Chapter 1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing PLANET 5 Mega-pixel Fish-Eye Panorama IP Camera. The Fish-Eye

lens can view 360 degrees panoramic wide angle view without blind spot. With user friendly

interface, it is an easy-to-use IP camera which is designed for security application. The IP

camera delivers a clear image through multi-streaming H.264 and Motion JPEG video up to 1920

x 1920 pixels.

The IP camera supports digital Pan/Tilt and zoom function can provide users with 10 different

video modes. It applies perspective correction software to eliminate the rounding normally

associated with Fish-Eye lenses and thus saves lots of traditional mechanical Pan/Tilt

maintenance cost.

It has a built-in ICR (IR-cut filter removable) for day / night surveillance and provides surveillance

functions including DI/DO alarm, MicroSD card support for local storage, and 2-way audio that

enables audio communication between local and remote IP camera installed sites by connecting

the external microphone and speaker. Moreover, the IP camera can be managed by PLANET

Cam Viewer IP Surveillance management software for multi-camera video surveillance

application and provides monitoring, recording and event management functions to secure your

property and life.

2.2 Physical Details

Front Panel

Interface Description

Light Sensor

The Light sensor is for detecting the IP camera

environment illuminance, and if the IP camera is in the

dark/night environment, it will let IR cut filter off for a

clear night view.

Mic

The IP camera has a built-in internal microphone

which is hidden in the pinhole located on the front

panel.

Reset Button This button is hidden in the pinhole. Please refer to the

user’s manual for more information.

Speaker The IP camera has a built-in internal speaker which is

hidden in the pinhole located on the front panel.

Bottom Panel

Interface Description

Power Jack

The input power is DC 12V, 2A.

ONLY use the power adapter that comes

with the package. Otherwise, the product

may be damaged.

RJ-45 LAN Socket

Connect to PC or Hub/Switch.

It connects to 10Base-T Ethernet or 100Base-TX

Fast Ethernet cabling. This Ethernet port built

auto-negotiation protocol can detect or negotiate

the transmission speed of the network

automatically. Please use CAT-5 cable to connect

the Network Camera to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet

network switch or hub.

ONLY use one power source, either from

DC or from 802.3af Power over Ethernet.

(For ICA-8500 only)

MicroSD Card Slot The IP camera has a built-in MicroSD card slot for

MicroSD memory card for image / video event

recording.

Audio Out Connect a loud speaker to the IP camera. This is

for voice alert and two-way audio.

Audio In Connect a microphone to the IP camera.

GPIO The 7-pin terminal block includes 1 input port and

2 output ports.

Terminal block for I/O connectors:

Pin Function Description

1 GND

2 DI

3 GND

4 DO_COM

5 DO_NO2

6 DO_COM

7 DO_NO1

Digital Input: Only one set is designed in this

camera model. The internal device is also a

photo-coupled electrical relay, and the external

device can be simply an On/Off switch. Each

set of On/Off switch can be connected as one

trigger source.

Digital Output: Each digital output pin to COM

is a photo-coupled relay on Normal Open

status. External device can directly connect to

the terminals. However, the current that will go

through the 2 nodes must not exceed 130mA.

An external “Relay” can also be connected to

the terminals as an implementation. In this

case, current (or/and voltage) limitation is

specified by the external Relay.

2.3 Installation

Step 1. Prepare a PC with Ethernet link to the network

Step 2. Connect an Ethernet cable

Connect LAN port (RJ-45) of the IP camera to a network switch. For ICA-8500,

when this switch is a PoE device, you can ignore the next step.

For ICA-8500, If there has an IEEE 802.3af PoE switch in your network, you can

connect the IP camera’s LAN cable to this PoE switch to obtain power. The power

adapter is unnecessary when the IP camera is powered by PoE switch.

Step 3. Attach the power supply

Plug the power adapter in the IP camera and connect the other end to the power

outlet.

Only use the power adapter supplied with the IP camera; otherwise, the product may

be damaged.

Step 4. Plug Power on 100V ~ 240V

Ensure the power adaptor specification matches the power system (100 ~ 110V

AC or 220 ~ 240VAC) and connect the adaptor to the outlet.

Step 5. Check LED status

The Power LED is defined to identify the IP camera status. When the IP camera is

booting, the LED will flash, and while the IP camera is ready, the LED will be

green.

Step 6. Adjust lens focus

Clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation can be adjusted for the focus of

the IP camera lens.

2.4 Wall/Ceiling Mount Installation Procedure

Step1. Stick the given mounting label at the installation location.

Step2. Take the wall mount bracket, put it on the target place and fix it with the supplied screws

(total of 2).

Step3. Load the camera into the wall mount. Be sure the camera is mated with two fixed

screws, and rotate the camera clockwise to lock it in position.

Chapter 3. Camera Windows Utility

This chapter shows how to quickly set up your IP camera. The IP camera is with the default

settings. However, to help you find the networked IP camera quickly, the Windows utility

(PLANET IPInstaller) can search the IP camera in the network that can help you to configure

some basic setting before you start advanced management and monitoring.

Please insert the bundled CD disk into your CD/DVD-ROM drive. When the welcome web page

appears, please click your IP camera name on the IP camera list, i.e. ICA-8500 Series. Then

click on the utility IPInstaller to start the program.

3.1 Network Configuration

Please click “Search Network Device” button. PLANET IPInstaller will list the networked IP

camera in the LAN. If the IP camera cannot be found, you may check whether this IP camera is

connected to the network properly and press the search button again.

1. Click the menu bar Device Search to search the device in the LAN.

2. Select the IP camera with the MAC address corresponding to the IP camera that is to be

configured.

3. Double click the item to open the Property Page or click the menu bar Property.

4. After filling the desired settings in the properties, click on “Set” button to complete the

configuration settings.
