Installing the dome enclosure
1   Remove the dome cover

Use the supplied Torx driver to loosen (but not remove) the four cover screws. The screws are captive and 

will be retained in the lid.

2   Use the template to mark-out and prepare the mounting area

The VDP20 series were designed to maintain their IP and NEMA ratings independent of the install method 

chosen. Therefore, all mounting access positions are sealed until they are ready to be used. For example 

when surface-mounting the housing, first knock out the screw access holes that correspond to the template 

marks “T1”. This can be accomplished by using a cross-point screwdriver.

3   Open the required cable entry

Use either the base cable entry (

E1

) or side cable entry (

E3

) as required. When surface mounting and using 

the side cable entry (

E3

) open either the large (

E4

) or small (

E5

) knock-out within the outer ring to the 

required size by cutting away excess material with a hole cutter, sharp knife or side cutters. The outer ring 

can be rotated so that either of the knock-outs lie alongside the side cable entry, as required. Unused cable 

entries should be blanked with sealing plugs (

E8

). If the conduit entry is not used, cables should be passed 

through a slotted cable grommet (

E9

) to prevent dust ingress. For external applications, conduit should be 

used to carry cables into the housing.

4   Mount the dome enclosure

Using one of the mounting schemes discussed overleaf (Methods for mounting the enclosure), fix the dome 

enclosure (and outer ring, if necessary) in place. When flush mounting or surface mounting using the outer 

ring, ensure that the large rubber gasket (

E6

) is in place under the lip of the dome enclosure.

IMPORTANT: If the dome is being mounted externally using the four base holes, use the supplied rubber 

o-rings within each of the four mounting holes of the dome base to ensure moisture resistant seals 

(see fig 

C

 overleaf).

5   Connect the wiring

Feed the preconnected main lead (that terminates in the 

connections 

F1

 and 

F2

) through one of the cable access points 

and connect it to your video out and power in cables.

A wire-ended adaptor lead (

F8

) is supplied for use with power 

supply cables that are not terminated with an appropriate power 

connector (For 12VDC operation: Connect the red lead to +ve 

and the black lead to -ve. For 24VAC connection, polarity is not 

important).

A service jack socket (

F3

) is also provided for temporary video 

connection when focussing the camera, using an optional 

(SVC-CABLE) service lead.

IMPORTANT: The power supply must be Class 2 certified.

IMPORTANT: If the dome is being mounted externally, use a

suitable sealant around the cable entry hole to ensure a moisture

resistant seal.

6   Fit the camera assembly

Connect the camera to the fly-connector (

F4

). For 

GCDNH/GCDPH WDR version 

cameras - replace the 6 

wire split lead connector that is plugged into the power supply (F4) with the 5 wire split lead connector that 

ships with the camera also connect the OSD lead (

F6

) between the camera and the middle socket of the 

smaller circuit board. 

Place the complete camera assembly (

G1

) onto the three mounting pillars (

G3

) within the enclosure.

7   Remove the camera liner

Lift the camera liner (

H1

) from the chassis (

H2

) to provide full access to the camera.

8   Adjust the camera position and test

Rotate and pan the camera chassis to the required position and then tighten the camera chassis locking 

screws.

Note: For specific camera adjustments (i.e. focussing and settings), please refer to the camera sheet.

9   Replace the camera liner

Carefully fit the camera liner (

J1

) over the focussed camera so that it locates fully on the top ring of the 

camera chassis (

J2

) and provides an unobstructed view for the camera lens.

10 Replace the dome cover

Replace the dome cover (four small internal ribs within the cover locate within four corresponding index slots 

(

E7

) within the enclosure body - these restrict the lid to only four possible orientations and ensure that the 

cover screw holes are correctly aligned). Use the supplied Torx key to tighten the four cover screws.
