Welcome
This manual explains how to interface with the IP camera using a standard Web browser (for example
Microsoft® Internet Explorer®).
The IP camera 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:
NOTES:
• Only use a cable modem router or a switch with a DHCP server when installing the Pelco IP camera
on a network. Refer to the installation manual shipped with the Pelco IP camera for installation
instructions.
• Do not use a HUB in the network setup of the camera.
• To secure access to the Pelco IP camera, place the camera behind a firewall when it is connected to
a network.
• For optimum image quality and bandwidth efficiency, use the IP camera as an Endura Enabled device
or with an approved Pelco API interface.
• If the camera 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 www.pelco.com/ipcam.
• 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.

GETTING STARTED

You will need to install your IP camera before using this manual (refer to the installation manual supplied
with the IP camera). Once installed, apply power to the system. The camera will start a configuration
sequence.
The following is the configuration process for the IP camera:
• The green LED flashes five times per second for approximately two minutes, or until the server
recognizes the camera.
• If the camera is not connected to a DHCP server, the green LED will flash for approximately four
minutes before the camera switches to Automated Private IP Addressing mode.
