3. After you make the cable connections, screw the back panel into place.
Connecting Cables
Refer to the diagrams in the Overview section for the location of the different connectors.
To connect the cables required for proper operation, complete the following:
1. If external input or output devices are part of the installation (for example: door contacts, relays, etc.),
connect the devices to the I/O connector block.
2. If an external microphone or external video monitor needs to be connected to the camera, connect the
devices to the camera Audio/Video Connector.
3. Connect power using one of the following methods:
l
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Plus IEEE 802.3at Class 4 — Connect a PoE Plus compliant injector or
switch to the Ethernet network cable.
l
External Power — Connect an external “Class 2” or “LPS” or “Limited Power Source” with output
rated 24 VAC +/- 10%, 32 VA minimum or 24 VDC +/- 10%, 23 W minimum.
NOTE:
The PTZ will move as the camera powers up. It will stop when it has completed its startup
procedures.
4. Connect a network cable to the Ethernet port (RJ-45 connector).
The Link LED will turn on once a network link has been established.
5. Check that the Connection Status LED indicates the correct state. For more information, see
LED
Indicators
on page 15.
Assigning an IP Address
The camera automatically obtains an IP address when it is connected to a network.
NOTE:
If the camera cannot obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, it will use Zero Configuration Networking
(Zeroconf) to choose an IP address. When set using Zeroconf, the IP address is in the 169.254.0.0/16 subnet.
The IP address settings can be changed using one of the following methods:
l
Camera's web browser interface: http://
<camera IP address>
/
l
Network video management software application (for example, Avigilon Control Center (ACC)™ software).
l
ARP/Ping method. For more information, see
Setting the IP Address Using the ARP/Ping Method
on
page 17.
NOTE:
The default camera username is
administrator
with no password.
Accessing the Live Video Stream
Live video stream can be viewed using one of the following methods:
l
Web browser interface: http://
<IP address>
/
l
Network video management software application (for example, the Avigilon Control Center software).
NOTE:
The default camera username is
