Lens Requirements

The camera is supplied with a CS mount varifocal lens.
Other CS mount lenses can be used. The camera supports DC

direct drive auto-iris lenses via a standard 4-pin EIAJ connector
on the camera back panel.

Powering Up the Fixed IP Camera

The camera is a Power Over Ethernet (PoE) powered device
compliant with the IEEE802.3af standard. The 8000 camera
variants dissipate 7W maximum power, with the 9000 variants
dissipating 8W maximum.

There are four methods of powering up the camera:

• Using a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch

• Using a PoE Injector

• Using a PoE Midspan

• Using Auxiliary Power (24v AC/DC)
These methods are detailed below.

Using a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch

To power up the camera using a PoE-compliant switch, attach a
CAT5 cable between the camera and the PoE switch.

Using a PoE Injector

If a PoE switch is not available, the camera can be powered
using a PoE injector, such as Phihong PSA1GU-480.

using a PoE Midspan.

Using Auxiliary Power

If power from a PoE Ethernet switch, PoE Injector or PoE
Midspan is not available, the camera can be powered using the
auxiliary power input on pins 1 and 2 of the 18-way I/O connector
on the rear of the camera.

Auxiliary power requirements are 24V AC or 24V DC at 290mA
max (7VA max power) for 8000 camera variants, and 334mA
max (8VA max power) for 9000 camera variant. Figure 3 shows
the pin numbering scheme of the I/O connector.

Pin 18

Figure 3 I/O connector pin numbering scheme

Use 18AWG (or 1mm2) figure of eight (or twisted pair) cable to
connect an auxiliary power supply to the camera.

The auxiliary power input to the camera is not polarity sensitive;
therefore a DC power supply can be connected in either polarity.

A 24V DC, 500mA PSU with mains power lead can be ordered
from IndigoVision, the base order code is 110004. Add -1 to the
base order code for a UK IEC mains lead, -2 for a US IEC mains
lead and -3 for an EU IEC mains lead.

Power Up LEDs

When the camera is powered up, the LEDs indicate the following:

LED Color State Meaning

Network/link Yellow Unlit Link is down

Solid Link is up, but there is no

network traffic

INITIAL FIXED IP CAMERA
C

ONFIGURATION

You can configure your Fixed IP Camera using the Web
Configuration pages, or a serial connection. The Web
Configuration method is detailed below. If you are usi ng a serial
connection, see “Using the Serial Port Connection” on page 20.

Initial IP Properties

By default, these cameras are programmed with the IP properties
shown in Table 3.

Table 3 Default IP Properties

Initial Configuration

IP Address 10.5.1.10
Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0
Default Gateway 10.0.0.1

Using the Web Configuration Pages

To configure your camera using the Web Configuration pages
you must:

1 Prepare an isolated network.
2 Prepare your PC for initial device configuration.
3 Configure your camera. This includes specifying its IP

address and subnet mask.

14

You must also have one of the following:

• A CAT5 crossover cable suitable for connection between the
PC and the RJ45 connector on the camera, plus a 24V AC or
DC PSU, OR

• A PoE switch with two standard CAT5 cables, OR

• A PoE injector with one standard CAT5 cable and one CAT5
crossover cable.

Step 1 — Preparing an Isolated Network

You should connect your camera and the PC you are using to
configure it on their own isolated network. To do this, connect the
unit to the PC using an Ethernet cross-over cable (see Figure 4.)

Alternatively, you can connect the unit and PC to the same PoE
switch (Figure 5):

A further alternative is to connect the unit to the PC via a PoE

Step 2 — Preparing for Initial Device Configuration

All cameras are supplied with their IP address and subnet mask
set to 10.5.1.10 and 255.0.0.0 respectively. You cannot connect

the cameras to your network until you have changed these
settings to suit your network.

To change the factory defaults of your camera, you must first
(temporarily) modify your PC’s network settings.

Caution: Please note the original value of all settings that are to

be changed so that you can re-enter them when you
have completed the initial camera configuration.

To change your PC’s settings:
1 Use the Windows XP Network Settings configuration

application to set the PC’s IP address and subnet mask, as
follows:

a. In Windows Explorer, right-click Network Neighborhood

and select Properties.

b. Right-click Local Area Network and select Properties.
