MULTIPLE, SIMULTANEOUS VIDEO STREAMS
Dedicated Micros’ unique Visual Signal Processor (ViSP) allows the CamVu720 Series to transmit multiple
simultaneous MPEG-4, H.264 and/ or JPEG images to any number of associated NetVu Connected devices
for image viewing. Each stream can be tailored to suit the viewer’s bandwidth requirements.
CLOSED IPTV
Dedicated Micros’ award winning Closed IPTV solution combines open standard IP protocols with patent
pending innovation to provide simple to install, safe and secure IP video solutions across new or existing
networks.
Automatically allocating IP addresses to IP cameras by physical port, a Closed IPTV system is completely
deterministic, creating rewalls and monitoring point-to-point IP connections so they cannot be hacked
or intercepted. Critical to the security of a Closed IPTV system is the unique implementation of Trusted
Endpoint technology; a secret signature, applied at lock down, enables endpoint devices such as IP
cameras to be secure, immediately triggering a security alert should any interference be detected.
This ground breaking solution provides a very simple and secure answer to IP video, meaning that no prior
knowledge of IP networking is required. Sophisticated and Dependable network security can be achieved
with a single click.

The dome camera can be mounted in two ways: ceiling mount for installation into a tile ceiling; surface
mount for installation directly to a hard surface or mounting structure.
Parts Supplied
• 2 x Plastic anchors
• 2 x 80 mm (3”) screws
Parts Not Supplied
• Optional video service lead (part number DM/ICED-SERV)
Surface Mount Ceiling Mount
Surface Mount Installation
Refer to the Quickstart section for more information.
1 To remove the dome cover, rotate it counter-clockwise and gently pull it away from the camera
body. The inner liner can now be removed.
2 Using the template supplied at the rear of this manual, mark and drill the holes required for
xing. Using the two 80 mm mounting screws, attach the dome camera to the surface as
shown. Do not over tighten the xing screws. The screws can be used on their own if the
surface is of a suitable material (e.g. wood), but plastic anchors must be used where the
surface is of brick or masonry construction. Run the ethernet cable to the camera. Cable may
be fed through the ceiling or through the cutout in the side of the camera shroud. Remove the
cutout with a sharp knife and use a round le to smooth the edges if necessary.
3 Connect the ethernet cable to the RJ45 socket on the mainboard. If the camera is connected
to a switch that is not POE capable, refer to ‘POE Injector Cable‘ and install the POE injector
Refer to the Quickstart section for more information.
1 To recess mount the camera, the shroud must be removed. Gently squeeze together opposite
sides of the shroud as shown and lift it away from the camera body.
2 Using the template supplied at the rear of this manual, mark and cut a 4” (100 mm) diameter
hole. A suitably sized hole saw can also be used.
To prepare for installation use a suitable screwdriver to loosen the three xing clamps
sufciently to accommodate the thickness of the tile or ceiling.
3 Connect the ethernet cable to the RJ45 socket on the mainboard. If the camera is connected
to a switch that is not POE capable, refer to ‘POE Injector Cable ‘ and install the POE injector
cable as described.
4 Insert the camera into the hole. Using a suitable screwdriver, tighten the three xing clamps as
shown. Do not overtighten the clamps.
Camera Adjustment
Camera Position
The camera assembly is adjustable in all three axes. Adjust the camera until it is pointing in the desired
direction.
FOV & Focus
CamVu D720 Minidome
Use the levers on the varifocal lens to adjust the camera’s eld of view, and focus.
Local Video Out
Provision is made for the connection of a local video monitor to assist in setting up the camera. Use the
optional service connector DM/ICED-SERV (not supplied).
1) Connect the camera to a Closed IP Network switch using Cat5 network cable. The POE version
of this camera will draw power from with the DM/NSW/CPP model switch, or with DM/NSW/CP
model switch if connected to a POE injector and separate power supply.
2) Ensure that the Closed IP NVR or Console that the switch is connected to is in Conguration
mode to allow new cameras connect.
3) Power up the camera and wait for the on-screen acknowledgement on the monitor attached
to the Closed IP NVR or Console. Alternatively check the Camera Overview web page on the
Closed IP NVR or Console to determine out the camera status.
4) Once the camera has been detected and added, remember to secure the switch by moving out
of Conguration mode, failure to do this will leave the Closed IPTV system unsecured.
Locating the Unit IP address
The unit is congured using on-board webpages. This can be done remotely once the unit has been installed
in its chosen location, using the web browser on a PC in the same subnet as the unit.
The unit conguration pages can be accessed using the unit IP address or DNS name. The unit has
DHCP factory enabled. When the unit is connected to a DHCP network for the rst time, an IP address is
automatically assigned by the network switch or router it is connected to. Most routers will have the facility to
enable DHCP and DNS, if it is not available, contact your network administrator.
CamVu D720 Minidome
The default DNS address for each unit is factory set as the serial number. This address can be found on the
serial label on the unit or via the packaging the unit came in.
If DHCP and DNS are not available, the IP address can be found by connecting an analogue monitor to
the BNC connection of the camera. The unit IP address is displayed on the analogue video output for 10
minutes from powering the unit on.
The DNS or IP address can be typed directly into the address bar of a web browser.
Note: The unit’s DNS address can be changed subsequently to something more memorable
or meaningful than its serial number by editing the System name option in the System
conguration page.
Zero_conf conguration
If a permanent IP address is not assigned to the unit, it will attempt to contact the DHCP server every
time it starts up, and periodically thereafter. The unit support zero-conguration networking (sometimes
known as Bonjour), this enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks.
Zero-conguration uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each
other without the need to enter IP addresses or congure DNS servers. By loading a suitable free add-on
to your web browser such as Bonjour for Windows for Internet Explorer or BonjourFoxy for FireFox zero
conguration devices such as this unit can easily be discovered and accessed.
The menus under the System Settings heading allow the unit’s core settings to be viewed, changed and the
system software upgraded.
The Attributes option displays details about the unit including the IP address, unit serial number, MAC
address and software version.
The Status page displays information about the unit’s operating condition, shows how long the unit has been
