electrical switches can be wired to the AI (Alarm In) and G
(Ground) connectors.
G (Ground): Connect the ground side of the alarm input and/or alarm output to the G
(Ground) connector.
AO (Alarm Out): The network camera can activate external devices such as buzzers
or lights. Connect the
device to the AO (Alarm Out) and G (Ground) connectors.
• 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.
– For the power specifications, refer to the appendix, product specification intheUsermanual.
– If PoE and 12 VDC are both applied, the camera will be supplied with power from PoE.

2.4 Network Connection & 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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.TheutilitycanbefoundontheViconwebsitewww.vicon‐security.com,onthe
SoftwareDownloadspageforViconcameras.
1) Connect the network camera/device 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.

3.2 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
11

to allow access to the network cam-
era. This is enabled from Setup > System > Network > NAT. For more
information, refer to section “System>Network>NAT” of the User manual.
3.3 Setting the admin password over a secure connection
To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user must be set. This is done in the
“Admin Password” dialog, which is displayed when the network camera
is accessed for the setup at the first
time. Enter your admin name and password, set by the
administrator.
NOTE: The default administrator user name and password is “ADMIN” and the password is “1234”. If the
password is
lost, the network camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See section “Resetting to
the factory default settings” for more details
To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the admin password, this can be done via
an encrypted
HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate (see NOTE be lo w) .
To set the password via a standard
HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog shown
below. To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS
connection, see section “System
> Security > HTTPS” of User Manual.
NOTE: HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt the
traffic between web
browsers and servers. The HTTPS certificate controls the encrypted
exchange of information.
