•Before Your Begin, page 2-1

•Installing the Cisco Video Surveillance 2611 IP Dome, page 2-2

•Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera, page 2-7

•Accessing the IP Camera Windows, page 2-8

•Powering the IP Camera On or Off, page 2-11

•Resetting the IP Camera, page 2-12

•Cleaning the IP Camera, page 2-12

Before Your Begin

Before you install the IP camera, review these guidelines:

•The IP camera requires a twisted pair category 5 or higher network cable and a connection to a standard 10/100BaseT hub, router, or switch. To power the IP camera with Power over Ethernet (PoE), a switch must be 802.3af compliant.

•If you are using the camera on a network connection that does not provide PoE, you must use a 12 VDC or 24 VAC source that is isolated from the ground (floating output).

•If you are using an external speaker, microphone, input device, or output device, you must configure additional settings after installing and performing the initial set up of the IP camera before the external device can fully operate. For detailed information about these settings, see Chapter 3, “Configuring and Managing the IP Camera.”

•If you do not connect an external device (speaker, microphone, input device, output device, or control device) when you perform the following installation procedure, you can install any of these devices later.

	Warning	Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074
