Video Quality Caution

Frame Rate Notice Regarding User-Selected Options

Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality
modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture
quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution
may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second,
which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event
not being recorded by the system.

Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the
products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in
a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

NORMALLY OPENNORMALLY CLOSED

The camera has an output for activating an external device. It supports both momentary and continuous relay operation.

You can operate the relay interactively during an active connection, or it can operate automatically to coincide with certain events. Typical
applications include turning on lights or other electrical devices or activating a door, gate, or lock.

WARNING: Do not exceed the maximum rating of 12 VDC, 0.15 A.

Figure 9 shows how to wire the relay with its power source to the camera.

Figure 9. Relay Wiring

Connecting Alarms

The camera provides an alarm input for external signaling devices, such as door contacts or motion detectors. Both normally open and normally
closed devices are supported.

Supervised Alarms

When an alarm is configured as a supervised alarm, the camera maintains a constant electrical current through the alarm circuit
(3.3 VDC, 1 ohm). If the alarm circuit length changes, due to an electrical short or a bypass, the voltage fluctuates from its normal state and
activates an alarm.

NOTE: Install the 1-kohm resistor as close to the switch as possible.

Figure 10 illustrates the alarm and no alarm conditions of a supervised alarm input. Whether the alarm is normally closed or normally open,
neither a cut nor a bypass can defeat these alarms.

Figure 11 illustrates the wiring configuration for supervised alarm inputs.

• If you do not know the camera’s IP address, install the Pelco Device Utility software available on the resource disc shipped with the

product. The utility will locate the assigned name, IP address, and MAC address for devices connected to the same virtual local area
network (VLAN) as your computer.

• The Device Utility software is also available at www.pelco.com/software/downloads/.

3. If this is the first time you are accessing the camera, the live video page appears. By default, you are viewing the video as a public user and

only have access to the single stream live view.

If, for security purposes, users should not be allowed to view video without first logging on to the camera, you must change the permissions

for public users (refer to Users and Groups Tab on page 43).

4. Log on to the camera:
a. Click the Login button in the navigation bar; a dialog box appears.

b. Type admin (all lowercase) in the User ID and Password boxes (admin is the default value for these boxes).

5. Click Log In.

NOTE: For security purposes, be sure to change the password after you log on for the first time (refer to Users on page 43).
