Scallop Imaging D7-180,D7-180XR Getting Started

Getting Started

D7-180
D7-180XR

Scallop Imaging’s 7 megapixel video surveillance cameras are
the first stand-alone computational imaging systems. The
imaging task is distributed among five powerful microsensors.
The camera’s embedded CPUs synthesize the image data into
one seamless 180° field of view. The embedded web server
will service connection requests and provide clients two
simultaneous video streams:

• A standard 15 fps HD frame comprised of a 1280 x 320

situational awareness (SA) window plus a 1280 x 400 sub
window allocated to up to four detail windows;

• 5120 x1280 full resolution stream at 1 fps.

Connecting the Camera

You can set up and operate the D7-180 and D7-XR Cameras using a
standard JavaScript-enabled browser on Windows 7 or Windows 8.

PoE Operation

The camera can be connected
over a network by a CAT-5 Ether­net cable plugged into the rear of
the camera. If the network sup­ports PoE, power is supplied di­rectly via the Ethernet cable. The
camera can also be powered by
a 12volt power supply that is in­cluded if the network does not
support PoE.

Ethernet

12V DC plug

(not yet supported)

Two O-rings have been
included to aid in
installations, if needed.

The O-rings are intended to
secure the screws before
attaching the camera to
the wall mount. Insert the
screw into the mounting holes
at the top and bottom of the camera. Rolling the
O-ring over the tip of the screw will hold it in
place allowing for easier installation.

Be sure to use appro­priate wall anchors (not
included) to secure the
mount to a drywall
surface.

Software installation

It is necessary that you register your camera as soon as possible at

scallopimaging.com/registration

so that you can download and

install the D7-180 Software Installation Driver files.

It is critically important that you download and install these
drivers before operating the camera. The camera will not oper­ate without installing these files on your computer.

All registered users will be able to remotely download and install all
future camera software upgrades at no charge from the
scallopimaging.com website. We can notify you when future software
enhancements become available.

Accessing the Camera

On a network

Scallop Imaging IP cameras are IPV4LL compliant. If you have a DHCP server
on your network, the DHCP server “router” will assign the camera an IP ad­dress automatically. If a DHCP server “router” is not on the network, the cam­era will be assigned a 169.254.x.x address. If you are setting up the camera
without a DHCP server “router” you will need to set your computer to obtain
and IP address.

Examples:

Established network:

1. Set laptop to obtain an IP address automatically.

2. Connect and power all devices.

3. Cameras will show in camera finder with individual 169.254.x.x addresses.

Laptop. Multiple Scallop cameras, PoE switch:

1. Set laptop to obtain an IP address automatically.

2. Connect and power all devices.

3. Cameras will show in camera finder with individual 169.254.x.x addresses.

Once you access the camera you
can change its mode from DHCP to
Static. See the network settings sec­tion for more detail.

Also provided is a Bonjour for
Windows discovery utility.

This stand-alone program has been
provided for easy access to the
camera.

To use it, simply start the application and a window (above) will appear.

Click on Web Server (HTTP) on the left column and devices with the
Bonjour naming protocol will be shown on the right hand column. Each
D7-180 camera will be named “D7180_cam_****”, and each D7-180XR
will be named “D7XR_CAM_****.” The **** will be the last 4 digits of the
MAC address of the camera. The MAC address can be found printed
on the rear label of each camera.

Note: The Bonjour networking protocol sends and receives net­work packets on UDP port 5353. The Bonjour installer will configure

the Windows firewall appropriately during installation on supported sys­tems, but if you have a separate "personal firewall" enabled, you will
need to ensure that UDP port 5353 is open for Bonjour to work cor­rectly. The Bonjour for Windows discovery utility is subject to change.

Once you have found the camera in the Bonjour for Windows program
simply click on its name and your default browser will open the cam­era's built-in web interface.

The first window that will appear will
be the login screen.

You can log on to the camera using the
default username and password.

• The default user name is: admin.

• The default password is: password.

Live Feed Screen

After logging in, you will be brought to the
D7-180/D7-180XR browser site. By default,
the “Live Feed” tab will be activated

If your browser has multiple tool bars open,
and the display resolution is close to the mini­mum system requirements, the bottom of the
live view page will be cut off.

To obtain the full view of the camera and to avoid scrolling, set the
browser to full screen mode. This can be done by clicking "view" then
clicking full screen, or pressing F11 on the keyboard.

Selecting Zoom Window Views

At the bottom of the page you will find options to configure the zoom
windows. You can choose 0, 2, 3 or 4 zoom windows to appear on the
screen at once.

Once you initially log
on to the camera, you
can set up user
accounts.

Setting up user
accounts is discussed
in more detail later in
The Camera Settings
section on page 10.
