3 Connecting the Camera
CAUTION
When using this camera to connect with non FLIR branded MPX /
CVI recorders, ensure the non MPX / CVI recorders follow the offi-
cial HD analog protocol standards for CVI / AHD / TVI. If the re-
corder does not follow the official HD analog protocol standards,
we cannot guarantee interoperability between the camera
and the HD analog recorder.
When you first power up the camera and connect it to the DVR, it may
take up to two minutes for the camera image to appear.
It is recommended to connect the camera to your DVR and test the
PTZ controls before permanent installation. For instructions on how to
set up PTZ controls, see 6 Controlling the PTZ Camera with a FLIR
MPX DVR, page 18.
#; r. 7.0/47030/47030; en-US 4
3 Connecting the Camera
1. BNC: Connect the BNC video connector on the camera cable to
a single run of RG59 / RG6 coaxial cable, or to an analog CCTV
balun with a single run of network cable (CAT5e or higher).
NOTE
The video signal can be extended up to 1640ft (500m) with a
single run of RG6 cabling. See 3.1 Video Cabling, page 6 for
details on extension cable options.
2. 12V DC: Connect the camera’s power cable to the included 12V
DC power supply.
CAUTION
Make sure to disconnect the power cable before installing the
camera. The camera will begin moving immediately when the
power cable is connected.
3. Alarm (Optional): Connect the camera to up to 2 alarm input de-
vices and 1 alarm output device.
4. Audio (Optional): Connect the camera to a self-powered micro-
phone for listen-in audio.
5. RS485: Only for use with analog DVRs (CVBS) — To control the
camera’s PTZ functions, connect the camera’s RS485 cables to
the DVR’s RS485 ports. Match the polarity of the RS485 cables
with the DVR’s RS485 positive and negative ports. See 8 Control-
ling the PTZ Camera with an Analog DVR (CVBS), page 45 for full
details.
#; r. 7.0/47030/47030; en-US 5
3 Connecting the Camera
3.1 Video Cabling
You can extend the video signal from this camera using a single ex-
tension cable between the camera and the DVR. See the table below
for the maximum cable run lengths for all supported cable types:
Specification Maximum
Length
RG59 20AWG Conductor 95% Braid CSA/UL or
C(UL) Approved
Up to 985ft
(300m)*
RG6 20AWG Conductor 95% Braid CSA/UL or C
(UL) Approved
Up to 1640ft
(500m)*
Analog CCTV Balun Up to 300ft
(91m)
* Long cable runs over 1000ft may be affected by electro-mechanical
interference (EMI), which can increase the amount of noise in the pic-
ture in some installations.
3.2 Power Cabling
See the table below for required cable gauge for longer power cable
runs. For other installations, connect the included 12V DC power
adapter directly to the camera. Due to voltage drops, it is not recom-
mended to extend power cabling beyond 100ft (31m).
Power Cable Gauge Maximum Length
18AWG Up to 50ft (15m)
17AWG Up to 60ft (18m)
15AWG Up to 100ft (31m)

5 Switch Between HD Analog Video
Formats
This camera includes a UTC controller used to switch between multi-
ple HD analog video formats. Note that the C346ZC252 PTZ camera
is defaulted to MPX / CVI video output. For a full list of supported for-
mats, see http://www.flir.com/security/MPXcomp.
WARNING
By default, FLIR MPX DVRs and MPX cameras are set to CVI vid-
eo format. Use the UTC controller only when connecting to a non
MPX / CVI recorder or a recorder that is not defaulted to MPX / CVI
video format. Check you recorder’s manual for details.
CAUTION
When using this camera to connect with non FLIR branded MPX /
CVI recorders, ensure the non MPX / CVI recorders follow the offi-
cial HD analog protocol standards for CVI / AHD / TVI. If the re-
corder does not follow the official HD analog protocol standards,
we cannot guarantee interoperability between the camera
and the HD analog recorder.
5.1 Installing Batteries
The UTC controller requires two AAA alkaline batteries for power.

5 Switch Between HD Analog Video Formats
CAUTION
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries
of different capacities.
• If you do not plan to use the UTC controller with batteries for a
month or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemi-
cals that can destroy electronics parts.
WARNING
Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly in accordance with
local laws.
To install batteries:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert two fresh AAA alkaline batteries in the battery compart-
ment. Ensure that you face the positive and negative ends of the
batteries in the right direction as marked in the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

eo input on your DVR.
2. Connect the female BNC connector on the UTC controller to a
single run of RG59 / RG6 coaxial cable. See 3.1 Video Cabling,
page 6 for details on extension cable options.
3. Connect the other end of the BNC connector on the coaxial cable
to the camera’s video BNC connector.
