Chapter 1. Introduction

High Resolution, Professional Day and Night Network Camera
PLANET ICA-5550V / ICA-5250V PoE IP Camera with IR Illuminator provides high resolution images for round-the-clock surveillance over IP networks. It supports H.264, MPEG-4, and JPEG compression formats and delivers excellent picture quality in 5 mega-pixel resolutions at 15 frames per second (fps) and Full HD resolutions at 30 fps. The ICA-5550V / ICA-5250V is also equipped with IP66-rated and IK-10 vandalproof housing which protect the camera body against rain and dust and ensures operation under extreme weather conditions, thus making it an ideal solution for outdoor applications, e.g. surveillance of buildings, roads, parking areas, garages, railway stations and airports.
Day & Night Functionality
To adapt to constantly changing lighting conditions, the ICA-5550V and ICA-5250V come with a removable IR-cut filter and built-in IR illuminators, which enables the camera to provide color video when there is sufficient light, and black/white video in dark conditions. The camera is able to maintain clear images 24 hours a day.
6
Exceptional Image Quality
Together with powerful image processing attributes like Wide Dynamic Range and 3-Dimension Noise Reduction technology, the camera is able to filter the intense backlight surrounding a subject and remove noises from video signal. The result is that an extremely clear and exquisite picture quality can be produced even under any challenging lighting conditions.
7
Advanced Event Management
The ICA-5550V and ICA-5250V also support a number of advanced features that give the camera increased flexibility and capabilities, including auto-iris for improving the image quality to avoid over exposure, AV out for performing the two-way audio function and inputs/outputs for connecting external devices such as door sensors and relays to activate light or close doors.
Flexible Installation and Power Functionality
The ICA-5550V and ICA-5250V incorporate Power over Ethernet which supplies power to the camera via the network, eliminating the need for power cables and reducing installation costs. The ICA-5550V and ICA-5250V are ONVIF-compliant and therefore interoperable with other manufacturer’s products. It also includes 64-CH central management software. The ICA-5550V and ICA-5250V are indisputably the top choice for reliable and high performance surveillance.
8
Vari-Focal and Camera Tampering Detection Offers the Best Recording Flexibility
The ICA-5550V and ICA-5250V incorporate the mega-pixel vari-focal lens, which has the option of selecting a high millimeter setting for narrow viewing fields or a low millimeter setting for wider viewing fields. The ICA-5550V and ICA-5250V provides three individually configurable motion detection zones. The camera can record video or trigger alarms or alerts when camera image is tampered.

2.2 Physical Description

2.2.1 Identification of ICA-5550V / ICA-5250V Cable

1. RJ-45 LAN socket: Connect to PC or Hub/Switch.
For connection to 10Base-T Ethernet or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling, this Ethernet port built N-Way protocol can detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the network automatically. Please use CAT-5 cable to connect the Network Camera to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network switch or hub.
2. Power Jack: The input power is DC 12V.
1. ONLY use package power adapter supplied with the Internet. Otherwise, the
product may be damaged.

2.2.2 ICA-5550V / ICA-5250V I/O Control Instruction

I/O Connection
Please connect the GND & DO pin to the external relay (buzzer) device.
Please connect the GND & DI pin to the external trigger device.
I/O PIN definition
x GND (Ground): Initial state is LOW
x DO (Digital Output): DC 5V x DI (Digital Input): Max. 50mA, DC 5V

2.3 Hardware Installation

2.3.1 Physical Installation

1. Connector Instruction
Remove the dome cover, and you will see the structure as shown below.
15
Connect power adapter first, then connect the IP Camera to PC or network, and set up the
network configurations according to the network environment.
DC 12V connector for adapter jack plug.
The following picture shows a
1. In order to ensure IP66 waterproof level, please install the vandal dome
according to the instructions.
a. The unused cable outlet hole must be closed, and the waterproof connector on the
used hole must be locked closely.
b. We recommend the bottom of housing be set on the smooth flat and closely seal with the
surface.
c. When you mount the camera housing on the ceiling or wall, please use the screws with the black
16
rubber o-rings. Without the o-ring, the water may seep into the machine.
d. Turn and loose the control stick, shift right and left to adjust the vari-focal lens until the image
becomes clear, then turn and tighten the stick to fix it.
e. Use the 3-Axis bracket to adjust the camera to an appropriate angle.
f. Before you close the dome cover, make sure that the black rubber band sticks to the inside of the
cover completely. Crooked or uneven rubber band may cause the
waterproof defective.
17
g. Lock tightly the screws on the dome cover to ensure there's no gap between the lid and
base.
1. When you connect cables to machine, we advise to use a hose to include all the
cables inside instead of plugging in several cables separately, because water may seep down the gap of cables into machine. You can also seal the connector hole with silicone after installation.
2. PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that integrates power into a standard LAN infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to the network device, such as an IP phone or a network camera, using the same cable as that is used for network connection. It eliminates the need for power outlets at the camera locations and enables easier application for uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to ensure 24 hours a day, 7 days a week operation.

2.4 Initial Utility Installation

This chapter shows how to quickly set up your H.264 camera. The camera is with the default settings. However, to help you find the networked camera quickly the windows utility PLANET IP Installer can search the cameras in the network that will help you to configure some basic setting before you start advanced management and monitoring.
1. Insert the bundled CD into the CD-ROM drive to launch the auto-run program. Once completed, a welcome menu screen will appear.
2. Click the “PLANET IPInstaller II” hyperlink; you will see the dialog box as shown below.
When you install the camera in a LAN environment, you may execute PLANET IP Installer to discover camera’s IP address and set up related parameters in the camera.
1. If the welcome screen does not appear, click “Start” at the taskbar. Then, select “Run” and type “D:\Utility\PLANETIPinstaller\PLANETIPinstaller.exe”, assume D drive is your CD-ROM drive.

2.4.1 Search and Configure Network by PLANET IP Installer

When you install the Camera in a LAN environment, you have two easy ways to search your Cameras by PLANET IP Installer or UPnP discovery. Here is the way to execute PLANET IP Installer to discover Camera’s IP address and set up related parameter in a Camera.
Search and Configure Network
1. OS: Windows XP SP2 or above. If the following “Windows Security Alert” pops up, please click
“Unblock”.
