4 Connecting the Camera
The connections (8 – 13) and the cable split-
ter (7) are not weatherproof; protect them
accordingly .
1) Connect the camera via the RJ45 connector
(8) to an individual computer, a local com-
puter network or, e . g . via a router, to larger
computer networks (Internet) .
2) For audio transmission via the network,
connect an audio source with line level (e . g .
microphone with preamplifier) to the RCA
connector "Audio Input" (10) .
3) For audio reproduction, connect a head-
phone amplifier or a sound system to the
RCA connector "Audio Output" (11) .
4) To evaluate an alarm device (e . g . photoelec-
tric sensor), connect the pins (12) IN 1 and IN
COM via a normally open contact or normally
closed contact (to be selected in the cam-
era settings) . A second alarm device can be
connected to the contacts IN 2 and IN COM .
5) To switch a device (e . g . via a relay), connect
the switching output of the camera via the
pins (12) OUT 1 and OUT COM . Select the
switching characteristic (normally open con-
tact/normally closed contact, pulse) in the
camera settings (
mum load of the output is ⎓ 12 V/ 300 mA .
6) For independent video recordings of the
camera, release the two screws, open the
cover (1) of the compartment on the rear
of the camera housing and insert a memory
card of the type "microSD[HC / XC]" (128 GB
max .) . Push the card (contacts to the bottom)
into the slot (14) until it engages . The red
LED (16) will light up during operation when
a card has been inserted . Never remove the
card while a recording is being made! To re-
move the card, push the card into the slot
until it disengages . Tightly close the cover
again . Make sure that the gasket is correctly
positioned in the groove of the cover .
7) To ground the camera housing, a ground
cable (13) is provided .
8) Connect the power supply unit provided or
another regulated 12 V power supply unit

chapter 6) . The maxi-
with a permanent rating of 2 A via a DC
power connector ⌀ 5 .5 / 2 .1 mm (outside /
inside) to the connector (9) . Always observe
the correct polarity: centre contact = + . Con-
nect the mains cable to the power supply unit
and to a mains socket (230 V/ 50 Hz) .
Alternatively, use the network cable
(Power over Ethernet IEEE 802 .3at "PoE+")
to supply the camera with power .
5 Connecting the Camera
to a Network
To be able to directly address the camera for
configuration via computer, its IP address is fac-
tory-set to 192 .168 .0 .120 .
If you do not know the current address of
the camera, start the program "IPSearch .exe"
(available on the Monacor homepage: www .
monacor .com Support Downloads) to find
the camera in the network .
1) To start the search, click the button "Start"
of the tab "Multicast Search" . The list on
the left will show the cameras found in the
☞
network (
fig . 4) .
2) To stop the search, click the button "Stop" .
3) Select the camera from the list . The current
settings of this camera can be found on the
right .
4) Change the settings as required:
IP address, subnet mask and gateway address
can be defined as static values (select the op-
tion "Device uses the following IP address") .
Enter a unique IP address for each camera .
If a DHCP server is available in the network
(e . g . in the router or network video recorder),
this server will be able to automatically make
settings for the camera (select the option
"Device obtains an IP address automati-
cally") . The values assigned automatically are
highlighted in grey and cannot be changed .
5) Click the button "Modify" . After successful
transmission of the modifications, the mes-
sage "Modify success!" will appear .
6) Before you start a new search, click the but-
ton "Clear All" to delete the list .
