Other Connections
This section describes the procedures in connecting Digital Input and Output (DI/DO) and
Audio Input and Output devices. The use of these devices, however, is optional.
Audio Input/Output
Jacks
DI/DO Wires
NOTE: If these connectors will not be used, leave the rubber caps on and the wires twisted together to ensure cables remain waterproof and eliminate short-circuit hazards.
How to Connect DI/DO Devices (Optional)
Digital Input (DI) devices can be used to notify the camera about an activity in the camera site.
DI can be triggers of events. For example, you can connect a “panic button” to the camera; as such when the panic button is pressed, the alarm signal will be sent through the camera. Other common DI device applications are emergency button, smoke detector, passive infrared sensor, etc.
Digital Output (DO) devices are external devices that are activated by the camera upon an event inside the camera. For example, you can connect a n “alarm horn” to the camera; as such when an event occurs inside the camera (e.g. detected intruder), the alarm horn will sound. Other common DO device applications are motion-triggered lights, electric fence, magnetic door locks, etc.

Hardware Manual
Typical Connection
Based on these specifications, if the DI device has a voltage of 0V ~ 30V or the DO device has a voltage of < 24V (< 50mA), then the camera can supply internal power to these devices and there is no need to connect the DI/DO device to an external power source.
In this case, wire connection to Pins 1 to 4. Use the DIO GND and DI pins to connect a DI device and use the DIO PW and DO pins to connect a DO device. See wiring scheme below:
High Voltage DO Device Connection
Even though the camera provides 12V power, this may not be enough for some high voltage
DO devices, such as a ceiling light or a motor that opens or closes a gate. In this case, there is a need to connect an external relay. See wiring scheme below:
Note that when choosing an appropriate relay, please refer to its specifications and make sure they match the above design. The triggering circuit voltage has to be around 12V DC and the switch-controlled circuit voltage has to match the external power supply (e.g. 110V AC or 220V
AC).

Hardware Manual
Accessing the Camera
Configure the IP Addresses
In order to be able to communicate with the camera from your PC, both the camera and the PC have to be within the same network segment. In most cases, it means that they both should have very similar IP addresses, where only the last number of the IP address is different from each other. There are 2 different approaches to IP Address management in Local Area
Networks – by DHCP Server or Manually.
Using DHCP Server to Assign IP Addresses
If you have connected the computer and the camera into the network that has a DHCP server running, then you do not need to configure the IP addresses at all – both the camera and the
PC would request a unique IP address from DHCP server automatically. In such case, the camera will immediately be ready for the access from the PC. The user, however, might not know the IP address of the camera yet. It is necessary to know the IP address of the camera in other to be able to access it by using a Web browser.
The quickest way to discover the cameras in the network is to use the simplest network search, built in the Windows system – just by pressing the “Network” icon, all the cameras of the local area network will be discovered by Windows thanks to the UPnP function support of our cameras.
In the example below, we successfully found the camera that we had just connected to the network.
By double-clicking with the left mouse on the camera model, it is possible to automatically launch the default browser of the PC with the IP address of the target camera filled in the address bar of the browser already.
Hardware Manual
If you work with our cameras regularly, then there is even a better way to discover the cameras in the network – by using IP Utility . The IP Utility is a light software tool that can not only discover the cameras, but also list lots of valuable information, such as IP and MAC addresses, serial numbers, firmware versions, etc, and allows quick configuration of multiple devices at the same time.
The IP Utility can be downloaded for free from http://www.acti.com/IP_Utility
With just one click, you can launch the IP Utility and there will be an instant report as follows:
You can quickly see the camera model in the list. Click on the IP address to automatically launch the default browser of the PC with the IP address of the target camera filled in the address bar of the browser already.
Hardware Manual
Using the Default Camera IP Address
If there is no DHCP server in the given network, the user may have to assign the IP addresses to both PC and camera manually to make sure they are in the same network segment.
When the camera is plugged into network and it does not detect any DHCP services, it will automatically assign itself a default IP:
192.168.0.100
Whereas the default port number would be 80 . In order to access that camera, the IP address of the PC has to be configured to match the network segment of the camera.
Manually adjust the IP address of the PC:
In the following example, based on Windows 7, we will configure the IP address to
192.168.0.99
and set Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0
by using the steps below:
1 2
3 4
Hardware Manual
Manually adjust the IP addresses of multiple cameras:
If there are more than one camera to be used in the same local area network and there is no
DHCP server to assign unique IP addresses to each of them, all of the cameras would then have the initial IP address of 192.168.0.100
, which is not a proper situation for network devices – all the IP addresses have to be different from each other. The easiest way to assign cameras the IP addresses is by using IP Utility :
With the procedure shown above, all the cameras will have unique IP addresses, starting from
192.168.0.101. In case there are 20 cameras selected, the last one of the cameras would have the IP 192.168.0.120.
Later, by pressing the “Refresh” button of the IP Utility, you will be able to see the list of cameras with their new IP addresses.
Please note that it is also possible to change the IP addresses manually by using the Web browser. In such case, please plug in only one camera at a time, and change its IP address by using the Web browser before plugging in the next one. This way, the Web browser will not be confused about two devices having the same IP address at the same time.
Hardware Manual
Access the Camera
Now that the camera and the PC are both having their unique IP addresses and are under the same network segment, it is possible to use the Web browser of the PC to access the camera.
You can use any of the browsers to access the camera, however, the full functionality is provided only for Microsoft Internet Explorer .

The third parties have the right to modify their utility any time which might affect the compatibility. In such cases, please use Internet Explorer browser instead.
When using Internet Explorer browser, the ActiveX control for video stream management will be downloaded from the camera directly – the user just has to accept the use of such control when prompted so. No other third party utilities are required to be installed in such case.
Hardware Manual
The following examples in this manual are based on Internet Explorer browser in order to cover all functions of the camera.
Assuming that the camera ’s IP address is 192.168.0.100
, you can access it by opening the
Web browser and typing the following address into Web browser ’s address bar: http://192.168.0.100
Upon successful connection to the camera, the user interface called Web Configurator would appear together with the login page. The HTTP port number was not added behind the IP address since the default HTTP port of the camera is 80, which can be omitted from the address for convenience.
Before logging in, you need to know the factory default Account and Password of the camera.
