Preparing the Installation
Modular Camera System Setup
The modular camera provides maximum flexibility to combine different imager modules, mounting options,
and cable configurations to suit any number of installation scenarios. Either of the 2 camera imager modules
can be connected to the modular camera main unit for maximum versatility and optimal installations.
The following are required to set up your modular camera system:
l
At least one modular camera main unit; H5A-MOD-2P
l
Up to two imager modules per main unit:
l
Micro bullet imager: 5C-H5MOD-MB2 or 3C-H5MOD-MB2
l
Right angle imager: 3C-H5MOD-RP4
l
One HD BNC cable for each imager module:
l
2 m (6.5 ft) cable: CBL2M-1001
l
5 m (16.4 ft) cable: CBL5M-1001
Important: HD BNC cables should not be sharply bent, twisted, or crimped to ensure optimal video
transmission quality. For more information, see Recommended Use of HD BNC Cables on the next
page.
Mounting and Aiming Video Analytics Cameras
When installing an Avigilon video analytics camera, follow the listed mounting and aiming recommendations
to maximize the camera's analytics capabilities:
l
The camera should be installed above 2.74 m (9 feet).
The camera also supports lower installations that are in the eye-level range of 1.21 m to 2.13 m (4-7 ft
range). If installing in this lower range, make sure to select the Indoor Close-up mode when
configuring the analytics. For more information, see the Avigilon Designing a Site for Video Analytics
Guide, available on the website.
l
The camera should tilt downwards no more than 45 degrees.
l
The camera image should be level with the horizon line.
l
The camera should be mounted to a stable surface to minimize the physical movement of the camera
after installation.
For more details, see Designing a Site for Video Analytics. The document is available on the Avigilon website.
