Introduction1/15

The camera supports network oper ation. By simply connectin g a LAN cable to it , you can construc t the most
advanced network monitoring system. 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 th at 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 that produces clear images at ul tra- high resolution.
The camera can deliver full HD H.264 vide o thr oughout the network. Connect ing a high- definition monitor to

your PC enables full high-definit ion video monitoring.
The camera supports both H.2 64 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 assist function that support s focus ad jus tment at megapixel image resol ution,
allowing you to fine-tune the focus in optimal conditions in an easy manner.

The camera's motion sensor function can work in conjunction with any external alarm device, fac ilitating the
construction of a high-le vel security syste m.

Installing associated software applica tio ns on your PC further extends the capabilities of your surveillance system.

There is no power indicato r on the camera.

Alarm input cable: Connect an external switch, infrared sensor, or other device to detect alarm conditions
such as the entry of an intruder.

Alarm output cable: Connec t a buzzer, lamp, or other alarm device.

Introduction 7/15

Perform the following connec tions according to the installation environmen t and application of your camera.

A Alarm Cable Connection

B Power Connection

C Network Connection

D Camera Monitor Connection

Before attempting the fo llowing connections, be sur e to turn of f all components of your system.
Improper connection may cause smoke or failures. Before at tempting to connect each system

component, carefully read the instruction manual th at com es with it to familiarize yourself with the
correct connection pr oc edur e.

Alarm Input Terminal Connection

Connect an alarm switch, infrar ed s ens or , or other device to detect alarm con ditions to the alarm input cable.

ALARM IN1: Red

ALARM IN2: gray

Introduction 8/15

After connecting an alarm device, configure the input conditions for the corresponding alarm input
cable via network operation on the ALARM SETTINGS screen.

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

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

On the ALARM SETTINGS screen, in [POLAR IT Y], selec 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 oth er alar m device to the alarm output cable.

ALARM OUT1: Orange

ALARM OUT2: Brown

After connecting an alar m devi ce , configure the output condit ions for the corresponding alarm output
cable via network operation on the ALARM SETTINGS screen.

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.

Connect the power terminals (24 VAC/12 VDC) of the camera to a power supply.

A Connection to 24 VAC power supply

Although the power terminals have no polarity, the earth grou nding wir e m ust be connected to the GND (earth
grounding) terminal.

B Connection to 12 VDC power supply

Note the polarity (+/–) of the powe r ter minals when connecting the camera to a 12 VDC power supp ly .
Incorrect polarity may cause damage to the camera.

Be sure to use an 18AWG or thicker wire power cable.
A voltage drop may occur depending on the thickness of the power cable. If you must use a long

power cable, determine the cable type by ensuring that the volt age at t he 24- V AC/12- V DC term inals
is within the operating ran ge of th e camera.

When using PoE to power the camera, do not use th e camera' s power terminals.

This camera is designed so that you can use all of its functions via network operation.
By connecting the network (LAN) socket of the camera to your PC using a LAN cable, you can configure and
operate it from the Web browser ins talled on your PC.

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 por t must be enabled on the broadband rout er .
For details on how to set port forwa rd 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 terminals.
Do not power the PoE hub or PoE power adapter until y ou finish connecting the camera.

A Connecting the PC and camera through a switching hub

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 deterioration of the lens and ins tallation environm ent, and the like that have
been caused over the years.

I cannot access the camera fro m within m y home/ c omp any network.

1 The PC and camera IP addresses (local addresses) are configured with different subnet 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 sam 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 settings so that the use of proxy server is disabled.

3 The address you are trying to acce ss is not a local addr es s .

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

lobal address and camera port number)

registered with the dynamic DNS service or a URL that is compliant with the global address.

I cannot access the camera fro m the Internet.

1 There is a wrong network setting in the camera.

Configure the default gateway correctly. When using the dy nam ic DNS servi c e, chec k whether the
entered DNS server address and dom ain nam e reg is 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 correctly
registered.

3 Port forwarding is not configured on your router.

Port forwarding must be configured 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.
