VC 220 Dome WDR Day/Night PoE Network Camera Administration Guide
Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following equipment
and services:
• At least one computer running Microsoft Internet Explorer (other browsers
can be used but may have limited functionality)
• An active LAN IP connection
After the basic hardware installation, Cisco strongly recommends that you run the
Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM for first-time software installation of the
camera. Advanced users can set up the Cisco VC 220 directly from the web
interface of the camera.
It is suggested that you install the software (see
Network Camera Software, page
camera. This is because after the software is installed, you will be able to use the
web-based configuration utility to see how the lens should be adjusted and how
the camera needs to be focused. See
Setup, page 87 for instructions on lens and focusing adjustments, and how to
replace the dome cover. The recommended order of steps is as follows:
• Mounting Your Cisco VC 220 Camera, page 21
• Connecting the Equipment, page 23
• Verifying the Hardware Installation, page 25
• Installing the Cisco VC 220 Network Camera Software, page 26
• Adjusting the Lens, page 87
• Attaching the Dome Cover, page 89
The supplied screwdriver is exclusively designed to match the dome screws,
which prevents the cover from being removed by an unauthorized individual. Do
not discard the screwdriver because you may need to remove the dome cover at
a later time.
