Installation Procedures
This section describes the procedures in installing the camera directly on the wall. Prepare a
screwdriver and network cable for this installation; no additional accessories are required.
NOTE: For simplicity, the camera with fixed lens was used to take the images in the succeeding
sections; similar procedures apply to the other models in terms of installation. Therefore, the
camera images used in the succeeding sections may differ from your camera.
Step 1: Prepare the Camera
1. Using the bundled hex screwdriver, loosen the three (3) screws to remove the dome cover.
2. If the network cable will be routed along the surface, slide the cable exit tab from the
dome cover. Otherwise, skip this step.

Step 2: Route the Network Cable
NOTE: Before installation, consider the camera viewing angle and camera logo placement. The
arrow on the drill template and mounting plate align with the direction of the camera logo. Rotate
the drill template as needed.
If the cables will be routed along the surface, route the network cable along the surface. If the
cable will pass through the surface, drill the cable hole according to the bundled drill template,
then route the network cable to pass through the hole.
Step 3: Install the Camera on the Surface
Depending on the material of the wall, you can use the camera itself as a template and attach the
three (3) screws included in the camera package. Or, use the drill template to mark and drill the
screw holes, insert the plastic plugs and install the camera using the three (3) supplied screws.
NOTE: Make sure the screws are flat on the plate.

Step 4: Connect the Cable
1. Connect the network cable to the Ethernet port of the camera. If the cable passes through
the surface, push the excess length of cable further into the hole.
2. On the network side, connect the other end of the cable to a switch or injector. Then, connect
the switch or injector to a network or PC and a power source. See Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
connection example below.

Step 6: Adjust the Viewing Angle and Focus
Based on the Live View, adjust the viewing angle, focus, and orientation of the camera.
Adjustments vary depending on model, see How to Adjust the Viewing Angle and Focus on
page 15 for more information.
Step 7: Close the Dome Cover
1. Align cable tab side of the dome cover to the direction of the network cable.
2. Tighten the three (3) screws using the supplied hex screwdriver to attach the dome cover.
Final installation should look similar to the illustration below.

How to Access the Camera Live View
Connect the Equipment
To be able to connect to the camera firmware from your PC, both the camera and the PC have to
be connected to each other via Ethernet cable. At the same time, the camera has to have its own
power supply. In case of PoE cameras, you can use a PoE Injector or a PoE Switch between the
camera and the PC. The cameras that have the DC power connectors may be powered on by
using a power adaptor.
Configure the IP Addresses
In order to be able to communicate with the camera from your PC, both the camera and the PC
have to be within the same network segment. In most cases, it means that they both should have
very similar IP addresses, where only the last number of the IP address is different from each
other. There are 2 different approaches to IP Address management in Local Area Networks –by
DHCP Server or Manually.
Using DHCP Server to Assign IP Addresses
If you have connected the computer and the camera into the network that has a DHCP server
running, then you do not need to configure the IP addresses at all –both the camera and the PC
would request a unique IP address from DHCP server automatically. In such case, the camera
will immediately be ready for the access from the PC. The user, however, might not know the IP
address of the camera yet. It is necessary to know the IP address of the camera in other to be
able to access it by using a Web browser.

The quickest way to discover the cameras in the network is to use the simplest network
search, built in the Windows system –just by pressing the “Network”icon, all the cameras of the
local area network will be discovered by Windows thanks to the UPnP function support of our
cameras.
In the example below, we successfully found the camera that we had just connected to the
network.
By double-clicking the mouse button on the camera model, it is possible to automatically launch
the default browser of the PC with the IP address of the target camera filled in the address bar of
the browser already.
If you work with our cameras regularly, then there is even a better way to discover the
cameras in the network –by using IP Utility. The IP Utility is a light software tool that can not
only discover the cameras, but also list lots of valuable information, such as IP and MAC
addresses, serial numbers, firmware versions, etc, and allows quick configuration of multiple
devices at the same time.

The IP Utility can be downloaded for free from http://www.acti.com/IP_Utility
With just one click, you can launch the IP Utility and there will be an instant report as follows:
You can quickly see the camera model in the list. Click on the IP address to automatically launch
the default browser of the PC with the IP address of the target camera filled in the address bar of
the browser already.
Using the Default Camera IP Address
If there is no DHCP server in the given network, the user may have to assign the IP addresses to
both PC and camera manually to make sure they are in the same network segment.
When the camera is plugged into network and it does not detect any DHCP services, it will
automatically assign itself a default IP:
192.168.0.100
Whereas the default port number would be 80. In order to access that camera, the IP address of
the PC has to be configured to match the network segment of the camera.
