SIGRAND IPHOUSE-15 LIGHT CAMERA HOUSING
User's Manual
Revision 1.1b
1. Description
The IPhouse-15 Light Camera Housing is intended for outdoor IP camera installations. The IPhouse-15
provides protection, lighting, and heating for the camera. The IPhouse-15 is powered by PoE (Power over
Ethernet) and forwards PoE to the camera.
The IPhouse-15 allows usage of cameras with two Ethernet ports and PoE chain capability.
The IPhouse-15 is able to control the LED lights and the heater in the automatic or manual mode and
allows monitoring internal and external temperature, as well as remote power feeding parameters.
The IPhouse-15 is controlled by the Command Line Interface (CLI).
The IPhouse-15 can be supplied in several configurations:
• IPhouse-15E/W – PoE, White LEDs
• IPhouse-15E/IR – PoE, Infrared LEDs

4. Installation and Connection
4.1 Camera Installation
4.1.1 Unlock the fasteners and open the cover of the housing.
2
4.1.2 Unscrew the temporary screw and remove the bracket assembly.
4.1.3 Unscrew the thumbscrews and remove the support.
4.1.4 Attach the support to the camera by means of the nut and the screw [1].
4.1.5 Insert the camera into the housing and fix it by the thumbscrews.
4.2 Serial Port Connection
4.2.1 If the camera has a serial port, connect the housing's console port to the camera's serial port by
the 4-wire flat cable.
3
4.3 LAN Cable Entrance
The housing has two sealed LAN cable entrance points. Depending of the configuration, one or two
entrances can be used. Two entrances are used in the PoE chain configuration, one for LAN IN cable and the
other for LAN OUT cable.
4.3.1 Unscrew the gland box nut [2] and push out the seal plug [3].
4.3.2 Pass the cable [6, 1] through the nut [2] and through the gland box [4] into the housing.
4.3.3 Put the seal plug [3] on the cable [1] and insert it into the gland box [4].
4.3.4 Tighten up the gland box nut [2].
4.4 Single-port LAN Connection
4.4.1 Connect the LAN IN cable to the PoE input port of the housing.
4.4.2 Connect the housing's PoE output port to the camera's PoE port by the short Ethernet patch cord.
4.5 PoE Chain LAN Connection
A camera with two Ethernet ports and PoE chain capability should be used to make a PoE chain. The
housing has no PoE chain capability itself. In such a case the housing should be powered through its 48V DC
input. The 48V DC voltage is derived from the LAN IN cable by means of supplied PoE Extraction Adaper.
Note: Some features are not functional in the PoE chain configuration: camera ON/OFF control, camera
power consumption monitoring, and the Preheat feature.
4.5.1 Connect the LAN IN cable to one port of the PoE Extraction Adaper.
4.5.2 Connect the other port of the PoE Extraction Adaper to the PoE IN port of the camera by the short
Ethernet patch cord.
4.5.3 Connect the 48V OUT cable of the PoE Extraction Adaper to the 48V DC input of the housing.
4.5.4 Connect the LAN OUT cable to the POE OUT port of the camera.
4.6 Mounting
4
4.6.1 Close the housing and lock the fasteners.
4.6.2 Attach the bracket assembly to the wall of the building.
4.6.3 Unscrew two screws from the bottom of the housing.
4.6.4 Mount the housing on the bracket and fix it by two screws.
5. Command Line Interface (CLI)
5.1 Features
The IPhouse-15 Command Line Interface (CLI) allows:
• Controlling LEDs, fans and camera manually or automatically
• Programming power of LEDs for illumination and heating
• Enabling or disabling thermostat and preheat (warm up) features
• Programming temperature and illuminance On/Off thresholds
• Monitoring temperature, illuminance and consumed power
• Accessing by SSH (through camera's serial port) or by a terminal
5.2 Accessing CLI through Camera's Serial Port
5.2.1 If the camera has an RS-232 serial port, it is possible to access the IPhouse-15 CLI remotely
through an SSH connection. Connect the camera's serial port to the IPhouse-15 console port (XP7) by the 4-
wire flat cable (supplied).
5.2.2 Setting up SSH Connection to Camera
Connect the IPhouse-15 to a PoE switch port. Wait about 1 minute till the camera is starting.
Run the SSH client program (for example, putty.exe).
Enter the camera's IP address and click OK. The telnet window will open.
