During installation:
• Camera Lens: Handle the camera carefully to prevent scratching or soiling the lens or dome. If the
lens or IR array shield becomes soiled, clean it only with approved products. See the
Cleaning section.
• Monitor impedance: If you use a setup monitor when installing the camera, ensure that the
monitor input impedance is set to 75 .
• Power supply: Camera drop cable: The camera drop cable includes two connectors:
— Video BNC connector: For transmission of the HD-TVI video signal across a coax (75 )
extension cable. This cable must connect to an HD-TVI compatible video player or recorder
— Power connector: When applying Vdc power, observe the power polarity. See the picture to the
picture of the drop cable connectors on page 1.
The following procedure outlines an installation of the camera to a mounting surface. Your installation
steps may dier, depending on how the camera is mounted and how the drop cable connects to video and
power extension cables. To install the camera onto a surface:
1. Separate the camera dome cover assembly from the camera module by loosening the two hex
screws on the sides of the dome using the L-wrench provided. Note that the dome cover is tethered
to the camera module.
2. Using the drill template or the base housing, mark the locations of the mounting screw holes, and
the hole for the drop cable if routing the cable through the mounting surface.

3. Apply a small but adequate amount of silicone sealant around the holes for the mounting screws in
the mounting base.
4. Using appropriate fasteners, secure the mounting base to the mounting surface. The mounting
screws and wall inserts are adequate for many surface types.
5. Route power and video extension cables from your 12 Vdc power source and monitoring equipment
to the mounting location. Do not apply power to the power extension cable at this time.
6. Connect the camera drop cables to the video and power extension cables. NOTE: Camera drop
cable connectors are not waterproof. Use appropriate seals to protect these connections from
contamination.
NOTE
The HD-TVI video cable must attach to the HD-TVI compatible equipment.
7. Apply power to the camera. Use caution to observe the DC power polarity shown in the drop cable
photo on page 1.
8. Verify that a video signal can be seen on your video monitoring equipment.
Step 2. Adjust the camera for your surveillance target
1. Observe the live video on your monitoring equipment, or plug a video setup monitor (not provided)
into the RCA jack inside the camera.
2. To adjust the camera pan, grasp the camera gimbal on both sides at the pivot point, then rotate the
as shown in the illustration below to point it at your surveillance target.

To adjust the tilt, loosen the two tilt adjust set screws (one on each side), and then rock the gimbal
as shown above in the right illustration.
To adjust the camera horizon line, grasp the camera head carefully and rotate it as shown in the
photo below.

3. Unscrew the Wide - Tele and Near - Far adjustment levers about 1/4 turn, then adjust the lens zoom
and focus as needed. Tighten the levers screws until snug to hold them in place.

4. If you choose to congure the camera OSD settings remotely (through the HD-TVI HVR), apply a thin
bead of silicone sealant around the rubber dome gasket, and then reinstall the camera dome cover
assembly. Ensure that the inside of the dome is clean.
Otherwise, continue with “Step 3. Setup the camera using the OSD” on page 2.
Step 3. Setup the camera using the OSD
Use the OSD to customized the internal settings of the camera for the installation environment.
1. Remove the camera dome cover assembly if it is installed.
2. Find the OSD joystick. It is located on the circuit board behind the camera module.

Using the OSD - example: Adjust the image quality
Use the example included here as a model for conguring other OSD options. NOTE: For clarity, screen
captures used here show only the OSD menus. A live video image normally appears the background.
The default camera settings produce optimal image quality for most applications. However, some
environments may have conditions the camera can be adjusted to compensate for. Also, it can be
congured to reect or mirror the image to provide a more realistic view. Use the following steps to make
whatever adjustments are needed to improve the video image. Perform the following during “normal”
lighting conditions in the eld of view.
1. Remove the camera dome cover assembly to access the OSD joystick.
2. Press the joystick in toward the mounting base to open the OSD menu. The main menu option
highlighted in yellow indicates the current selection.

Rock the joystick left or right until the video image is the sharpest, and then push the joystick in
again to select the option.
6. Repeat the procedure described above with GAMMA, D-WDR, DEFOG, and SHADING.
7. If you need to reect the video image vertically, horizontally, or both, use the MIRROR feature to
make the change.
8. To return to the Main Menu, rock the joystick down to highlight RETURN, and then push the joystick
in to select it.
9. To close the OSD menu, rock the joystick up or down to highlight RETURN, and then push the
joystick in to select it.
10. After making changes to the OSD using the joystick, apply a thin bead of silicone sealant around the
rubber dome gasket, and then reinstall the camera dome cover assembly. Ensure that the inside of
the dome is clean.
CLEANING
Clean the camera dome with an approved glass cleaning solution and a lint free cloth.
• Dust can be removed from the unit by wiping it with a soft damp cloth. To remove stains, gently rub
the surface with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry it with a
soft cloth.
• Remove all foreign particles, such as plastic or rubber materials, attached to the camera housing.
These may cause damage to the surface over time.
CAUTION
Do not use benzene, thinner or other chemical products on the camera assembly; these may
dissolve the paint and promote damage of the surfaces. Before using any chemical product,
carefully follow the accompanying instructions.
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 /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.
If necessary,change the camera position.
