In order to configure or test the cameras, a PC with following basic specifications is needed:

Preparation
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.
The Ethernet port LED or Power LED of the camera will indicate that the power supply for the
camera works normally.
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.

VMGB-370 User’s 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. Firmware upgrade can also be done through the IP Utility (see IP utility
documentation for more details).
Search and downloand IP Utility for free from http://www.acti.com/DownloadCenter.
With just one click, you can launch the IP Utility and there will be an instant report as follows:
You can quickly notice the camera model in the list. Double-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.
Use the Default IP Address of a Camera
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.

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:
Manually Adjust the IP Addresses of Multiple Cameras
If there are more than 1 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:
11
www.acti.com
VMGB-370 User’s Manual
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.
12

VMGB-370 User’s Manual
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.
Open the web browser, input the IP address of the camera, and then press Enter to go to the
login page.
Assuming that the camera’s IP address is 192.168.0.100, type the following address into Web
browser’s address bar:
http://192.168.0.100
Upon successful connection to the camera, the user interface will appear together with the login
page.
Before logging in, the admin user should configure first the device account and password. This
account and password will be used for future administrator logins.
NOTE: You may be prompted to install the necessary plug-ins in before viewing the live video
and operating the camera. Follow the on-screen instructions to install plug-ins.
NOTE: The Admin user can set the login attmeps with the wrong password. When your login
attempts with the wrong password reach the set times, the device is locked. Go to Configuration
> System > Security > Security Service, and enable Enable Illegal Login lock, and set the
illegal login attempts.

Using IPv6 to Access the Camera

accessing the camera. The IPv6 address can be found under the Configuration > Network > Basic Settings > TCP/IP menu.

When you enable this function, the device measures the actual temperature of the scene. It
alarms when temperature exceeds the temperature threshold value.
Notice
This part introduces the notices of configuring temperature measurement function.
The target surface should be as vertical to the optical axis as possible. It is
recommended that the angle of oblique image plane should be less than 45°.
The target image pixels should be more than 5 × 5.
If multiple presets will be taken for temperature measurement, it is recommended to set
the patrol time above 20 s.

emissivity. Refer to Common Material Emissivity Reference to search for the target
emissivity.
Distance
The distance between the target and the device.

Alarm Temperature and Pre-Alarm Temperature
Set the alarm temperature and pre-alarm temperature. E.g., select Alarm Rule as
Above (Average Temperature), set the Pre-Alarm Temperature to 50 °C, and set the
Alarm temperature to 55 °C. The device pre-alarms when its average temperature is
higher than 50 °C and alarms when its average temperature is higher than 55 °C.
Filtering Time
It refers to the duration time after the target temperature reaches or exceeds the
pre-alarm temperature/alarm temperature.
Tolerance Temperature
Set the tolerance temperature to prevent the constant temperature change to affect
the alarm. E.g., set tolerance temperature as 3°C, set alarm temperature as 55°C, and
set pre-alarm temperature as 50°C. The device sends pre-alarm when its temperature
reaches 50°C and it alarms when its temperature reaches 55°C and only when the
device temperature is lower than 52°C will the alarm be cancelled.
Pre-Alarm Output and Alarm Output
When the temperature of target exceeds the pre-alarm or alarm threshold, it triggers
the pre-alarm or alarm output of the connected device.
