2.2 Installation
VK2-600PTZ is for use in surface mounting applications and the mounting surface
should be capable of supporting loads up to 3.5lb (1.6kg).
VK2-600PTZ‘s base should be attached to a structural object, such as hard wood, wall
stud or ceiling rafter that supports the weight of VK2-600PTZ.

VK2-600PTZ User manual
CAUTION: Before installing the bracket to surface, adjust the four mounting screws "A"
on the base of the dome camera to best match the mounting bracket locked position.
Unscrew the locking screw on the side of the dome's base and fit the tab of the mounting
bracket into the locking slot. Screws "A" should not be too tight or too loose when the
dome is in the locked position. After setting the proper positions of screws "A" remove
the mounting bracket and install it to the proper surface. If it is too difficult to lock the
dome in position after the mounting bracket has been installed readjust the screws "A" by
unscrewing them a small amount and try to install dome camera again.

So, it is necessary to allocate an IP address to the device with the ―SmartManager‖ utility on the
CD.
1. Connect VK2-600PTZ / device to the network and power up.
2. Start SmartManager utility (All programs > NautilusClient16 > 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 VK2-600PTZ on the list and click right button of the mouse.
You can see the pop-up menu as below.
4. Select Assign IP Address. You can see Assign IP window. Enter the required IP address.

Chapter 3 —Operation by Web Browser
The VK2-600PTZ can be used with Windows operating system and browsers.
The recommended browsers are Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome
with Windows.
Note: To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, set your browser to allow ActiveX
controls.
3.1 Access from a browser
1) Start a browser (Internet Explorer).
2) Enter the IP address or host name of the network camera in the Location/Address field of
your browser.
3) You can see a starting page. Click Live View or Setup to enter web page.

VK2-600PTZ User manual
3.2 Access from the internet
Access from the internet once connected, the network camera is accessible on your local
network (LAN). To access the video encoder from the Internet you must configure your
broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the video encoder. To do this, enable the NAT
traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the
video encoder. This is enabled from Setup > System > Network > NAT.
For more information, please see NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4, on ―4.5.5 System > 4)
Network > NAT traversal‖.
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 username and password is ―admin‖. If the password is lost, the
network camera must be reset to the factory default settings.
See ―4.8 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 below).
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 Setup > System > Security
> HTTPS, on ―4.5.5 System > 2) Security > HTTPS‖.
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.
3.4 Live View Page
