Overview

The Illustra 625 PTZ Camera (hereafter referred to as the dome) is a PTZ high definition camera
utilizing the latest in IP technologies. ONVIF-compatibility allows interoperability with other ONVIF­compliant third party NVRs. A built-in web server allows you to configure the dome and stream
video using Internet Explorer version 8 and higher.

The dome can operate as a standalone camera on a network however it is intended to be
integrated into sophisticated security solutions. The Feature Plus version of the dome features
audio and alarms.

The dome is available in the following configurations:

Illustra 625 PTZ, 1080p, 20x indoor, no bubble, non-vandal, black ADCi625-P132

Illustra Connect

Illustra Connect is American Dynamics camera discovery tool and is supplied with the Illustra 625
PTZ Camera on the CD.

Connecting to IP cameras and configuring them can be a time-consuming and error-prone
process. Typing static IP addresses, or naming cameras without seeing where they are pointed,
often results in longer installations. Illustra Connect eliminates all of these issues with a unique
feature set that includes a one-touch IP conflict resolver and snapshot tool. Simply bring up all of
the cameras out of the box, enter the IP range provided by the customer's IT department and hit
"OK."

Key functions of Illustra Connect are:

• “Resolve All Conflicts” button instantly alerts you to all IP addresses that are the same and
provides a number of options to fix issues

• Greatly reduces installation time by automatically supplying static IP addresses from a
configurable range of IP addresses

• Snapshot views of all of the cameras

• “Save Device List” allows you to create a .csv file of all information regarding the camera
settings

• Set IP addresses via DHCP

• Configure IP settings and rename cameras

• Upload firmware to individual or a selectable group of cameras

• Set date and time or direct the cameras to a specific NTP server

• Assign user name and password

• Uses icons common to victor unified client to display camera status

• Compatible with American Dynamics IP cameras

Install and Detect the Illustra 625 PTZ Camera

The following provides detailed information for installing and accessing the dome.

Installation using DHCP and Illustra Connect

The following provides information for installing the dome on your network using the Illustra
Connect discovery tool.

Illustra Connect enables automatic discovery of compliant devices on IP networks and is the
recommended method for installation and detection of the dome on the network.

The Illustra Connect will only discover devices on the same subnet as it’s host computer.
Therefore the dome and the computer being used to configure it must be on the same subnet.

Procedure 2-1 Installing the Illustra 625 PTZ Camera using Illustra Connect

Step Action

1 Using the Quick Start Guide install and connect the dome to the computer or network

which will be used for the configuration and power on.

The dome will begin its initial boot up sequence which will take approximately 1 to 2
minutes.

2 When using a DHCP Server the dome will automatically be assigned a Network IP

address.

3 Using a computer which is connected to the same network and subnet, install the Illustra

Connect software that is provided with the dome. Refer to the Illustra Connect manual for
more information.

4 When the installation is complete, run Illustra Connect. It will search the network and

display all compliant devices, including the dome.

5 Select the dome you wish to configure, locating it by it’s unique MAC address. Illustra

Connect allows basic configuration of the dome.

Refer to the Illustra Connect manual for more information.

6 Right-click the dome and select Launch Web GUI Configuration.
7 Refer to the Web Configuration chapter for details on how to log in to the dome and modify

the configuration.

Procedure 2-2 Installing the Illustra 625 PTZ Camera using DHCP Server Logs

Step Action

1 Using the Quick Start Guide install and connect the dome to the computer or network

which will be used for the configuration and power on.

The dome will begin its initial boot up sequence which will take approximately 1 to 2
minutes.

2 When using a DHCP Server the dome will automatically be assigned a Network IP

Address.

3 View the DHCP Server system logs and make note of the IP address assigned to the

dome.

4 Open Microsoft Internet Explorer and enter the URL of the dome as shown in the DHCP

Server log.

The computer being used to configure the dome must have an IP address on the
same subnet.

5 Refer to the Web Configuration chapter for details on how to log in to the dome and

modify the configuration.

Installation without a DHCP Server using a Static IP Address

The following provides information for installing the dome on your network when no DHCP Server
is available. In this situation the dome will be assigned a Static IP Address.

1 We recommend that once you are logged into the Web Configuration pages you change the

Static IP Address of the dome so that conflicts can be avoided when using the same Static IP
Address to setup additional cameras. Refer to
address of the dome.

2 In a situation where IP address conflicts arise, Illustra Connect can be used to discover the

device. Refer to IP Address Conflicts in the Illustra Connect User Guide for further information.
