Safety
Observe due diligence and proper security and safety standards when installing and operating the unit.
To help ensure safety and to help reduce risk of injury or damage, observe the following:
Do not disassemble the camera. To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Ask a qualified service person for servicing.
Ensure the unit is installed and operating in an indoor environment or in the protective outdoor mount kit supplied with the outdoor model.
Place or install the unit on a secure flat surface or mount it using optional hardware.
Ensure the operating environment is not contaminated by dust, particles, chemicals, smoke, or water.
Use proper maintenance to ensure that the unit is clean and dry.
Do not block cooling holes on the bracket. This camera has a cooling fan inside. Blocking the cooling holes leads to build up of heat in the camera and may cause malfunction.
Operating temperature should be maintained within 14ºF to 122ºF (-10ºC to 50ºC), with no more than 90% non-condensing humidity.
Use the properly rated power supply unit or PoE Plus and protect against static electricity, ground faults and power surges.
Observe local codes and laws and ensure installation is in accordance with fire, security and safety standards.

Installation
Following are instructions for indoor and outdoor installation of Quasar HD PTZ cameras.
Indoor Installation
Read the instructions provided in this chapter thoroughly before installing the CP-3211-180 or CP-4221-200 camera.
Following are additional considerations for indoor installation:
There must be a fuse or breaker at the starting point of the electrical wiring infrastructure.
For indoor installations, such as industrial applications, the camera must be protected from elements such as damaging fumes, metallic dust, extreme temperatures, soot, moisture, and over spray.
Do not place the camera on or near radiators and heat sources.
All electrical work must be performed in accordance with local regulatory requirements.
Outdoor Installation
Read the instructions provided in this chapter thoroughly before installing the CP-3211-181 or CP-4221-201 camera.
Following are additional considerations for outdoor installation:
Be sure not to expose the camera head to strong sunlight, which could cause the camera to overheat.
For outside wiring installation, always use weatherproof equipment, such as boxes, receptacles, connectors, etc.
For electrical wiring, use the properly rated sheathed cables for conditions to which the cable will be exposed (for example, moisture, heat, UV, physical requirements, etc.).
Plan ahead to determine where to install infrastructure weatherproof equipment. Whenever possible, ground components to an outdoor ground.
Use best security practices to design and maintain secured camera access, communications infrastructure, tamper-proof outdoor boxes, etc.
All electrical work must be performed in accordance with local regulatory requirements.

Searching and Accessing the Camera with Device Search
Device Search provides a central location for listing all the DVTel CM, CF and CP camera models accessible over the network. Once listed, you can right-click on each camera to access and change the network settings.
Once the network settings are changed, you can search again to relist the units and then configure the units via the web interface.
If you are working with DVTel Latitude, configure the unit with a static IP address rather than with DHCP. This ensures that the IP address will not automatically change in the future and interfere with configurations and communication.
You will need to make the camera accessible for your network addressing. For initial access to the camera, you can do either of the following to search and configure the camera’s network settings via Device Search:
If you have the AdminCenter in Latitude, you can access the Device Configuration Tool (Unified
Configurator) from the Applications menu and then click the DVTel HD Series button.
You can run DeviceSearch.exe, which can be found in the DeviceSearch folder in the supplied CD.
To install DVTel Web Player (DCViewer) software online:
Upon initial connection to the camera, you are prompted to install the DVTel Web Player (DCViewer) on your PC. If the web browser does not allow DVTel Web Player to install, check the Internet security settings or ActiveX controls
and plug-in settings to continue the process. See Appendix B: Internet Security Settings .
Important: Users who have previously installed the DVTel Web Player (DCViewer) on the PC should delete the existing DCViewer from the PC before accessing the camera. For information on how to uninstall and clear
Temporary Internet Files, see Appendix D: Deleting the Existing DCViewer .
To configure the communication settings of the Quasar CP series camera:
1. Connect the camera to the network on the same VLAN/LAN as the workstation. You can use a cross-cable to directly connect it to the machine.
If your network supports the default, open the DeviceSearch by doing one of the following: a) If you have the AdminCenter in Latitude, you can access the Device Configuration Tool (Unified
Configurator) from the Applications menu and then click the DVTel HD Series button.
Run the DeviceSearch.exe which can be found in the DeviceSearch folder in the supplied CD.
In the Device Search application, click the Device Search button.
If you have not disabled the Windows Firewall, a security alert window will pop up. Do the following: a) Click Unblock to continue. Latitude users should consult the Latitude Installation Instructions on disabling the Windows Firewall.

When prompted with instructions to search again after one minute, click OK. c) After one minute, click Device Search. The communication settings should now be changed and ready for you to install the camera on the network. You may access it either via the browser-based viewer or Latitude NVMS.
Right-click and select Browse to directly access the camera via a web browser.
The default web browser opens and requests access to the camera IP address.
When the web browser contacts the camera IP, do the following: a) Log in using the default user name Admin and password 1234.
NOTE: ID and password are case-sensitive.
If the Information Bar (just below the URL bar) prompts for permission to install the ActiveX Control for displaying video in the browser (see the figure below), right-click on the Information Bar. Select Install
ActiveX Control… to allow the installation.
If you receive a security warning window prompt, click Install.
35
Quasar CP Series HD PTZ Camera User and Installation Guide
If the wizard appears for installing the component application DCViewer, follow the steps of the wizard to complete the installation.
NOTE: If you change the password and you are using the DVTel Latitude AdminCenter Discovery feature, deselect all other proprietary types. Select DVTel HD Series so that you can configure the new password in the Discovery tab settings.
Additionally, users can change the camera’s network property (either DHCP or Static IP) directly in the device finding list. Refer to the following section for changing the camera’s network property.
Adjusting and Framing-Up the Camera View
Once you have the camera attached to the network and running, you need to frame up the scene and adjust the camera settings to optimize the picture for your individual scenes. If you are using Latitude, you may consider scheduling different settings for changing ambient conditions throughout the day, week, month or seasons.
To adjust and frame-up the camera view:
1. In the DeviceSearch application, click Device Search and in the results click to select the camera, right-click to open the shortcut menu, and select Browse, or enter the camera’s IP address as a URL in a web browser.
When the Internet browser connects to the camera and prompts for login, do the following: a) Log in using the default user name Admin and password 1234.
Allow the ActiveX to download and choose to install the DVTel Web Player (DCViewer).
Tip: To view greater image detail for more accurate high-definition focusing, on the Web Base Viewer homepage, click and use the full screen view for checking adjustments.
IMPORTANT: Best focusing results can be achieved when the lens iris is fully open (such as at night in low light). This prevents loss of sharpness if light levels are reduced at night.
To achieve this during the day, in the Web Base Viewer go to the Camera Exposure screen and select from the Exposure Setting menu Auto-shutter mode. Save changes and complete the focusing steps.
When finished, restore your exposure settings as needed.
