Usage Features:
Installation:
The installation process involves several steps:
- Preparation: Remove the outer dome, inner dome, and camera module. Store the domes in a safe place to prevent scratching. Remove the desiccant sachet from its storage slot in the camera and dispose of it environmentally.
- Local storage: The camera supports local storage on memory cards for alarm recording. Slide the memory card into the slot and press it firmly until it latches.
- Wiring: Connect the necessary wires for power (PoE or auxiliary 12 VDC), alarm inputs/outputs, audio input/output, and CVBS analog video. Ensure proper surge suppression on network/video/power/audio/data/alarm cables.
- Mounting:
- Flush mount: Mark the recess hole and three mounting holes. Drill an 8 mm (0.31 in) bit to drill the three mounting holes and insert supplied mounting plugs. Secure the camera module to the ceiling using the supplied screws.
- Ceiling with SMB-IP: Attach the camera to a Surface Mount Box (SMB). Use the SMB to mark the cable hole and mounting holes. Drill an 8 mm (0.31 in) bit for the three mounting holes and insert supplied mounting plugs. Secure the SMB to the surface. Feed the Ethernet RJ45 cable through the ceiling into the SMB. Remove the cover from the SMB cable conduit and slide out the rubber seals. Thread the Ethernet cables from the camera and source through the seals. Slot the seals into either end of the conduit. Connect the Ethernet cables inside the conduit using the supplied RJ45 shielded coupler. Close the cover on the conduit and position it inside the SMB. Feed the other camera cabling through the cable hole in the SMB. If IP66 water ingress protection is required, connect the camera cabling inside an IP66 approved box. Mount the camera to the SMB using the 3 supplied screws (M5x16mm torx).
- Camera positioning and field-of-view: Connect a monitor to the 2.5 mm jack using an optional monitor cable (S1460) or a CVBS signal. Apply power to the camera. After power-up, wait about 20 seconds. Press the Menu button to stop the IP video stream and enable the service video analog output.
- Pan: Rotate the camera module in the base to adjust horizontal view.
- Tilt: Loosen the two thumbwheels and swing the camera module between the wings to adjust vertical view. Tighten the thumbwheels to secure.
- Twist: Twist the camera module to align the picture shown on the monitor for tilted ceilings or sidewall mounting.
- Local set-up: Use the Menu button on the control panel to access the camera install wizard. Choose application variant, change image orientation, activate automatic back focus, and choose analog output. The zoom and focus are adjusted later via the dome bubble in the web browser.
- Mount inner and outer dome: Place the desiccant sachet inside the inner dome to prevent damp. Align the inner dome fin with the slot in the camera frame and gently click the inner dome into place. Check that the lens can move freely in the dome opening. Mount the outer dome by screwing in the 3 attachment bolts.
