from most potential accidents during transportation.
Procedure 1 Connecting the wires
To connect the wires to the correct tables, complete the following steps:
Step Action
1Connect the power cable to the power plugs with on of the following options:
aDC12V: Connect 12V(- ) to terminal = DC 12V-, and connect 12V(+ ) to terminal =DC
12V+

Illustra Flex 3MP and 8MP Indoor Box Quick Start Guide
2Insert the audio cable and alarm cable to the unit, and connect the network cable to the RJ-
45 terminal of a switch.
Note:The power source needs to be NEC Class 2 or LPS. The PoE connection should be provided
by a UL Listed product and the connections shall be made in accordance with Article 800 of the NEC
or local regulations.
CAUTION
Procedure 2 Mounting the camera
To mount the camera, complete the following steps:
Step Action
NOTE
If using DCsupply, make sure the polarity is correct. Incorrect connection can cause malfunction
and/or damage.
- End -
1Attach the camera unit to a pendant mount (not supplied), and insert and tighten the screws
on the tripod receptacle into the screw holes on the base.
2Mount the camera unit onto the ceiling or wall and fasten securely.
3Connect the Safety Wire (Fall Prevention Wire, not supplied). One end connects to the wall
or ceiling and the other connects to the safety-cord screw of the camera unit.
Depending on the material of the mounting surface, different screws and anchors than those
supplied may be required. To prevent the unit from falling off, ensure that it is mounted to a firm
place, such as a ceiling slab or channel, using a safety wire strong enough to withstand the total
weight of the unit. Safety wire must be connected with one end the wall or ceiling and the other to the
safety cord screw of the unit. This helps prevent the unit from falling.

Illustra Flex 3MP and 8MP Indoor Box Quick Start Guide
Network Connection
Default IP Address
Since this is a network-based unit, an IP address must be assigned at the very first bootup. The
default IP address of the unit is 192.168.1.168 and sub mask is 255.255.255.0.
However, if you have a DHCP server in your network, the unit obtains an IP address automatically
from the DHCP server so that you do not need to change the IP address of the camera.
Note:If you assign the camera a Static IP address prior to DHCP being enabled, the camera first
reboots for approximately 30 seconds and then remains accessible at its Static IP until it connects to
a DHCP server.
• Connect to a PC directly: Directly connect the camera to a PC using a standard Ethernet
cable. This requires POE switch or injector.
• Connecting a camera to a Local Area Network (LAN): To add the camera to an existing
LAN, connect the camera to the POE hub or switch on your network.

2Check whether if the network is available between the unit and the computer by pinging the
default IP address.
aStart a command prompt.
bType “Ping 192.168.1.168”. If the message “Reply from…” appears, it means the con-
nection is available.
3Start Internet Explorer and enter IP address: 192.168.1.168. A login window appears. In the
window, enter the default user name: admin and password: admin to log in.
- End -
DHCP
On initial camera startup, and after a hardware factory reset, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) is enabled by default and remains enabled until the camera receives either a DHCP address
or is assigned a Static IP address.
Procedure 4 Enable DHCP
Step Action
1Select Setup on the Web User Interface banner to display the setup menus.
2Select the TCP/IP tab in the Basic Configuration menu.
3Select the Enable DHCP check box to enable DHCP and disable manual settings.

The camera searches for a DHCP server. If one is found it connects to that server. If no connection
is made to a DHCP server within two minutes, the camera goes to the default IP address
192.168.1.168, but continues to search for a DHCP address.
Note:If you assign the camera a Static IP address prior to DHCP being enabled, the camera first
reboots for approximately 30 seconds and then remains accessible at its Static IP until it connects to
a DHCP server.
- End -
Procedure 5 Disable DHCP
Step Action
1Select Setup on the Web User Interface banner to display the setup menus.
2Select the TCP/IP tab in the Basic Configuration menu.
