Network Considerations
The V910 Camera Dome can be connected to any ViconNet network (Version 4 software). Kollector Elite
Recorders and ViconNet Workstations can be used for live viewing and recording of network-streamed video.
A network can be as simple as a single V910 connected to a ViconNet Workstation or can be complex with
the addition of several networks interconnected via WAN.
When adding a V910 IP Camera to the ViconNet network, the following items must be considered:
•
The number of cameras on a switch with respect to switch capabilities and system bandwidth mapping.
•
Bandwidth limitations on ports connected to workstations (using 100 or 1000 Mbps).
•
Workstation capabilities such as processing speed, disk write speed and display card strength.
•
Storage size and location types including local Workstation recording, attached SCSI RAID and
integrated NAS/SAN devices.
The default parameters on the IP dome are:
Factory
Defaults
Network
Defaults
IP address:
[10.10.10.1]
IP
address: [1.1.1.2]
Nucleus IP address:
[1.1.1.1]
Nucleus
IP
address: [1.1.1.1]
Net Mask address: [255.255.255.0]
Net Mask address: [255.255.255.0]
Gateway address:
[0.0.0.0]
Gateway
address: [1.1.1.1]
On first startup, the camera will attempt to establish connection to the Nucleus with the default address
(1.1.1.1). Connecting it to an active Nucleus is done through the VNSetup utility.
Note: When connecting to ViconNet application version 4, the number of concurrent users viewing video
from the same device cannot exceed 10 users.
Groups and Users Restrictions
ViconNet allows creating Multiple Groups and Users in order to limit the rights to different levels. For more
information on how to create Users and Groups, refer to the latest revision of ViconNet manual XX113.
Although the ViconNet software does not limit the number of Groups and Users that can be created, the
Roughneck V910 Camera Dome has Users and Groups limitations. For ViconNet version 4, the dome can
support the first 20 Groups (including Administrators and Guests) and the first 100 Users.
Configuring the Network Settings
Note: Before starting, make sure that VNSetup is installed on the configuring PC\workstation. Installation is
done using the CD included.
There are two ways to change the IP dome network settings:
•
Activating the camera for the first time: via VNSetup application.
•
Connecting the camera to an active Nucleus: via ViconNet application (connection to same Nucleus as
the camera is necessary).
Note: In order to install firmware, the PC and camera must be on the same IP network.
Using the VNSetup Utility
VNSetup consists of several TABs. Each TAB provides different functionalities.
Note: Once the IP Camera Setup is run the first time, a shortcut is placed on the desktop for future use.
1.
Make sure the MAC address and password of the camera is available. Use MAC Address log provided.
2.
Verify that the camera is physically connected to the configuring workstation via the network.
