7 Switching on

Ensure the unit and the other components
of the system are appropriately closed to
prevent contact with live parts.
Make sure that all parts are fastened down
firmly and safely.
The automatic pre-heating (De-Ice) process
could be started whenever the device is
switched on and the ambient temperature
is below 0°C (+32°F). The procedure is
necessary to guarantee correct operation
of the devices even at low temperatures.
The duration ranges depending on
environmental conditions (from 60 minutes
up to 120 minutes).
The unit is switched on by connecting the power
supply.
To switch off the unit disconnect the power.

8 Configuration

You must create a user with administrator
privileges when first connecting to the
camera, before the camera is operational.

8.1 Default IP address

The unit is configured to obtain an IP
address from a DHCP server.
The IP address acquired via DHCP is visible in the
DHCP server log file.
If the DHCP server is not available, the unit
automatically configures itself with a self-generated
IP address in the 169.254.x.x/16 subnet. To connect
your PC to setup the camera with a self-generated
IP address, configure your PC to belong in the same
subnet (example: IP address: 169.254.1.1, subnet
mask: 255.255.0.0).
Use an ONVIF compliant VMS or a network sniffer to
find the IP address of the device (IP scan utility).

8.2.1 First access to the web pages

On first access, you will be directed to the Add a new
user page to create the first user account.
