Installing the Camera
The following explains the procedures to install the camera on a ceiling using the ceiling mount
cover SS40-S-VB/SS40-B-VB (optional).
Before installing the camera, set the IP address and other network information on the camera
using the "VB Initial Setting Tool".
For details on how to operate the "VB Initial Setting Tool", see "VB-M40 Operation Guide".
1
Determine an installation position for the camera and drill holes in the ceiling
Use the template bundled with the ceiling mount cover (optional) to determine the positions of
the fi xing screw holes and wiring hole according to the camera orientation. Next, drill holes in
the ceiling.
2
Attach the ceiling plate to the camera
Fix the ceiling plate to the camera with the four screws (M3) bundled with the ceiling mount cover
(optional).
3
Secure the safety wire
Securely attach the safety wire to an anchor or structure. After securing one end of the safety
wire to the ceiling, secure the other end to the camera using the screw that is fastened to the
camera.
Important
If a wiring hole cannot be opened in a concrete ceiling, etc., secure the wiring to a comparable location.
4
Fix the ceiling plate to the ceiling
Fix the ceiling plate to the ceiling at four points using the appropriate screws. The ceiling
plate has four diameter
Φ
4.5 screw holes. Use the appropriate screws for ceiling mounting in
accordance with the condition and material of the installation site.
5
Connect the LAN cable to the camera through the wiring hole
If an AC adapter PA-V17 (optional) or external power supply is used, connect the power
connector to the camera.
Connect cables to external device I/O terminals and audio input/output terminals as
necessary.
6
Install the ceiling mount cover
Align the (O) mark on the ceiling mount cover with the (I) mark on the rear of the camera, and
turn the cover clockwise to the (I) position.
Check that the ceiling mount cover is securely attached.
Note
Cutout section
If the cables cannot be stored above a ceiling made of concrete, etc., or if
the cables do not fi t within the ceiling mount cover, bend the cutout section
of the ceiling mount cover using diagonal pliers, etc., to create a cutout
through which to guide the cables.
7
Reboot the camera when the installation is complete
The camera position is initiated (see "Maintenance" in Chapter 4, "Setting Page" of the "VB-M40
Operation Guide").
Important
The camera can be installed in the upright position. Attach commercial anti-slip guards to the base of the
camera and set on a fl at, stable surface without inclination, or fi x the camera to a tripod, etc. Be sure to use
a tripod with mounting screws shorter than 5.5 mm (0.22 in). Using a tripod with mounting screws 5.5 mm
(0.22 in) or longer may damage the camera. Also, use a tripod with a base diameter of 30 mm (1.18 in) or
more.

Connecting the Camera
Power Connection
Power can be supplied to the camera in the three ways described as follows.
J
PoE (Power over Ethernet)
The camera supports PoE functions. Power can be supplied to the camera by using a LAN cable
to connect it to a PoE HUB that conforms to the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Important
Check with your Canon sales representative for more information about PoE HUB and Midspan
technology.
Some PoE HUBs allow current limits for each port, but applying limits may interfere with performance. If
using this type of PoE HUB, do not limit the operating current.
Some PoE HUBs have total consumption current limits for ports, which can interfere with performance
when multiple ports are in use. For more information, check the instruction guide for your PoE HUB.
Use a category 5 or higher cable 100 m (328 ft.) or less in length for the LAN cable that connects the
camera and the PoE HUB.
When the camera is connected to a switching HUB, changing the connection while the camera is
operating may cause the HUB learning function to interfere with communication. Do not change the
connection when the camera is operating.
The camera can also be connected to an AC adapter (optional) while receiving power from a PoE
HUB. In such cases, the PoE power supply is given priority, and the camera does not use the power
supply from the AC adapter (optional). When the PoE power supply is disconnected, power is supplied
automatically from the AC adapter (optional). Midspan (a LAN cable power supply device) is a device
that, like a PoE HUB, supplies power to the camera via a LAN cable.

RM Viewer can be used to check external device input status and control ouput to an external
device (see "Operating the External Device Output" and "Displaying Event Status" in the "VB-M40
Operation Guide").
J
External Device Input Terminals (IN1, IN2)
External device I/O terminals consist of two sets (IN1, IN2) of two terminals, with the negative
terminal connected to the camera interior GND. Connecting cables to the positive and negative
terminals and creating electrical continuity or insulation between the terminals notifi es the viewer.
Important
When connecting sensors and switches, connect terminals that are electrically isolated from the
respective power and GND.
Do not push the external device I/O terminal button with too much force. Doing so may cause the button
to remain pushed-in.
