1. INTRODUCTION
The On-Q/Legrand Category 5 Camera Module (P/N CM1001) (see Figure 1) allows a homeowner to
monitor up to four different cameras, like the front door or baby's room, and view the camera from a TV,
an On-Q LCD Panel (P/N CM1002-xx -- not included), or over the internet with the On-Q IP Video Server
(P/N F2295 -- not included). The cameras can be viewed sequentially on the same channel, each on a
different channel, or a combination of both. It supports up to four On-Q/Legrand Cat 5 cameras and
allows for easy conversion of any Cat 5 outlets in the home to support a security camera.

gure 1
The Category 5 Camera Module acts as the interface between On-Q Cameras and an On-Q
Video Distribution Network, and features:
• One wire camera installation — power, video and audio share one Cat 5 cable to each camera
• Ability to output four individual camera signals or a combined signal of up to all four cameras on a single output
• On-board sequencing of up to four camera images with the adjustable sequence times ranging from 2 to 40 seconds
• Architecture supports camera viewing via modulation, LCD Screens, and IP Distribution
• One Bay Module Mounting Bracket (P/N 364890-01) Included
B. BASIC OPERATION
Refer to Figure 2
1. Cameras are connected to the Camera RJ-
45 Input Jacks with Cat 5e cable.
2. Each camera's signal is output on it's
corresponding Camera RCA Output Jack,
each of which can be connected via an
RCA jumper cable to a Modulator, which
modulates the camera signal and feeds it
to a video distribution system, directly to
the On-Q LCD Display Module for viewing
on the LCD/Flat Panel Color Monitor, or to
the On-Q IP Video Server.
3. The Module requires 800mA@12VDC and
receives it's power at the Power Jack &
LED via a power supply (P/N F7726 - not
included). The LED illuminates green when
power is applied.

4. When using a camera microphone (not included) with any cameras that are connected to the Cat 5 Camera module, audio
signals can be output by using a Cat 5 to RCA cable (P/N F2221 -- not included). The RJ-45 end of this cable plugs into the
Audio RJ-45 Output Jack and the other end of the cable provides four RCA jacks labeled from 1 through 4. The audio RCA
jacks can be connected to a Modulator's Audio In jack so that the camera’s video and audio will be available on a modulated
channel.
5. The Video Sequence Output Port combines the signals from any camera attached to the Module into one output signal
which is output via an RCA jumper cable. For example, if there are four cameras attached to the module and the Video
Sequence Output Port signal is fed to a Modulator and then to a video distribution system, when the homeowner tunes their
TV to the channel determined by the Modulator, they will see the feeds from all four cameras appear, one at a time in
sequence. This port can be used as the only output from the camera module, or it can be used in conjunction with the
individual camera RCA output jacks to provide various camera viewing configurations.
6. The speed that the sequencer changes from one camera to another can be adjusted using the Video Sequence Timing
Adjustment knob. Use this knob to adjust the sequence time from 2 to 40 seconds -- the length of time each camera will be
shown before switching to the next camera.
