Installation

Hardware Installation

Please verify that your product package contains all the

accessories listed in the foregoing Package Contents.

Depending on the user’s application, an Ethernet cable may

be needed. The Ethernet cable should meet the specs of UTP

Category 5 and not exceed 100 meters in length.

Upon powering up, the device runs through a self-test procedure and the front LEDs

will blink between green and red a few times. If self-test passes, the LEDs will shut off

and the Network Camera will be on stand-by and ready for software installation. If

self-test fails the red LED will blink several times. Refer to Appendix A for

troubleshooting.

The Network Camera will first detect Ethernet. If it does not connect to Ethernet, the

Network Camera will try WLAN. During the searching and connecting process to the

wireless access point or station, the red LED of the Network Camera will flash every

second. Until the Network Camera connects to the other wireless device, the red LED

will become lighted. Operating in either network mode, the green LED will flash every

second as heartbeat to indicate alive.

To install in Ethernet

Make sure the Ethernet is firmly connected to a switch hub. After attaching the

Ethernet cable plug in the power adapter. If the LED turns out to be steady green after

Connect the power adapter jack to the Network

Camera before pluggi

ng in to the power socket. This will

reduce the risk of accidental electric shock.

self-test, go to next paragraph “Software installation”. If the Ethernet is not available,

Network Camera will switch to wireless LAN mode.

To install in wireless LAN

If the Ethernet is not available while power on, the Network Camera will search for any

access point with the SSID “default”. Once any access point is found, the LED will turn

green to wait for installation. If the network environment cannot meet the default

settings, install Network Camera in Ethernet to proceed with wireless LAN

configuration.

The Network Camera provides a general I/O terminal block with one digital input and

one relay switch for device control. Pin 1 and Pin 2 can be connected to an external

sensor device and the state of voltage can be monitored from the initial state 'LOW'.

The relay switches Pin 3 and Pin 4 can be used to turn on or off an external device.

Consult with the dealer of the peripherals for correct installation.

1 DI+ INPUT (Max. 50mA, 12VDC)

2 DI-INPUT (Initial state of DI is Low)

3 SW_COMMON OUTPUT (open from SW_OPEN at initial state)

(close with SW_OPEN when DO is set to ON)

4 SW_NOPEN OUTPUT (Max. 1A, 24VDC or 0.5A, 125VAC)

Software Installation

In this manual, "User" refers to whoever has access to the Network Camera, and

"Administrator" refers to the person who can configure the Network Camera and grant

user access to the camera.

At the end of the hardware installation, the Administrator must place the product

software CD into the CD-ROM drive of the PC running in MS Windows. An auto-run

program will pop up (If the program is not on auto-run, go to theroot directory of the

software CD and click on “autorun.exe”).

Click on the IP installer and run Vivotek’s Installation program.

Install the Network Camera on Ethernet before install it on WLAN.

Refer to the

network setting chapter to setup wireless network parameters.

Upon IP installer’s start up, a searching box will pop

up. This program searches for Vivotek’s product on

the same LAN:

After searching the LAN, the main window of IP installer will pop up.

The IP addresses shown in

the "Current IP Address"

field reflect those on the

local network. They may

be from the DHCP server.

If there is no DHCP server,

the camera will try to find a

free IP address (this takes

from 15 second to 3

minutes, depending on the

LAN status). The method of

finding IP address is

seeking from 192.168.0.99,

to 192.168.0.254. If any of

the address inside this

range is free, the Network

Camera will be assigned to

this IP, and its subnet mask

would be 255.255.255.0. If

none of the addresses is free, the Network Camera will try the range from 192.168.0.2

to 192.168.0.98. After an IP address is assigned to the camera, the “Activity”status

LED blinks.
