Cisco VC220 User Manual - Page 3

1 Before You Begin Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following equipment and services: • At least one computer running Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x, or later (other browsers can be used but may have limited functionality) • An active LAN IP connection After the basic hardware installation, Cisco strongly recommends that you run the Setup Wizard on the CD-ROM for first-time software installation of the camera. Advanced users can set up the Cisco VC 220 directly from the web interface of the camera. It is suggested that you install the software - see "Getting Started with the Configuration" section on page 11 - before you replace the dome cover on the camera. This is because after the software is installed, you will be able to use the web-based configuration utility to see how the lens should be adjusted and how the camera needs to be focused. See "Suggested Next Steps" section on page 12 for instructions on lens and focusing adjustments, and how to replace the dome cover. The recommended order of steps is as follows: • "Mounting Your Cisco VC 220 Camera" section on page 8 • "Connecting the Equipment" section on page 9 • "Verifying the Hardware Installation" section on page 11 • "Getting Started with the Configuration" section on page 11 • "Adjusting the Lens" section on page 12 • "Attaching the Dome Cover" section on page 13 The supplied screwdriver is exclusively designed to match the dome screws, which prevents the cover from being removed by an unauthorized individual. Do not discard the screwdriver because you may need to remove the dome cover at a later time. VC 220 Dome WDR Day/Night PoE Network Camera Quick Start Guide 3
