2 VC 220 Dome WDR Day/Night PoE Network Camera Quick Start Guide

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Cisco VC 220 Dome Wide Dynamic Range

(WDR) Day/Night PoE Network Camera. The Cisco VC 220 network

camera is a high-performance web-ready camera, and can be part of a

flexible surveillance system.

This guide describes how to physically install your Cisco VC 220 network

camera and how to install and launch the provided Setup Wizard.

Before You Begin

Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following

equipment and services:

•At least one computer running Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x, or later

(other browsers can be used but may have limited functionality)

•An active LAN IP connection

After the basic hardware installation, Cisco strongly recommends that you

run the Setup Wizard on the CD-ROM for first-time software installation of

the camera. Advanced users can set up the Cisco VC 220 directly from the

web interface of the camera.

It is suggested that you install the software – see “Getting Started with

the Configuration” section on page 11 – before you replace the dome

cover on the camera. This is because after the software is installed, you

will be able to use the web-based configuration utility to see how the lens

should be adjusted and how the camera needs to be focused.

See “Suggested Next Steps” section on page 12 for instructions on lens

and focusing adjustments, and how to replace the dome cover. The

recommended order of steps is as follows:

•“Mounting Your Cisco VC 220 Camera” section on page 8

•“Connecting the Equipment” section on page 9

•“Verifying the Hardware Installation” section on page 11

•“Getting Started with the Configuration” section on page 11

•“Adjusting the Lens” section on page 12

•“Attaching the Dome Cover” section on page 13

The supplied screwdriver is exclusively designed to match the dome

screws, which prevents the cover from being removed by an unauthorized

individual. Do not discard the screwdriver because you may need to

remove the dome cover at a later time.

Lens” section on page 12.

Built-in Microphone Features a built-in microphone mounted on the front of

the camera. The camera also has a connection for an

external microphone on the rear. Connecting an external

microphone disables the built-in microphone.

VC 220 Dome WDR Day/Night PoE Network Camera Quick Start Guide 5

Light Sensor Detects the amount of ambient light and switches the

camera from day to night. If light is too low, the light

sensor triggers the IR LEDs to turn on.

12 Infrared (IR)

LEDs

Enables operation in complete darkness. The ring of IR

LEDs are built-in with a working range of 15 m (50 feet).

Status LED Indicates the following status:

LED Off—The power is off or the LED status is turned off.

Flashing green in one second intervals—The camera

and network is functioning.

Steady orange—The camera can’t detect a networking

signal; thus the camera is not functioning. For example,

the Ethernet cable is not attached.

Flashing orange—The PIR sensor noted movement.

Flashing green rapidly—The firmware is being

upgraded.

Flashing orange rapidly—The camera’s default settings

are being restored.

Alternating flashing green and orange—Video has

been lost.

Recessed Reset

Button

Use a bent paperclip to press the Reset button. The

Reset button has two functions:

Restart—Press and hold the Reset button for less than

five seconds to reset the camera.

Restore Factory Defaults—Press and hold the Reset

button for 10 seconds to restore factory defaults.

Ethernet RJ45 Port Connects your Cisco VC 220 camera to a Power over

Ethernet (PoE) switch or router, or to a PoE power injector

(not provided) for connection to a non-PoE switch or

router. The LEDs surrounding the Ethernet port indicate

the following status:

Green—Indicates network and data activity. Light should

be steady when camera is on and flashing when data is

transmitted or received.

Amber—Indicates PoE. Should be steady when using

PoE.

Power Included. Connects your Cisco VC 220 camera to 12 V

power (1 Amp) when not using PoE.

Installing Your Cisco VC 220 Camera

Installation Tips

Before installing the camera, look for a spot that best suits your needs. The

built-in PIR sensor is designed to be triggered when a person enters its

detection range. Therefore, it is crucial to install your camera with the PIR

sensor facing the desired direction. The sensitivity of the PIR sensor

depends on the object size and temperature differences between the

object and the background environment.

CAUTION Do not install the Cisco VC 220 camera around sources of

heat, such as direct sunlight, radiators, ovens, or televisions.

For more location recommendations, see the Cisco VC 220

Network Camera Administration Guide found at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9944/

Mounting Your Cisco VC 220 Camera

If you have more than one camera, make a note of the MAC address found

on the side of your camera. You may want to refer to the MAC address later

to identify multiple cameras. Your MAC address will be something like the

following: 00:21:29:72:7D:2C.

STEP 1Use the screwdriver to detach the dome cover from the camera

base.

STEP 2For a ceiling mount, insert the supplied two screws in the

corresponding holes on each side of the camera base and secure

them with a screwdriver. Consider using Steps 4 and 5 to make the

mount more secure.

For a wall mount, attach the alignment template to the wall.

STEP 3Drill two pilot holes into the ceiling/wall through the two circles on

the template.

STEP 4Hammer the supplied plastic anchors into the holes.

STEP 5Align the two holes on each side of the camera base with the two

plastic anchors on the wall, insert the supplied screws to

corresponding holes, and secure them with a screwdriver.

Your Cisco VC 220 camera is now ready for network setup.

NOTE The wall mount screws come with anchors that can be used for

drywall or concrete. The screw size is a metric M4 with a length of 31.75

mm. The anchor is the same length and internal diameter to accept the

screw.

For non-metric countries, the equivalent screw size is #8 x 1 ¼ inch. The

anchor size is #8-#10 with a length of 1 ¼ inch.
