  • Page 13: Installation

    Installation PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS Before you make any cuts or drill any holes it is imperative that the following points are considered: 1) Does the desired mounting position provide the viewing angles you want the camera to deliver? We strongly recommend prior to deciding the final fixing position that you power up the camera and offer it into position to ensure it is going to cover all the areas you want it to.
  • Page 14: Installation

    Installation 1) Cable Extensions The ATOM camera is supplied with a 3 meter ‘umbilical’ cable that connects directly into either the base of the camera (standard models) or the side of the camera (side-entry models). The main connector onto the camera is a waterproof 9 pin multi-pole circular push fit connector. In most installations it will be necessary to run extension cables for power, network and RS485 serial data.
  • Page 15 3c - RS485 Serial Data If you are controlling the camera using serial data (ie, using an Iris control joystick or controller from an IRIS CMAC system), terminate the RS485 A and RS485 B wires into the screw terminal plug that is supplied with the umbilical cable.
  • Page 16 4 - Connecting Up When all terminations have been made, power up the camera and test for correct operation. When you are satisfied all terminations are correct, down-power the camera and fix into place on using the appropriate fixings. IT IS GOOD PRACTICE TO ENSURE THAT MOISTURE CANNOT INGRESS INTO THE MOUNTING SURFACE BY USING A SUITABLE SEALANT.

    A295 nd A395 support. Therefore, Iris have mapped the unsupported features to certain Pelco D commands. A full table of Pelco commands is provided in Appendix A to this guide for developers interested in integrating Atom camera control to their systems.
  • Page 18: Log In

    Logging into your camera from a third party device such as a chart-plotter, network video recorder (NVR) or Iris CMAC system , that do not offer browser interfaces, will differ. Some devices may not need login credentials, whereas others will need you to set up user name and password credentials within their own interface.

  • Page 25: Networking & Viewing On Computers

    Networking & Viewing on Computers Atom cameras are network / IP devices designed to be integrated to your camera system via our CMAC or other NVR devices but they can also be used with a computer. Whether the camera is being configured on a CMAC, NVR or Computer, it is necessary to ensure all devices are set in the correct IP address range.
  • Page 26 The method of changing the address of the NIC your camera is connected to is relatively simple but will depend on your computers operating system, and may change if the version of your OS changes. These instructions pertain to MicroSoft Windows 10. Please refer to the appropriate OS instructions if necessary - especially if the instructions below do not match what you are seeing due to different OS versions.

  • Page 29: Testing Communications From Your Computer To The Camera (Using Ping)

    Testing Communications from your Computer to the Camera (using PING) 1) From your Desktop press the Windows Key and ‘R’ together to present the RUN window 2) Type "CMD" then press OK to open the Command Prompt Window 3) Type IPCONFIG and press enter to confirm IPv4 address of local ethernet adapter. This will confirm the IPv4 address of your Network Interface Card (NIC) as set in the previous step.
  • Page 30: Accessing The Camera From Your Web Browser (Ms Internet Explorer Or Ms Edge)

    Accessing The Camera from your Web Browser (MS Internet Explorer or MS Edge) ATOM cameras can be directly accessed on older operating systems from the Internet Explorer browser by simply typing the IP address of the camera (192.168.1.100 for example) into the address bar.
  • Page 31 6) This adds the webpage of the camera to the Internet Explorer Mode Pages list. If you want to add another camera (for example if you have an ATOM-A295 / A-395 dual payload camera) simply repeat stages 4 and 5. Once you have completed these steps you should now be able to connect to the camera and view its webpages by simply entering the IP address of the camera (such as 192.168.1.100 or 192.168.1.101).
