INTRODUCTION 


This document will describe the process for changing Logos and setting Privacy zones on the VK2-PVM10CAM monitor.

To be able to change the Logos or add Privacy zones, you must be able to access the monitor’s web page.



IP Address setting

Please download “Smart Manger”, this program detects any VK2 product on the network and allows simple IP address setting as well as simple access to the monitors web page. 

Smart Manager can be found on following link:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwUgD4PCJmKaM29WbkZXbV9lX2c


Smart Manager will identify any VK2 product on the network and shows it IP address.

The VK2-PVM10CAM monitors are set to DHCP, so will be allocated a DHCP address if this facility is available on the network. If not they will default to address 192.168.30.220. 

If there is no DHCP service on the network, then manually set the address of each monitor by right clicking on the unit in the list and Select the “Assign IP” address option ( Note: the Laptop must be in the same Network segment: 192.168.30……)

 

Changing Logos

The VK2-PVM10CAM monitor is set as default to be installed in Portrait mode with the camera on the left hand side of the monitor with a Vista Logo preloaded.

 

This logo can be changed to display any logo or image. This new logo or image needs to be a Jpeg image of resolution 1920 x 1080.

(Note: Vista can assist with creating new logo files)

 

Once the IP address of the monitor is set, the icon to the left-hand side on Smart Manager will change to Green, this indicates that the Web page is accessible:
