2. Loosen the three (3) screws securing the dome cover.
3. Carefully lift to open the dome cover and place it on the side of the camera. NOTE: Do not abruptly lift the dome cover; it is attached to the camera with a spring wire.
For use with an Exterior-grade Ethernet
cable (not included in the package).
For use with a 3/8” flexible conduit (not
included in the package).
For use with 1/2” flexible conduit (not
included in the package)
NOTE: The bundled conduit gland may vary.
Check the conduit gland that came with your
package to determine if 3/8” or 1/2" is the
suitable flexible conduit size.
or
Step 3: Prepare for Waterproof Installation
The camera comes with two (2) glands used for waterproof installation:
Cable Gland: For use with an Exterior-grade Ethernet cable. Exterior-grade Ethernet
cables are already waterproof. Waterproof Solution with Naked Cable on page 6.
Conduit Gland: For use with a flexible conduit. This solution is recommended when an
exterior-grade Ethernet cable is not available or when other input/output devices or external
power adapter will be connected to the camera (select models only). See Waterproof
Solution with Conduit on page 8.
Determine the type of waterproof solution that is applicable to your installation requirements and
prepare the necessary accessories or purchase extra materials.
This section describes the procedures to waterproof the cabling connections using the bundled
conduit gland and flexible conduit. This is the recommended when an exterior-grade Ethernet cable
is not available or if other input/output devices or an external power adapter will be connected to the
camera (select models only).
1. Prepare the following materials for waterproof installation:
2. Disassemble the bundled conduit gland as shown below:
NOTE:In this installation, the conduit gland body can be securely attached to the camera; therefore
the use of lock nut is not necessary. Please set the lock nut aside.
3. Pull the network cable through the flex conduit.
NOTE: For camera models that support external power adaptor, audio in/out, or digital
input/output (DI/DO) functions, route the cables without connectors through the flex conduit
together with the network cable. The connectors will be attached later after the cables pass
through the conduit hole of the camera.
4. Insert the clamping nut through the flex conduit.
5. Insert the sealing inside and attach it at the end of the flex conduit.
6. Screw the conduit gland body to the conduit hole of the camera.
Attach to Side Conduit Hole Attach to Bottom Conduit Hole
7. If the cable will be routed along the ceiling, skip to step 8. If the cable will pass through the ceiling, do the following:
a. Pull the network cable and other cables (if any) through the bottom conduit hole.
1. If necessary, insert a memory card (not supplied) into the card slot of the camera.
2. Align the camera screw holes and the conduit hole (if necessary) to the holes on the ceiling and
attach the three (3) supplied screws to secure the camera.
CAUTION: When using electric screwdrivers, be careful not to touch the internal camera
components while attaching the screws. Since electric screwdrivers vary in sizes, speed, and
force, they may bruise and damage the internal camera components.
DISCLAIMER: Inaxsys Security Systems Inc. will not be responsible for camera damage caused
by improper installations or the misuse of equipment for installation.
1. If the cable will be routed along the ceiling, pull the network cable through the side conduit
hole and attach the clamping nut to the conduit gland body. If the cable passes through the ceiling, skip to step 2.
Using Flex Conduit Using Naked Cable
NOTE: For camera models that support external power adaptor, audio in/out, or digital
input/output (DI/DO) functions, route the cables without connectors through the flex conduit
together with the network cable. Once cables pass through the conduit hole of the camera, attach
the bundled connectors.
For more information on connecting these cables, please refer to the camera model hardware
manual downloadable from the website (www.inaxsys.com).
2. Connect the network cable to the Ethernet port of the camera.
NOTE: For models with other connectors (e.g. power adaptor, DI/DO, etc.), connect the cables to
their corresponding connectors. Sample image below.
For more information on connecting these cables, please refer to the camera model hardware
manual downloadable from the website (www.inaxsys.com).
Step 6: Access the Camera Live View
See Accessing the Camera Live View on page16 for more information.
Step 7: Adjust the Viewing Angle and Focus
Based on the Live View, adjust the viewing angle and orientation of the camera. Adjustments vary
per model, for detailed information, please refer to the following sections:
For IN-DO1MIRF, IN-DO2MIRF, IN-DO3MIRF & IN-DO5MIRF camera models, see page
24.
For IN-DO2MIRVSLL, IN-DO1MIRV, IN-DO2MIRV, IN-DO3MIRV & IN-DO5MIRV
To be able to connect to the camera firmware from your PC, both the camera and the PC have to be
connected to each other via Ethernet cable. At the same time, the camera has to have its own power
supply. In case of PoE cameras, you can use a PoE Injector or a PoE Switch between the camera
and the PC. The cameras that have the DC power connectors may be powered on by using a power
adaptor.
The Ethernet port LED or Power LED of the camera will indicate that the power supply for the camera
works normally.
Configure the IP Addresses
In order to be able to communicate with the camera from your PC, both the camera and the PC have
to be within the same network segment. In most cases, it means that they both should have very
similar IP addresses, where only the last number of the IP address is different from each other. There
are 2 different approaches to IP Address management in Local Area Networks – by DHCP Server or
Manually.
Using DHCP server to assign IP addresses:
If you have connected the computer and the camera into the network that has a DHCP server
running, then you do not need to configure the IP addresses at all – both the camera and the PC
would request a unique IP address from DHCP server automatically. In such case, the camera will
immediately be ready for the access from the PC. The user, however, might not know the IP address
of the camera yet. It is necessary to know the IP address of the camera in other to be able to access
it by using a Web browser.
The quickest way to discover the cameras in the network is to use the simplest network search,
built in the Windows system – just by pressing the “Network” icon, all the cameras of the local area
network will be discovered by Windows thanks to the UPnP function support of our cameras.
In the example below, we successfully found the camera model that we had just connected to the
network.
By double-clicking the mouse button on the camera model it is possible to automatically launch the
default browser of the PC with the IP address of the target camera filled in the address bar of the
browser already.
If you work with our cameras regularly, then there is even a better way to discover the cameras in
the network – by using IP Utility. The IP Utility is a light software tool that can not only discover the
cameras, but also list lots of valuable information, such as IP and MAC addresses, serial numbers,
firmware versions, etc, and allows quick configuration of multiple devices at the same time.
With just one click, you can launch the IP Utility and there will be an instant report as follows:
You can quickly notice the camera model in the list. Click on the IP address to automatically launch
the default browser of the PC with the IP address of the target camera filled in the address bar of the
browser already.
If there is no DHCP server in the given network, the user may have to assign the IP addresses to
both PC and camera manually to make sure they are in the same network segment.
When the camera is plugged into network and it does not detect any DHCP services, it will
automatically assign itself a default IP:
192.168.0.100
Whereas the default port number would be 80. In order to access that camera, the IP address of the
PC has to be configured to match the network segment of the camera.
Manually adjust the IP address of the PC:
In the following example, based on Windows 7, we will configure the IP address to 192.168.0.99 and
set Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0 by using the steps below:
Manually adjust the IP addresses of multiple cameras:
If there are more than 1 camera to be used in the same local area network and there is no DHCP
server to assign unique IP addresses to each of them, all of the cameras would then have the initial
IP address of 192.168.0.100, which is not a proper situation for network devices – all the IP
addresses have to be different from each other. The easiest way to assign cameras the IP addresses
is by using IP Utility:
With the procedure shown above, all the cameras will have unique IP addresses, starting from
192.168.0.101. In case there are 20 cameras selected, the last one of the cameras would have the IP
192.168.0.120.
Later, by pressing the “Refresh” button of the IP Utility, you will be able to see the list of cameras with
their new IP addresses.
Please note that it is also possible to change the IP addresses manually by using the Web browser.
In such case, please plug in only one camera at a time, and change its IP address by using the Web
browser before plugging in the next one. This way, the Web browser will not be confused about two
devices having the same IP address at the same time.
Now that the camera and the PC are both having their unique IP addresses and are under the same
network segment, it is possible to use the Web browser of the PC to access the camera.
You can use any of the browsers to access the camera, however, the full functionality is provided
only for Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The browser functionality comparison:
* When using non-Internet Explorer browsers, free third-party software plug-ins must be installed to
the PC first to be able to get the live video feed from the camera. Check the firmware version of the
camera to determine which plug-in is necessary:
The camera firmware version can be found on the FW Version column of the IP utility or access the
Setup page of the Web Configurator (see page 23).
Disclaimer Notice: The camera manufacturer does not guarantee the compatibility of its cameras with
VLC player or QuickTime – since these are third party softwares. The third parties have the right to
modify their utility any time which might affect the compatibility. In such cases, please use Internet
Explorer browser instead.
When using Internet Explorer browser, the ActiveX control for video stream management will be
downloaded from the camera directly – the user just has to accept the use of such control when
prompted so. No other third party utilities are required to be installed in such case.
The following examples in this manual are based on Internet Explorer browser in order to
cover all functions of the camera.
Assuming that the camera’s IP address is 192.168.0.100, you can access it by opening the Web
browser and typing the following address into Web browser’s address bar:
http://192.168.0.100
Upon successful connection to the camera, the user interface called Web Configurator would
appear together with the login page. The HTTP port number was not added behind the IP address
since the default HTTP port of the camera is 80, which can be omitted from the address for
convenience.
Before logging in, you need to know the factory default Account and Password of the camera.
