1 Introduction
The VK2-PVM27/32CAM monitor has been designed specifically with self-scan till installation
applications in mind.
The monitor displays a logo until the in-built camera detects motion within it’s field of view, at which
point the logo is switched to the image form the camera.
An optional message can also be displayed over the top of the video image.

1.2 Key Features
• Brilliant video quality
The network camera offers the highly efficient H.265 or H.264 video compression, which
drastically reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality.
Motion JPEG is also supported for increased flexibility.
• Quad streams
The network camera can deliver four video streams simultaneously using H.264, H.265 and
Motion JPEG. This means that several video streams can be configured with different
compression formats, resolutions and frame rates for different needs.
• Intelligent video capabilities
The network camera includes intelligent capabilities such as enhanced video motion
detection. The network cameras external inputs and outputs can be connected to devices
such as sensors and relays, enabling the system to react to alarms and activate lights or
open/closedoors.
• Improved security
The network camera logs all user access, and lists currently connected users. Also, its full
frame rate video can be provided overHTTPS.
• PoE+ (Power over Ethernet)
This network camera can be powered through PoE+(IEEE802.3AT), which simplifies
installation since only one cable isneededforcarrying power, as well as video controls.
• ONVIF certificate
This is a global interface standard that makes it easier for end users, integrators, consultants,
and manufacturers to take advantage of the possibilities offered by network video technology.
ONVIF enables interoperability between different vendor products, increased flexibility,
reduced cost, and future-proofsystems.
• Micro-SD recording support
The network camera also supports a micro-SD memory slot for local recording with removable
storage of type SDHC and SDXC.
• Audio support
The Network Camera also supports two-wayaudio.

2 Installation
For the operation of the network camera, it is necessary to connect a network cable for data
transmission, power connection from a PoE+ source, alternatively a separate 24VDc power supply
can be used to power the monitor. In addition to power an external alarm cable can be connected,
or a Micro SD card can be inserted to give a local recording function.
2.1 Connections
1) A. Connecting the Power
Connect the power of 24 VDC for the PVM 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.
If PoE+ and 24 VDC are both applied, the camera will be supplied with power from
PoE+.
2) B. PoE+ (Ethernet)
Connect a standard RJ-45 cable to the network port of the network camera. Generally a cross-
over cable is used for directly connection to PC, while a direct cable is used for connection to a
hub. You can also use a router featuring PoE+(IEEE802.3AT) (Power over Ethernet) to supply
power to the camera
3) C. Connecting Audio
Connect external Mic to audio input line.
4) D. Alarms
AI(Alarm In): You can use external devices to signal the network camera to react on
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.
5) E. Micro SD memory slot on the BottomBoard
Remove the cap at bottom of the camera to insert the SD memory card.
6) F. USB: For Monitor FW Update
7) G. HDMI: HDMI signal input
8) H. VGA:D-sub 15pin input

lost, the
network camera must be reset to the factory default settings. Please see “Resetting to the factory
defaultsettings.”
To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the admin password, this can be done via
an
encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate (see NOTEbelow). Tosetthe
passwordviaa standardHTTPconnection, enteritdirectlyinthefirstdialogshown below. Toset the
password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, please see “System
