Vodafone Business Surveillance – IP470 Installation User Guide

Prerequisites
- Camera must have default IP
Address and default admin
password set.
- Camera must be connected
directly to the device.
- The LAN port configured for use
on the Series device must be set
for Static IP.
- Encoder LAN port in use can either
be set to static IP for direct
connection or configured to connect
to a LAN network.
- Camera must be pre-configured with
an IP Address that can be accessed by
the encoder (usually on the same
sub-net)
As the IP470s do not have an analog input, an analog to digital converter/encoder is needed, if a customer
requires them to be connected to an analog camera. Axis Single Channel Encoder is the recommended
converter for this solution. They can be powered over Ethernet or with an additional power source.
5.3.1
Adding an IP camera using FastConnect
From the Camera Settings page click the Add button to start the Add
Camera wizard.
Select the Add a camera via FastConnect menu option.
Select the network interface the camera is directly attached
to.
Select the brand of camera you are adding to the encoder.
Enter a friendly name that Vodafone Business Surveillance
should use to refer to this camera
Enter a new administrator password for the IP camera
Please take note of both the new IP Address and password, as these
may be required later if configuring the camera through its web
configuration pages.
The next stage is for the encoder to then attempt to find the camera
attached to the device, and if found, will reconfigure the camera and
add it to the list of cameras connected to the encoder.
NOTE: This will only succeed if the camera has factory default settings,
including all network settings.
5.3.2
Auto discover a connected IP Camera
For cameras that are not configured using FastConnect, it is recommended to search for the camera using
the Search local network for cameras menu option.
NOTE: The IP camera and the port (on the encoder) it is connected to must have compatible IP Address settings.
Usually this means that the IP Address of the camera, and address of the encoder port must both be 192.168.X.Y,
where X is the same, but Y is unique on the network.
The encoder will search all enabled network interfaces for IP cameras and display a list of all cameras
available.
To select a camera, click on its entry in the list.
