Mounting the Camera

The camera can be mounted on brackets, in enclosures, or on tripods. The camera
mounting points on the top and bottom of the camera body each have a 1/4”-20 UNC
threaded hole which allow the camera to be mounted with standard photographic
mounting bolts.

Consult the bracket, enclosure or tripod documentation for detailed mounting
instructions.

Connecting Cables

Refer to the camera diagrams in the Overview section for the location of the different
connectors.

To connect the cables required for proper camera operation, complete the following:

1. If there are external input or output devices that need to be connected to the
camera (for example: door contacts, relays, etc), connect the devices to the
camera I/O Terminals.
For more information, see Connecting to Input/Output Devices in the Cable
Connections section.

2. If an external microphone or external video monitor needs to be connected
to the camera, connect the devices to the camera Audio/Video Connector.
For more information, see Connecting to Microphones and Video Monitors
in the Cable Connections section.

3. Connect the Ethernet Port (RJ45 connector) to a network using an Ethernet
network cable. The Link LED will turn on once the camera establishes a link
to the network.

4. Connect power using one of the following methods:

• Power over Ethernet (PoE) Class 3 — If PoE is available, the camera

will automatically be detected when the network cable is connected.

Warning — Use only UL-listed mounting bracket suitable for the mounting
surface and minimum 0.7 kg (1.5 lb) weight.

Caution — This camera is designed for indoor use only.

5

• External Power — Connect an external 12 VDC or 24 VAC power

source to the power connector block.
For more information, see Connecting Power in the Cable
Connections section.

5. Check that the Connection Status LED indicates the correct camera state.
For more information, see the LED Indicators section.

Assigning an IP Address

The camera automatically obtains an IP address by default. Once connected to a
network, the camera attempts to locate and obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. If
this fails, the camera uses Zero Configuration Networking (Zeroconf) to choose an IP
address. When the camera's IP address is set using Zeroconf, its IP address is in the

169.254.0.0/16 subnet.

The camera's IP address settings can be changed using one of the following methods:

• (Recommended) Avigilon Camera Installation Tool software application.

• Camera's web browser interface: http://

<camera IP address>/

• ARP/Ping method. For more information, see Setting the IP Address
through the ARP/Ping Method.

• Network Video Management software application (for example, Avigilon
Control Center).

NOTE: Use the default username (

admin) and the default password (admin) to

access the camera.

Accessing the Live Video Stream

The camera's live video stream can be viewed using one of the following methods:

• (Recommended) Avigilon Camera Installation Tool software application.

• Camera's web browser interface: http://

<camera IP address>/.

• Network Video Management software application (for example, Avigilon
Control Center).

NOTE: Use the default username (

admin) and the default password (admin) to

access the camera.

6

Aiming and Focusing the Camera

Use the Avigilon Camera Installation Tool to aim and focus the camera. Consult the
software user guide for more information.

1. In the Image and Display settings dialog box, use the Zoom controls to
achieve the desired zoom position for the camera.

2. In the Image and Display settings dialog box, use the Auto Focus button to
focus the lens.

If the desired focus position was not achieved, use the focus near and far
buttons to adjust the focus.

For More Information

Additional information about setting up and using the camera is available in the following
guides:

• Avigilon Camera Installation Tool User Guide

• Avigilon Control Center Client User Guide

• Avigilon High Definition H.264 IP Camera User Guide

The manuals are available on the Avigilon website:

http://avigilon.com/support/manuals/.

Caution — Do not attempt to adjust the focus and zoom on the camera itself or
the camera lens may become damaged.

Cable Connections

Connecting Power

NOTE: Do not perform this procedure if the camera is powered through Power over

Ethernet (POE).

If PoE is not available, the camera needs to be powered through the removable power
connector block on the camera. Refer to the camera diagrams for the location of the
power connector block.

The camera can be powered from 12 VDC or 24 VAC. The power consumption
information is listed in the camera specifications.

To connect power to the camera, complete the following steps:

1. Remove the power connector block from the camera.

2. Remove the insulation from ¼” (6 mm) of the power wires.

Do not nick or damage the wires.

3. Insert the two power wires into the two terminals on the camera. The
connection can be made with either polarity.

Use a small slotted (5/64” or 2 mm blade width) screwdriver to loosen and
tighten the terminals.

4. Attach the power connector block back into the receptacle on the camera.

Warning — This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Unit
marked “Class 2” or “LPS” or “Limited Power Source” with output rated between
12 VDC or 24 VAC, 6 W min. or PoE rated 48 VDC, 6 W min.

Connecting to Input/Output Devices

External devices are connected to the camera through the I/O terminal. The pinout for
the I/O terminal is shown in the following table and diagram.

Figure A: External I/O terminal schematics and example application.

Connecting to Microphones and Video Monitors

The camera can be connected to an external microphone and video monitor through the
audio/video connector. The connector is a mini-jack (3.5 mm). It supports a line level
mono audio input and an NTSC or PAL video output. The pinout for the connector is
shown in the following diagram.

The video output signal is determined by the camera flicker control setting. When the
camera flicker control is set to 60 Hz, the video output signal is NTSC. When the flicker
