Page 10
Using the template sheet provided, mark mounting holes and cable hole in the location (ceiling or wall) where this dome camera will be installed. Do not continue to turn the camera in same direction. The cable connector can be detached.
Connections Micro SD Memory Slot on the Bottom Board Remove the cap at bottom of the camera to insert the SD memory card (customer-supplied). • Connecting to the RJ-45 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.
Resetting to the Factory Default Settings > > To reset the network camera to the original factory settings, go to the Setup System Maintenance web > page (described in “System Maintenance” of User’s Manual) or use the Reset button on the network camera inside the bottom cap.
If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run the “Smart Manager” utility to search and allocate an IP address to your products, or reset the product to the factory default settings and then perform the installation again. The utility can be found on the Vicon website www.vicon-security.com, on the Software Downloads page for Vicon cameras Connect the network camera to the network and power up.
3. Operation The network camera 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. Note: Some screens may appear different (i.e., color scheme) depending on the firmware version, but the functionality is the same or similar.
Access from the Internet Once connected, the network camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the network camera from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the network camera.

The main benefits of a QoS-aware network are: The ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical flows to be served before flows with lesser priority.
Page 66
NAT (Port Mapping)l A broadband router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the “outside,” that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most broadband routers are pre-configured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network/Internet.
Page 67
• NAT Settings Enable – Check this box to enable NAT traversal. When enabled, the network camera attempts to configure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP. Note that UPnP must be enabled in the network camera (see System>Network>UPnP). Automatic setting: When selected, the network camera automatically searches for NAT routers on your network.
Page 68
Zeroconfig Zeroconfig allows the network camera to create and assign the IP address for network cameras and connect to a network automatically. Zero configuration networking (zeroconf) is a set of techniques that automatically creates a usable Internet Protocol (IP) network without manual operator intervention or special configuration servers. Zero configuration networking allows devices such as computers and printers to connect to a network automatically.
