CHAPTER 1 Using a VS-1 Smart
Camera for the First Time
Before proceeding with this chapter, you should have:
• Completed installation of Visionscape®software;
• Suitably mounted and wired the VS-1 Smart Camera (see Chapter 2
of Visionscape® Smart Camera Guide)
Establishing a Network Connection and Making a
FrontRunner™ Device Button for Your Camera
This section assumes familiarity with basic wired networking concepts
such as IP addresses and DHCP servers. If these terms are not familiar,
please talk to your IT department and see “Setting Up Network
Communications” in the Visionscape® Smart Camera Guide.
A network connection is required to communicate with the VS-1 Smart
Camera. In order that the VS-1 Smart Camera be recognized, it must
have a valid IP address. As shipped, the VS-1 Smart Camera will try to
obtain an IP address from a DHCP server so, if your network is configured
for DHCP, you will be able to connect to your camera without changing
any settings. However, if your network requires a static IP address to be
assigned, or if you would like to use a cross-link cable, please see
Chapter 1Using a VS-1 Smart Camera for the First Time
1-2 Getting Started with the VS-1 Smart Camera v4.1.0, February 2010
“Setting Up Network Communications” in the Visionscape® Smart
Camera Guide.
Note: When using a VS-1 Smart Camera in a production environment, it
MUST be programmed to use a static IP address instead of DHCP. This is
to prevent loss of communications due to IP lease renewal by the DHCP
server.
Follow these steps when connecting the VS-1 Smart Camera for the first
time:
1. Connect the VS-1 Smart Camera to the same network as the PC that
will be running the FrontRunner™ software.
2. Apply power to the VS-1 Smart Camera; be sure to do this AFTER
making the physical connection to the network.
3. Start the FrontRunner™ application by selecting Start > Visionscape
> Visionscape FrontRunner. The main FrontRunner™ screen is
displayed, as shown in Figure 1–1.

4. Select View > Network Overview to display the Network Overview
window, as shown in Figure 1–2.

Your camera should appear in the network overview list. The camera
name will be of the form HawkeyeXXXXXX, where the X’s represent
the last part of the camera’s MAC address.

should update and display the Change Network Settings … button, as
shown in Figure 1–3.

6. If the info area displays a red background identifying a camera
communication problem, it means that the camera and the PC, even
though connected to the same network, are not using the same
logical IP addressing. See “Setting Up Network Communications” in
the Visionscape® Smart Camera Guide to correct the communication
problem.
7. Click the Change Network Settings button, which displays the login
screen. Enter the default user name (hawkeye) and password
(“vision”) and click OK. You will see the Change HawkEye Network
Settings dialog box (Figure 1–4), which allows you to change the
name of your camera.
