INSTALLATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before Installation
Before installing the camera, thoroughly familiarise yourself with the information in this section of
the manual.
- It is recommended to connect the camera to a network that uses a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server to address devices.
- To ensure secure access to the IP camera, place the camera behind a firewall when it is
connected to a network.
NOTES
- Use megapixel lens for higher image quality.
- Megapixel lenses are designed and tested to deliver optimal image quality to the VK2-1080BXDN
megapixel cameras.
- If the standard definition lens was installed on megapixel camera, the image quality will be poor
than expected.
- Recommend Lenses - VDD31V812IRP-3MP (Direct drive iris)
VM31V812IRP-3MP (Manual iris)
Starting Installation
1. Install the Lens
- Ensure the lens does not touch camera CCD sensor.
- If DC auto iris lens is required, connect DC auto iris 4-pin connector into iris drive connector
located on the side of the camera.
2. Mount the camera
The camera can be mounted from both top and bottom.
3. Connect other peripheral devices
Connect the other peripheral devices such as Alarm, Audio and BNC connector.
4. Supply the camera with power.
- If PoE is not available, connect DC12V or AC24V wires to the camera power connector. Ensure
correct polarity when using DC12V. Use a Class2 power.
- This camera complies with IEEE802.3af standard. Hence the power for the camera can be
supplied via Ethernet cabling without additional power supply.
- The camera will complete a configuration process within approximately 40 seconds. The amber
LED flashes once per second after the configuration process is complete.
5. View the camera image
View the camera image using the BNC connector or built-in web browser or supplied Client software.
NOTE
This camera will autosense and work with either a straight Ethernet cable or crossover Ethernet
cable.

default IP 192.168.30.220 and try to get IP from DHCP server about every two seconds.
- Network and processor bandwidth limitations might cause the video stream to pause or appear
pixelated when an increased number of Web-interface users connect to the camera. Decrease the
images per second, resolution, compression, or bit rate settings of the Web-interface video
streams to compensate for network or processor limitations.
