other end of the cable to the network switch or PC.
NOTE: In some cases, Ethernet crossover cable might be needed when
connecting the camera directly to the PC.
Check the status of the link indicator and the activity indicator LEDs. If the LEDs
are unlit, please check the LAN connection.
Green Link Light indicates good network connection.
Orange Activity Light flashes for network activity indication.
2.3 Connect Alarm I/O
The camera supports one alarm input and one relay output for alarm application.
Refer to Connectors section for pin definitions.
NOTE: Do NOT connect external power supply to the alarm I/O
connector of the IP camera.

2.4 Waterproof Cable Connector (Outdoor Only)
Follow the instructions below to waterproof the connectors of the different types
of cables. The supported cables are as shown below.
All-in-One Cable
IP66 RJ-45 Cable
All-in-One Cable
Follow the steps below to waterproof the connectors of the All-in-One cable.
Step 1:
Connect the required devices to the All-in-
One cable and coat the joints with silicone gel.
There should be no gap between the
connectors and the cables. For the alarm I/O
connector and the power connector, make
sure the side with wires attached is also
sealed with silicone gel.
In addition, attach the ground cable to the
ground and wrap the wires with silicone gel.
Make sure the wires are not exposed to the
air.
Step 2:
Seal the end of the rubber coating of the All-
in-One cable as indicated in the figure on the
right. Be sure to use enough silicone gel to fill
in the hose and wrap around each wire;
otherwise, waterproof function cannot be
guaranteed.

10
IP66 RJ-45 Cable
For IP66 RJ-45 cable, use an RJ-45 IP66 plug for connection to prevent water
damage. Follow the steps below for cable connection.
Step 1:
Take out the supplied connector from the RJ-
45 IP66 plug. Loosen the thread-lock sealing
nut on the plug. Then thread the Ethernet
cable through the thread-lock sealing nut and
the plug. If the Ethernet cable is already
attached to a connector, be sure to remove it
first.
Step 2:
Carefully remove a section of rubber coating
from the end of the Ethernet cable to reveal
the wires. Inset the wires to the correct pins of
the connector. Plug the Ethernet cable to the
connector of the IP66 RJ-45 cable.
Step 3:
Fasten the RJ-45 IP66 plug to the connector
of the IP66 RJ-45 cable. Lastly, tighten the
thread-lock sealing nut to the plug.

2.5 Camera Installation
The following description demonstrates how to directly install the camera to the
ceiling or to the wall.
Step 1:
Loosen the two security screws on the
camera with the supplied security torx and
open the dome cover.
Step 2:
Place the camera at the installation
location. Mark the position of the two screw
holes, indicated in the figure to the right, on
the ceiling/wall. Then draw a line along the
concave edge of the camera to indicate the
cable position.
Step 3:
On the ceiling/wall, draw a dot 0.78 in.
(20mm) above the center of the marked
concave edge. Set the marked dot as the
center, draw a cable entry hole with 1.18 in.
(30mm) diameter [radius is 0.59 in.
(15mm)] and drill the cable entry hole.
Step 4:
Drill a hole slightly smaller than the supplied plastic screw anchor on each
marked screw hole. Then insert the plastic screw anchors into the drilled holes.

12
Step 5:
Thread the cables through the cable entry hole. Match the two screw holes on
the camera with the plastic screw anchors at the installation location. Fasten the
camera with the supplied self-tapping screws.
Step 6:
Attach the dome cover to the camera and fasten the two security screws.

4. Access Camera
For initial access to the IP camera, users can search for the camera using the
V9360-6/V9360-12 Discovery Tool (DeviceSearch.exe), which can be found on
Vicon’s website, www.vicon-security.com on the Software Downloads page.
Accessing the Camera by Device Search Software
Step 1: Download V9360-6/V9360-12 Discovery Tool (DeviceSearch.exe)
from the website. Double click on the program DeviceSearch.exe.
Step 2: After its window appears, click on the <Device Search> button on the
top. All the IP devices found will be listed in the page.
Step 3: Find the camera in the list by its IP address and click on it. By factory
default, the camera is set to obtain the IP address automatically via
DHCP server. If your network does not have a DHCP server, the
camera will use APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing; link-local
address).
Step 4: The default IP address of the camera may not be in the same LAN as
the IP address of the PC. If so, the IP address of the camera needs to
be changed. Right click on the camera and click <Network Setup>.
Meanwhile, record the MAC address of the camera, for future
identification.
Step 5: The <Network Setup> page will display. Select <DHCP> and click
<Apply> at the bottom of the page. The camera will be assigned a new
IP address.
Step 6: Click <OK> on the Note of setting change. Wait about one minute as it
re-searches for the camera.
Step 7: Click on the <Device Search> button to re-search all the devices. Find
the camera in the list by its MAC address. Then double click or right
click and select <Browse> to access the camera directly via a web
browser.

automatically installed to the PC when connecting to the camera.
If the web browser doesn’t allow DCViewer installation, check the Internet
security settings or ActiveX controls and plug-ins settings (refer to section Setup
Internet Security) to continue the process.
The Information Bar (just below the URLbar) may pop up and ask for permission
to install the ActiveX Control for displaying video in browser. Right click on the
Information Bar and select <Install ActiveX Control…> to allow the installation.
The download procedure of DCViewer software is specified as follows.
