INSTALLATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before Installation
Before installing the camera, thoroughly familiarise yourself with the information in this section of
the manual.
- It is recommended to connect the camera to a network that uses a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server to address devices.
- To ensure secure access to the IP camera, place the camera behind a firewall when it is
connected to a network.
NOTES
- Use megapixel lens for higher image quality.
- Megapixel lenses are designed and tested to deliver optimal image quality to the VK2-1080BXDN
megapixel cameras.
- If the standard definition lens was installed on megapixel camera, the image quality will be poor
than expected.
- Recommend Lenses - VDD31V812IRP-3MP (Direct drive iris)
VM31V812IRP-3MP (Manual iris)
Starting Installation
1. Install the Lens
- Ensure the lens does not touch camera CCD sensor.
- If DC auto iris lens is required, connect DC auto iris 4-pin connector into iris drive connector
located on the side of the camera.
2. Mount the camera
The camera can be mounted from both top and bottom.
3. Connect other peripheral devices
Connect the other peripheral devices such as Alarm, Audio and BNC connector.
4. Supply the camera with power.
- If PoE is not available, connect DC12V or AC24V wires to the camera power connector. Ensure
correct polarity when using DC12V. Use a Class2 power.
- This camera complies with IEEE802.3af standard. Hence the power for the camera can be
supplied via Ethernet cabling without additional power supply.
- The camera will complete a configuration process within approximately 40 seconds. The amber
LED flashes once per second after the configuration process is complete.
5. View the camera image
View the camera image using the BNC connector or built-in web browser or supplied Client software.
NOTE
This camera will autosense and work with either a straight Ethernet cable or crossover Ethernet
cable.

Audio
Use the Audio tab to manage the basic audio settings for the camera.
Figure 15. Basic Configuration / Audio
Audio Setting: Click the Enable audio checkbox to enable audio. This page describes how to
configure the basic audio settings for the camera. This camera supports bi-directional full duplex
audio.
Compression type: G.711 is the international standard for encoding wired-telephone audio on
64kBit/s channel. It is a PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) scheme operating at 8 kHz sample rate. The
default setting is G.711 µ-law.
Sample rate: Indicates the number of times per second the sound is sampled. The default
setting is 8 kHz.
NOTE
G.711, also known as Pulse Code Modulation (PCM), is a very commonly used waveform codec.
G.711 uses a sampling rate of 8,000 samples per second, with the tolerance on that rate 50 parts
per million (ppm). Non-uniform quantization (logarithmic) with 8 bits is used to represent each
sample, resulting in a 64 kbit/s bit rate. There are two slightly different versions; μ-law, which is
used primarily in North America, and A-law, which is in use in most other countries outside North
America. G.711 μ-law tends to give more resolution to higher range signals while G.711 A-law
