General Information

Antenna

This guide provides information on installing and setting up Honey well's iPCAM-WI2 (white)
and iPCAM-WI2B (black) Cameras. This camera is ideal for monitoring your home, business
or public facilities. Some major features of this camera are:

 Wired or Wireless communications to a router or access point. Wireless commun ications

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

 Color video can be monitored through your Total Connect remote services account. Up to

6 cameras can be used.

IMPORTANT: This camera is for indoor use only. DO NOT mount this camera within one [1]
foot of any wireless device.

To utilize this camera, you must have

:

 An AlarmNet account for a GSM or Internet communicator, or a “Video Services Only”

account.

 Total Connect account. (If an account does not exist, the dealer should use the Alar mNet

Direct 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
Wireless Access Point for connection to your router.

Antenna Connector – Orient the antenna
vertically. Used for wireless

connectivity.

Layout Considerations:

 Depending on layout and distances, one or more WAPs may be needed.

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

associated WAP.

 Each WAP must be spaced 5 to 10 feet from other wireless devices.

 Wireless distance may be reduced by thick walls, wire lath, and large metal objects.

 In multiple camera installations, ensure the correct power transformer is used with

each camera.

 Secure all wires with cable ties.

 Refer to each camera or ACU’s installation guide for detailed informatio n.

1. Assemble and mount the camera 2. Power and configure wireless security

1. Attach the camera to its stand. Ensure the stand's screw post is fully seated in the camera's threaded
mount.

2. Tighten the locking nut on the stand's threaded post.

3. If using wireless connectivity

, attach the antenna to the camera. Orient the antenna vertically and

tighten the knurled connector.

4. If mounting the camera to a vertical or overhead surface, use the mounting holes on the base plate
along with screws that are suitable for the mounting surface.

5. Connect the Power Transformer wire to the Power Connector on the camera back. At this time
DO NOT plug the power transformer in.

IMPORTANT: In order for the camera to be placed in the wired mode, the Ethernet cable must be
connected first, then power applied. Likewise in order for the camera to be placed in the wireless
mode, ensure the Ethernet cable is NOT connected, then apply power.

6. Refer to the diagram below, and determine which configuration applies. After the configuration wiring
is complete, plug the Power Transformer into a non-switchable power outlet.

7. Refer to the configurations below, then follow the directions on the right.

If you have Configuration #1 – Connect each camera to the router using an Ethernet
cable. Ensure power is applied. The camera installation is DONE.

If you have Configuration #2 – Ensure power is applied. Complete all the steps below.

If you have Configuration #3 – You must attach the optional Honeywell WAP Wireless

Access Point to the router, and ensure power is applied. Then complete all the steps
below.

NOTES:
 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. Verify that all cameras exhibit good communica tions as indicated by a
STEADY GREEN Power LED and a Network LED that occasionally BLINKS GREEN.

 If using more than one wireless camera, each must be configured for wireless security.
 Ensure your router is configured for DHCP. If you are unsure, access the router's

configuration page and set it for DHCP (refer to the router's manual). If you are using a
wireless router that supports WPS instead of the Honeywell WAP, please refer to the
manufacturer’s guide to setup wireless security.

Configuring Wireless Security

:

When initially powered up, the camera and WAP use the same default AES key and
encryption parameters. You should create a new AES key to ensure your wireless devices
are associated with your WAP. To create a new AES key, please perform the steps below.

1. Ensure an Ethernet cable is not connected to the camera, then plug the camera’s Power
Transformer into an outlet. Wait for the Power indicator to light steady.

2. Press and hold the WPS button on the router or WAP Wireless Access Point for

3 seconds, then RELEASE.

3. Within

1 minute, click and RELEASE the WPS button on the camera.

4. Allow up to 45 seconds for the WPS to complete, then verify successful wireless security
as indicated by a STEADY GREEN Power LED and a Network LED that occasionally
BLINKS GREEN. If these indicators are present you are done.

5. Repeat the steps above for each camera.

Unsuccessful Wireless Security Indications

NETWORK LED Indicator Comment / Action

BLINKING AMBER Camera is searching for a WPS router or the Honeywell

WAP Wireless Access Point.
Try the following:

1. Allow up to 45 seconds for the Network LED to turn
BLINKING GREEN.

2. If it remains BLINKING AMBER, repeat steps 1 thru
4 in the

Configuring Wireless Security

procedure.

STEADY AMBER WPS configuration was unsuccessful.

Repeat steps 1 thru 4 in the

Configuring Wireless

Security

procedure above.

NOTE: If the camera is being used in a wireless mode and the Reset button on the back of
the camera is used, you must reconfigure wireless security for that camera.

3. Enroll or edit the camera(s) in AlarmNet Direct

You will need the following information:

 AlarmNet Direct account with user name and password.
 Customer account number for the AlarmNet communicator or “Video Services Only” account.
 MAC ID for each camera. The MAC ID is on the box and the camera back.

Dealers can enroll the camera and set up a Total Connect account for their customer s by
visiting the AlarmNet Direct website:
https://services.alarmnet.com/AlarmNetDirect/

 Go to the online help and;

 For customers with no AlarmNet accounts – follow the procedure for “

Creating a Video

Services Only Account

.”

 For customers with an existing “Video Only” account – just add the new camera.

 For customers with an existing AlarmNet GSM or Internet communicator account –

ensure the account number is green (registered) and the Has Remote Service Capabilities

icon is

present. Then just add the new camera.

When the camera is set up and the customer’s Total Connect account is established ,
they can view their video by visiting: http://www.mytotalconnect.com/

The cameras are now ready for customer use.

 Have the customer log into their Total Connect account to view the video.

 If their PC does not have QuickTime® and Flash® player, you will be prompted to install or

update these applications.

 If any of the cameras were mounted upside down, there is a setting to upright the imag e.

 At this time the location of each camera can be adjusted for the desired view.

 When adding, editing, or deleting a camera, the customer will receive email notification.

 For detailed camera operation refer to the Total Connect online help guide.
