This guide provides information on installing and setting up Honeywell's iPCAM-PT2A Camera. This camera is ideal for monitoring your home, business or public facilities.

With the addition of the Auto-Calibration Correction feature, IPCAM-PT2A DOES NOT spin on its pedestal upon software reset. The camera spins only upon power-up or a manual Pan/Tilt command.

Camera features include:

• Wired or Wireless communications to a router or access point. Wireless communications

utilizes the 802.11b/g/n protocol with WPS security. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a standard for easy setup of a secure wireless network.

• Pan and Tilt Color video can be controlled and monitored through your Total Connect

remote services account. Up to 6 cameras can be used.

• Auxiliary LED lighting that improves the quality of video up to 15 feet (4.5m) in low-level

light situations.

IMPORTANT: This camera is for indoor use only. To avoid damage to the drive mechanism, do not manually pan or tilt the camera. DO NOT mount this camera within 1 foot (0.3m) of any wireless device.

• An AlarmNet account for a cellular or Internet communicator, or a “Video Services Only”

account.

• Total Connect account. (If an account does not exist, the dealer should use the AlarmNet

website to set up a Total Connect account for the customer.)

• Internet access with a router capable of DHCP hosting. For wireless, the router must also

support one button WPS data encryption. If this is not available, order the Honeywell WAP-PLUS Wireless Access Point for connection to your router.

• Blinking Green – Camera initialization period, allow up to 2 minutes.

• Steady Green – Camera is initialized and power is on.

• Off – No user is monitoring the camera.

• Blinking Green – User(s) are monitoring the camera.

• Steady Green – Wireless / LAN is available.

• Blinking Green – Network transfers.

• Blinking Amber – Indicates a WPS

configuration is in process.

A camera installation can be as simple as installing one camera, or up to six cameras per Total Connect account. In large installations it may include a mix of wireless, and wired cameras.

The installer should work closely with the customer to achieve a satisfactory installation.

• Depending on layout and distances, one or more WAP-PLUS units may be

needed.

• Wireless distance may be reduced by thick walls, wire lath, and large metal

objects.

• When setting up a wireless configuration in very large buildings or buildings with

dense walls, wireless communications may be marginal. It is best to first configure the system’s wireless security in the same room (within 20 feet, 6m). Upon successful configuration, place each camera in the desired location, and verify in Total Connect that everything works.

• For installations where multiple WAP-PLUS units are used, label the units to

indicate which IP cameras are linked to which WAP-PLUS.

• Each IP camera or ACU (Analog Converter Unit) will communicate through its

associated WAP-PLUS.

• Each WAP-PLUS must be spaced at least 4 feet (1.2m) from other wireless

devices.

• Ensure each device uses the correct power transformer. When needed, secure

wires with cable ties.

• Refer to the installation guides for the WAP-PLUS, ACU (Analog Converter Unit),

The wireless range and bandwidth (data rate) are dependent on the wireless technology used; as determined by the 802.11b/g/n specifications. This determines the range and data transfer rate. For instance under ideal conditions,

802.11 g provides up to 125 ft. (38m) range, and 54Mbits/s data rate, and

802.11 n provides up to 230 ft. (70m) range, and 150Mbits/s data rate.

Other factors that reduce the range are thick walls, wire lath, large metal objects, and the number of cameras sending data.

Because of the many variables, the best way to determine if the installation is successful, is to test the finished installation by logging into the Total Connect website and checking each camera.

there is vibration, or the mounting surface is very small you may wish to use the mounting plate. This will ensure that the camera is not disturbed by vibration or the wires being tugged.

1. If mounting to a vertical or overhead surface, use the mounting plate. Use all three holes in the mounting plate with screws that are suitable for the surface; do not use flat-head screws.

2. Slide the camera onto the mounting plate until fully seated as indicated by a clicking sound.

3. Orient the antenna vertically.

4. Connect the

IMPORTANT: If you need a longer power transformer cable (6 ft., 1.8m), you can order the iPCAM-EXT extension cable. This will add 9 feet (2.7 meters) to the supplied transformer for a total of 15 feet (4.5 meters). You may use ONLY one power extension cable.

NOTE: THE TRANSFORMER MUST BE POWERED BY A

OUTLET.

5. Refer to the diagram below, and determine which configuration applies.

Refer to the configuration illustrations, below left.

Connect each camera to the router with an Ethernet cable.

Then plug the Power Transformer into an outlet. Camera installation is DONE.

: Complete all the steps below.

: Connect the optional Honeywell WAP-PLUS Wireless

Access Point to the router, then complete the steps below.

NOTES:

• In order for the camera to be configured in wired mode, the Ethernet cable must be connected first, then apply power.

• In order for the camera to be configured in wireless mode, make sure NO Ethernet cable is connected. Apply power.

• When setting up a wireless configuration in very large buildings or buildings with dense walls, wireless communications may be marginal. It is best to first configure the system in the same room. Then upon successful configuration, place each camera in the desired location.

• If using more than one wireless camera, each must be configured for wireless security. Configure one camera at a time.

• If using a router instead of Honeywell's WAP-PLUS, ensure that the router is configured for DHCP. (This is the default setting for most routers.) If you are unsure, access the router's configuration settings and enable DHCP (refer to the router's manual).

Each IP camera or ACU must be configured separately. Follow these steps:

1. Ensure the WAP-PLUS is on and fully booted (allow 2 minutes for the boot process to complete).

2. Ensure an Ethernet cable is NOT connected to the IP camera. Then plug the IP camera’s Power Transformer into an outlet. Ensure the camera is powered up and fully booted (allow 2 minutes for the boot process to complete).

3. At the Router or WAP-PLUS, press and hold the WPS button for

, then RELEASE. The WAP-PLUS Security light starts blinking.

Other wireless access points may operate differently.

4. At the camera, within

, click and RELEASE the WPS button.

5. The indicator LED will blink amber during the WPS process, then turn green. Allow up to 45 seconds for the WPS process to complete.

6. Repeat the steps above for each camera.

You will need the following information:

• MAC ID for each camera. The MAC ID is on the camera bottom and the carton.

• AlarmNet account with user name and password.

If you do not have the AlarmNet account number, you may use the MAC ID of your communicator or alarm panel.
