Chapter 2 Getting Started
Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera
After you install the IP camera, follow the instructions in the “Performing the Initial Setup of the IP
Camera” section on page 2-4 to access and configure the camera.
Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera
After you install IP camera, or after you perform a factory reset procedure, you must access the IP
camera and make initial configuration settings. These settings include administrator and root passwords,
and whether the IP camera can be accessed through an HTTP connection in addition to the default
HTTPS (HTTP secure) connection.
Step 11
If you are using the IP camera on a network connection
that does not provide PoE, connect an external 12 V
power adapter.
First, connect the bare wires at the end of the power
adapter to the terminal block that is provided with the IP
camera:
• With the screws on the terminal block facing down,
put the positive wire into the slot at the right rear of
the terminal block and put the negative wire into the
slot on the left.
• Use a small flat-head screwdriver to tighten the
screws on the bottom of the terminal block so that the
power adapter wires are attached securely.
Note The power adapter may include an attached
terminal block that does not fit the IP camera. If
so, remove that terminal block and replace it with
the one that is provided with the IP camera.
Next, plug the terminal block into the power input port on
back of the IP camera. The terminal block fits into the
input port in one way. Make sure that the tabs on the
terminal block face the bottom of the IP camera.
Finally, plug the external power adapter into an electrical
outlet. The IP camera powers up.
Step 12
Check the LEDs on the IP camera.
• The Ready LED blinks while the IP camera starts up.
After 15 to 20 seconds, startup completes and the
Ready LED should remain on.
• The Network LED should be on.
Step 13
Mount the IP camera in the desired location. Connect the mounting device to the threaded mounting
hole on the bottom or top of the IP camera, depending on
your installation requirement.
You may first need to remove the rubber protector from the
mounting hole. Place this protector in the unused
mounting hole.
Step 14
Optional. Use the lockdown cable slot to secure the IP
camera.
You can secure the IP camera to a fixed object by using
Kensington-compatible lockdown equipment
