Verify Camera Operation

Prior to installing the camera, use a bench test to verify camera operation and configure the
camera for the local network. The camera provides two analog video streams and can be
controlled through either serial or IP communications providing streaming video over an IP
network.
2.1

Power and analog video

Step 1 Connect the power, video, and serial cables to the camera as described in paragraph
1.7 "Electrical Connections and Schematics" on page 1-6.
Step 2 Connect the video cables from the camera to a display/monitor and connect the
power cable to a power supply.
The camera operates on 21 - 30 VAC or 21 - 30 VDC.
Verify that video is displayed on the monitor.
Step 3 Connect the serial cable from the camera to a serial device such as a keyboard, and
confirm that the camera is responding to serial commands.
Before using serial communications, it may be necessary to configure the serial
device interface to operate with the camera. When the camera is turned on, the
video temporarily displays system information including the serial number, IP address,
Pelco address, Baud rate, and setting of the serial control DIP switch: SW - software
control (the default) or HW - hardware.
S/N: 1234567
IP Addr: 192.168.250.116
PelcoD (Addr:1): 9600 SW
2.2

Verify IP Communications

As shipped from the factory, the D-Series camera has an IP address of 192.168.250.116
with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
Step 1 Configure a laptop or PC with another IP address from this network
(for example, 192.168.250.1).
Step 2 Connect the camera and the laptop to the same Ethernet switch (or back-to-back with
an Ethernet crossover cable).
Step 3 Open a web browser, enter
http://192.168.250.116/index_default.html in the address bar, and press Enter.
1. In some cases, a straight Ethernet cable can be used, because many PCs have auto-
detect Ethernet interfaces.
