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.
2. DESCRIPTION
A. FEATURES
Fi
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.
Figure 2
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.

3. INSTALLATION
A. WIRING
1. Each Cat 5 Camera requires a single Cat 5 cable run from the camera
location to the Cat 5 Camera Module which is typically installed in the
structured wiring enclosure.
2. Terminate the Cat 5e line from each camera to the T568A wiring standard
shown in Figure 3.
B. FINALIZE CONNECTIONS
1. Connect the RJ-45 plug at the camera locations with the Cat 5 Cameras
according to their included instructions.
2. Insert the RJ-45 plugs at the Cat 5 Camera Module into the RJ-45 jacks
located on the Cat 5 Camera Module labeled “CAM1” through “CAM4”.
3. Connect RCA cables from the desired RCA Output Ports and/or the Video
Sequence Output Port on the Cat 5 Camera Module to a modulator, video
server or other video device based on the application.
4. Connect audio (Optional): Plug the RJ-45 end of the Cat 5 to RCA cable
(P/N F2221 -- not included) into the Camera Module's Audio RJ-45 Output
Jack. For each camera (1 through 4) sending audio, plug the corresponding
RCA jack at the other end of the custom cable to the appropriate video
device (for example, the Audio In jack on a one-channel or three-channel
modulator.
Figure 3
5. Apply power to the Cat 5 Camera Module and verify system functionality.
C. ADJUST SEQUENCE RATE (OPTIONAL)
1. If you are using the combined feed from the Video Sequence Output Port, adjust the rate at which each camera displays it's
feed before switching to the next by rotating the Video Sequence Timing Adjustment knob. When the knob is rotated fully
counter-clockwise, the camera feeds will switch approximately every two seconds; when it is rotated fully clockwise, the
feeds will switch approximately every forty seconds.
4. APPLICATION EXAMPLES
A. SEQUENCING CAMERAS
Figure 4 shows 4 cameras sequenced on a single output. This is accomplished by using the built in tunable sequencer output on
the Cat 5 Camera module. In this example, the feeds from all four cameras are combined and sent via the sequencer output to an
LCD Display Module, then to a Cat 5 LCD/Flat Panel Color Monitor.
NOTE: In this application, modulation is not
required.

B. SEQUENCING AND MODULATING CAMERAS
Figure 5 also shows 4 cameras sequenced on a single output. In this example, instead of sending the feed directly to a display module
and LCD display, the feed is sent to the Video In jack on a one channel modulator via RCA jumper cable. The TV channel the homeowner
selects to view the sequenced camera feeds is set at the modulator, and the feed is sent to the video distribution system.
