Settings (Step 2 Setting the Network)

Setting the IP Address for VN-C655 with V.Networks Setup Tool

Set the IP address for VN-C655 by using the installed [V.Networks Setup Tool]. (With this [V.Networks Setup tool] onlyVN-C655, not other models, can be connected.)

Caution

After the power for VN-C655 is turned on, there will be about 20 to 70 seconds until VN-

C655 becomes ready to be connected with the PC. This is not a defect.

At the factory, DHCP is set enabled for VN-C655.

About the DHCP function

JVC does not recommend operating VN-C655 with this function enabled because a differ- ent IP address may be assigned upon the renewal of the leasing contract. The DHCP function of VN-C655 is designed for simplifying the installation and setting procedures.

Note

For connecting VN-C655 with the factory settings, either one of the environments described below is required.

Environment where no DHCP server exists.

Environment where a DHCP server exists, which clearly defines the allotted IP address and MAC address.

1.Select [Start], [Programs], [V.NETWORKS] and then [vn-c655u Setup Tool] to start up [V.Networks Setup Tool].

Enter the IP address of the camera to be connected to [Connection IP Address]. The IP address is set to 192.168.0.2 at the factory.

Click .

Note

Click [Search] to see the IP address of the connected camera.

The [V.Networks Search] screen is dis- played.

To start search, click . [V.Networks IP Address List] is dis- played.

[TimeOut] is for setting the time for searching (1 to 30 seconds).

If no IP address is displayed by searching, change the value to a longer one and then search again.

If [V.Networks] on LAN has a different subnet from that of the PC, connection cannot be established even if the IP address of the camera can be searched and found. Reconnect the camera after changing the IP address of the PC accordingly.

The progressive scan technology is particularly advantageous as it reduces motion blur, making it suitable for capturing fast-moving subjects. Furthermore, the camera offers a frame rate of up to 30 frames per second, ensuring real-time monitoring without noticeable latency.

The VN-C655U is also designed with versatility in mind. It supports both indoor and outdoor usage, thanks to its robust construction and weather-resistant features. This adaptability ensures that the camera can perform effectively in different environmental conditions. Additionally, the camera is equipped with a 10x optical zoom lens, which allows for detailed close-ups without losing image quality. With a wide field of view, the VN-C655U can cover expansive areas and is perfect for monitoring large facilities.

Connectivity is another key aspect of the VN-C655U. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), which allows for simplified installation by streamlining cabling requirements. Users can also access the camera remotely via a web interface, making it easy to configure settings and monitor footage from anywhere using an internet connection. This feature is integral for security personnel needing real-time oversight and control over surveillance operations.

The JVC VN-C655U incorporates advanced image processing technologies, including wide dynamic range (WDR) to handle challenging lighting conditions. This capability ensures clear images, even in high-contrast environments where shadows and bright light coexist. Additionally, the camera supports motion detection, generating alerts and notifications when activity is detected within designated areas, enhancing security and response times.

Overall, the JVC VN-C655U is a feature-rich network camera tailored for modern surveillance needs. With its excellent image quality, versatile design, advanced connectivity, and intelligent monitoring capabilities, it serves as a reliable option for anyone seeking to enhance the security of their premises.
