Introduction1/15

The camera supports network oper ation. By simply connecting a LAN cable to it, you can construct the most
advanced network monit or ing s yst em. From the Web browser (Internet Explorer) installed on your PC, you
can operate the camera via the network in an easy-to-use manner.

In addition, it is a PoE product that can be power ed through a LAN cable, so you can install it in loc ations
where there is no power outlet nearby.

The camera has 4-megapixel CMOS sensor t hat produces clear images at ultra- high resolution.
The camera can deliver full HD H.264 vide o throughout the network. Connect ing a high- definition monitor to

your PC enables full high-definition video monitoring.
The camera supports both H.264 vi deo and J PEG image compression formats, which y ou c an cho os e from

depending on the network environment.

The camera offers the focus assis t function that supports focus ad jus tm ent at megapixel image resolution,
allowing you to fine-tune the focus in optimal conditions in an easy manner.

The camera's motion sensor fu nc tion can work in conjunction with any external alarm device, facilitating the
construction of a high-lev el security syste m.

Installing associated software applications on your PC further extends the capabilities of your surveillance system.

Introduction 8/15

After connecting an alarm device, configure the input conditions for the corresponding alarm input
cable via network operat ion on the ALA RM SETTING S sc r een.

To use the alarm input cable as Day/Night switching signal path, follow the steps below.
( (This function is support ed only by VDC-HD3300P/VDC-HD3300.))

Under [DAY/NIGHT], set [DAY/NIGHT] to “COLOR” and select the cable you want t o use in [EXT
ALARM].

On the ALARM SETTINGS screen, in [POLARIT Y], s elec t the signal polarity of the alarm input
terminal.

Connecting an external switch to ALARM IN1 allows you to set the system clock by operating the
switch. To set the system clock, configure the [CLOCK IN] setting on the CLOCK SETTINGS screen.

Alarm Output Terminal Connection

Connect a buzzer, lamp, or other alar m device to the alarm output cable.

ALARM OUT1: Orange

ALARM OUT2: Brown

After connecting an alarm device, configure the output co nditions for the correspon ding alar m output
cable via network operat ion on the ALA RM SETTING S sc r een.

Configuration of alarm output terminal is also possible via remote operation. For that, set [ALARM
OUT] to “REMOTE” on the ALARM SETTIN GS (ALARM OUT ) scre en.

Introduction 9/15

Use a LAN cable no longer than 100 m (109.4 yards) with the shield type CAT5 or higher.
The supported Web browser is Internet Explorer Ver.6.0 SP2 or higher, or Internet Explorer Ver.7.0.

About the internet connection

Port forwarding for the video port must be enabled on the broadband router.
For details on how to set port forward ing, please refer to your router ' s Ins truc tion manual.

To connect two or more cameras, on the NETWOR K SETTINGS s creen, assign them with port
numbers that are different from that of the first camera.

Using PoE

This camera supports PoE (Power over Ethernet). This means that you can install the camera in locations where
there is no 24-VAC/12-VDC power outlet nearby.

When using PoE to power the camera, do not use th e camera' s power term inals.
Do not power the PoE hub or PoE power adapter until you finish connecting the camer a.

doing so would be extremely difficult.

When focus cannot be adjusted normally because the video images are too dark or too bright, adjust
the lens iris first ( B ).

The focus must be readjusted if the camera has lost focus due to difference in the subject distance or
ambient temperature, the det er ior ation of the lens and installation environment, and the like that have
been caused over the years.

2 Check your operating environment

3 Connect the camera to the network to which your PC is also connected.

4 Configue the network information on your PC

You need to configure information such as the IP address of your PC.

5 Install the “H.264 Plug-in” from the supplied CD-ROM onto your PC.

Double-click the “setup.exe” icon and complete the ste ps in the wizar d.
You are now ready to monitor the surveillance video in the H.264 format.

6 Access the camera from your Web browser.

From your Web browser (Internet Explorer), access the camera and log into the system as an “admin” user
(administrator).

7 Monitor live video.

When you access the camera and log into the syst em , liv e v ideo from the camera appears on the live screen.

If the live screen display s no or distorted video, check your operating environment and connection
conditions.

8 Configure the necessary settings on the administrator configuration screens.

Although the camera is already c onfigured with the factory default settings so that you can monitor liv e v ideo
immediately after you log into the system, you need to configure neces s ar y settings according to your installation

This camera offers the built-in motion sensor function that automatically dete cts motion in the subject.
The motion sensor detects an alarm condition in three ways as follows.

A Disabling motion detection in masked areas

B Detecting motion in specific areas

You cannot configure the motion sensor function if the electronic sensitivity boosting (SENSE UP) or
the long exposure shutter mo de (LONG) is enabled.

Use the motion masking function to detect motion in the whole screen area, except for masked areas.
Set a mask over any swaying tree, flickering light source, or other object to prevent unwanted detection.

Contact your network admin is trator and ask him/her to change the security settings.

I cannot access the camera from within m y home/company netwo rk.

1 The PC and camera IP addresses (local addresses) are configured with different sub net masks.

To use a PC and a camera within the same network, their subnet masks must be the same.
Change settings so that the PC and camera hav e the s am e sub net mask.

2 The Web browser you are using is configured to connect to the Internet via proxy server.

Change the Web browser setting s so tha t the use of proxy se rver is disable d.

3 The address you are trying to access is not a local address.

Enter a local address to access a camera located in the same networ k.
You cannot access a camera by entering a URL (or router

g

lobal address and camera port numb er )

registered with the dynamic DNS serv ic e or a URL that is compl i ant with the global address.

I cannot access the camera from th e Internet.

1 There is a wrong network setting in the camera.

Configure the default gateway correctly. When using the dynam ic DNS servi ce, check whether the
entered DNS server address and dom ain nam e reg i s tered with the dynamic DNS service are
correct.

2 Registration to the dynamic DNS service is yet to be done. (When using the dynamic DNS service)

Go to the dynamic DNS service site and check that the address for your camera is correc tly
registered.

3 Port forwarding is not configured on your router.

Port forwarding must be confi gured on your router for you to be able to access a camera from the
Internet. For the configuration method, refer to your router's instruction manual.
