TOOLS YOU NEED

To install the camera, you will need:

• 12 Vdc or 24 Vac power source. See Specications for wattage requirement.

• Tools and additional fasteners (may be required) for mounting the camera

• Phillips #2 screwdriver

• Video and power extension cables

• CCTV video setup monitor (optional)

INSTALLATION

Before installation:

• Make sure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.

• Check the specication of the products for the installation environment.

• Make sure that the wall or the ceiling is strong enough to withstand 3 times the weight of the camera.

• To avoid re or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will

provide the rated voltage and wattage for the camera. See the Specications section.

During installation:

• Camera Lens: Handle the camera carefully to prevent scratching or soiling the lens. If the lens or IR

array shield becomes soiled, clean it only with approved products. See the

Cleaning section.

• Monitor impedance: Set the monitor impedance switch to 75 Ω.

• Power supply: Camera drop cable: The camera drop cable includes two connectors:

— Video BNC connector: For transmission of the video signal across a coax (75 Ω) extension cable.

— Power connector: When applying 12 Vdc power, observe the power polarity. The polarity is

marked on the connector.

Mounting the camera

These cameras can be mounted on a wall or ceiling that has sucient strength to support it. The video/

power drop cable from the camera can be routed either through mounting surface or through a cable guide

on the edge of the mounting base.

Typical ceiling mounting

NOTE

If mounting the camera on a wall, ensure that the label on the mounting base, “Bottom,” is down.

If mounting the camera on a ceiling, orient the mounting base so that the cable guide is pointing

away from any source of water, dust, and other contaminates.

1. Using the drill template provided, mark the location of the screws that anchor the mounting base

to the mounting surface. See the note above. If you are routing the drop cable through mounting

surface, also mark the position of the hole for the drop cable.

2. Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the mounting surface. The mounting hardware

provided is appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more

appropriate fasteners may be required.

3. Drill a 3/4” hole through the mounting surface for the drop cable, if necessary.

4. Route the drop cable through the hole in the mounting surface, or through the cable guide in the

mounting base, then attach the camera assembly to the surface using the appropriate fasteners.

5. Connect the camera drop cable to video and power extension cables as required. NOTE: The

camera includes both an HD-TVI and CVBS video drop cables.

6. Connect the other end of the video extension cable to a video monitoring device, such as a CCTV

system monitor or HD-TVI compatible DVR.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible Cause

Nothing appears on the screen - Check the power connection.

- Check the video signal cable connection to the monitor.

The video image is dim or not clear. - If the camera lens is dirty, clean it with a soft, clean cloth.

- Adjust the monitor controls, if necessary.

- If the camera is facing a very strong light, change the camera position.

- Adjust the lens focus.

The screen is dark. - Adjust the contrast control of the monitor.

- If you have an intermediate device, set the impedance (75 Ω /Hi-Z)

properly, and check the cable connections.

The camera is not working properly and

the surface of the camera is hot.

- Verify that the camera is correctly connected to an appropriate regulated

power source.

The image on the monitor ickers - Make sure that the camera isn’t facing direct sunlight or uorescent light.
