Chapter 2 Getting Started

Powering the IP Camera On or Off

To adjust the back focus, perform the following steps while viewing video from the camera. For information about viewing video, see Chapter 4, “Viewing Live Video.”

Procedure

Step 1 With a lens attached to the IP camera, use the 0.9mm Allen wrench that is supplied with the IP camera to loosen the focus ring hex screw.

This screw is on the bottom of the camera just behind the focus ring.

Step 2 Adjust the back focus by aiming the IP camera at an object that is at least 15 feet (4.5 meters) away and rotating the focus ring to obtain a clear image as follows:

For a variable-focus lens, obtain a sharp picture in both wide-angle and telephoto positions.

For a zoom lens, ensure that the object of interest remains in focus throughout the entire zoom range of the lens.

Step 3 Use the Allen wrench to tighten the focus ring hex screw.

Powering the IP Camera On or Off

The IP camera does not include an on/off switch. You power it on or off by connecting it to or disconnecting it from a power source. When you power off the IP camera, configuration settings are retained.

To power on the IP camera, take either of these actions:

Use an STP (shielded twisted pair) Category 5 or higher network cable to connect the IP camera to a network switch that provides 802.3af compliant PoE

Use an optional 12 VDC or 24VAC power adapter to connect the IP camera to a wall outlet

To power off the IP camera, take either of these actions:

If the IP camera is receiving PoE, disconnect the network cable

If the IP camera is receiving power through the power adapter, unplug the adapter from the wall or disconnect it from the camera

Resetting the IP Camera

You reset the IP camera by pressing the Reset button on the rear of the device (see Figure 1-3 on page 1-5). There are various reset types, as described in Table 2-4.

You also can also perform these reset operations from the Maintenance Settings window as described in the “Maintenance Settings Window” section on page 3-29.
