Read the installation instructions before installing and connecting the IP camera. Power Connection You can use 12vDC power or Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power the CM-650 camera. When powered by PoE, any 802.3af compliant device may be used to provide power.
Once the lens is attached, remove the lens cap. ALARM I/O CONNECTION The CM-650 is equipped with one alarm input and one relay output. Refer to alarm pin definition below to connect alarm devices to the IP camera if needed.
LOCATE CAMERA OPENEYE NETWORK CAMERA MANAGER Use the included Network Camera Manager software to easily find your network cameras for initial setup. The OpenEye IP Finder software is included on the CD with all OpenEye IP devices. Installation You can install Network Camera Manager on any personal computer (PC) or laptop using the software CD included with your OpenEye IP camera or by downloading the program from openeye.net.
Device Addressing The functions on the Device Addressing tab allow you to find, configure, and view network cameras. Finding Network Devices Click Find Devices on the Device Addressing tab. To narrow your search by Camera Model, Project, or Camera Name, select your desired criteria from the appropriate lists.
OpenEye IP cameras using third party software like VLC media player (http://www.videolan.org). To connect the camera you may need to provide the stream URL. All OpenEye IP cameras are capable of delivering two RTSP streams, as well as streaming MJPEG over HTTP.
There are some challenges with connecting to OpenEye IP cameras over WAN (internet) connections because the camera streams video over RTSP. RTSP is an excellent protocol for media and is now used on many IP cameras (including OpenEye) as the default streaming option.
