Hardware Manual
Connecting DI/DO Devices (Optional)
Depending on your surveillance needs, you may connect one (1) digital input and one (1)
digital output device to the main unit to trigger events or notifications.
Digital Input (DI) devices can be used to notify the camera about an activity in the camera site.
DI can be triggers of events. For example, you can connect a “panic button” to the camera; as
such when the panic button is pressed, the alarm signal will be sent through the camera. Other
common DI device applications are emergency button, smoke detector, passive infrared
sensor, etc.
Digital Output (DO) devices are external devices that are activated by the camera upon an
event inside the camera. For example, you can connect an “alarm horn” to the camera; as
such when an event occurs inside the camera (e.g. detected intruder), the alarm horn will
sound. Other common DO device applications are motion-triggered lights, electric fence,
magnetic door locks, etc.
1. Loosen the screws on the terminal block.
2. Connect the input/output pins to the corresponding pins on the terminal block, see
mapping table below.
3. Tighten the screws on the terminal block when done.
To connect an input device (DI), map the pins as below:

Based on these specifications, if the DI device has a voltage of 0V ~ 30V or the DO device has
a voltage of < 24V (<50mA), then the camera can supply internal power to these devices and
there is no need to connect the DI/DO device to an external power source.
In this case, wire connection to GND and DI pins to connect a DI device and use the 12V and
DO pins to connect a DO device. See wiring scheme below:

High Voltage DO Device Connection
Even though the camera provides 12V power, this may not be enough for some high voltage
DO devices, such as a ceiling light or a motor that opens or closes a gate. In this case, there is
a need to connect an external relay. See wiring scheme below:
Note that when choosing an appropriate relay, please refer to its specifications and make sure
they match the above design. The triggering circuit voltage has to be around 12V DC and the
switch-controlled circuit voltage has to match the external power supply (e.g. 110V AC or 220V
AC).
The illustration below is a graphic example of connecting a relay to a high voltage DO device.

Hardware Manual
Accessing the Camera
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 the 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
order to access it 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, the camera that has just been connected to the network is successfully
found.
Double-click the mouse on the camera model name, the default browser of the PC is
automatically launched and the IP address of the target camera is already filled in the address
bar of the browser.
31
www.acti.com
Hardware Manual
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.
Search and downloand IP Utility for free from http://www.acti.com/DownloadCenter.
When you launch IP Utility, the list of connected cameras in the network will be shown. See
sample illustration below:
You can quickly notice 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 already filled in
the address bar of the browser.

Hardware Manual
Use the default IP address of the camera
If there is no DHCP server in the given network, the user may have to manually assign the IP
addresses to both the PC and the camera to make sure they are in the same network
segment.
When the camera is plugged into the 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.
Manually adjust the IP address of the PC
In the following example, based on Windows 7, we will configure the IP address to
192.168.0.99 and set Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0 by using the steps below:
33
www.acti.com
Hardware Manual
Manually adjust the IP addresses of multiple cameras
If there are more than one camera to be used in the same local area network and there is no
DHCP server to assign unique IP addresses to each of them, all of the cameras would then
have the initial IP address of 192.168.0.100, which is not a proper situation for network devices
– all the IP addresses have to be different from each other. The easiest way to assign cameras
the IP addresses is by using IP Utility:
With the procedure shown above, all the cameras will have unique IP addresses, starting from
192.168.0.101. In case there are 20 cameras selected, the last one of the cameras would have
the IP 192.168.0.120.
Later, by pressing the “Refresh” button of the IP Utility, you will be able to see the list of
cameras with their new IP addresses.
Please note that it is also possible to change the IP addresses manually by using the Web
browser. In such case, please plug in only one camera at a time, and change its IP address by
using the Web browser before plugging in the next one. This way, the Web browser will not be
confused about two devices having the same IP address at the same time.

Access the Camera
Now that the camera and the PC are both having their unique IP addresses and are under the
same network segment, it is possible to use the Web browser of the PC to access the camera.
You can use any of the browsers to access the camera, however, the full functionality is
provided only for Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The browser functionality comparison:
* When using non-Internet Explorer browsers, free third-party software plug-ins must be
installed to the PC first to be able to get the live video feed from the camera:
Disclaimer Notice: The camera manufacturer does not guarantee the compatibility of its
cameras with VLC player or QuickTime – since these are third party softwares. The third party
has the right to modify their utility any time which might affect the compatibility. In such cases,
please use Internet Explorer browser instead.
When using Internet Explorer browser, the ActiveX control for video stream management will
be downloaded from the camera directly – the user just has to accept the use of such control
when prompted so. No other third party utilities are required to be installed in such case.

Hardware Manual
The examples in this manual are based on Internet Explorer browser in order to cover
all functions of the camera.
Assuming that the camera’s IP address is 192.168.0.100, you can access it by opening the
Web browser and typing the following address into Web browser’s address bar:
http://192.168.0.100
Upon successful connection to the camera, the user interface called Web Configurator would
appear together with the login page. The HTTP port number was not added behind the IP
address since the default HTTP port of the camera is 80, which can be omitted from the
