CHAPTER III IE BROWSER SETTINGS
3.1 Equipment Connection
V940D series camera can be connected directly to a computer or a network.
Note:
Check that the connection is correct and secure before power-on.
3.2 Software Installation
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 the factory default,
your camera is set to obtain the IP address automatically via DHCP server. If
your network does not have a DHCP server the camera will us a link local IP,
i.e. 169.254.x.x.
If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run the Discovery Tool
utility to search for and allocate an IP address for the camera. The Discovery
Tool (IPCConfig.exe) can be found on Vicon’s website, www.vicon-
security.com, on the Software Downloads page for Vicon cameras.
Note: The approved browser for the camera is Internet Explorer*.
Depending on the version of Windows and IE, your screens may be slightly
different but similar in function.
Connect the network camera to the network and power up.
Start IPCConfig. The main window displays and the devices connected to the
network will display. Right click on the camera IP to open a browser. A login will
display.
*Supports Internet Explorer 8.0 or above, however, IE 10 or above is required for full functionality,
including the file upgrade function.
