Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
1. Description The information in this manual provides quick installation and setup procedures for the CE102D Series of Camera Domes. These units should only be installed by a qualified technician using approved materials in conformance with federal, state, and local codes. Read these instructions thoroughly before beginning an installation.
1.2 Key Features • Brilliant video quality The network camera offers the highly efficient H.264 video compression, which drastically reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. Motion JPEG is also supported for increased flexibility. • Triple streams The network camera can deliver triple video streams simultaneously at full frame rate in all resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 using Motion JPEG and H.264 (or MPEG-4).
2. Installation 2.1 Camera Installation Carefully remove the contents from the box and verity that nothing was damaged in shipment. 1) Using the template sheet provided, make screw holes for camera on the ceiling. 2) Disassemble the camera by gently turning the camera cover counter-clockwise to remove it. 3) Secure the dome camera to the ceiling using the anchors (2x) and screws (2x) provided in the accessory kit.

Locking Screw Camera Dimension Refer to the diagrams below for exact dimensions.
2.2 Connection • Connection Cable Name Description Lens Allows wide area to be monitored Power Cable Cable for power source (12 VDC ) Ethernet Cable Cable for Ethernet (PoE) • Connecting to the RJ-45 Connect a standard RJ-45 cable to the network port of the network camera. Generally a cross-over cable is used for direct connection to PC, while a direct cable is used for connection to a hub or switch.
2.3 Network Connection and IP assignment The network camera is designed for use on an Ethernet network and requires an IP address for access. Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to connected devices. By factory default, your camera is set to obtain the IP address automatically via DHCP server.
3. Operation The network camera can be used with Windows® operating system and browsers. The recommended browsers are Internet Explorer®, Safari®, Firefox®, Opera® and Google® Chrome® with Windows. Note: To view streaming video in Microsoft® Internet Explorer, set your browser to allow ActiveX controls.
3.2. Access from the internet Once connected, the network camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the network camera from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the network camera. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the network camera.

3.5 Network Camera Setup This section describes how to configure the network camera, and is intended for product Administrators, who have unrestricted access to all the Setup tools, and Operators, who have access to the settings for Basic, Live View, Video & Image and System Configuration. The network camera is configured by clicking Setup in the top right-hand corner of the Live View page.
Enable WS-Security: Do not check this box to connect and monitor the network camera through Vicon’s viewing software using drivers older than 935. Note: WS-Security is an open format for signing and encryption of message parts, for supplying credentials in the form of security tokens, and for security passing those tokens in a message.
2) Network The network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address for the network camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the network camera receives an IP address according to the configuration in the network router.
3) Video & Image • Stream1 Setting Codec: The codec settings are separated into MPEG4 and H.264. H.264 is also known as MPEG-4 Part 10. This is the new generation compression standard for digital video. This function offers higher video resolution than Motion JPEG or MPEG-4 at the same bit rate and bandwidth, or the same quality video at a lower bit rate.
Page 19
Select the GOP (Group of Picture) size. If users want to have a high quality of fast image one by one, decrease the value. For the purpose of general monitoring, do not change a basic value. Such act may cause a problem to the system performance. Vicon recommends that GOP be the same as the fps.
• Stream2 Setting Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the frame rate and quality helps to control the bandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video stream in these situations. Limiting the frame rate and quality optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality.
• New Server Time Select your time zone from the drop-down list. If you want the server clock to automatically adjust for daylight savings time, select the “Automatically adjusts for daylight saving time changes”. From the Time Mode section, select the preferred method to use for setting the time: Synchronize with computer time: Sets the time from the clock on your computer.

UPnP The network camera includes support for UPnP™. UPnP is enabled by default, so the network camera is automatically detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol. Enter a name in the Friendly name field. Note: UPnP must be installed on your workstation if running Windows XP. To do this, open the Control Panel from the Start Menu and select Add/Remove Programs.
Page 52
• DSCP Settings For each type of network traffic supported by your network video product, enter a DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) value. This value is used to mark the traffic’s IP header. When the marked traffic reaches a network router or switch, the DSCP value in the IP header tells the router or switch which type of treatment to apply to this type of traffic, for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it.
Page 53
NAT A broadband router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most broadband routers are pre-configured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network/Internet.
Page 54
• NAT traversal Settings Enable: Click the Enable button to enable NAT traversal; pressing the button toggles between enable and disable. When enabled, the network camera attempts to configure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP. Note that UPnP must be enabled in the network camera (see System>Network>UPnP).
Page 55
Zero configuration networking allows devices such as computers and printers to connect to a network automatically. Without zeroconf, a network administrator must set up services, such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS), or configure each computer's network settings manually, which may be difficult and time-consuming.
6) Maintenance • Maintenance Restart: The unit is restarted without changing any of the settings. Use this method if the unit is not behaving as expected. Reset: The unit is restarted and most current settings are reset to factory default values. The settings that are not affected are: * the boot protocol (DHCP or static) * the static IP address...
• Backup Click the Backup button to save setting values that users enter to the network camera to a user • Restore Click the Restore button to import and apply setting values saved to a user PC. Note: Backup and Restore can only be used on the same unit running the same firmware. This feature is not intended for multi-configurations or for firmware upgrades.
