Camera Setup
2.1
Available Camera Setup Tools
All V-Series camera models can be quickly setup out-of-the-box using one of two tools; either the
3xLOGIC VSX
Setup Tool (iOS and Android)
mobile app or
3xLOGIC All-in-One PC Setup
software
,
depending on your
network environment.
The
3xLOGIC VSX Setup Tool (iOS and Android)
can be installed on a mobile device running Android
or iOS and has been engineered for use in all
DHCP-enabled
networks.
This app scans the camera’s QR
code to establish a connection with the camera and pushes configured settings to the camera via the
cloud.
The
3xLOGIC All-in-One PC Setup
software must be installed on a Windows PC running on the same
network as the cameras and is intended for use in large-scale deployments or for
non-DHCP
networks
. The app detects cameras at which point an appropriate IP address can be assigned to the
camera to establish external internet connectivity. The app then pushes configured settings to the
selected camera via the cloud.
2.2
Camera Setup - DHCP -Enabled Networks
For DHCP-enabled networks where the camera is hardwired into the local network, manual configuration is
possible, however the
3xLOGIC VSX Setup Tool (iOS and Android)
is highly recommended:
1.
Ensure the connected network provides a DHCP address and allows outbound access to the internet.
For installations where DHCP is not available or where the camera is being used with an appliance see
Section 2.3 Camera Setup - Non-DHCP Networks.
2.
Download VSX Setup app from your devices’ app store.
3.
Follow prompts in the VSX Setup app, and scan the camera’s QR to complete configuration and
enrollment.
4.
You will be required to activate the camera by assigning a complex password.
5.
Be sure to remember the VIGIL Connect Alias as well as the username and password you assign to the
camera. These credentials will be required to add the camera to other VIGIL utilities.
6.
Ensure that the camera is configured with the proper time zone, auto daylight savings update and set
for NTP (auto time sync).
7.
The cameras live view will be displayed in the app for final positioning.
8.
Setup results can be emailed upon completion for easy monitoring configuration.
Note:
The V-Series camera will automatically check for updates and format the SD card. Please allow
15 minutes before power cycling the camera.
2.3
Camera Setup - Non-DHCP Networks
The
3xLOGIC All-in-One PC Setup
software was engineered specifically for use in non-DHCP networks where
the mobile app (requires DHCP) cannot be used to configure the camera. A laptop connected to the same
network as the camera will be required to discover the camera and assign a valid IP address using the
3xLOGIC
All-in-One PC Setup
.
1.
Download
and
install
the
All-in-One
PC
Setup
Utility
for
Windows

2.
Confirm the PC is networked with the cameras. Launch the utility. If properly networked, the utility will
automatically detect cameras on the network (click
Refresh
to refresh the list).
3.
Select the desired device from the list of available cameras.
4.
Click IP Setup and assign the desired IP.
5.
Fill out installer and company information.
6.
To activate the camera, you will be required to assign a complex password.
7.
Confirm the camera Live View preview is as desired and click Continue.
8.
Adjust any/all camera settings including the camera name and VIGIL Connect alias.
9.
Fill out remaining information and complete steps in the setup tool to receive an installation summary
e-mail.
Note:
The V-Series camera will automatically check for updates and format the SD card. Please allow
15 minutes before power cycling the camera.
2.4
Remote Monitoring and Viewing - Adding a V-Series Camera to VIGIL Client
Steps:
To interface a V-Series Camera with VIGIL Client:
1.
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
V-Series 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 V-Series 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).

6.
If the test is successful, then VIGIL Client can successfully communicate with the Server. Click
OK
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
Section 5.1
of the VIGIL Client Users Guide.
NOTE:
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.
For more information on configuring VIGIL Servers/V-Series All-in-One camera in VIGIL Client, please see
Section 5.1
of the VIGIL Client Users Guide
2.5
Remote Monitoring and Viewing - Adding a V-Series Camera to 3xLOGIC View Lite II
Mobile (Android and iOS)
Steps:
1.
To interface a V-Series camera
with 3xLOGIC’s View Lite II mobile app, launch the View Lite II app on
your mobile device (Android OS is pictured in the below screenshot, however, the process is identical
in the iOS version).
2.
Open the
Options
side menu and select
Server Configuration
. The Video Source list will display.
Figure 2-2
Opening Video Source Menu
3.
Select VIGIL Server. VISIX V-Series devices are considered edge recording devices, and thus are
recognized as their own VIGIL Server within View Lite II. The VIGIL Server window will now deploy. A
menu of all VIGIL Servers already interfaced with View Lite II will deploy.
Figure 2-3
:
Adding a Video Source - Add Video Source
4.
To add a new instance of a video source, tap the
icon.
5.
Enable
VIGIL Connect
.
Alternatively, if you wish to use traditional network connection criteria, leave
VIGIL Connect
disabled and enter in an
IP/DNS Name
and
Port
info (if using standard network
connection criteria, also ignore step 6 of these instructions) for the device.
6.
Enter in the VIGIL Connect alias for the desired VISIX V-Series camera (VSeriescam1 used in the above
example).
