8. 

If the drop cable will route through a hole in the mounting surface, route the cable through the hole, 
and then reassemble the camera on the mounting plate. Tighten the bezel only enough to hold the 
assembly together, but do not tighten the bezel. 

9. 

Connect the camera drop cable to video and power extension cables. 

10.  Connect the CVBS leads to a toggle switch, if needed, or short them together for CVBS output at the 

BNC connector. Seal the wires to protect from moisture. 

11.  Connect the other end of the video extension cable to a HD-TVI compatible (or CVBS, if configured) 

video monitoring device, such as a HD-TVI digital video recorder (DVR). 

 

NOTE

Drop cable connectors are not waterproof. 

12.  Connect the other end of the power extension cable to a 12 Vdc power source. Observe the polarity 

of the cable shown in the photo on page 1 of this guide. 

13.  Rotate the camera module so that the light sensor is at the bottom of the IR array, if necessary. 

14.  While observing video from the camera on a monitor, aim the camera at your surveillance target. 

See the figure below for adjustment ranges.  
 

Cleaning

Clean the camera glass with an approved glass cleaning solution and a lint free cloth. 

• 

Dust can be removed from the unit by wiping it with a soft damp cloth. To remove stains, gently rub 
the surface with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry it with a 
soft cloth.

• 

Remove all foreign particles, such as plastic or rubber materials, attached to the camera housing. 
These may cause damage to the surface over time. 

CAUTION

Do not use benzene, thinner or other chemical products on the camera assembly; these may 
dissolve the paint and promote damage of the surfaces. Before using any chemical product, 
carefully follow the accompanying instructions.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible Cause

Nothing appears on the screen 

- Check the power connection. 

- Check the video signal cable connection to the monitor. 

The video image is dim or not clear.

- If the camera lens is dirty, clean it with a soft, clean cloth.

- Adjust the monitor controls, if necessary. 

- If the camera is facing a very strong light, change the camera position.

The screen is dark.

- Adjust the contrast control of the monitor.

- Set the monitor impedance properly for the DVR (usually 75 Ω /Hi-Z), 

   and check the cable connections.

The camera is not working properly and the 

surface of the camera is hot.

- Verify that the camera is correctly connected to an appropriate regulated  

   power source.

The image on the monitor flickers

- Make sure that the camera isn’t facing direct sunlight or fluorescent light.  

   If necessary,change the camera position.
