1.1

Installation

There is only one type of mounting explained in this manual. Refer to the device’s installation guide for more
various mounting types.

CAUTION:

Sealing gaps is recommended as gaps may appear after the camera installation. Gaps may cause problems such
as moisture, water leakage and etc., which negatively affects the operation of the camera if gaps remain
unsealed.

CAUTION:

To prevent products from damage, place the camera on stable and non-vibrating surfaces If the stability is in
doubt, consult safety personnel for reinforcements, and then proceed with the installation.

Steps:

1).

Place the installation template (paper)
included in the package on the desired
installation surface.

2).

Drill three holes in correct positions based on
the template paper, and insert the anchor
blocks into the holes.

3).

Attach the silicon waterproof band included in
the package to the camera’s mounting surface
by aligning it with the three alignment holes.

4).

Connect the required cables including a power
cable and a LAN cable (or PoE cable) to the
device. Refer to

Section 1:

Part Names and

Positions

for more details.

5).

Place the camera body to match the three
alignment holes with the three anchor blocks,
and hold the camera against the surface where
the camera will be mounted.

6).

Tighten the anchor blocks with the screws
(M4x30).

7).

Adjust the heading direction of the camera
with the provided hex wrench (3mm). Please
refer to

Section 2:

Adjusting Angle of the

Camera

for more details.

8).

Adjust zoom and focus of the camera. Refer to

Section 3:

Adjusting Zoom and Focus

for more

details.

9).

Attach the lens cover on the main body by

Adjusting Angle of the Camera

Steps:

1).

Adjust the camera to the desired angle by unscrewing the joints referring to the following pictures.

2).

Connect to the web page of the device to see its real-time image in order to check whether its angle is
correctly adjusted. Refer to

Section 5:

View Video on Camera Web Interface

for details about using its

web page.

Adjusting Zoom and Focus

Steps:

1).

Unscrew the zoom puller and the focus puller counter-clockwise.

2).

Adjust the zoom and the focus of the lens.

3).

Tighten the zoom puller and the focus puller again by turning it
clockwise after the zoom and the focus are properly adjusted.

CAUTION:

Manual adjustment of Zoom and Focus is only possible on the

VX-2A-B-IWD

model version. Zoom and Focus

controls can be configured digitally from the camera’s web interface for

VX-2A-B-RIWD models.

Accessing Camera Settings and Video

To begin viewing video or configuring a camera’s network settings from the camera’s web interface, the user
must first identify the device’s IP address. The default IP address of the camera is

192.168.XXX.XXX.

The

default subnet mask is

255.255.0.0

On simple, private networks, a user can manually identify the IP address of the camera by converting the camera’s
MAC address hex values, however, the alternative method, which is recommended by 3xLOGIC, is to use the
3xLOGIC (VSX-IP) Camera Setup Utility. The utility makes detection and configuration of VISIX camera’s in any
network environment simple and easy, regardless of network complexity.

Both methods require that the camera and the PC being used to communicate with it reside on the same network.

4.1

Manually Locate Camera IP Address (MAC Address HEX Conversion)

Users can access the camera’s web interface and settings using a device’s default IP address: In case of generic
private network environment where IP address 192.168.XXX.XXX are used, the following procedure can be used to
identify a device’s IP address.

Steps:

1).

Convert the device’s MAC address to the IP address. Refer to

Section 10:

Hexadecimal-Decimal

Conversion Table

at the end of the manual (the MAC address of the device is written on the label

affixed to the side or bottom of the device).

2).

Start the Microsoft® Internet Explorer/Edge web browser and enter the address of the device.

3).

Web streaming and device configurations are supported through ActiveX program. When the ActiveX
installation window appears, authorize and install the ActiveX.

4.2

Automatically Detect Camera IP Address with 3xLOGIC Camera Setup Utility

Using the 3xLOGIC Camera (VSX-IP) Setup Utility is recommended for any network environment as it will find all
VISIX cameras across multiple subnet masks, utilizing mDNS search discovery. Camera information such as IP
Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Settings will be displayed and can be edited from this utility.

Steps:

1).

To search for a device, launch the utility

VSXIPUtility.exe

. Click on

Detect Online Devices/ Change IP

Address

to proceed to the Online Devices window.

MAC address = 00-13-23-01-14-B1 → IP address = 192.168.20.177

Convert the last two sets of hexadecimal numbers to decimal numbers.

Change IP Address

button. The fields under the

Configure IP Address

area

will un-grey to allow for manual editing of camera IP addresses as well as other settings.

4).

When you have finished editing the settings, click

Save IP Address

to save new changes.

5).

Start the Microsoft® Edge/Internet Explorer web browser and enter the address of the device.

6).

Web streaming and device configurations are supported through ActiveX program. When the ActiveX
installation window appears, authorize and install the ActiveX.

View Video on Camera Web Interface

Once the device’s proper IP address has been identified, type the IP into a web browser URL (Microsoft Internet
Explorer/Edge required for ActiveX control) to view the camera’s web interface and video stream images. The
default username and password is

admin/12345.

After initial access, an ActiveX control installation pop up may

deploy. ActiveX is required for viewing video in the browser.

5.1

Installation of ActiveX Control

Steps:

1).

When the browser asks to install the AxUMF software, click Install to proceed.

2).

When the setup installation pop-up window appears, click

Install

to proceed with rest of installation.

Configure the Camera’s VIGIL Connect Alias

VIGIL Connect allows VIGIL VMS users to remotely connect to a VIGIL Server/V-Series All-in-One camera using
the system serial number or a user defined VIGIL Connect

alias

, without the need for extensive changes to an

existing network’s settings. This allows for the device to be networked with other VIGIL suite utilities with little
effort and minimal knowledge of the device’s network connection values.

Steps:

1).

To configure a VIGIL Connect alias, navigate to the camera’s

Basic Tab>Camera Configuration Menu>Site

Information Settings

page.

Figure 4-6:

Configuring a VIGIL Connect Alias

2).

Fill in the

VIGIL Connect Alias

field with an alias of your choosing.

3).

Click

Apply

to save the new alias.

Your VISIX V-Series All-in-One camera can now be networked with other 3xLOGIC utilities and VIGIL suite
applications (VIGIL Client, VIGIL VCM, View Lite II(Android and iOS), 3xCLOUD, etc…) using only the camera’s
VIGIL Connect Alias.

Adding a V-Series All-in-One Camera to VIGIL Client

Steps:

1).

To interface a VISIX All-in-One Camera with VIGIL Client, launch VIGIL Client (Local Mode only; VCM
mode will only display Servers from a networked VCM Server) and select

Servers

from the Servers top

menu. This will launch the Servers window. VISIX All-in-One devices are considered edge recording
devices, and thus are recognized as their own VIGIL Server within the VIGIL suite.

2).

Click

Add

. This will deploy the

Add/Edit VIGIL Server

window.

3).

Enable the

Use VIGIL Connect

option. If connecting using traditional network connection criteria is

desired, enter the cameras

IP Address/DNS Name

and confirm TCP/IP port status.

4).

Enter in the VIGIL Connect alias of the desired VISIX All-in-One camera (

VIGILTest1

used in the below

example). Skip this step if using traditional network connection criteria (IP/Port).

5).

Click

Test VIGIL Connect

to confirm the camera can be communicated with through the Connect

system using the provided alias. Skip this step if using traditional network connection criteria (IP/Port).

Figure 4-5:

Adding All-in-One Camera to VIGIL Client

6).

If the test is successful, then VIGIL Client can successfully communicate with the Server. Click

at the

bottom of the

Add Server

window after configuring all required fields to save the new Server to VIGIL

Client. For more information on configuring VIGIL Servers, please see

The camera will be visible in the Client treeview and will be represented by a

icon. The camera video

stream can be added to the VIGIL Client viewer in the same manner as VIGIL Server cameras; Simply extend the
camera’s drop-down menu and double click the icon to add it to the viewer. Alternatively, a user can drag-and-
drop the camera stream icon into the desired frame of the VIGIL Client viewer.
