Introduction The information in this manual covers the installation and operation of the MPD-955 I-Onyx® Megapixel IP Dome Camera. This camera dome should only be installed by a qualified technician using approved materials and wiring practices in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, state, and local electrical codes.
Installation Connectors and Controls Internal Connections Reset Button To reset the camera back to factory defaults, follow the steps below: Step 1: Switch off the camera by disconnecting the power cable. Step 2: Press and continue to hold the reset button. Reconnect the power cable while continuing to hold the reset button.
Power Input If your power input is 12 VDC, connect to power according to the table below. NAME DESCRIPTION DC Power Input Ground Pin Audio/Alarm Input/Output Not supported by ViconNet (future use). Len Adjustments The MPD-955 camera is supplied with a 4.2 mm fixed megapixel lens. The supplied 4.2 lens has an adjustment ring for focus.
Connections Follow the procedures below to connect the IP device to other equipment in the system. 1. If using 12 VDC, connect the power adaptor to the camera dome and then to an appropriate power source. 2. When powering with PoE, connect camera’s Ethernet port to an Ethernet (RJ-45) connector. If your camera has built-in PoE, you can regard it as a Powered Device (PD) and connect it directly to a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device, such as a PoE switch.
Mounting the Dome The dome can be installed in two configurations, surface-mount and wall mount. The wall mount installation requires the optional MPD-955 -WM Wall Mount. Refer to instruction manual XX194-60 for complete installation instructions on this mounting option. The MPD-955 consists of a ceiling plate, a base (which includes the camera/lens assembly) and a cover with a clear dome.

Make cable connections (RJ-45 and power if not using PoE) to the camera board. There are cable straps and screws provided in the accessory kit to secure cables, as needed. Fasten the camera dome base to the ceiling plate by turning in a clockwise direction until it snaps into the tabs.
Camera Configuration The I-ONYX MPD-955 megapixel cameras are configured in a different way than other ViconNet cameras. Initial setup and configuration are NOT done through VNSetup software but through a Web Browser interface. These cameras will not show up on the ViconNet Setup Site Selection list.

Network Considerations The MPD-955 IP Camera Dome can be connected to any ViconNet network (Version 5 software). ViconNet NVRs, DVRs and Workstations can be used for live viewing and recording of network-streamed video. A network can be as simple as a single MPD-955 camera connected to a ViconNet Workstation or can be complex with the addition of several networks interconnected via WAN.
Appendix The information in this appendix is intended to explain how to use the IP Utility that is on the CD provided with the camera. This utility is similar to VNSetup on Vicon cameras. Vicon recommends that this utility be used only as a tool to find an unknown IP address for a camera and to upgrade the firmware.
