Welcome

The Spectra® Mini IP dome system is accessible using a standard Web browser (Microsoft® Internet Explorer® or Mozilla® Firefox®). The IP dome system can also be used with an Endura® system as an Endura Enabled™ device or a third-party system with Pelco’s API interface. If you are using one of these systems refer to the following information:

NOTES:

•Only use a cable modem router or a switch with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server when installing the Spectra Mini IP dome system on a network. Refer to the installation manual shipped with the IP dome system for instructions.

•Do not use a hub in the network setup of the dome system.

•To secure access to the Spectra Mini IP dome system, place the dome behind a firewall when it is connected to a network.

•For optimum image quality and bandwidth efficiency, use the dome system as an Endura Enabled device or with an approved Pelco API interface.

•If the dome system is part of an Endura system, the graphical user interface will automatically discover the device and display it as a camera within the system manager. Refer to the documentation for the Endura System Manager.

•For a list of compatible API interfaces go to xdn.pelco.com and register as a new user by following the on-screen instructions.

•Network and processor bandwidth limitations may cause the video stream to pause or appear pixilated when an increased number of Web-interface users connect to the camera. Decrease the images per second (ips) of the Web-interface video streams to compensate for network/processor limitations.

For detailed instructions on configuring the dome system using WS5000 advanced system software, refer to the Endura WS5000 Advanced System Software manual.
