NOTES on using Ethernet cables:
For outdoor installations, it is recommended to use
exterior-grade
Ethernet cables (CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6); ordinary Ethernet cables are only designed for indoor use and may deteriorate quickly when exposed to outdoor elements.
Exterior-grade Ethernet cables are waterproof and do not require a conduit.
Hardware Manual
CAUTION:
If the camera will be installed outdoors, be sure to waterproof the cable connection by enclosing it inside a junction box or wrap it using a moisture-sealant tape, such as
3M PRODUCTS Core Series 4-1000
(not included in the package) or equivalent.
See example below.
For other waterproofing methods, see
Hardware Manual
Other Mounting Options
In areas with fierce weather conditions, the light bundled bracket can be replaced by a heavy duty outdoor bracket combined with additional mounting accessories.

Hardware Manual
Waterproof Cable Installation
The camera and the pre-installed network cable are resistant to salt water, weak acid, alcohol, oil, grease and other common solvents. However, in areas with fierce weather conditions and those that can easily be flooded, ensure that the exposed length of cable is also protected.
It is recommended to use a flexible conduit with
1/2”
diameter and the conduit gland (included in the package) to protect the camera cabling. In this case, the pre-installed network cable with
“pigtail” (female connector) must be replaced with a standard Ethernet cable
NOTE:
The flexible conduit and Ethernet cable are not included in the package and must be sold separately. When purchasing, make sure the flex conduit size is 1/2" to match the bundled conduit gland.
To do the waterproof cable installation, also prepare the following tools:
Screwdriver
Wrench

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.
Hardware Manual
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.
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 1 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 basic
VLC media player
( http://www.videolan.org
) has to be installed in PC first before using any non-Internet Explorer browsers to be able to get live video feed from the camera with those browsers. It is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player.
Disclaimer Notice: The camera manufacturer does not guarantee the compatibility of its cameras with VLC player
– since it is a third party software, the third party has 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.
The following examples in this manual are based on Internet Explorer browser in order to cover all functions of the camera.
Hardware Manual
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.
