1. Product Description

This manual applies to the VIP2 Camera – VK2-540VRD.

The VK2-540VRD vandal resistant dome is a Hybrid analogue and IP camera. It has a

standard composite BNC out put allowing it to be connected via coax to a traditional coax

based CCTV system, as well as being connected to an IP based system.

The VK2-540VRD comes supplied with its own viewing software which allows the user to

View, record and configure the camera. Viewing and configuration can also be carried out

via a web browser such as Internet Explorer.

The camera can transmit real time full frame rate video in H.264, MJPEG or MPEG4

compression formats.

The alarm input and alarm output can be used to connect various third party devices, such

as, door sensors and alarm bells.

Components

The system comes with the following components:

Key Features

• Brilliant video quality

The VK2-540VRD offers the highly efficient H.264 video compression, which drastically

reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. Motion

JPEG is also supported for increased flexibility.

• Dual streams

The VK2-540VRD can deliver dual video streams simultaneously at full frame rate in all

resolutions up to D1 (720x480 in NTSC, 720x576 in PAL) using Motion JPEG and H.264 (or

MPEG-4). This means that several video streams can be configured with different

compression formats, resolutions and frame rates for different needs.

• Image setting adjustment

The VK2-540VRD also enables users to adjust image settings such as contrast, brightness

and saturation to improve images before encoding takes place.

• Intelligent video capabilities

The VK2-540VRD includes intelligent capabilities such as enhanced video motion detection.

The encoder’s external inputs and outputs can be connected to devices such as sensors and

relays, enabling the system to react to alarms and activate lights or open/close doors.

• Power over Ethernet

Support for Power over Ethernet (IEEE802.3af) enables the unit, as well as the analog

camera that is connected to it, to receive power through the same cable as for data

transmission. This makes for easy installation since no power outlet is needed.

• Audio support

The VK2-540VRD also supports two-way audio.

• Improved Security

The VK2-540VRD logs all user access, and lists currently connected users. Also, its full

frame rate video can be provided over HTTPS.

• Camera

-. Superior image quality (540 TV Lines).

-. 0.3 Lux (Color) @ F1.2 Sensitivity.

-. C/CS, backfocus cam for easy adjustment.

-. Auto electronic shutter [1/60(1/50) ~ 1/100,000] and manual electronic shutter modes.

-. Full control via the OSD menu key on the side of the camera.

-. Auto and manual white balance modes.

-. BLC (Back Light Compensation)

-. Day&Night (Auto / Color / B/W)

-. AGC (Auto Gain Control)

-. Incredible noise reduction for picture quality & file size.

-. Sens-up (x2 ~ x128)

-. Privacy Zone 8 points.

-. MIRROR

-. VIDEO OUT(BNC)

2. Installation

For the operation of the VK2-540VRD, it is necessary to connect a network cable for data

transmission, power connection from supplied power adapter and connect a general analog

camera. Depending on operation methods, it is possible to connect an alarm cable or audio

cable additionally. For its fixation on different locations, please consult with an installer.

Base Installation

1. Make mounting holes and cable hole in the place (ceiling) to which this dome camera

is installed using the supplied template sheet.

Warning: The total mass of the main unit is approx 1.3kg. Check whether the ceiling

to which the Dome Camera is installed is strong enough to hold the unit mass. If not,

the Dome Camera could fall, causing injury.

2. Attach the safety wire for securing the dome camera to ceiling or structure not to fall.

3. Extract each wire through the cable hole, connect BNC cable and communication lines.

11

4. Unlock torx screws (4x) the dome cover and fix the dome case firmly with supplied

mounting screws (4x), plastic anchors (4x), O-Rings (4x).

5. Adjust desired focus and scene by turning and moving the hemisphere by hand.

6. Lock the housing cover with torx screws (4x).

• Cable through the electrical box with the dome base

The housing can also be mounted on a 4s or 2s electrical box.

• Using the conduit knockout punched with the dome base

Remove the conduit knockout punched for the cable entry.

12

Heater Kit Installation

1. Place the heater element is slot “A”. Please ensure that the cables are facing upwards

and the heater is pointing towards the Dome.

2. Place the PCB in slot “B”. Please ensure that the PCB is facing inside of the Dome with

the connection blocks at the top.

3. Place the plug in the Socket “C” (J3) which is found on the controller board.

Network Connection

The VK2-540VRD supports the operation through the network. Therefore, it is necessary to

connect a standard RJ-45 cable to it. Generally a cross-over cable is used for directly

connection to PC, while a direct cable is used for connection to a hub.

IP Assignment

When a camera, Encoder or Decoder is first connected to the network it has no IP address.

So, it is necessary to allocate an IP address to the device with the “Smart Manager” utility

on the CD.

1. Connect the VK2-540VRD to the network and power up.

2. Start SmartManager utility (All programs > VIP2 > SmartManager), the main window

will be displayed, after a short while any cameras connected to the network will be

displayed in the list.

3. Select the camera on the list and click right button of the mouse. You can see the pop-

up menu as below.

4. Select Assign IP. You cam see a Assign IP window.

Enter the required IP address.

14

The description of each field for the connection status follows.

: Available for connection to the camera

: Loading settings information of video after connecting the camera.

: Connectable to the camera but fixed security settings (password)

: Unavailable for connection to the camera (PC can not access relevant IP Address)

Note: Refer to VIP2 Client Software User’s Manual for detailed information.

3. Operation

The VK2-540VRD can be used with most standard operating systems and browsers.

Notes: To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, set your browser to allow ActiveX

controls.

3.1 Access from a browser

1. Start a browser (Internet Explorer).

2. Enter the IP address or host name of VK2-540VRD in the Location/Address field of

your browser.

3. You can see a starting page. Click Live View or Setup to enter web page.

15

4. The encoder’s Live View page appears in your browser.

3.2. Access from the internet

Access from the internet Once connected, the VK2-540VRD is accessible on your local

network (LAN). To access the VK2-540VRD from the Internet you must configure your

broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to it. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal

feature, which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the VK2-

540VRD. This is enabled from Setup > System > Network > NAT.

For more information, please see NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4, on page 61.

3.3 Setting the admin password over a secure connection

To gain access to the product, the password for

the default administrator user must be set. This

is done in the “Admin Password” dialog, which is

displayed when the VK2-540VRD is accessed for

the setup at the first time. Enter your admin

name and password, set by the administrator.

Note: The default administrator username and

password is “admin”. If the password is lost, the

VK2-540VRD must be reset to the factory default

settings. See “3.9 Resetting to the factory default

settings”.

To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the admin password, this can be done via

an encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate (see note below).

To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog

shown below. To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, see Setup >

System > Secutity > HTTPS, on page 52.

16

Note:

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt the traffic

between web browsers and servers. The HTTPS certificate controls the encrypted exchange

of information. The default administrator user cannot be deleted.

3.4 Live View Page

The live view page comes in eight

screen modes like 704x480(576),

704x240(288), 352x240(288),

176x120(144), 640x480, 320x240,

and 160x120. Users are allowed to

select the most suitable one out of

those modes. Please, adjust the

mode in accordance with your PC

specifications and monitoring

purposes.
